The truth is that the conservative republican leadership and the large banks and corporations are waging war against the middle and lower classes. It started with Bush/Cheney and now we have Barton/Boehner. Please wake up and stop voting in the republicans. They do not care about you; they only care about wealthy Americans, the large corporations, and getting more powerful themselves. Please vote with your mind this coming November.

Lying is so second nature to 0bama and his cronies it's about time that someone works to expose this charlatan for what he is.

How hot is that anchor? I give her ten out of ten :P Even though she does have a little bit of a high pitched voice.

The 3 to 7 million comes after u deduct those capable of affording insurance but choose not to buy, those who are currently inbetween jobs (temporarily un-insured), & those illegally in this country who should return to their country for the common cold/ non emergency. Furthermore, the 30 to 40 number used was 55 when this began.

Should they allow u to sign up with the agreement that ur pre-existing cond won't b covered? If yes, remember, that is not what they r trying to do w/ these bills.

I don't know where you get this "3 to 7 million" number from. The only figure I have EVER heard has been between 30 and 40 million.

And unlike car insurance, most health care plans won't even allow you to sign up at all if you have a serious pre-existing condition, which means that any future ailments you might have won't be covered.

The sickest people in America are getting put out into the streets, with no recourse available to them.

Hillern,

If the legislation is so scary-good why will the unions be exempt? Why is Congress exempt? My health care isn't broken so why am I not exempt? Why do they want laws that will increase my premiums? Maybe it's to eventually force me to their system. They might allow an opt out of the system, but not the tax increases. It may sound cruel but does your car insurance let u fix pre-existing damage when you sign up? Health insurance is not a right if it requires someone else to be fulfilled.
