Why Public Option is dead: cost and ethics issues! Blacks think that they're going to be cured of AIDS or diabetes, but aborted stem cells cause tumors/genetic rejection. This is a eugenics program against blacks! Only stem cells grown from the injectee's own body in test tubes have proven not to cause cancer, so medical/insurance companies supporting Public Option turn blacks into cash cows for supposed health care!

I support the Constitution: I don't believe that the gov.t should tell us how many kids we should have like in China, shouldn't control what I put in my body or do with my body, and if they start funding abortions publicly, they'll try and legislate sex, along with whether or not I live or die. Medicare is for seniors, I think you meant Medicaid. I don't need the government being my insurance agent, or the only insurance agent and governing body overseeing health care at the same time.

To neverfearbecausechrisishere:

I haven't had health insurance for 6 years, I'm Native American, so I use a lot of natural and nutritional means to care for my body, so Public Option without revision is a terrible thing that shouldn't be called anything remotely close to health care!

cut medicare? not really, more replace it with a more sensible solution to the problem of ppl without healthcare - other than chucking them out on the street if they need anything more expensive than a plastercast which is pretty much the current situation.

Can you honestly say that you know NOONE who doesn't have health insurance??? seriously I love the way that the people who are going to benefit protest against it - great to see succesful propaganda at work.

erm... ear marks being spent now would of been assigned before he came to office....

Don't just go to Illinois. The nonpartisan group Taxpayers for Common Sense has the statistics on its website that pretty much prove that rural red state conservatives have requested most of the earmarks. Of the top 20 only six blue states are represented.

"Hey Dubya, how many earmarks are in Obama's spending package?" "OVER 9000!!!"
