Obama asks House to vote on health care bill

NO WAY! | 3:56 p.m. Nov. 7, 2009

The Feds can't manage what they have now, why should we give them more? This is nothing but a power grab!

No, this is not good for the nation. Do not vote on it. Let it die a miserable death. An 1800 pages bill is disastrous and screwed up. Will Congress and the President be part of this bill? They have never allowed themselves to come under the same plans as the rest of the nation. Gutless is what they are. Self serving hypocrisy at its best.

So you are against mandatory car insurance too? You don't want all those cheap people out there to start paying for thier own insurance instead of going to the emergency room ?

So health isurance basically pools a bunch of people's money together and then the company decides which bills to pay or not pay.

That just sounds like socalizm to me. I think we anti-communist should be against health insuance in general. Give your Dr a chicken next time and see what they say.

It is noted in the article that Medicare cuts will be as much as $400 billion over the next decade. In our office, Medicare covers the cost of the procedure our doctor performs only if we receive the co-payment from the patient. If reimbursements are cut further, we will not be able to afford to continue to see Medicare patients.

The savings "or cuts" as you would like to say will come from improved efficiency and cost cutting, not service denial. That's why AARP (retired people actually on Medicare) has endorsed the plan.

Has our beloved President been to Ft. Hood yet or is he self consumed with his worthless health care bill?
