  • I am from South Carolina. As usual he takes a bit of of a bill and uses misinformation to expand on it. I'm tired of his ill informed arguments that take up valuable time on the floor. Hes bought and paid for by the insurance industry and the insurance industry service companies.

  • Obama has scheduled a major speech on healthcare for Wednesday night. The Republicans will get a chance to respond. I have written a few suggestions on how the Republicans should respond in an Open Letter to My Congressman. My Facebook page is roncram1. Please take a look and support these proposals to your own Republican Congressmen.

  • 3 days ago, I heard DeMint advocate his "alternate" plan where the government gives every family $5000 to buy their own health care...either through tax credits for those that pay tax or vouchers for those that don't.

    $5K times 70 million families times ten years is 3.5 trillion dollars. Or double what those "free spending" dems are proposing.

    On top of that..a family can't buy a decent policy for $5k so many would still go without insurance.

    What a great plan!

    DeMint ...you are a genius!

  • I live in SC and I thank God that he is my rep in the senate! He seems the only one in all of congress with any sense. He debates and always has a plan to back up his debates. There is someone out there looking out for the people and Mr Jim DeMint is the one. YES HE CAN!!

  • THANK YOU

  • Wake UP GOP: Nominate DeMint 2012: Could have had a chance in 2008: Rather than The Geezer and the Gal! Wake UP!

    He is the voice of Reason!

  • Btw will Senator DeMint be running for president 2012? This is the man I'd like to see as your next president and leader of the free world...

  • Ron Paul-Jim DeMint

  • I would like to think that a relatively minor reform such as this one would work, yet I think he is sadly mistaken.

    First:

    Average annual premium for an employer health plan covering a family of four: $12,700.

    Average annual premium for single coverage: $4,700.2

    Second:

    We have to stop the practice of doctors receiving bonuses for not referring someone to a specialist.

    Third:

    Although he mentioned it, Pre-existing conditions MUST be a priority.
