I don't understand why it is everyone gets into a huge fuss about religion and science. Ok, I do know why, but what I don't get is why we can't put it aside. We are trying to improve the health care system. What exactly does religion play in that scenario? Are we going to make other people suffer, just because someone has a different opinion than us? I should hope not, for all our sakes.
I think the thing that's got me the most irked about this is CNBC's revelation that "We’re going to have 2 million to 4 million people pay for all of this when they are already paying 70 percent or 60 percent of all the tax income in this country."

Those who are making more than $280k, as you put it. This makes no sense to me. If it's going to be a public option, don't dump it only on everyone who has absolutely no need for it. If you want to provide a public option, make the public pay for it.

Of course, I'm opposed to the whole idea of taxpayers paying everyone healthcare as a rule, but that revelation just broke the camel's back for me.
