Oh brother..... Just in the interest of staying on topic, I will just say "Okay".

So you think that the person who pays some out of pocket for healthcare services (when service is rendered) and the person who pays nothing at all will likely use the SAME amount of healthcare? Let's just say, they both get a cough and a sore throat. Which do you think is more likely to make a trip to the doctor?

for healthcare, yes.
regardless of what plan II have had whether it covers a little or a lot or whether the copay's were small or I had to pay all of it because of a high deductible If I am sick enough I feel I need to go to the doctor I do, If I think I can get through it without too much suffering, then no
right now emergency care is free anyway, well free to the users, us insured people have to pay...... And moving on from all that this bill requires everyone to pay in, to choose a plan so I am not sure where you are even going with your argument

I just will have to agree to disagree on that. Moving on...

I must have missed the whole thing about EVERYONE (regardless of income) paying in. If it is in fact everyone pays the same for the same service then I guess I'll have to be on board with that one.
I am still a little apprehensive about the government requiring it's citizens to purchase any type of service whether public or private. Sounds unconstitutional to me.
Your idea of rights and mine aren't quite in alignment. We have a right to work, but not a right to a job. We have a right to earn a wage, but not a right to be given things we didn't pay for. We have a right to purchase health insurance or not as we see fit, but we don't have a right to demand others pay for it for us. (Corollary: If we choose not to purchase health insurance, should something go wrong, it's the individual's responsibility -- not society's -- to cover the cost.)
Obviously, you see things very differently.
All I'll say anymore on this is: May you get all that you ask for.
I will restate it here and simplifiy it. Between these two options which one is preferable? 20 more years of our existing healthcare issues and problems, or "ObamaCare"?
Well, I think that's a well crafted scare-tactic question, and I don't think it'll take us near that long to come up with something besides socialism, but I'll answer it just for fun. I would much rather have 20 more years of in-check government, than unconstitutional leaps and bounds by our government to force everyone into buying health insurance.
I'd probably have our current system for 100 years, before just saying "Okayyyyy, you win, Mr. Obama. Gosh, you're so much smarter than the majority in America. I'll just let you do what you want. That's the true American way"

you are not even looking at the full picture so yes apparently we see things differently because you are not considering all the issues.
EVERYONE ALREADY HAS A RIGHT IN THIS COUNTRY TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE, that is ALREADY the case way way before ObamaCare.
WE ARE ALREADY PAYING for those that do not have health coverage by having to make up for their costs, do you understand that? this bill is an attempt to get those people to PAY FOR THEMSELVES
WE ARE NOT AS A SOCIETY GOING TO END GUARANTEED EMERGENCY CARE, it's not even logical to consider our society standing for the for a second, so you have two options, the insured pay for everyone who is uninsured (as it is now) or have everyone buy coverage.
blocking this bill is just saying "in the long term" I want to pay for everyone else's coverage as in the end that is what ends up happening. you make statements against paying for freeloaders care but then support the side that wants you to continue to do so, what side are you really on?

No, I do see those things. You're thinking Obamacare will reduce the cost of doing business because more people will be paying into a system that will allow conventional care to be provided rather than emergency care.
But I know that hospitals and others involved in the health care industry will take full advantage of this and costs will actually go up because the taxpayer money trough will have been replenished.
The only way to reduce costs and maintain the level of quality is to remove all government incentives to the businesses and individuals involved with health care.
redjeepxj You should read the bill thoroughly. It says over a 1000times as the HHS may decide or determine. That is entirely to much power to leave in the hands of one bureaucrat.
As I read most of your posts,it seems to me that your education has far out striped your intelligence.

I don't appreciate the personal attack. The bill is not perfect, I never said I agreed with everything in it, EVER. So I don't appreciate you using such a lame argument of saying I support it so I support everything in it.
I will take a ~80% solution over a 0% solution, and especially over the republican plan which will just make things far worse.

costs will go down because more people are paying in, instead of receiving free health services, as int he people who just chance and if something happens they just declare bankruptcy and/or the hospital writes it off
RedJeep, my friend, you had me laughing out loud.
