On top of it, we just had out taxes increased in February. This coming May, we are going to the polls to vote for more taxes (nothing has been said officially, however, voting yes on Prop 1A means more taxes, as you can learn from visiting www.SpendingCap.org) and there is still a hole of 8 bill. in the budget and new talk of additional taxes. For how long this is going to go on?

I've gone 10 years without Health Care to cope with the economic downturn!

The number of uninsured Americans has increased 22 percent since 2000, Over 20,000 people die each year because they have NO Health Care, that's over 60 a day!

Hundreds of thousands die from needless mistakes from an antiquated inept system that has had no major innovations in years, sure there are new medicines and procedures but the system is the same as it was when I was a child!

Capitalism is not the Best method for Everything. America's health Care system is a Corrupt, Broken Failure and it needs be FIXED by focusing on Healthy Paitents instead of Healthy Profits. Your fellow Americans are dieing!

Who needs Terrorism when we have America's Health Care System?

How Crafty Health Insurers Are Denying Care http://www...-care.html

I spend less. It occurs to me that perhaps the only way to get our elected officials to pass a budget on time is to pass a proposition that would directly affect their personal economies.
My proposal is that for every day they do not pass a budget they are not paid for that day - nor should they be able to be paid retroactively or be paid per diem. I do not appreciate paying them for not getting the work down we elect them to do.
Neither do I appreciate South Carolina's Gov. Mark Sanford refusing to resign after failing to show up for work for 5 days. Most anyone else would be fired for failing to come to work yet we seem to allow our elected government officials to get away with meeting a lower standard of not having to show up for work or complete their work on time.
As well as not paying them for work not done perhaps we should consider an automatic 10 or 20% penalty on their yearly income if they find themselves unable to pass a budget on time.
Perhaps then they would suddenly be able to find common ground.
Fellow Californians what do you think?

I believe that our governor and all members of the legislature should relinquish their salary until they resolve our state's budget crisis. Maybe they should be receiving state IOU's as well. Better yet, they should give up their salary completely. As a taxpayer, I am tired of paying them for doing absolutely nothing about our economy. I am tired of listening to their bickering at the expense of so many loosing their jobs.

I totally support our President's Health Care program. Having been on Cobra and a pre- exsiting condtion, I know the problems of not being able to get health insurance. Private insurances do not care about us. They only care about making money for themselves. When Cobra expires, no insurance company will accept me because of my cancer even though I have been in remission for ten years.
