Feb. 3, 2008, 2:09 p.m.I think McCain would be no better than Hillary or Obama. If it's McCain he stinks way too bad for me to hold my nose and vote for him. Third party would be my only way to go if I don't just sit it out.

Feb. 3, 2008, 6:32 p.m.I have catastrophic health care insurance. I only need the insurance if something horrendous happens. I don't need health care insurance is I only have the sniffles or a bum tooth.
In my world, it makes more economic sense to pay cash for the health care I need. I could pay $1800 year for health insurance, or keep on paying the $500 a year for the health services I do use.
So, Hillary wants my paychecks to be garnished to give me the health insurance that I don't feel I need??
I thought this was a country land of the free and the home of the brave. My bravery in my health situation ends when I contemplate catastrophic health care, and I have a choice to buy that kind of policy.
As a lifelong republican, I was almost ready to flip to vote for Hillary, definitely against Huckabee, or maybe even against McCain. But the more she speaks about health care, the more I know that McCain is the lesser of evils.

Feb. 4, 2008, 1:20 a.m.Time after time a ceo raids his company health & retirement plan and then gives himself a big raise. I first started seeing it in the early 1980s. So corporate America can't be trusted with our health plans. My Union takes money out of my paycheck for my health & welfare plan and also for my retirement plan. I have excellent health care and a good retirement plan. My Union is trustworthy, too. But only 10% of Americans are unionised. So what about all of you poor fools out there with nothing? You will have to sell your house when you get sick. Too bad.
