Ya, that stupid little provision that the Republicans wanted in the "proposal" to exclude insurance for illegal aliens in the bill (and the Democrats blocked). BTW, I'm a conservative and I HATE the insurance companies.

How can you get it so wrong? Clearly it is the Right relying on voters -- and non-voters, for that matter -- not being informed. How do you twist your reality to be the opposite of what it is? How are you able to project the condition of the Right onto the Left and be so blind about what you are doing?

He doesnt even have a health bill of his very own.Is he afraid of rejection WHY DOESNT he come up some ideas of his own HE leaves everything up to congress and the house to craft all the bill. he wanted to be president show me some leadership
I will agree with you on that. He should have been out there providing the lead on this. He should have told the Congress "this is what I want to accomplish and this is what I need to do it" instead of sitting back and letting things happen. I like Obama but his handling of this has not been good. Just keeping it honest.

I e-mailed all my Members of Congress and asked them to kill Obamacare as it is currently written - and to make sure that the GOP plan gets fair hearings in both Houses of Congress
