What could possibly go wrong?

I think that the whole idea of a national health care bill if awful. The government can not afford to spend more money that it does not have to fund a national health care bill and to fund abortions. Abortions are murder in my opinion. Let us vote the democrats out of office!

I've seen this statement on e-mail a couple of times... If it weren't so sad/true, it would be hillarious. Oh, the President is trying to stop smoking. And I hope he smokes outside the House, when he does, because smoking is illegal in government-owned establishments, and last I checked, the White House still belongs to us.

I think that sums it up. Oh and "trust us, we know whats best for you"

You gave me my laugh for the day here, Whiteheather. I laughed when I read the line about the pres "who smokes" but I almost fell off my chair when I got to the line about the "surgeon general who is obese". Seriously, I think we need healthcare reform and I've been trying to read what I can about the present system. Everything written about healthcare by the government or by private agencies is the most convoluted gibberish I've ever come across. The current hospital billing process is as secretive as a Cayman's bank account. I'm fairly certain we do not have enough competition in the market place to bring down premiums but the entire hospital discounting process is such a huge secret that I can't find data to support or disclaim whether that's true or not.....I empathize with the guy who doesn't understand it. I don''t either.

The really sad thing is, this sounds like "politics as usual". I do think though, that we are at the point in our history where we have the most unqualified, disqualified and seriously dangerous people in positions of power than ever before. The foxes are in the hen house.

It is the TARP bill all over again. LOL I have to laugh...if I dont' I might break down and cry.

It has already gone way too wrong. I need healthcare, but I do not want this healthcare. It was funny to hear Stupak tell Pelosi what was in the bill and which page. He has obviously read more of it than most people.

well ya know its not and I saw something that said it would pass this week. Lord am I signing polls and things against it. Seems to me they could really got back the way it was where DOctors was a Doctor of all things and if ya needed say a nero surgeon then ya get sent to one. Cut down on med cost DOnt cost thast much to make the pills any way .and go back to the meds that really worked on the problem with out all these side effects

So Obama smokes? I didn't know that. Interesting. I think he is due in Australia this month, with his family. The chairman of the committe doesn't understand his own health care plan? The Congress will pass something without reading it? The treasurey chief doesn't pay his taxes? It all sounds hopeless to me and very, very incompetent.

A lot of the health care issues could be solved by allowing the free market to take over, competition encouraged across state lines. That would bring down the price to affordable levels, I think. You're right, there is nothing good that will come out of this. Throw the bums out in the next few elections and let them know we demand to be fairly represented. I'm encouraged by people in both parties saying it's a bad bill. Remember, though, it's not about health care. It's about controlling the people and gaining leverage over them!

Absolutely not. We are being led by a bunch of negatives. End of story.

Despite what view I hold on politics in general, I still think our country is one completely idiotic. We always spout off the phrase do not do un to others that you would have done un to you, or something along those lines. Basically don't go spouting off advice you yourself can't fallow, but then why do we do it Its in my opinion that those that spout this stuff off are ashamed of the things they are doing, but don't have the courage to set a good example.
