    answer these three …
    answer these three question for me. 1. if it is so good why wait 4 years to implement it? 2. why are federal employess and members of congress and the major unions exempt from this bill? 3. what effect will it have on the states that are going bankrupt from federal unfunded mandates now? pretty simple to me if you have half a brain

    @masterscheme1 …
    @masterscheme1 Let’s get this straight, we’re passing a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves, to be signed by buttcrack obammie who is exempt, hasn’t read it and also smokes, has funding administered by a treasury chief who’s a tax cheat, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke.
    Why trust Ins. Co’s? What could possibly go wrong?

    All these fanatic conservatives care about is racism, guns, war and condemning people to hell. And they call themselves pro-life..please gimme a break!!!

    Hope the decent people of this country prevail and do the right thing for the stability of this country.

    These guys who are …
    These guys who are opposing health-care reform are driving the final nails into the coffin of this country. These buffoons cannot see the long-term benefits of having a healthy country. It’s quite simple if you have a clear mind not affected from doing cheap alcohol and drugs. A healthy country is a prosperous country..as they say, health is wealth.
    These morons who are opposed to reform are petty, political minded idiots who are only concerned about racism.

    REPUBLICAN DOESNT …
    REPUBLICAN DOESNT WANT ANY REFORM, Bush had both houses, and they could have reformed it the way Republican wanted. On October 26th 2002, as a direct consequence of Senator Paul Wellstone’s death, Bush has control of both Houses of Congress.

  12. noformstyle says:

    AMA and ANA ( …
    AMA and ANA (DOCTORS & NURSES) support the Bill.
    4Profit Insurance companies are against the Bill.

    Why would Doctors support a Bill that taxes them, > $200,000? They have seen enough abuse by the Insurance Companies against their patients: deny treatments, changing drug formulary, drop coverage, preexisting condition exclusion, & Medicare drug GAP for Senior. Dont ever get sick or in an accident, you will be bankrupted & screwed by Insurance.

    I will go with AMA on Health Care Reform.

  13. noformstyle says:

    MIDDLE CLASS …
    MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN HAVE INSURANCE, but outrageous premium, deny surgical, drug treatment based on arbitrary profit driven criteria is IMMORAL. Tumor 0.1 inch over limits no treatment for you. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS are still one accident, one serious illness, or one chronic disease away from declaring Bankruptcy. Only if you are lucky enough to receive treatments & live long enough to file one. System is broken and failed MIDDLE CLASS that is why there is an outcry for reform.

    WHY do our children …
    WHY do our children have NO FUTURE? 8 Years Bush took us from SURPLUS to doubling the DEBIT FOR NO REASON! FROM $5 TO 10 TRILLION!
    Ignore the economy+0 Regulation= GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTOWN
    Then his “party” LIES about the whole thing,blames the next guy, blames the band-aide for the car wreck,NEVER TAKES RESPONSIBLITY, THEN hires FRANK LUNTZ to KILL Financial Reform with MORE LIES (Permanent Bailouts – LIE),they DUPE people into voting IN the SAME policies that killed this country for 8 years!

  15. HopeForPeaceNow says:

    Do you ever get …
    Do you ever get tired of balming Obama for Bush’s wars and melted down economy?

    What makes you think you can f..k up an entire region…and then just leave? War is really NOT fixable.

    Read the Iraq NIE? KNow what it is?

    Ok, how will you vote come November? Ron Paul? Registered Republican who supports marijuana, gay marriage, 0 financial regulation and is anti-war????

    Or will they DUPE you into voting in the SAME POLICY that ruined this country, that we are now trying to FIX?? A or B!

    @masterscheme1 ” …
    @masterscheme1 “Republicans are mostly racist” ok, then can I say that hammers hate saws? Just thought that I point out your ignorance. No, I don’t support republican or democrat. Have a good day.

  17. Halo2100 says:

    @HopeForPeaceNow If …
    @HopeForPeaceNow If Democrates didn’t support the war then why did Obama send more troops? I didn’t care for Bush either. Any American with any sense knows that Democrats and Republicans have the same goal. They just go about it in a different order. This health care bill is nothing but a form of control. Wake up, see things for what they really are, not this Dem vs. Rep crap. Your thinking the way they want you to.

  18. masterscheme1 says:

    I know lets just …
    I know lets just say stuff and that will make it so. I used to like the idea of conservatism. But when you mix racism and religious extremism like you guys do… your no different than Al Queda. Obama is actually a moderate… when moderates are viewed as liberals. Where is the line that determines a moderate?

  19. cloudfire777 says:

    And you are …
    And you are retarded.
    Dont listen to this republitard people

  20. xxramblingsxx says:

    Washington is …
    Washington is insulated from the real problems ( the weak economy, lack of jobs, and the recession).

    Obama is a third world president. He’s anti-American, post-modern, atheistic, believes in totalitarianism, and his associates are crooks, liars, and fanatics. Obama came from nowhere, has no American values, has nothing to give or offer, and is going nowhere. He’s an ACORN organizer with ACORN’s Marxist beliefs.

  21. Unclesamslair says:

    man, you’d think it …
    man, you’d think it was the beginnings of another civil war with the governments of Idaho and Virginia suing the federal government. It’s like the two parties are so polarized that they’re both on different worlds.

  22. HopeForPeaceNow says:

    Whose fault is it …
    Whose fault is it we have to pass crisis legislation?
    REPUBLICANS. Period.
    They hired Frank Luntz to KILL THE BILL, BEFORE the bill was even written!
    “Government Takeover of Healthcare” is a lie, like all the other lies they use to kill legislation that WE need.
    8 YEARS Bush was TOO to confront healthcare.
    Instead he wasted 3 TRILLION invading the wrong country!
    Fox news has been demonizing Obama from day one.
    We all know it. Fox and Republicans are enemies of the American people.

  23. daderone says:

    @masterscheme1 oh …
    @masterscheme1 oh my G-d someone with a brain and a heart.

    If you love America and Boobies then you will support passing healthcare reform.

  24. masterscheme1 says:

    40,000 people die …
    40,000 people die every year because they don’t or can’t afford health care. Or they get kicked off or denied because of pre existing conditions. The insurance industry owns the republican politicians, and those politicians own you. They know there base is stupid and will swallow any fear or outrage they drum up. They even covered it in their meetings. And you still believe and follow them because your racist and stupid. I hope your insurance kicks you guys off for no reason at all.

  25. masterscheme1 says:

    Racists are evil. …
    Racists are evil. Republicans are mostly racist. Thats why they want to stop this mostly. All this nonsense about deficit and rights lost. When the patriot act, the prescription benifit bill, 2 unjust wars, the deregulation of wall street resulting in collapse, and cutting taxes for the rich all resulting in a 12 billion dollar deficit. Where were you racist idiot “Patriots” then. You are getting conned by the same people that butt you every time they get into office.
