[poindexterwitkowsky]

~~^Senator Mark Kirk (R) is actively seeking that Poland be included in the list of nations that participate in the Visa Waiver program..Kirk argues that this will be a boon on Chicago's tourist economy since Chicago is home to the largest concentration of_ Pole_is outside of Poland..... Chicago is also home to the largest concentration of Poles who came here on tourist visas& never returned to Poland. ____THE_ REPUBLICAN_ MESSAGE:: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS OK AS LONG IT HELPS YOU GET RE-ELECTED.

Rachel Maddow got it quite right about this health care issue. Repealing this health care law will only help the insurance companies ... for which they care about profits and nobody else. A Brilliant 6!!

I am a 25 year old Union member in Chicago and I was so proud to vote for Mr Kirk. He won by the way so screw you Union and screw you Dems...your time in Chicago is OVER....hell even your Gov only sneeked by....for now.

[runningwater1]

repeal not just the health care bill but medicare and medicaid and social security and pull all the troops out of every country we currently occupy. and eliminate the income tax. yah

[JazzMaster606]

Yes that sounds wonderful! Lets all pay more money in taxes to form a giant pool of healthcare that everyone gets an equal share out of!

Wait.....High taxes......equal share.......woah hang on, this is sounding like socialism.....

[salvor1]

Yes Racheal, before I loose my heathcare because of having to pay for all those who can't afford it -I'll vote out the bums that supported that bill. I'm really sorry but I have to look out for MY kids first.

[4149stonepony]

our national debt didnt matter when reagan and bush ballooned the national debt. When democrats are in offfice it matters, okay.

[salvor1]

@4149stonepony Reagan raised it $1.6T in 8 years and beat the communists. Bush raised it $5T in 8 years and beat up a few nasty boys in the process. Obama has raised it $3T in two years and all that got beat up was me. I don't know about you but my heathcare just took a quantum leap and I may drop it now. I have kids. WTF

[anime1973]

@4149stonepony believe me.. reagon only ballooned the debt to retool the military that carter had let decay. and bush, we've been pissed off at bush for a while. We were never happy with his spending. We swallowed it in the name killing terrorists. Dead terrorists was kind of like the sugar that helps the shit sandwich go down.

[masanf]

Maybe Maddow can call out Giannoulias about why he didn't pay his taxes and how he managed to secure $30 million for his mismanaged bank, only to have it go under. Yeah, I won't be holding my breath.

Please everyone stop listening to the propaganda of the news media outlets and start doing your own independent research. For starters look up "Ron Paul Healthcare Reform" on youtube. This man is a Physician and actually understands the system. Obama is a Lawyer. We've been letting lawyers run our country for way too long and they are destroying it. Look up "Obama Deception" while you're at it. It should be labeled Government Deception.

Just you watch, you smug twit of a girl; just watch over the next few months and years as ...

- portions of this get amended and/or reversed as reality sets in,

- as unintended consequences are revealed,

- as political party powers change

- as our national debt balloons

[spevman]

The medicare costs to the states alone will bankrupt many of them and don't get me started on the insurance mandates and how many business will probably opt to not offer any insurance since the $2,000 fine per employee is far cheaper than the insured cost per employee.

I'd like to ask Mr. Kirk whose diabetic child should be denied medical coverage. Kirk also knows the math--you need 2/3 to overturn a veto--this is so disingenuous. why can't he spend time doing something that will actually help the people of Illinois rather than doing pretend stuff to help his career.

doodle The very people you support created this mess you are now willing to hand over our liberties to. There is noway you can tell me that the Government with all its regulating power couldn't have put an end to all these atrocities. They targeted the regulations at the people which perpetuated this climate of greed by making it illegal for people to get HC Ins. from other com. They eliminated the true leveler,Competition. Who would stay with a company that deny claims someone with no choice

[chissiez1]

@TheIAchilles

Perhaps you have forgotten that competition only works where you have firms competing. These insurance corps now have strategies that milk the market - the provisions of the bill strengthen the competition principle.

@doodlemom2 you do know that there are already medical programs for children... most of them are not being utilized by the fucktard parents who should know about them like the CHIP program. This healthcare reform wasn't a jab at the healthcare companies.. it was the most pro-health insurance company bill on the planet. It add 46 million new customers that they didn't otherwise have.
