HR 3400, a real Health reform bill, is stuck in committee by the democrats who do not want you to know about it. This bill would empower patients not government.
Specter is a tool. In most of the town-hall meetings, when someone comes up with a good question about something that's in the bill, he ignores them or tells them something that is completely contrary to what the bill says. Specter is a douchebag.
Maybe if Arlen Specter watched Fox News, visited the internet, or listened to that "evil monger" Rush Limbaugh he would know what's in the bill. Better yet, he could, you know, read the bill.
"A Rasmussen survey released Thursday morning showed Toomey topping Senator Arlen Specter by 12 points in a potential 2010 matchup, 48 percent to 36 percent. In the same poll, Toomey would beat Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) by 8 points, 43 percent to 35 percent".
The irony of the situation is that the republican that will compete against him next year is 10+ points ahead of him in the polls. Specter will be retiring in 2010.
Obama wants civil discussion on this debate, BUT HE WOULD HAVE VOTED IT IN A MONTH AGO HAD HE THE CHANCE. I thought the bill proposal had said you can keep your insurance, BUT YOUR EMPLOYER WOULD HAVE UP TO AN 8% TAX PENALTY PER EMPLOYEE-YEARLY INCOME for not taking the socialist-heatlhplan.
How can theses elected officials go around touting Obamacare when they don't even know what's in the bill? This is the a**hole that said, "we have to rush these things through." Fire this idiot now.
Government runs medicare pretty good and is on same level what Congress gets which is also government health care . Republicans have no right to complain when they supported the guise of liberating Iraq over the interests of the American people. Iraq was not a threat to USA and did not have WMD's.
"Republicans have no right to complain when they supported the guise of liberating Iraq"
Oh, I see.
So you got to complain about the Iraq war and support government health care, but they don't get to support the Iraq war and complain about government health care?
Honest to God, I cannot believe some of you people have a power over my life via your vote.
After injecting african americans with syphallus, irradiating servicemembers and their dependent wives, forcibily sterilizing blacks, puerto ricans, lakotah and poor whites.....do you really want these twisted bastards running a healthcare system?
I need to consult with my staff or at least the part of my staff that I told to read that section of the bill. I will get back but in the mean time p remember the actual bill is not overly specific in detail but mostly authorizes the establishment of boards, committees, oversight agencies such as those on minority healthcare issues etc. Whites don't need such a committee. After we pass the bill then those committees etc will come up with guidelines that govern you. Don't worry you can trust us.
This is so sad. People are asking questions about things that are in the bill and our Congressmen can't answer because they haven't read it. They're supposed to be representing us and they don't know what they're doing.
The Bill is in such flux,who knows what is in it. Besides Congress can plug any thing into it in the middle of the night. This a is about trust. We the people DO NOT trust Congress any more. They have lied, misspoke, and worst of all looted the taxpayers. Just look at Sen. Specter, perfect example.
They dont' want you to ask them what's in the bills. They don't know. They don't read them.
They don't want to you to ask what effect the bill will have on the country if it passes. They don't know what effect it will have because....uhm.....they haven't read it.
They don't want you to ask if they are going to put themselves under the bill. They're not going to.
It would be nice if someone - anyone in power- would read the bill in its entirety. At the very least, it would instill confidence in our leaders and the bills for which they support.
It wouldn't matter if they each read the bills, they wouldn't understand them. These bills aren't being written by our representatives but by entrenched staffers and "experts." The legislators aren't particularly smarter than you or better prepared to anguish over issues. It's just that they enjoy exercising authority over others and being fawned over.

Medicare costs are higher per patient than private. Gov't health care is provided by private insurance companies.
The Iraq war has no bearing on the health care debate. Rage less, educate more.
