Going back to the same playbook. Demonize the insurance companies. Sounds desparate to me.

continueing...

The competing radio addresses underscored the urgency behind Obama's last-ditch push for immediate health care reform. Without a victory -- and quickly -- Democrats move into a fast-approaching election season without a major, tangible accomplishment that affects voters' pocketbooks. And with a chasm remaining between the two parties, Democrats considered passing the overhaul with votes just from their party....

More stress for us all, compliments of the President and his crew. Many of us will have more health problems before these people are finished with us.

There are doubts that it has the votes to pass in the House.

Obama’s socialist version of a chicken in every pot:

* If you don’t subscribe to a government approved food coop, you’ll get fined by the IRS.

* The government will tell you how big and what kind of chicken you’ll get.

* You won’t get your government approved chicken for 4 or 5 years.

Actually, the RATs will be much better off if they avoid "affecting voters' pocketbooks" any further.

I just met with some of them on Thursday, and they couldn't give me a straight answer as to why they keep arbitrarily and massively raising premiums -- by as much as 60 percent in states like Illinois

Maybe because they're terrified the government will continue mucking about in the free market, YOU ARROGANT BASTARD!

The current 'sickness' in our healthcare system can be traced to government regulations and manipulation of prices, but we're supposed to believe more of the same will make it better?

I'm wondering if anyone really understands how the reconciliation process will actually proceed in the Senate.

Here is why I think this is an important issue:

ObamaCare will die in the House unless the Senate and Harry Reid can convince the Stupak Pro-Life Caucus that they would, with certainty, modify the ultimate language in the law defining ObamaCare to outlaw abortion funding. To make such a guarantee Reid will have to prove that there is a majority in the Senate to do so. There is no way to prove that without an actual vote. Also Reid has to prove that the desired language change is legal under the Senate rules for a reconciliation bill. This is not a certainty. And then Reid has to prove that the Republicans won't stall the process in the Senate so that nothing ever gets settled.

IMHO, none of this can be proven to the Stupak Group with any credibility if the Senate cannot proceed formally with the reconciliation bill before the House votes on the original Senate Bill. Can they proceed? I don't know. What I do know is that they aren't and they took the weekend off.

So if anyone out there in Freeperland understands the actual process that the Senate will follow in constructing a reconciliation bill that goes beyond the normal back-room dealing should speak up.

Rep[ublican Congressman Parker Griffith, MD will be making the GOP rebuttal to Obama’s radio address. It will point out the mood of most of the people in the country. As a physician, he should know what the consequences are for this crap they are trying to shove up our.........no, down our throat.

I've received two automated calls "informing" me of the increases that insurance companies are planning. I wish there had been a live person, so I could tell them my opinion.

Obama is working overtime to get out his message.


"And those are NOT my fingerprints all over the Congressional bill.
I merely facilitated discussion among the various groups."
