This administration is too cunning to just surrender.

My guess is this is a tactical realignment.

when was the last time you saw a liberal (liberal with socialist tendancies in this case) back down from a plan thatcontrols peoples lives. he won't even consider tort reform, can't afford to step on those toes.

The face of this changes from day to day, but right now it looks like anyone that votes for this will be fired by their constituents.

And that folks, is the way it is supposed to work in a Constitutional Republic.

Without a public option this nation is doomed. Already we have horrendous health care that is way overpriced. It's running small businesses into the ground.

The code named 'public option' (is really government controlled) is the first step to socialism, we're not buying it!

And 'we' do not have horrendous health care. I LOVE mine :-)

Most Americans are too smart to accept Emanuel's DeathCare plan.

isnt it amazing how words can be so deceiving. public option is the same thing as gov run but just because u use the former ppl r so accepting but if u use the latter ppl will be up in arms over it.
Diane to eve August 19, 2009 18:27:09

LOL ~ Right!

So the 'new and improved' buzz word is 'Co-op'! How many will fall for this one?

Nobama is staking his entire future career as POTUS on this one issue ! The Demonrat Seniors are even mad now. There is no tort reform being mentioned either. This HR 3200 has exposed the arrogance of this administraiton even more. BHO does not have the votes for single payer option in the United States Senate.

No. First of all they are not serious about removing the "public option", second even without it there is too much government intrusion that will raise costs and restrict treatment.

That image behind Obama is the Childrens Hospital Bear. Childrens Hospital doesn't turn anyone away on inability to pay. They receive millions in donations from people like me whose children are Childrens Hospital babies and they do some amazing things to help children that Ezekial Emmanuel wouldn't think are worthy treating.

the taxpayers have to pay for this regardless of who benefits. if you're self-employed, you already pay MORE THAN DOUBLE your regular income tax as a 'self-employment tax' that pays for the existing program. where will the money for this new elite-only benefit come from?
+3 raves
WALLEE to inforodeo August 18, 2009 21:32:56

sadly the money will come from us. obama wants a two tier economic system in "our" country...the elite and the poor. he is dead set on wiping out the middle class.

They are going to take over the system one way or another. They pay media research groups constantly to see what language is more favorable to those they are polling. Keep the pressure on folks, keep the pressure on.

Answered: YES AND THIS IS WHY....
I'll be for it either way. I would prefer to have the public healthcare included; however if it isn't I'll make some personal efforts at promoting a policy that will allow those of us who are working, but without insurance, to be exempted from paying for anyone else's socialized healthcare, i.e. Medicare and state run programs.

Lanikai to lynnell... August 18, 2009 18:56:30

I think we should each pay for our own healthcare, without ANY government interference in the healthcare system. PERIOD.

I do not want to pay more, for anyone.

they will still attempt to ram it down our throats--this is not so much about health care as it is a power grab like we have never seen--they did not anticipate the stiff resistance they are encountering at the town hall meetings--this is why dissenters are being called all kinds of derogatory names--and being slandered in the mainline media--their tactics are getting old and lame--just like they are

i have been battling on a poll for the past two days--by starrgazer-
the southern poverty law center has issued a "warning" about "white militia's"--i took on a number of hypocrites pointing out that street gangs are more numerous, outnumber the militia's about 500 to 1, and murder on a daily basis---these fools could not refute the truth so i was called a litany of derogatory names--
racist-hater --gop hate monger, right wing nut job, rude, intrepid, a liar, and then some---not one of them could deny i was right--they insisted "white militia's are terrorists, racists etc etc---but ignore that black gangs murder their own people at the rate of 23 per day nationwide--we are dealing with third level imbeciles
ps just checked the responses--we can add fearmonger and nazi to the slanderous names i've been labeled with
