Perhaps, the goverment should go after the drug companies rather than the insurance companies so they can get to the root of the problem rather than the tree? I see you are a stout democrat but doubt that you would be happy with paying the cost of having a goverment run healthplan as has been suggested. If you really belive $840 billion dollars will not come out of our pockets in some way, shape or form you are flat wrong. Oh and if you think it is only going to come from the certain income earners, keep dreaming buddy, it will cost you somewhere as it always does and has in the past.

The Republican Party has been given every chance to come up with a bill of their own, and they have not done so. The Democrats need to treat them like whiny children that are not educated enough to make rational adult decisions. The Democrats bill is far from perfect, but it sure beats nothing. Insurance companies are effectively killing their customers. Drug companies are taking advantage of the situation by charging five times as much for their drugs here as they do in Canada and Mexico. The Republicans are determined to stop everything the President wants to do, whether it is good for America or not, but they are not willing to come up with any ideas on their own. You would think they would feel responsible for the current state of our country, but that would suggest that they have a heart, mind, or soul. Enough is enough! The President should do everything possible to bury them and not let them off of the mat. The Republicans and their supporters are unpatriotic.

Rodney King once said.... "Can't we just get along". However, with Republican Party. "Can't we just mess up the government".

In my home, we cannot spend ourselves into prosperity so how are the Democrats going to do it? We cannot afford this health care act as published. You know it is a bad idea when those opposed to it have to be bribed to jump the rational ship onto the sinking one. Louisiana needs things as does Texas. Louisiana will be taxed to the ends of the Earth as will the other states. She is an idiot for thinking that her issues are over. They have just begun. Where are the ethics committees at now? No ethics in this bill.

The Senate bill is “superior” to the House bill in that it contains more lies, more manipulation, more coercion, and more bribes to be paid by us.
To get the House to pass the Obamacare scam, Obama and his accomplices lied, manipulated, intimidated, coerced and bribed (at our expense) Big Pharma, the AARP, the AMA, “Catholics” like Cao, insurance companies, etc.
To get the Senate to pass the scam, Obama and his accomplices have perfected the lies, the manipulation, and the intimidation. And they are bribing (at our expense) additional organizations and people like Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln, and Mary Landrieu.
The intent of the bill is NOT to improve anything. It's just government control (socialism/Marxism). Period.
