if you dont' agree with what he is doing you need to contact your legislators and tell them outright if they vote for this.. we will vote them out.. its a simple solution.. look what happened in mass.. people voted against a person (martha coakley ) who would have voted for it.. if this goes thru its going to bankrupt our country.. if he wants to lower the price of healthcare, first go after tort reform.. if you lower the payouts in malpractice cases you will lower the cost of malpractice insurance , which in turn will lower the rates doctors and hospitals will have to charge to cover their insurance premiums..

many people are tired of waiting in emergency rooms behind illegals who use the er as their doctors office.. thats not going to change unless they work on immigration reform.. or start enforcing the already existing immigration laws..
but thats another can of worms for another thread..

I heard somewhere that piping plover is indian for "tastes like chicken" ..

I can't for the life of me deny anyone medical services as needed. ANYONE. Healthcare in this country as it is, is a travesty. Sure we have the most sophisticated technology in the world, but for a price and for only those who can afford it. We are inches away from having an Indian style class system. And those who don't have are the "untouchables". Health care has become a chain that keeps you in a job as well. Looking to better yourself (read this as keeping you in your "class") is made difficult by healthcare. Everyone deserves their good health and a means to maintain it. I'm just not selfish enough to let someone suffer and die for lack of healthcare.

I had to take my mom to the hospital the other day for a procedure and on the way in and out of the entrance we had to literally step over dozens of bodies of all of the people who had apparently been denied healthcare and suffered and died......it was gross...and there were all of these rich people with IV's and casts and stitches pointing and laughing....

I'm going to call Patrick Kennedy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jim Langevin and Jack Reed and tell them that the need to oppose this healthcare plan.........never mind...

You've yet to master basic sarcasm. The people I speak of don't even make it to the E-room. They die on the streets of this country, insane, inebriated, poverty stricken, totally disadvantaged.Or they die from basic health care from day one. Pick one, all, or more. Take a little stroll on the rough side of town to see how your fellow man lives.

ahh, the liberal heart, a beautiful thing. Im not selfish enough to have my kids without a good education, so I work my arse off to save for it, Im not selfsih enough to have my kids without healthcare, so I work my arse off for it. Every night as I sit reading with my kids while a bunch of jack offs are out drinking beers at the bar and their kids are playing nintendo, the kids grow up to be bozos like their parents and Im supposed to pay for it? Working my arse off helps the country, drives growth, drives consumer spending, drives tax revenue, drives debt reducuton, etc. All good things. Government hand outs only drive the need for more government hand outs. WElfare is a failure.
Lets reform the HC system, this bill expands the system. How is that a good thing?
