I will humble myself and take the same health care plan the congress gets.

Gun laws are being hid in the health care reform bill. What is up with this?

We have the right as citizens to read everything first.

September 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMike Thompson

SOMEONE IS FORGETTING THAT WE AS CITIZENS DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO QUESTION OUR LAWMAKERS AS WE ONCE DID. IT SEEMS THAT SCHEMING AND DECEIT ARE MAJOR REQUIREMENTS TO BE IN OFFICE. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF WE GET TO READ IT OR NOT, THE POWERS THAT BE WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT. WE HAVE NO CONTROL. THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE DOESN'T APPLY THIS DAY AND TIME. ALL THE ELEC TED OFFICIALS HAVE OR SOON DO AFTER GETTING OFFICE WHEO THEY ACTUALLY WORK FOR. THEY ARE ABOVE ALL THAT IS JUST AND FAIR. I TOO WILL SUCCUMB TO THE HEALTH CARE PLAN THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE. BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW, IF A NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN DOES BECOME A REALITY, THAT THOSE WHO THOUGHT, WROTE AND PUT IN PRINT THIS NEW PLAN WILL BE EXEMPT FROM WHAT THEY WANT FOR YOU AND I. ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE ABOVE WHAT IS GOOD FOR ALL THE FOLKS THEY WORK FOR. ALSO, LETS PUT THEM ON SOCIAL SECURITY. IF THEY HAD TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PLAN YOU BETTER DAM WELL BELEIVE THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED VERY FAST. I BELIEVE OUT OF OFFICE AND IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE SAME AS YOU AND I.

What ever happened to We The People and OUR VOTE(s)??

What ever is constructed for US, shall be placed onto a referendum in Nov/2010 after all physicians interested has had their chance on Capitol Hill to inform these Attornies(congress) How to do it a little at a time.

EX: You get a physical and something is discovered, so then blood tests are conducted, then more tests and more tests prior to any "operation."

Congress needs a physical and whomever practices in S Fran or DC, needs to commit Pelosi to a mental institution for a thorough EVALUATION! This would only take up 5 minutes of your time to do so.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

To the obama supporter that said we are a bunch of haters. " SCREW YOU AND MICHAEL MOORE TOO". It's people like you and that hollywood bunch that are trying to socialize this country. If hating socialism & communism is being a hater, then I'm a hater.

OBAMA SUPPORTER, I CONGRATULATE YOU ON READING THE OTHER SIDES OPINIONS. MOST OBAMA SUPPORTERS I TALK TO CANNOT VERBALIZE REASONS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF HIM. THEY EITHER HATED BUSH OR LIKED OBAMAS COLOR. ANOTHER MAN OF COLOR, THOMAS SOWELL, HAS A WORTHWHILE READ YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE CALLED 'THAT'S THE WAY THEY ALL BECAME THE BRADY BUNCH.' KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND KEEP ON READING EVERYTHING YOU CAN WHILE BEING AS SKEPTICAL AS POSSIBLE.

I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration that you’re.... not patriotic......

A TYPICAL SOUTHERN WHITE, UNCLE TOM SELLOUT, TRAILER TRASH, SWASTIKA CARRYING, HILLBILLY, BIGOTED, ROBEWEARING, GUN TOTING, IGNORANT RACIST!

We should stand up and say, “We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!”

Scarey stuff that this White House is doing. I have e-mailed the White House at president@whitehouse.gov and http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/ I have also called the White House at 202-456-1111. Everyone needs to get involved before this president destroys our country.

October 16, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBarry

One good approach in 2010 - vote out the incumbents. Re Social Security and no cost of living increase next year - if government money (ours) is so strapped then why don't our illustrious Senators and Reps indefinitely suspend their automatic pay raises, scrap their golden pension plans and health plans and subject themselves to that which they foist on the rest of us. Indeed! some pigs are more equal than others on Animal Farm. I am a physician who just quit; after seeing what is coming, I will no longer work night and day while making less and less with higher and higher overhead.

October 18, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkhenry

I have read the comments by angry people and agree with all of the wrong this administration is doing and I am afraid this Administration will destroy my country but talk isn't enough and I for one don't know what other action I can take I am mad as hell and I've written m,y local congress people and gone to rallies whenever possible but what else can I do??

October 18, 2009 | Unregistered Commentersusan

president obama and his staff are breaking the law, and violating the rights of the people of this country.they are invading our privacy and doing underhanded dealings under the table to get what they want,and not what the tax paying citisens want. these are all of the things that they accused president bush of doing. they have a short memory,or a dont give a flip attitude.i hope they realise that power can switch in a short period of time.i hope the powers to be to quote an old lost veteran (the great white fathers in power) will come to their sincesses.

Obama and his czars, as well as Pelosi and Reid intend to ram the so-called health care bill down our throats. Whatever happened to majority consensus? How can the people we sent to do the business of our country actually cast a vote in favor of this 1990 page monstrosity? It is a given that health care needs adjustment, but it should be carefully thought out, addressing only those problems currently existing...fix what is wrong, not re-wiite the whole system, putting the government in complete control of our health.. Instead, we have the powers that be, behind closed (guarded) doors making decisions that will affect all of us, while declaring to us and the world, that our country's medical system does not work. We know it does, as attested to by many from other countries who come here for medical care. Enough already!. STOP now before it is too late. Washington, vote NO! on this scam.

