Health insurance industry trade groups opposed to President Obama's health care reform bill are paying Facebook users fake money -- called "virtual currency" -- to send letters to Congress protesting the bill.

How do I get in on that money? I don't play around on Facebook but surely there is some other way.

I don't consider this "healthcare" crap to be reform but a taking of power for the government. Am I really wrong? If so let me know how it is anything else other than a power grab that the Dems know has to be done as soon as possible because to wait until debating can be done would be too late since the election is coming so soon after it all happened.

Damn those insurance companies that nearly 80% of the people have insurance with and are very happy with what they have. Why doesn't the Congress try to do something to save the people some money? It is pretty obvious why and also obvious that many of those who vote for these things won't be back in office next year. I just hope that Harry and Nancy lose their respective elections. How about you?

So you don't consider it to be reform, but a power grab. OK. Can you cite one country in the world where it has been a power grab by having nationalized health care. Or are you just smarter than every person in the history of mankind? Again basically every developed nation in the world has a form of nationalized healtcare. By every single metric I have ever heard from lenght of life, quality of life, infant mortality, bankruptsys due to medical care, and on and on (other than breast enlargement) the USA is at the bottom of the industrialized nations in fact we rank very close to cuba (a developing nation) in many metrics.

And again on average vs all industrialized with losing every catagory/metrix we are about twice the price.

So please give me an example of what nation controls its people with health care that has nationalized health care.

As far as your numbers about people being happy with what they have, were these questioners sent out by the insurance companies with your name on them? IE if you answer to the negative your rate doubles this year?

BTW I have heard before WalMart hires people with real money that blog on their side too. and many other companies pay people to do it too. So your vote is for sale?
