Health bill does too much, or not enough
Republicans are often saying that a majority of Americans do not like the proposed health insurance reform. But my question is how many
people dislike it because they feel it goes too far, versus people who dislike it because they feel it doesn't go far enough.

Are there people who, perhaps, want a public option or want single payer, and because they're not going to get either of those,
they're digging their heels and opposing it.

1. It goes too far pushing us into corporate dominance over our lives.
This bill scares me. After seeing so much abuse in the financial system and in the health care system do I want to tie myself to the good graces of someone who gets bonuses for not fulfilling their obligations? No way. I want options.

I was okay with my health insurance until I learned how some get treated when they are sick. I no longer feel a sense of security from my health insurance policy. I want a government option.
