Sorry, but the commercial is very one sided and not very well researched.
At the end it should state: "Brought to you by the INSURANCE companies lobby effort consortium".
We need this to make change. No one is saying this is THE answer, but rather a STEP toward universal health care. We have to be willing to take the first step whether the situation is perfect or not. It will evolve from there. The current system will crumble into the complete failure it nearly is already anyway.
The corporate insurance greed has gone far enough. The first step is to go around this issue and then on from there.

Answer to your question, Yes, very much so.
I wish people would just take 10 minutes to go through some of the outrageous things that this bill allows. I think everyone would be against if so...

I was in the U.S. for business the other day and i was with very well educated people. That only made their naiveté all that more frightening. I was asked about my healthcare system non-stop. They could not understand the concept that if the CEO of a company broke his arm and if a hobo cut his arm off the hobo would be seen first. We have no system that creates "death panel" or all those ludicrous lies. If a HUMAN walks in to an ER with more extensive injuries than you, you wait. Yes i have had to wait in the ER for 6 hours to get stitches on a couple of occasions, but its not like i was dying people who needed it more went first.
The rest of the world is watching you (America) right now and my best guesstimate is 90% of us know what is right, its socialized health care. You (again Americans) have let the globe down alot of recent. I believe when bush was elected to his second term Englands Headlines had "How can (whatever the population was at the time) be so dumb?"
We all used to gauge you guys as the one a few steps ahead, were starting to see you as the ones behind. If somehow this fails to go through and Americans veto this bill you will loose even more respect in the global community, and you ability to press you beliefs on other nations under the ruse of humanitarianism will no longer work. Humanity starts at home.
I despise how preachy this is for the record, the lies i hear about this stuff brings it out of me.
