Okay, so he makes his speech and doesnt stick around for the reply?

Grandstanding without any substance and without offering an alternative. He has a bright future as a GOP politician.

46 Million Americans have no health care. I guess the solution by the right is to let them rot? They should just keep it real and admit it.

the video ended, how do you know he didn't stick around? Is there another video?

I don't recall this man speaking of health care? Although that is what the town hall meeting was called for.....

I like you have heard, no HCR, no HCR...but not hearing other options, still waiting.

The bolded statement is a flat out Liberal Democrat Lie.

#1) 46 million Americans is and unsubstantiated number

#2) Everyone has access to Healthcare or Healthcare insurance. It is a question of affordability.

So quit with your Democratic talking point Lies, you look just as bad as the Death Panel shouters.

Oh my bad, What I meant to say is that 46 Million Americans can't afford health care.

Feel better now?

Is this man your cousin or something? Is that why you are vociferously defending him? I wonder?

Why not tone down your crazed cultlike fingerpointing and tell me what the solution is????

Somewhere there is a Marine vet, who can't afford health insurance too.
Unfortunately, we never him from them.

I was in the Navy (Officer 6 years), my mother pays 600.00 a month splitting payment with her employer who won't put her on the companies plan because it will raise everyone's premiums too high. 600.00 a month which will almost double when she turns 60.

Again, incorrect - 46 million Americans is the estimate of people on in the country without insurance. Subtract illegals and people that CHOOSE to go without insurance, and the number is closer to 15 million Amiercans that can't afford healthcare.

For the record, I would defend this man because he has defended me.

Solutions: start with tort reform, no free care for illegals, and the ability to go across state lines for insurance coverage, and you have a start of the solution.
