House opens debate on health care overhaul bill

Did they invite the Republicans, or will they debate the same way they wrote the bill?

Pray for America, to be delivered from the hands of a power mad woman, "Nancy the Destroyer" !

What debate! As Gore and the rest of the selfrighteous left says: "the debate is over." They know whats best for the working class drones, and that is to spend every last dime we have. Break the system and replace it with another more caring and compassionate government run system.

Obama was right when he promised he wouldn't unplug Granny from life support.

It looks more like he will act environmentally and simply stop paying the electric bill.

How many millions of seniors will lose the coverage they had before.

This bill will put more seniors in an early grave, more money in the pockets of the lawyers, more money into the already huge medical bureaucracy, andless money into providing quality medical services.


If this bill passes it will be the darkest day in your nation's previously enlightened history.

Pelosi and Obama are the most Socialist leaders you have ever had. They make Jimmy Carter look like Reagan. No wonder Chavez likes Obama.

I'm in med school right now and freaking out over whether I'm going to be able to afford to pay back the $250K in student loans I'm going to have by the time I graduate based on some of the government's proposals in this healthcare plan. That being said, I strongly support major healthcare overhaul, because anyone who's had even a minuscule amount of exposure to the healthcare industry knows what a broken system it is.

Being a Republican, I'm very disappointed in the entire Republican party for deciding they'd rather try to block the whole process and make Obama/Pelosi/Reid look bad instead of contributing something to the bill. Healthcare needs to be fixed, and if the Republicans continue to just sit on their thumbs and call the Democrats bad names, then any bill that passes will be chock full of liberal agendas and have no conservative input whatsoever. I'd much rather let Obama get some credit for creating a GOOD, BIPARTISAN bill than just fill the whole thing up with liberal agendas that do little but increase spending and waste. Republican's actions are pathetic.
