Congressman Mike Arcuri talk Cap and Trade and healthcare reform

[carolynmerkle1964]

One more comment, I can only judge a situation by history.  I am 63 years old and seen a lot of history. Vietnam which drafted the poorer men, wealthy men bought them selves out in one form or the other. Medical term CA = cancer. Individuals created this country and we are the ones to make it and keep it strong. If you read our county fathers believed in individuals freedom, which the Obama care takes away. Dr. are paying more each year in administrative cost & this law will cost more.

[carolynmerkle1964]

Is this all you do?  Well I have a busy schedule and your not going to change my mind. So do not waste your time with me. Good luck the decisions you make today are the decisions you have to live with for the balance of your life.

[carolynmerkle1964]

If you want to give up your freedoms of being a individual in the US that is fine. Canada will accept if you do not have a DWI. I want to have less federal government. The NASA program is the only thing Fed gov't has done well & they are canceling that. I want less government in our lives. Have you read "1984" we are getting there. This law attacks every aspect of our lives & future generations. Obama people are not as loud , proud as during the election. I wonder why.

[carolynmerkle1964]

Evidently your also for abortion, which as a female I am totally against. Woman have been sold a bill of goods on this issue. Texas has passed a law if you want a abortion your required to get a ultrasound to see what your aborting. Government has lied to US Citizens time and time again. Experience example in 1976 Mothers were told to put children in flame retardant clothes, later we found that the chemicals caused cancer in out children. I followed my instincts, did not put my child. No CA

This will be my last response as I see a pattern of irrational spewing. I am personally against abortion FYI. I don't know what CA is. As an example of a government lie you use a (nearly) 40 year old example? You continue to speak in plattitudes and generalities exaggerating unsubstantiated ambiguities to make your point.

My original intent was to encourage Arcuri to stand for his constituency as a leader, not to hide behind them as a vote-hungry flip-flopper.

[carolynmerkle1964]

Your right "funny how things change when your elected". Obama clearly stated "no pork" in his laws. Well we still have pork in our news laws.

It is clear the majority of US Citizens want change in the health care system, but this is radical surgery. When the government can not control the system they have now. They allow fraud in the system, like I said government does not control money well. There is to much deal making with different organizations as AARP to get this done.

[cpkoste]

Again, using "pat" negatives like "pork", "fraud". "deal-making", etc makes me believe that ,like many of the critics, your arguments are nothing more than regurgitated sound-bytes from fox news sorely lacking in substance.

What "pork" and who introduced it?

What "deals" with the AARP?

What "fraud" (you have a point on this one) but please substantiate.

What the American people deserve are the facts with specific plans to remedy the systemic problems facing healthcare.

[carolynmerkle1964]

Vote "NO"

for new healthcare law

Vote "NO"

Cap and trade

This is to expensive for US citizens

[cpkoste]

The democratic party has been very dissapointing to me with the disunity and lack of public support for preident Obama. I have a number of military family and friends in your district who feel the same way I do. We will organize against you and your party if you all do not begin grater support of the president and his healthcare reform. I ask that the democrats stop destroying thier own party by acting like republicans.

[carolynmerkle1964]

I too have family members military. My father and husband were civil servants, I have experienced how in efficient the government is. I have worked in health insurance, billing of doctors and hospitals. The government laws are strangling them. If this law is so good why arent the Congressman willing to use the same insurance all other US Citizens. When Congress agrees to use this health plan. Then I will agree it must be good, Congress takes care of its self 1st.

[carolynmerkle1964]

Sorry your so afraid of me and my party you need to stoop to threats.

[cpkoste]

No threats. That kind of propaganda I will leave to fox news.Judging by the pedestrian level of rebuttal you have exercised here, more than qualifying you as a potential staff writer for fox,I would encourage you to respond more substantially in defense of your party. Arcuri had no problem using Obama in his platform to get elected. Funny how things change once elected.

[cpkoste]

And the savings from doing nothing will amount to????

No regulation of insurance companies will result in how much savings for Americans???

Half of all current bankruptcies occur from inadequate healthcare insurance. Your alternative proposal would be????

Insurance companies like b/cross raising premiums by 40% without accountability as we speak is a better alternative????

Please let me know how you define "too expensive" and how YOUR plan insures long term viability.
