How is it the majority of U.S.Citizens . Don't want this bill, and yet this adminastration is trying every dirty trick to pass it. I always thought it was against the law to offer or take bribes,deals.If this healthcare reform is so good.Why are they exempt from it?

We really have to be deep in prayer. We really have to show up and vote, too. We gotta get these guys out....

This legislation makes me laugh, and as a hard working American, it's clear to see that a whopping majority of Americans don't want this bill. America is built on a choice, and right now it's pretty apparent that folks want that right, that privilege, and liberty on which this country was founded upon. This is a "quick fix", and last time I checked, speed kills, especially in this instance. Socialism here we come, if it comes. I truly pray that it doesn't, I really do. Competition harnesses success, it has ever since we've brought this country into fruition. Large conglomerate companies, and corporations will be hit with this big time, as well as doctors. Physicians, and doctors across a wide spectrum will be paying a butt load just to stay in business, or better yet out of business. Guess who it eventually effects in the long run? The tax payer, YOU! EVERYONE! The wise choice is to slowly develop a reform that we ALL can agree with, not in one full swoop! Being the son of a physician, I directly see the hurt that it will place on the American citizen. I can "guarantee" you, that if this bill does pull through, millions of Americans will either immediately or inadvertently feel the financial hurt, along with the rest of the healthcare industry. If we want this country to become Canada or France, let's keep it up! On second thought, let's not keep it up, drop the bill and start with a wise frame of mind. The American people aren't stupid, they are well informed, and to have someone else make that choice for you is ridiculous and quite frankly insults me and many, many of my friends, and colleagues.

IT IS TIME FOR US TO STAND UP AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY AND FREEDOM BACK!

We need healthcare reform, but the way this administration is going about it is ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Our President should be ashamed of himself and his cronies for trying to shove this down our throats! Our founding fathers must be turning over and over in their graves. Why on earth would Americans want more government and have less say in their life choices?

health care reform or turn to socialism

nick angelico of PA 6:56PM March 19, 2010

We need health care reform, but not the kind that our current government is trying to get passed this week. It doesn't make any since to me what they are trying to do and I had no idea that the senator's, etc. were so currupt that there votes could be bought for a song and a dance. Our contry wasn't founded on these principles. Our four fathers are turning over in there graves as I speek. I hope that these people wake up and spell the roses and see what the government is really trying to do. They want to turn our country into a socialist country. This is were the government tells you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it, etc. If you claim to be a christian, please get on your knees and pray to God, that this health care doesn't pass because it will be the end of Americia as we know it.

1. Around the world government controlled healthcare is terrible! Why should a bad idea work with our government?

2. We are losing free enterprise and our civil rights at a rapid pace. I do NOT want the government to say if I get to live or die!!!

3. Guess who is going to pay for this? Our current entitlement programs are already bankrupting parts of our country (eg: California)

Try loading us up with the cost of healthcare. It will be the financial straw that bankrupts the whole system.

4. The terrorists are getting smart. They were not able to beat us militarily, so they just figure ways to rot us out from the inside. This is one of them.

Why dont they come up with a plan that requires insurance companies to

have a separate program for the people who do not have health care.

they can put them in a pool and save money that way it will be

by choice and everyone can keep their current insurance.

When I worked contract I had to get my own insurance.

Sure it was an expense but I did it and I was by no

means rich. You just have to budget for it.

Wake up America and Say NO to the Govt running

our lives... this is so CRAZY !!!!

okay here is another idea ... what ever

the Govt comes up with as health care for our

country they have to be included in the same program!

Including Congress President...everyone!!!

That would insure they were doing the right thing for

our country right???

I WOULD VOTE FOR THAT !!!!

Wake up!! Pelosi and Reid are running the show. Every policy has been engineered by them. Obama is purely a figurehead. Look at Pelosi's own state, bankrupt becuase they paid for illegal aliens med bills, food and everthing else and did not collect taxes from them. Look at there own state policies and it is there Federal policies. The vast public who wants this healthcare reform are on government welfare, unemployment. Looking for another handout! Obama paid for his votes by claiming a refund back. Why would people not vote for him if they thought they were getting a ck for it. Is that illegal? Buying votes!
