Why limit the jobs to flipping burgers? They can always drive cabs.

The American people want reform but NOT THIS reform.

American doctors want reform but NOT THIS reform:

“Please allow me to emphasize that 96 percent of the physicians surveyed in our report are in favor of health reform, in some form or fashion,” she told CNSNews.com in an e-mail. “To me, the fact that so many physicians surveyed want health reform, but relatively few are in favor of the current legislation, was one of the most significant, telling results.”

Just further proof that what this administration and their lackies are shoving down our throats by force (deemed -slaughter) has absolutely nothing to do with health care and everything to do with control.

I love the cavalier attitude some have about the potential for a limited supply of doctors in the United States.

They could also leave if it didn't pass.
They'll be looking at less insured patients because less people can afford health insurance and companies are dropping health insurance benefits for employees.

Yeah, it's so much better with people having their premiums jacked up 40%, or being denied coverage, or having their coverage cancelled. We should keep things the way they are.
