I had a nightmare last night.
One after another people were yelling
"People are dying
People are dying
Don't you get it? PEOPLE ARE DYING"

I felt the anger as people watched their loved ones die from something that others would get treatment for.
RAMPANT INJUSTICE

We should have daily reports of those who die because they have no access to medical treatments-- just like we name soldiers who die in these insane wars.

DON'T YOU GET IT?
PEOPLE ARE DYING
non-starter --like hell

americans should try electing people who actually grew up in the states and lived in your own neighborhoods.

She wants to lower regulatory standards on insurance companies in order to lower cost? How can she even propose that with a straight face? Americans need to understand what the GOP is offering as health care reform even though they try to explain it the most monotone way possible in order to bore most people to tears.

She will establish the next barrier, just past whatever Olympia Snowe agrees to. Then they'll agree to that to get Collins' vote. Once she's in, George Voinovich will start making noises about what he wants. It's the GOP dance to destroy the bill.

Don't listen to this woman -- she destroyed state aid to the stimulus bill, so we have 50 little hoovers ruining state budgets everywhere.

Well I checked her alternative proposals.
And it's the same crap as usual.

1. Tax cuts (When is it ever not tax cuts?)
2. Micro CoOpts with no leverage
3. Capping the size of lawsuits against insurance companies (Which has been shown to do nothing to reduce costs)

4. Changing the way Medicare does payments (Which, while a good idea, has nothing to do with private insurance)

In short, she effectively proposes doing nothing of consequence.
