He forgot to mentions how he screwed the Gays

Perhaps you should be more specific. I personally do not care if you are gay. I do care if someone gets left out or descriminated against. The subject of this was healthcare. Are you getting done wrong on health care? If not maybe you should redirect it to another section of the page create a blog to raise awareness for your concerns.

I just received an e-mail asking me to follow in the grassroots spirit of Obama's election campaign by supporting his health care proposals.

News flash: the grassroots (and a majority of Americans want single-payer health care. However Obama is letting the big health care corporations lead him around by the nose. We wanted Change We Can Believe In & now we've got the same old big-money insiders screwing us over while Obama acts like we can't tell the difference.

Another news flash: Hey, Democratic leadership - want to see the Republicans revive? Then keep on letting the same corporate concerns run roughshod over the needs of the people.

Honorable President and Legislators,

Health care costs and facts:

Why do legislators on both sides of the aisle think OUR tax dollars is their money? Since when I ask? Use our existing pie of tax dollars to insure all in the USA for 24/7 health care! Cut off wasteful corporate welfare and spend OUR tax dollars on OUR medical insurance.

Don't force employers to pay one thin dime! There are plenty of tax dollars in DC to cover all of us. Yes this National Health Insurance concept is the most practical and comprehensive in this nations history.Tax dollars come from the hard working people NOT from the government. It's time to give peoples tax dollars back to the tax paying people.

Yes to National Health Insurance. It’s a wise investment in the people and america!

Remember RATIONING is what the medical insurance industry has been offering for many decades. The level of care is dependent on how much money one is able to put on the table. This is no question about it corporate american style rationing and/or class warfare.

What could be more american than allowing USA people to pay for THEIR OWN insurance with THEIR OWN tax dollars?

HR 676 would cover every person for all necessary medical care plus end deductibles and co-payments = more expendable cash for ourselves and/or our families. Now we’re talking dollars and sense.

The government( all those wealthy elected officials) gets free health insurance which is why ALL OF US should have OUR health insurance covered by OUR tax dollars just like 60% of those who are insured which comes to $1.2 trillion.

Just think how much more efficient $1.2 trilion health insurance tax dollars can be spent by covering all USA people instead of only 60% of those with insurance. Now we are talking like efficient, fiscally responsible, dollars and sense conservatives.

Further it will end bankrupt cases due to medical bills thus reducing the number of people requiring social services = more common sense fiscally responsible conservative thinking.

Merrill, dude, rationing is what's explicitly described in Daschel's book. When you're old, you're not worth the treatment expense. Is THAT what you want for your health care plan?? Not ME! Covering the uninsured? Absolutely. Reigning in costs...yes. But having some politically appointed moron in DC decide what type of test or treatment I'm entitled to???? Forget it. NOR do I want to wait for months on end for the tests or treatments IF they are approved. Let's take care of the less fortunate first. As Thomas Paine stated, when we start looking to Europe for answers to our problems, we are in dire straits.
