Oh, so THIS is what the WH wanted those rumors and smears for: WHITEHOUSE.GOV/REALITYCHECK (McCain, independent)

Please start with the beginning. And go...

(If you want an example of government "efficiency", look at bloated public school administrative personnel needed to cope with paperwork, thanks to "funding".)

How true! If health care goes the way of education, we'll be on the very bottom!

The AARP is going to sue? Are you joking? If it does sue, and wins, you can bet that Medicare will also be prohibited. Why would the AARP bring suit on something that could potentially harm its members?

I don't want any new healthcare plan that involves the government and taxes to pay for it.

Mind control? Where do you people come up with this stuff?

The GOP legislation is not being allowed to be heard in committee.

The minority party generally does not get to draft legislation all by its lonesome. That's how government works. However, Republican amendments to the Democratic bill have been allowed and many have been accepted by their committees.

The White House - Blog Post - Reality Check

This is the site: Get the facts about the stability and security you get from health insurance reform | Health Insurance Reform Reality Check

How sad that the idiot rumors and lies are such a blizzard that they have to do this -- but they had to during the campaign, too.

Of course if you don't trust the White House, how bout Politifact and it's Truth-o-Meter

They even have a Obameter, just for those who like to keep track of the promises.

Sorry but anyone can draft legislation. The FACT is, Democratic leadership in the House and Senate will not allow the GOP bill to be heard.

The question is - what are the Democrats afraid of? It become particularily interesting when Democrats actually lie and say -- "the republicans have offered nothing"

And before you ask for proof of this - it has already been provided, by me and others. Do you own search.

We are already near bottom in health care. The only ones below us are undeveloped third world countries.
