We Must Pass Health Care Reform

This morning, Speaker Pelosi held her weekly press conference at the Capitol and answered a question on moving forward with health care reform:

We must pass health care reform. The problem is still there. The financial aspects of it, the cost to individuals, to their families, to small businesses, to big businesses, to all businesses, to our deficit, to our federal budget and to our economy are huge. We cannot sustain financially the current system; we, as I say, families, businesses or the federal government. So this has to take place.

The fact is also that, as long as people are discriminated against because they have a pre-existing condition or their policies are cancelled because they get sick or their procedure is denied on the way to the operating room with rescissions, as long as people go bankrupt if they have a diagnosis, we must pass this legislation. And we must take whatever time it takes to do it.

Some things we can do on the side which may not fit into a bigger plan. That doesn't mean that is a substitute for doing comprehensive. It means we will move on many fronts, any front we can. As I said to some friends yesterday in the press, we will go through the gate. If the gate is closed, we will go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we will pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we will parachute in. But we are going to get health care reform passed for the American people for their own personal health and economic security and for the important role that it will play in reducing the deficit.

I think the reason I almost vomited in my coffee when I heard her is because we know she stands for everything opposite of the founding principals of this great nation! And more scary is shes the speaker of the house...we see a brainwashed drone up there leading us off the plank into the shark tank and real Americans just shake their heads and wonder how in the hell she got elected. That shows you haw far off California is when it comes to politics.

What a ding bat,reducing the deficit she said,after spending 4 trillion and didn't produce jobs!

@cchanderson: What did the founding father's have in mind? Certainly not helping entities like Blue Cross or Phizer. They would in fact deem the elitist two percent wealthiest who pay hardly any taxes and think they can control the government a return to the aristocracy! The very thing they stood against.

Health care wasn't passed, it was rammed up America's ass.

Liberalism is a mental disorder - if you consider having camel shit for brains a mental issue.

@123karismith: Remember November, vote Democrat!

[123karismith]

We must make sure that the country goes bankrupt!.....Nancy is as dumb as a box of rocks and thinks that if she speaks to the country as if we a 4 year olds we'll buy the crap sh's selling. RememberNovember! I hope you have a resume Nancy, cause your'e going to be looking for a job in December!

[judyleasugar97]

@123karismith: bipartisan? There is no such thing in Washington. The Republicans have staunchly refused to do anything that would help the American people because it would mean less money for the health insurance executives. Yeah, I said it. That's what all the stonewalling is about. HI execs won't get their hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses. But it's over now. Health care bill is law so give it up.
