I'm not so upset with the govt not being able to run it, but there should be some legislation to not allow insurance companies to steamroll over us. I wouldnt be surprised if the ins companies were all working together. smdh at all the crooked people in power...

They arent dropping it, they have just renamed it. I wish they would just expand medicare to cover people who cant afford it and pass a law say insurance companies could not deny anyone with pre-existing conditions and this would go along way and be better than a total government take-over of healthcare.

I do speak out against him because his loyalty is to the corporations, not the people. Our govt has lost its fear of the people. We have lost so much freedom due to past presidents and this one is no different. If you are truly willing to give up more of your freedom to the system in exchange for some temporary security, you deserve neither. When this program fails, and it will, you will be entirely dependent on the govt and they will try and take even more and they will say the same things.

If that were true you would not speak out against Obama.

Wow, you are worse at insults than at logic, or listening for that matter. Sorry, but your red herring will not deter. If you follow your proposed policies through, we will eventually destroy the middle class creating a super rich corporatism bureaucracy and prole class. Think separation of classes is bad now, it will be worse. The upper 5% will own 95% of the wealth, easily.

You remind me of a story my Grandpa once told me. He said everyone has a right to speak their mind, but just becuase you hear noise coming from a hole on another person - it doesn't mean they're "saying" anything. That's you in a nut shell my sad little nit wit - you just keep farting away.

this has been a pretty good debate.wish people would open their eyes and take a ;ook at whats really goin on

[freakawill2000]

Wow. You must be living in a dream world. I never supported either war unlike your left wing idols. Unfortunately, I will never pay my own bills if the left wing has anything to do with it. I will just be a leech off of the system and as the left wing continues, it will become worse and worse until I cannot exist without the government's paycheck every month who I then give to men who can't keep more than 10 cents of every dollar I give.

@jasonfulton, I agree.

[BlameRepublicans]

If that's the message you got from my post it would explain why you believe murdering 400,000 Iraqis is helping them, and trickle down (aka shoving money up the rich mans ass) helps the working man. After a couples of years of paying your own bills I suspect youll wake up from your Fox News wet dream and join us in the real world.
