Will they quit the crazy rhetoric and actually work with Obama to provide health care reform to America? Or are the going to remain the party of "NO"?

All of America has HC, except for about 30 million (the new number), of which 15-20 million are young, healthy people not interested in paying HC premiums.

So we should just totally overhaul the whole system because 10-15 million don't have insurance?

There is no need for that or a public option, which is the open door the democrats/liberals are so desperate to have.

If they focused on the real problems with our HC system, in manageable pieces, one by one, a lot could be done.

Just look at the tome of HR 3200. Who can read and understand such gibberish?

The dems/libs and obama aren't interested in any of that - all they are interested in is obtaining more power, money and control for the federal government.

The American people intuitively know this, they have common sense and know that the government does not have a very good track record of creating and managing monstrous bureaucracies that stay within the cost limits they set out initially.

Just look at the disaster of Medicare and the trillions in cost over runs - and that is not even paying doctors and hospitals full payment.

Nothing good can come from government involvement in HC.

"""and actually work with Obama to provide health care reform to America?"""

nice lie...obamy has not even allowed the republicans to be part of the debate

the left, especially pelosi are on a dangerous course and will split the democrats in half,,,,from the true democrats and the FAR LEFT NUTS


fact: 85% of americans HAVE health insurance(or medicare/medicaide) are are ok with it...only 15% of americans dont have insurance ANDF IF THEY APPLIED FOR MEDICAIDE they would get it

Fact: we spend 600 BILLION dollars a YEAR on medicare/medicade for about 50 million americans

FACT: the GOVERNMENT is 75% of the problem ...an example the FDA is the one who REGULATES medicines and make it that we CANT get them, or have to WAIT , and the FDA is the one who gives the ____(not sure what its called but its like a copyright) so the NAME brands have 5 years of EXCLUSIVITY, before its ALLOWED to be on the market as a generic


do you HONESTLY think the government will actually CARE about YOU, or just your taxes and your votes

the government cant even pay the car dealerships the CFC money....still waiting and going bankrupt in the mean time

So we should just all lay down and let this maniac do whatever he wants?

The answer is no.

The majority of us do not want this.

How about Obama and you working for America and for the better interest of the majority of Americans instead of for the select few.

Will Obama and the dems stop lying and trying to scam Americans with this crap?

Wait a minute, the dems have the majority and you are asking for the GOP's help? I wonder why?

It will be Nancy Pulosi who will stand in the way of HCR. She will take a no compromise position.
