WASHINGTON - Democratic congressional leaders vowed Friday to resurrect their long-stalled health care legislation with or without Republican suggestions or even their votes.

One day after an unprecedented health care summit that brought together President Obama and lawmakers of both parties, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the nationally televised event showed GOP lawmakers are "accepting the status quo" in which insurance companies mistreat consumers.

She told reporters at a news conference that there are "good prospects for passing" health care legislation along the lines Obama has outlined, even if Republicans refuse their support.

Hardly a surprise! Pelosi and her lackeys are totally oblivious to the mood of the electorate. They will pay a steep price come November.

"GOP lawmakers are "accepting the status quo" in which insurance companies mistreat consumers"

Now that's a reasoned well thought out argument.

Not if the Communists get their way and KILL us all with NO health care, which is what they want. To choose who lives and dies. Play God with the American people while they line their pockets with their 30 pieces of silver.

The left has long since forgotten logic and reasoning. It's all an emotional thing to them.

The Democrats just don't believe that they will all be voted out of office sooner, or later as the opportunities appear. If this is considered as dieing for their country, so be it. We will mark their graves with a stake and the appropriate words.

“even if Republicans refuse their support.”

When have they given Repubs support? Did I miss something?

You got that right! Just look at the status of health care in the USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, China, etc., etc.

So Jennifer Loven ( dedicated Dem operative with a former Clinton employed Hubie who is now part of a Dem party front group) has been brought into to enhance the propaganda from Ricardo !
Notice how Jen and Ricky left out the toxic word “ Reconciliation “ from this propaganda piece .

I don't think they care, they have waited many years to get this kind a takeover/power and they're not going to let this slip chance away.

They know they won't get another opportunity for 50 years.

“All I WANT IS A SMALL CUP OF COFFEE”

HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY

Image, if you will, walking into Burger King and saying “a cup small cup of coffee, please”.

The person behind the counter replies “we only sell large cups of coffee“.

I say, “OK. How much is a large cup of coffee.”

Counter Person “That will be $20.00.”

“$20.00. Are you insane?”

CP “ You don’t understand. A long with that large cup of coffee you get a order of fries, a fish sandwich, two double cheeseburger, two house salads (mandated by local government) and bake potato (mandated by to State Government). It’s a package deal”.

“But all I want is a small cup of coffee.”

CP “You see, if all the people just wanted a small cup of coffee, we wouldn’t make any money. We were not selling enough fish sandwiches and double cheeseburgers. We were selling way to many small coffees. So our CEO got together with our competing CEO’s, along with our local government and change a few things. Now, you have to buy the large coffee package. Did I mention, we are not subject to anti trust laws.”

Meanwhile, the person in the next isle orders 5 large coffees and is only charge $75.00.

“Hay, CP. Why did that guy only pay $15.00 per the large coffee package?

CP “They are a belong to a large discount group.”

“Let me guess, Local government?”

CP Why yes. They get the best discount. Large employer. you know.” Do you work for a large group?

“No. I’m a sole proprietor .”

CP “ You are SOL. It’s against our rules for you to join with other sole proprietor to form a group”
By the way, you can’t go to the next town to get your Small Cup of Coffee. Even if they sell it, they, like us, can only sell to residents in the town.”

“Let me guess. Part of the being exempt from anti trust laws?”

CP “Right, You catch on fast.”

This is the “State” of our health insurance industry as it stands.

WHERE IS THE COMPETITION? LET ME BUY MY “SMALL CUP OF COFFEE”

WE DEMAND A FREE MARKLET SOLUTION TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE.

LET THE COMPETITION BEGAIN
