Update: Arkansas Congressmen Get Cheers, Jeers At Health Care Forum

The forum was led by democratic congressmen Mike Ross and Vic Snyder. They say health care costs are growing at twice the rate of inflation and health insurance will reach a point in the next 10 years were employees and employers won't be able to afford it, they say doing nothing isn't an option.

Audience members accused them of supporting a government-backed health plan that would take away Americans' personal choice and freedom.

Vic Snyder says, "If we do nothing the number of uninsured will continue to climb and those of us who have insurance will find our premiums going up and up and up."

Snyder says this is the time to clear up rumors; emphasizing government doesn't want to stand between the patient and the doctor, rather stand behind the patient making sure they're covered.

He continues, "Here we are the richest and we had over 85-million people at least part of the time who have no health insurance. You know what that means, less likely to go seek treatment, more likely to get huge debt."

"I'm an American citizen and you guys are undermining Americans." Mike Massucco explains his stand against health care reform. He adds, "This one will be bankrupt and broke within years and we'll all pay for it."

Mike Ross explains, "I don't know how anyone can say they're for or against health care reform until we know what the bill is going to look like."

There are currently 5-bills and 0 legislative votes from now there will be just one that's when Ross says he will decide what he'll support.

Ross says, "It can not cover illegal immigrants, there can be no federal funding of abortions, no rationing of care and it's got to be the kind of plan the American people want. Those are some of the conditions I have."

Candis Collins with Health Care for America just hopes an agreement is made. She says, "I hear people screaming we have health care I want to keep what we have. There are a lot of people who don't have health care, people in my family, people in my church and we need a solution. I am scared to death that my husband will lose his job and we will be without coverage."

Congressman Vic Snyder says the health care issue involves three groups, the un-insured, under-insured and even the insured, but stresses a government plan will not be mandated on anyone.

President Obama had hoped to have a health care reform bill signed by August, but the final passage likely won't happen until September or October.
