I cannot undertand why USA people are so pessimisted with this kind of health reform?
Australia and New Zealand have been in this reform for a longtime. But we are running very well. It is better to have good health citizen rather than bad healh citizen. If the rich won't pay a little bit to help the poors, their diseased will also spread to the riches and they will all sick. There is no choice in a country to have some riches and some poors. The poors are also contributing development of economy through their hard works, their consumption.

Yes indeed we can!!!, Mr. Sacrava.
To Areak Prey,
What you see or feel as American pessimistic or paranoid about healthcare reform is that we have a provision in our constitution called the First Amendment, in which a phrase known as Freedom of Expession was enthrined. American love and respect this freedom more than anything else. Many sacrifice has been made to preserve it.

It is very sad that many Cambodian who have learnt from France and USA and have brainwashed with the system they have lived in which they cannot have an open mind for something is different. That is why Cambodia is always being led by either extrem right or extrem left.
-USA is always in very right position.
-France is a centre to create more leftist.
We really need a central position which is between right and left. This position is also a path of Buddhism which we call a caring society and was also advocated by Krom Ngoy.
We need to support the super rich for their hardwork and their saving. But we also need to care about the poor for their survival. Therefore we need to advocate and to lobby the riches to pay extra taxes to support these poor citizen so that they can live in human dignity and can contribute to our society.
The key of healthcare reform, is about state responsiblity to care for their poor citizen when they are sick and need healthcare. Australia and New Zealand are the two countries in the OECD countries with this style of healthcare system. It has ran pretty good. All my children and their spouses are in medical professional. But I insist them to help the poor. Regardless of what system, they are still the group of high earning group of the country.

Areak Prey and Sacrava live in a small countries, these people don't understand the cause & effect what will happen if the US adopts the universal healthcare?

Who will benefit most? The Phamaceutical industry or creating more welfare & foodstamp for the lazy people?

We have to analize the economic & social care of this program. If the investment is not profitable people shouldn't invest, and the same applies to this healthcare program. Democrat is in the wrong tracks, because they should first create jobs while people keep losing jobs before they head to raise tax and create this healthcare that is not necessary in the US.

Jobs must be created, and in order to create jobs they should not raise tax and if they raise tax, people's incomes will be reduced and they will comsume less, then the economy will be going down.

Economy like creating jobs the US must concentrate on that, it is the priority not the healthcare.
In the US no American will be left to die even without the insurance. They are treated just the same.

Even with OB signed that bill it is not going to do any good, because his bill is against the US Constitutional. The American people have the right to buy the insurance or not buy it is up to them. Because of that, we see more states file a law suit against the Democrat for abusing power.

Jobs is the primary subject the two parties should focus on.

USA today is a ONE PARTY STATE.
The Health bill signed without one vote from Rep.
Every American will be forced to buy the insurance, if refuses that person will be punished by law of Communist US Democrat.

I think as a Union supporter, the Labor union must create our Union labor party. I hate both Rep and Dem. They are both equally evils. This time Dem is worse than Rep.

Abuse power as usual. Nancy Pelosi spent our taxes for her and her family vacation, and no one dares to confront her. F'
