leftys2221,
Just because you don't agree with their point of view does not mean they don't have the facts and the truth. You always question but never do you have facts to back up your challanges. Here is one for you. Show us where in the Constitution that healthcare is a right. It does say I have a right to free speech, and a right to my gun. So questioning a fact or a truth is just your way around the reality that what people say is true. This is a bad bill that must be killed before it kills real people.

So I take it you are not a fan of Timmy "the elf" Geithner or Charlie "I can't understand the very tax law I write" Rangle. It took a Constitutional amendment to make income tax legal. It is time for the States to repeal it Our government and leaders are to be above reproach. It is like mon and dad saying don't smoke while lighting up. Just doesn't work.

mankind you already do that by skipping them. I for one find ALL comments insightful. You just want to read what supports your narrow view of the world or the issues. Again just trying to control issues by restricting free speech. Sounds like something from the Rules for Radicals play book.

"More important for the future, every Democratic version of ObamaCare makes this task force an arbiter of the benefits that private insurers will be required to cover as they are converted into government contractors. What are now merely recommendations will become de facto rules, and under national health care these kinds of cost analyses will inevitably become more common as government decides where finite tax dollars are allowed to go.
In a rational system, the responsibility for health care ought to reside with patients and their doctors. James Thrall, a Harvard medical professor and chairman of the American College of Radiology, tells us that the breast cancer decision shows the dangers of medicine being reduced to "accounting exercises subject to interpretations and underlying assumptions," and based on costs and large group averages, not individuals.
"I fear that we are entering an era of deliberate decisions where we choose to trade people's lives for money," Dr. Thrall continued. He's not overstating the case, as the 12% of women who will develop breast cancer during their lifetimes may now better appreciate."
How many of you are willing to watch your loved one die because of government run healthcare. This is what you are asking us to do under Obamacare. Wake up before we lose more of our loved ones to something if caught early can be cured.
This is not a right or left issue. It is just proof that the government should not be in healthcare.

This is why I will never vote for Waltz again. His vote has caused me to freeze hiring. It will kill jobs and destroy the economy. This is a huge tax on small business. If it passes we will all be wishing for 10.2% unemployment.
I call on all members of AARP to cut up your cards and stop giving your money to AARP. They are for rationing and cuts to medicare. You are just dollar signs in their eyes. There is a pay off here some where I can smell it. Wish the press would do their jobs.

John,
You should read all the post under the poll. But really read the one from NoDFL about the true role of government. It may help you to wake up from the strange dream world you live in.

After last nights vote it is time for Mr. Waltz to go. He needs to re-read the Constitution. (you know the thing you swore to protect). Here is a little help for you Mr. Waltz.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.
James Madison (the father of the Constitution for those of you who don't know your history) described the division of labor between the states and the federal government as follows:
The powers delegated by the Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. (Please read that again) Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.... The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. (Federalist Papers, NO. 45, pp. 292-93

I am with you MissIndependent. Been reading on here for weeks about how this will led to rationing of care. Those who support this over look the basic facts. Scarcity drives all issues. Add more people and cut funding you will get less care period. Trying to say otherwise is like saying you can rewritte the law of gravity.
They put this out as a trial balloon to see if anyone was really paying attention. This is going to be how Obamacare works. There will be people who die because of the new rules. We need to take a stand but if this gets a pass in the Senate on Saturday night (again lets do it in the middle of the night on a weekend) we will all face having to live with 3rd world medical care.
On Affordable Health Care for America Act is fair
