What changes would you like to see from health care reform? “I’d like to see better health care for seniors. Both my parents are on Medicare and Medi-Cal, and it’s nothing like it used to be six years ago. It’s very hard for low-income seniors to pay for medicine now that it’s so much more expensive.” Tess Santos, Milpitas
“I don’t think it should be changed at all. My work currently pays for my insurance, and I think the government would probably screw it up and raise taxes.” Donald Myers, Mountain View
“I think members of Congress should decide as if they were going to be using the health care reform bill’s plan for themselves, instead of knowing that they’ll still be able to afford private health care. I think that if the bill passes, a lot of employers might stop providing insurance to their employees.” Paul Meese, Sarasota, Fla.
“I’d like to see insurance providers stop discriminating against patients with preexisting conditions, and I think doctors should be held more accountable for health care decisions than HMOs.”

“The health care system definitely needs to be changed, but I’m not sure that this current bill is the answer. I’m not principally against government-sponsored health care, but I’m not sure that the USA has the best track record about providing it.” Ben Margolis, San Bruno Have a question for Voices Around Town?
