Are you kidding me? People read the Rasmussen polls. A clear majority of people in America are Happy with their Health Care and are not willing to pay for Health Care reform. Those that vote for this sham will pay for it in 2010.
“Lets step up for the American people!!!” best sentance ever spoken.

I’d love to see that myself, but I think someone in a relevant committee pulled a Pelosi and said that single payer was “off the table”.
I’m a Republican and I support the public option. Anything is better than paying these high cost. They are financially breaking many families.
any idea where I can locae the list of “problem” states on this issue?
Forget the “public option” competing with private health insurance. Let’s just eliminate private health insurance altogether and establish Single Payer instead.
Congressman! They are the worst, say one thing do another.
the dems are going to raise our taxes by taxing the health benefits that were once tax defered. making health care even more expensive.
I hereby blaspheme the name of the Market. Hail Dawkins!
people want reform, but the details of that reform are a different animal. the public option will only positively affect the american people. anyone who disagrees with it are either ill-informed, biased because of financial reasons, or stupid. the details are a different animal, which is what everyone needs to focus on, and not the misguided or biased opinion that a public OPTION is bad.
WTF? Every time she got pressed about how everyone else was going to vote, she started waffling.
as an economics student, I tell you it isn’t economics, it’s fake-onomics.
of course…he’s the minimum wage bureaucrat.
if goverment gets involved in healthcare it will make it cheaper.goverment does not need to pay over priced ceos and board of directors nor make a profit for stockholders. that right there is going to lower some costs because you know the insurance companies are over charging for services because they have to make profit.i also love the republicans all going around saying you don’t want a goverment bureaucrat between you and your doctor, yeah the insurance company bureaucrat is just fine right?
According to the Holy Writ (Capitalism and Freedom) of St. Milton Friedman economics is the Spirit of God. Thou shalt not have any other gods, such as science, before the One True Market God. Beware the false scribe scientists who scare thee about Global Warming and who scrutinize the Lord’s Creation (any private institution). The fool saith there is no Perfect Market God. Resist those who whisper into thy ear to persuadeth thee to join a union in rebellion against God’s Elect (CEOs).
Well, it’s hard to tell these days.
You fundementalist Presby-Marketarians drive me mad. Stop trying to push economics into the science room!
I don’t expect to see true reform. I wish I had the faith, but I can’t see it.
The health-care corporations do not want to compete, because they know they can’t!!
Made me laugh, thank you.
You Devil-worshiping communists should shut up. The Market God (The LORD) hath spoken. Do not question the Invisible Hand (the LOOOOORD) or His scribes (economists) and His prophets (pundits). For it is written in His Holy Word (The Road To Serfdom) that thou shalt not question the Market thy God or eat of the Tree of Public Services Socialism. If anyone does not love the LORD, the inerrant Marketplace, let him be accused of Communism. Amen.
*I was being facetious if you couldn’t tell*
See how i am?
you Do realize I’m not disagreeing with you?
Just a silly comment.
The cash cows left the barn door open again. The mare is in your Victory Garden–hows that for mixing metaphors?
…which is often the megachurches who now offer limited health care in some cases, and who make the case for the corporations that “God will provide (so don’t take it out of my taxes).”
It has been perverted into such by corporations. Ideally, lobbyists can be in the public interest, specialists’ representatives who can explain the value of certain environmental/educational/public investment to legislators who specialize in law-making but don’t know all the details.
