Answers to the questions, from the GOP perspective of This is a bad bill: "Excuse me, I came today to listen to Representative XXX explain how this bill is going to make health care more affordable for me and my family..." "It's not. Next question?" "I’m retired and can’t afford my prescription drugs because I’m on a fixed income. Representative, how is this bill going to affect me?” "It's going to end up costing you more and giving you less choices. Next question?" “I want to hear the Representative speak. He’s the one voting on the bill. Representative, how will this bill help people who already have insurance at work?” "It won't: in fact, it'll cause all of them to eventually lose their private coverage. Next question?" “What I’m worried about is how we’re going to keep the insurance companies from continuing to charge people more for being sick and keep them from taking away coverage when we need it most. What’s the plan for that?” "Not driving them out of business so that we're forced to have a single-payer regime. Next question?"

Please, when you write articles about union thugs, HCAN, SEIU, et al., would you attempt to find out how many of them have connections with the Communist Party USA (http://www.cpusa.org/) or the Democratic Socialists of America (http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html) or the International Socialist Organization (http://www.internationalsocialist.org/)? Use their web site search boxes. You may be surprised by the results.

It’s time to pin the donkey with the correct label.

in Charlottesville, VA. Our local talk show host interviewed the organizer, and he said he was there representing the SEIU, and that they have a vested interest in this legislation. He was a part of Organizing for America. The local news rag made it sound as though the most of the people there in support were from the local area.

George W. Bush got a prescription drug benefit program added to Medicare. Throw that fact right in their liberal faces.

Those who dissent this nationalized debacle are grassroots, both Democrats & Republicans. These drones are the real bought and paid for lobbyists for Obama’s dictatorial will to impose the most destructive encroachment on our liberty and the liberty of generations to come. May God bless America.
