Last night, Health Care for America Now sent a text message to our supporters, asking for their predictions and reactions to Obama's speech. Here's a few we got back:
New Jersey:
I VOTED FOR CHANGE AND THAT INCLUDES HEALTHCARE INSURANCE REFORM. DO NOT LET THE GOP WIN!
Ohio:
THANK YOU MR. OBAMA. IT'S ABOUT TIME OUR COUNTRY HAS A LEADER THAT ISN'T AFRAID TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
Washington:
GET THOSE CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN TO GET SOME GUTS AND PASS THIS HEALTH BILL WITHOUT ALL THE BIPARTISAN STUFF.
Texas:
PLEASE DONT GIVE UP ON THE PUBLIC OPTION…
California:
CORRAL THE WAGONS, YOU'RE WITH ME OR AGAINST. HALLELUJAH!!!
Washington:
THIS IS THE OBAMA I VOTED FOR! GREAT TO SEE HIM BACK ON HIS GAME.
I feel that he is caving on the public health option and I don't think the other alternatives will bring the kind of change that we need.
I will be featured tonight on the national CBS evening newscast with Katie Couric at 6:30PM ET as a small business owner who is being hurt by high health insurance costs. Please watch!
Until I heard the specifics of the Presedent's health care plan, I really did not know how or if I would be affected.
I thought the speech was extremly enlightening, percise and clearly mapped out.
I am one of those seniors over 65 and on med-care not by choice but by de-fault for having worked in state employment with coverage, as well as social security coverage.
If the plan was clear to me it should be a super-nova of clearity for brighter minds in the congress and senate.
Great Job Mr Presedent! Thanks.

It's the trillion dollar price tag that I have a disagreement with. We need health insurance options that aren't going to saddle our children with yet another trillion dollars. It's been an expensive ride ever since the dems arrived in the white house.
Go back to the drawing board. Please. There needs to be a way we can do this in a fiscally responsible manner.