November 2, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJanine P Barker

I have written, called, and joined with others for the 9/12 March on Washington. I felt empowered and a part of the democratic process. However I didn't feel that any of those activities had any effect on the healthcare debate. They didn't seem to be effective. I have received several letters each from my Senators, Congressman, and the White House that said the same old thing. Everyone is for healthcare reform but the we differ completely on what constitutes reform and what constitutes the complete takeover of healthcare by the government. The same government that runs Medicare, Medicaid, Amtrack, the post office, Social Security. Cash for Clunkers seemed to have spent $24,000 for each car. None of these entities are models of an efficient way to deliver services at a reasonable cost. I read the first healthcare bill but when I tried to read Nancy Pelosi's latest bill, it is almost impossible. What bill needs to be 1990 pages? There is so much extra in that bill that if it were limited to only healthcare insurance it would be so much cheaper. Yet, in that unbelievably long bill, tort reform or buying insurance policies over state lines isn't even mentioned. Why not? That would lower the cost and introduce more competition which will lower prices as insurance companies compete for your business.

THIS IS THE WORST ADMINISTRATION EVER, THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SOCIALISTS, THAT DO NOT BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH, THIS PRESIDENT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE, HE DIFFENTLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVING OVERSEAS, HERE THESE DEMOCARATIC CONGRESS USES DECEPTION PASSING BILLS LIKE THE HATE CRIMES BILL THAT TIED FUNDING THE MILITARY. PELOSI, RIED, OBAMA DEMANDING THAT THIS HEALTH CARE BE PASSED. THEY ACT LIKE A BUNCH OF THUGS.
IF THEY A SOCIALIST OR COMMUNIST COUNTRY THEY WHY DON'T THEY GO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THAT AND TAKE THEIR UNITED NATIIONS WITH THEM.

November 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDEAN HARRIS

We must encourage everyone we come contact with not to re-elect anyone in 2010. The career politician is not what our founding fathers had in mind when framing the " CONSTITUTION". I believe we would get congress back on our (WE PEOPLE) side by voting one term politicians!

November 8, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterED (PA)

Don't re-elect anyone in 2010!

November 8, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterED (PA)

Keep up the good fight against this Health Care Reform. Above all do not forget to vote in the next elections where you reside. It is imperative that "We the People" clean house as soon as possible--including ousting this President. We must also implement Term Limits. The longer the bums stay in office, the more difficult it will be to remove them from their lucrative seats. Have you noticed that the most corruption is attached to the long-term office holders? The people have spoken against this Health Care Bill in a loud voice. Congressmen aren't listening because they don't fear any ramifications from the voters. Let the voters show them just how wrong they are. We don't have to wait for the elections though. You can contract your Senators and Representatives today and every other day until they hear you loud and clear.

Don't stop with an attack on the AMA. AARP has lots of clout and they sold the Senior Citizens out by endorsing this Health Care Reform Bill too. My husband and I WERE AARP members.

It all goes back to the fact that we have a man in office that is not ilelligable (spelled wrong) to be president, and I don't see him as such, It's not about the color of his skin, It is truly about the fact that you must be a U.S. Citizen of this country to run for that office. He was born in Kenya, his grandmother was at his birth, she admits this herself, on tape, all the facts can be found on, www.newswatchmagazine.org, There isn't enough space here to write it all down, check out the site. I don't dislike who he is, I dislike what he does.

oSama Supporter, Athletic Supporter? What's the difference? We are being taken over from the inside. These people have openly admitted to believing in Marxism. They will & have stooped to every possible angle to obtain their goals. Government run health care is being pushed in the front of every other problem we now face for a reason, an ulterior motive. They know how to straighten out all of our problems, a Dictatorship. A conspiracy? I must be an idiot for believing this is possible? Their foot is not in the door, they are in the door. Closed door policies, threats & bribes. This is insane! If we as individuals file bankruptcy can we immediately obtain a loan to refinance our homes? The large corporations can get Billions! Throwing good money after bad until we are broke. We are under attack! The truth is not fantasy, it hurts. This Government will keep chipping away until they control everything, including Liberals & Conservatives alike. What will it take to make our people understand the importance and reality of our situation? I believe in our "Original Constitution." I believe in our people no matter what color or status in our society. It truly breaks my heart to see our people being fooled like this.

President Obamma is a Muslim, no matter how you cut it. Therefore, he is going to "protect" and "defend" anything which might go against Islamic interests in the USA first, and also other foreign countries. It's very simple to see if a person just takes the time to put the pieces of the puzzle together. He will use his "post modern" vocabulary of "verbal slickness" to make what he is doing look appealing to the general American public. It's clear to see he is rapidly attacking and removing America's basic foundations: i.e. free speech, Christian principles, liberty, etc. While forwarding emails to all of our friends is somewhat helpful, the target is never hit until Americans unload their concerns on the White House and the Congress and Senate. Obamma is NOT Presidential material!

The evolution of destructive forces threatening our country: began with small black powder bombs, progressed to larger, more sophisticated plastic explosives, to the Atom Bomb, then the Hydrogen bomb, and now........... the O Bomb!!

Our current urgency is to disarm the O Bomb before it detonates. We all have different ideas and opportunities, but we must ALL do ALL we can while there's still time.

November 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDave Kulp

We conservatives must keep the pressure on our Congressmen. Getting re-elected is all that matters to them.

November 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLRashleigh

There is no Constitutional authority for the federal government to regulate healthcare, including the provision of adding a tax payer subsidized public option.

If people want a tax payer subsidized public option, then talk to your state legislatures and governor of you state.
