Kill the F-in Insurance Companies. Kill people who bring their cellphones to a meeting with their Congressman. Kill all Townhallers and Teabaggers. And, most of all, kill all skinny chickenhawk Republican Congressmen who are whoring for big Health Care.

I have been reading this bill, so far I have found ten things in it that I don't like, some he said. I also (so far) have ten more things that are not in the bill, that should be. This bill is a very bad idea, don't think so, your not reading it.

Insurance company "big government" scare is always used to block any attempt to break that industries monopoly over health care insurance.

Nothing "controls" your health care like the private insurance companies.

This bill contains many excellent measures, such as allowing insur. co's to compete across state lines, incentives for preventative care, prohibitions against insurance companies discriminating on the basis of pre-existing conditions, a public option to bread the private insur. co's monopoly and the list goes on. Note that this good little Republican doesn't mention any of them. GOP/ insurance cos have always blocked HC reform using the same rhetoric..

If people can just get by paying for insurance . how do you think they are going to pay taxes on hip replacement when they are all ready on a fixed income. it's kind of funny that government wants to stick finger into health care right now while H1N1 is getting worst and worst , And jobs are still going left and right. Are you getting things set up after half the people dies from H1N1. That Government has full control over all heatlh issues. Check out the Geroiga Guild Stones . Then think ?

We the people still haven't heard rather or not all the congress and seate will have the same heatlh care that the rest of the people will have . We all need to pay the same amount that we can afford to pay by our living life style. low income pays , medium pays medium ,and all you rich upper class needs to play upperclass . But everyone gets the same cover of insurance . then that way where all doing what we can to help .
