The MEDIA morons have made it a Republican vs. Democrat issue where as in reality it's an issue to all Americans regardless of their political inclination.

O bama screwed all americans and sold them to Pharmaceutical criminals and drug lords

[MrTabby5000]

yes its the way they word the questions.

Rasmussen is a useless partisan poll that bends it's findings to conservative interests.

[phibes2]

According to Rasmussen, only 38% of Americans support either health bills. The democrats please all the special interest groups and pharmaceutical companies but do nothing to improve the health of ordinary Americans.

The Senate health bill would financially penalize people who take care of their own health and choose not to hand over $1,000 month (or more) to the insurance companies and criminalizes those who opt out.

More govt control, robbing billions from Medicare and $trillion in new taxes

[1ruskie101]

Fogbats, stick with one of the "RA RA Go Obama" stations like America's Pravda, MSNBC. Take a healthy dose of your cult leaders kool-aid and jump off the cliff with your sheep buddies.

And read my statement again, I said the House bill costs well over a Trillion dollars and And in the Senate, they're making it look less expensive by phasing in benefits and taxes at different times with $849 billion in new taxes and fees and by reductions in the growth of Medicare.

They're both nightmares!

[Fogbats]

No, 1ruskie101, you're the one who's doing the misinforming here. Nothing you've said is factual (for one the senate health bill costs $849 billion, not "well over $1 trillion, and as I said before, it's deficit neutral).

From your previous comment I thought you were someone who was actually misinformed, but from this comment (as well as looking at your page)it's obvious that you're just another right-wing conspiracy theorist who can't stop watching Fox "News" and has no grasp upon reality.

[1ruskie101]

Look a little closer Fogbats, what you're reading a massive public relations misinformation campaign carried by the White House. The overall cost of House bill is well over $1 trillion and create more than $200 billion in red ink for the federal government over the next 10 years. And in the Senate, they're making it look less expensive by phasing in benefits and taxes at different times. So the far-left progressive democrats are not being honest and upfront in the slightest bit.

It's very bad!

[Fogbats]

What are you talking about 1ruskie101, they've already worked the payment of the bill out, it doesn't add to the deficit one bit, and beyond that the Congressional Budget Office reports that it will LOWER the deficit by $127 billion over the next decade and $650 billion during the decade after that. It HELPS the deficit!
