"he representation that these folks have given, when 80% of the State says NO to Government mandated Health Care, then they vote NO."

NOT TRUE- LIST YOUR SOURCES. Last Poll indicated 72% IN FAVOR!!!!

elcid, in response to your 5:40 PM reply, I have no problem with healthcare being at an affordable cost. The problem is, and many Democrat Congressmen who voted against this agree with me, this bill does NOTHING to reduce costs. It just channels the high costs to the public. And as I said, most of the Democrats who voted against this AGREE with ME!

" ban the practices of excluding coverage or increasing premiums due to pre-existing conditions"

Forcing insurance companies to cover "pre-existing conditions" is no different from forcing auto insurance companies to cover you after you've been in an accident.

"Funny, what you call a "war on America", I call the democratic process."

The democratic process means that you represent the opinions of your constituents, which if they say NO, then they mean NO, and you balance that out by the number of YES's you get in the process.

We cast our vote for those that we think will do the job that we hire them. NOT go against the grain "Just because...(Insert any rationalization here.)

Democracy is about representation. The representation that these folks have given, when 80% of the State says NO to Government mandated Health Care, then they vote NO.

The targeted five here, are not representatives. They are socialists.

"Are you honestly suggesting that this bill will lead to American deaths? Seriously?

Please explain how you came to that conclusion. Click to view my profile"

Rahm Emmanuel's Brother, who underwrote most of the "who to deny coverage to" pieces in the bill, and explained on National TV who would be covered, and who would not.

(Continued) You probably bring home what the average worker brings home AFTER his taxes are taken from him.

There is no excuse for a person to accept having a minimum wage job and trying to live off of it. Minimum wage jobs are made for HS students, people working part time, etc. Don't take a non-brainer job and then complain because I went to HS, College and then worked my backside off to get where I am now....and that isn't all that grand my friend.

Last question: Are you an AA and expect that the white people should make up slavery to you. Why? You weren't a slave. You've had decades to change the expectations or to mold to the expectations of the average working class, instead of others molding their lives to you and your culture.

Last but not least. I'm a female, born in the 60s. Last time I checked we females didn't get beyond possession of males until sometime in the 1800s....so slavery is slavery. Glass ceilings still exists and I've gone far. u can too.

What I would like to see happen? A Root Cause analysis of why people can not afford or do not have insurance. I feel like we're fighting the wrong thing.

#1 "I've been denied because previous medical issue". I understand this one. Something should be done to the INSURANCE CO to make them take you as a client. (As constitutional as making me pay for it). #2 "I have a job making minimum wage". Why? A - Are you a HS graduate? If not - Why? School is free. B - Are you a College graduate? If not - why? Loans are available and technical schools are cheaper. Why not learn a trade (rhetorical question). C - Why are you working at a minimum wage job is you have graduated from HS? D - Have you made an effort to do anything other than mindless work (janitorial, flipping burgers, etc.) E - Are you an illegal alien making money under the table? If so - don't complain - no real taxes for you (State, Federal, FICA - just consumption taxes). (Continued)

"What do you mean I'm overdrawn? I still have checks left!!!!"

"Wow! You're right, this is a war on America!!! I mean, the new legislation is expected to cover 96% of Americans and ban the practices of excluding coverage or increasing premiums due to pre-existing conditions or dropping coverage due to diagnosis all while reducing the deficit by over $100 billion and taxing only the top 5% of Americans an additional 5%."

And how do you think this will EVER pay the bill for this? PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.......

Lies, no way in hell they can pay the trillions of dollars without raking the middle class into the same category as the working poor. I'm sorry the working poor obviously made bad decisions....I didn't. I shouldn't have to redistribute my money to pay for these jerks who ride (free) on ambulances each 1st of the month because they got THEY MONIES and are drinking and their diabetes is a problem for them. We are rewarding people for bad behaviors. Like children - reward GOOD, not bad!

"Or what if you're one of the people on this planet who can't pay what you can? Should they be allowed to die? Are the lives of the poor less valuable?"

No. However they can ask for a donation from George Soros or other liberals who make a lot more money than I do.

"Ah, I see. You want to be entitled to health care at an affordable cost, or at no cost if you are unable to pay for it."

None of us are entitled to anything, and that is the crux of the debate. Market based solutions such as cross-state competition would lower the costs overall for everyone.

I'll ask again, please explain how the government, who cannot manage Medicare/Medicaid/VA effectively, get to manage a health care system for the entire country?
