Is it fair for a minority of senators to block an important bill? Most people would say no. That's why 30 years ago the Senate introduced a procedure known as "reconciliation" to ensure the democratic process would never come to a halt. Reconciliation allows for a simple up-or-down vote on a specific type of legislation -- if it reduces the budget deficit.
Let's do this! Don't listen to the corrupt republicans that pretend to represent the people.

When you actually observe the constitution then you can earn the right to talk about procedural issues like the filibuster.
You don't represent me.

health care isn't going to reduce the budget deficit. The government takeover of healthcare will put us that much closer to where Greece is today. Greece is a country that can no longer afford all of its social programs and is going bankrupt because of them.
Socialized healthcare is going to greatly increase the budget deficit.
