“I think there are a lot of good things the bill will bring; however, I think there are some bugs which Congress should have worked out before the bill was passed. I guess with my medical history, as a cancer survivor, I fear the unknown. I also am curious to see how the bill will stand, once President Obama goes out of office, because there are so many long-term plans within the bill.”
“While it’s a good start, it is horribly inadequate for the problems we have in this country.”
–Phillip Ziehlke, a freshman computer information technology major.

“I think it’s going to cost a lot of money, but at the end of the day it will probably be worth it because if somebody in your family gets sick or you get sick, you won’t have to worry because your taxes will have already paid for the treatment.”
–Demetrius Pressley, a sophomore biology major.

“Obama said, ‘You should not go broke because you get sick.’ I can see how the people that have the money feel it’s unfair because they’ve worked hard to be financially stable and they don’t feel that someone else should benefit off their hard labor; however, you want everybody to have health care.”
—Taira Lobban, a sophomore music education major.

“My problem with the health care reform is, for starters, I work and I think that health care is important and I pay the premium for my health care coverage. However, I don’t think I should have to pay an additional tax for people who don’t think it’s important, and I don’t think the government should penalize me if I don’t want to carry insurance on myself.”
—Danielle Crawford, a freshman business administration major.
