Anyone else watching this love fest called a town hall. I've watched about 2 min of it and this idiot hasn't answered one question yet all he has done is double speak.

The feds tax at gunpoint. And we want them to be in charge of health care?

That would make a great bumper sticker.

[freespirited]

What a stupid comment. These days my only captors are the rules, courtesy of Congress, that stand between me and my retirement money.

I had double heart beats that were out of control in 2005. Went to the Hospital for tests...$14,000. My insurance paid it all.

people are enslaved by the very government that is supposed to work for them. Dems, gop, it doesn't matter. They have all sold us down the river while they enrich themselves on our hard work and earnings.

I refuse to believe that I am being held hostage by wildlife

[Dallas59]

I can’t stand that last one.

[Venturer]

I am not held hostage by my health Care folks, but the government is about to hold me hostage to theirs.

[This_far]

I don’t have to have ANY insurance now.

If 0 gets his way, I will be MANDATED to pay for health care insurance.

I will never succumb to the Swedish syndrome.

If I am “held hostage” by one insurance company, I can change to a different one. If I am held hostage by the government, think waco. That is how the government takes caer of it’s hostages.
