AMERICANS VOTED FOR CHANGE AND MADE RETHUGS IRRELEVENT.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SOME OF THESE DEMS ANYWAY.

MORE HOUSE CLEANING IS APPARENTLY REQUIRED.

My state has a Republican Senator up for re-election in 2010. No matter what happens with this bill, I know for a fact that he will not be voting for any type of public option.

I intend to go to his question and answer sessions on the campaign trail and ask him point blank, since he is so willing to blatantly ignore the wishes of his constituents, why he should be allowed to keep his job? I’m curious as to what someone’s justification could be for not firing someone who intentionally didn’t do the job they were hired to do.

I encourage everyone else to do the same. We don’t need Congresspeople who think they know what’s best for us no matter what we the people want. We need Congresspeople who will do what we the people tell them to do, because that’s their effin job. We are their bosses, not the other way around, and certainly not the industries that come packed with money but not votes. It appears as though they need to be reminded of that.

Truer words were never spoken. Florida Hospital is suppose to be non-profit, run by the Seventh-Day Adventists. Yet their CEO rakes in 3$mil/year.And they now have a policy of asking for a deposit before they give you a room. Like I told the nurse, it’s not helping the imaga of the church they claim to be.
There is no such thing as non-profit in the medical racket.

If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a million times — don’t wave a dull sword.

Why I expect a different result, I’ll never know…

I’m so sorry to hear of the death of your father, Marie. ((hugs))

I know a woman in that “pay 100% of drug costs after $2500, until you reach $5000″ trap. She’s an insulin dependent diabetic who’s on disability, and now she’s supposed to pay 100% of her meds. She expects to land in the hospital soon. It’s horrifying.

What will the insurance industry do when they can’t charge $50. for an aspirin?

We need health plans that don’t include insurance companies but are instead designed to help the patient and keep costs down.

The GOP’s need to feed corporate greed has nothing to do with
free enterprise and gives capitalism a bad name.

Donations from their lobbys and their pseudo-social minded PAC’s are nothing more than bribery. Their shameless obstruction of democracy has grown into a weed corrupting the very roots of our system of government. Sure, they should have their say, but their money should stay off the table.

Campaign and lobbyist reform was on the Democrats short list of things to fix. What happened?

As long as our representatives are obligated to the corporations that fund their campaigns, everything they do is compromised.

If your senator is up for re election in 2010 use that for leverage.

Senators need to know WE are all watching their vote and there is not enough media distractions such as missing white women, dead celebrity’s to block it out.

In OR. Sen. Merkley is on board and will vote the right way. But Sen. Wyden needs much work and is up for re election in ‘10.

You don’t mind looking stupid.

You do the job well!

Is this for real? Is it part of the tap dance?

called the Sorry, but it is really not going to pass dance:

Flap ball change, flap ball change… all those to show the public they are pretending to be interested in a public plan… shuffle hop step to the front and do can cans.

flap ball change, flap ball change… all those intending to vote special interest back and center.. high fives, buffalo hop step

flap ball change, flap ball change all those intending to truly vote for the public health plan and if you are up for re election soon, front and center, remember: just enough votes to make it look good but not enough to pass – front line, smile pretty, can can, cart wheels, until special interests voters exit stage.

Here’s one of the biggest safeguards that must be included in the public option, and one that I suspect the lobbyist are using to “deal” – The overhaul must include a provision that prevents the private insurers from dumping the sick and disabled into the public plan!

I work within the industry and trust me, they are already making plans to do exactly that. And what will happen is that the public plan will wind up with far higher “per member” costs than the private plans, which will be used by the GNOP down the line as proof that public healthcare costs more than the “free market”.

I worked in the insurance industry and the states mandate high risk pools to assign to individual insurance companies thereby forcing them to absorb some of the risk. A high risk pool exists for almost any type of insurance.
