I am veteran that was laid off by Indian H1-bs. I know several veterans that are also unemployed because of cheap foreign labor and outsourcing.

The working men and women of this country/world are getting really tired of being played with like pawns. Fighting the wars and digging the ditches is okay if there is some chance of getting a fair slice of the pie or at least some security in terms of health care and a quality education for our children and grand children. Please stand for the working people Ms. Giffords. God Bless

Hi Sue, We live in a republic (and for the republic for which it stands) not a true democracy. That may explain our frustrations at times. I know it does mine. But you are correct to express your feelings and beliefs. We not only need to state them, but we must to keep the Good ol USA the Good ol USA. I would, as I imagine everyone would, like a ...

Thanks for keeping Afghanistan on your mind. It's hard to juggle everything from constituents, to health care, immigration, the economy, re-election.

It means a lot that you still find time to get to Afghanistan and see the progress and opportunities there for our mission in Afghanistan.

Well Jon, you raise multiple issues. 1) There is some question about this 12% figure since part of what what insurance companies are paid goes to pay taxes and those which have researched the issue have reached the conclusion that Medicare does not properly account for all of the costs -- the hidden costs in government not properly assigned to ... Read MoreMedicare. 2) BHO has stated quite clearly that those that like their current health care plan can keep it. Was that a lie? 3) Regarding purchasing supplemental health insurance there are various things to consider. Part A has both per benifit period (per year or per illness) as well as a life time benefit cap and there is no cap on out-of-pocket costs with Part B. If you are on Medicare, it is illegal to purchase conventional catastrophic health insurance. There is some question if I would be able to afford a Medigap policy and if I would receive assistance to purchase it if I couldn't. 4) The answer is not profit.

Thank you for support of a public option. However, it seems there are MANY definitions of what that means. I'd like you to support what is being called Medicare +5.

And a senior who loves Silver Sneakers and can't afford it without gov help, I'd sure like it added to Medicare if insurance advantage plans (which now carry the program) are eliminated.
