Pelosi sure looked like the cat that swallowed the canary Sunday morning. Big evil grin on her face.

Speaking of evil — this bill represents an attempt at building a Command Economy for the entire healthcare industry. It attempts to control everything, from the price of premiums, to what benefits must be provided, to how much a healthcare provider can charge. It is doomed to fail.

Clearly, the Democrats intend on phasing out one failed gov’t healthcare system (Medicare/Medicaid) for another (Obamacare). Obamacare is doomed to fail, for all of the same reasons that Medicare/Medicaid are failing, and then some more reasons on top of that.

Clearly, the Republican version of healthcare reform has been found wanting. I say scrap everything and start over. This time, start from basic principles and move outward from there. For starters: healthcare reform should cost taxpayers zero.

The Democrats want all Americans covered, regardless of health or ability to pay. This alone must drive premiums up. Even with 100% participation, premiums must go up. Any Democrat who believes otherwise is fooling themselves.

If we (a) allow insurance carriers to compete across state lines, (b) remove or at least alter state requirements for minimum benefits, (c) provide for meaningful Tort Reform, (d) allow taxpayers who purchase private insurance deduct it directly off their income taxes, and (e) standardize and secure electronic records so that health insurance and care are portable, then we can then sit back for a few years and see the positive impact on premiums and healthcare.

Obama’s private meeting with House Dems (bribery) produced exactly what he waned; passage of his so called health care plan>>>> the destruction of health care and the American economy as wo know them today..

Take a look at S. 787. It’s been in the works.

How many more sectors are left in our economy that are currently not controlled by a piece of legislation that has passed this House of Representatives or is already controlled by the Government.

Hey Blue Dogs… are you seriously willing to end your political career for Nancy Pelosi?

WHY?

What’s in it for you… and your constituents? Hard to imagine why anyone would allow themselves to be hectored into taking-one-for-the-team and incurring the wrath of the nation… when this arrogant socialist twit wouldn’t spit on you if your hair was on fire.

NOW is the time to KILL this pig- there’s no future in backing Obama’s radical plans anymore.

Vote for this highly unpopular bill at your peril… as SanFranNan will leave you twisting-in-the-wind next fall, of that you can be sure.

also ask that the entire bill be read on the House floor? If so, where are the Republican so-called leaders on this?

at Ft. Hood today, mostly about Obamas utter irrational insensitivity when he thought it more important to “give a shout out” to Dr. (something) Crow, and act as though nothing tragic had happened, before he even addressed the unfolding tragedy. Drudge has a great article on their site speaking to this from none other than NBC CHICAGO. Immagine his own organized city apparently turning on him first.
