Q: "Is the president going to get a bill out of the house and senate by the August recess?"

A: "No because we are the GOP and all we do is bitch and whine because our party got destroyed in the 2006 and 2008 elections and we put our party rather than our country over our decisions"

You are right about the war, but if you think that with government run health care you will have an "option" you are sadly mistaken. I wish it were true but you and I both know better..

Oh, but the GOP doesn't have a problem throwing taxpayer money at a wild goose chase for WMD's.

What everyone fails to realize is that this bill will kill private healthcare insurance, and the only remaining option will be for the govt to take healthcare over completely. Then, when "everybody's covered" (kum-ba-yaaah my Lord, kum-ba-yaaaaah) the govt will not only be in control of all the doctors, hospitals and medication, they will have bureaucracies decide who is entitled to what. Universal access will flood the system and the govt will have to find a way to "control costs" ie rationing

this same guy used to agree with the same policies in the last 8 years that cost this country so much. and like onlyrey said at least with this everyone would be able to have health insurance.

I am trying to think when government management of anything has led to greater efficiency and reduced cost. No getting anything.

We can pass health care reform without rasing taxes or adding to the deficit. Check out the five dollar revolution dot come

Notice the smile on Gregory's face when talking with this man who heads the party of NO!

Maybe Gregory would like another silly dance with turdblossom Rove.

It's not good for the insurance companies! plain and simple..Anyone who argues against it is just a batty boy for the health insurance lobbyists.
