I am beginning to believe that all of these TV personalities are just to make us THINK there is two sides but the song remains the same. VOTE THEM ALL OUT , 200 of them sent packing in 2010 will send a "LOUD AND CLEAR" message to the remaining ones !! Listen to us damnit!!

The only "scare tactics" in use these days are those that come out of the mouths of the administration staff regarding anything at all. No matter what they talk about pushing through Congress, it's all terrifying. Bill Kristol, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK. And Juan, shame on you for not keeping a professional perspective on these matters--instead, you've let your emotions control your brain. If you want to be LOBBYIST fine--but don't call yourself a journalist if you're going to be like THIS.

Hey Juan do and say whatever the he11 you want, but pay for all the increased taxes for me, health care, cap and trade, etc. Limousine liberal mouthpiece's from Spanish Harlem - the People's State needs more of them.

Any time politicians use scare tactics or appeal to emotions instead of giving facts and figures to win support for a congressional bill................we don't need it.

The only fact or figure they are giving about this is the 40 million uninsured. But, do your research and 12-14 million are illegals, 10 million are 30 and older, who pay their healthcare as they go and another 10 million are the young adults, who don't worry about HC anyway.

The Democrats are showing their true, socialist, race politics, anti-American colors more and more every day. They will be back to being the minority party sooner than later.

PS: The 'stimulus' is a failure.

Taxing the productive to support the unproductive only leads to more people being unproductive.

That's all desperate conservatives have are scare tactics...been there, done that, not impressed. Same goes for your lame rationale for being against anything productive and labeling whatever you don't understand as 'bad'. Grow the f*ck up you pathetic know-nothings. I'd ask for the sources for your paranoia, but I already know you don't have any other than your easily manipulated minds.

Let's see....The Huffington Post? The article is obviously not worth the time it takes to read it. Can you say biased reporting? If this media source was available in paper, I would not line my bird cage with it.

Let's see: I live in Europe and have had two operations in the past four years. One an emergency removal of my gall bladder in 2005 - a bed was immediately made available following scans and checks. The surgeon came to the hospital afterwards to talk to me about it and we also had a post-op meeting in his office. This past May, a removal of part of my torn meniscus. I paid very little and both were successful. I was able to research my doctor for the meniscus surgery, and chose the same surgeon who works for the national French football team. The MRI I did before cost me 60 euros out of pocket. Taxes are higher in Europe but everyone is covered without rationing. Stop whining about 'anti-Americanism' and look for practical solutions to problems, or is that asking too much from neanderthal neoconservative nincompoops like most of the buzzers here?

What arrogant pieces of schit! Don't even take time to read what they are voting on!

Democratic Leader Laughs at Idea That House Members Would Actually Read Health-Care Bill Before Voting On It
Washington (CNSNews.com) - House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that the health-care reform bill now pending in Congress would garner very few votes if lawmakers actually had to read the entire bill before voting on it. Hoyer laughed as he responded to a question from CNSNews.com about whether he supported a pledge that asks members of the Congress to read the entire bill before voting on it.

But than again, we have some that don't know what the meaning of the word "is" is. And need to be given the definition of sex.
And with that mentality, they think they know what health care is best for us?

Sure thing Terrorld, I am an American and French citizen (dual); I work in France. I am not a member of some elite. I have a six month per year contract at a bank for public relations and the rest of the time I work in independent PR for various clients. The UK is a poor example of social healthcare. But France is not. Neither is Germany, where I worked in PR as well. During that time, I had injured by meniscus and had an MRI done in 2004. Guess what, I was not charged extra in France for 'pre-existing conditions.' Yes, I pay about 45 percent taxes. But a return in the form of quality healthcare, also when I am not officially working for a company. Also excellent public transport and other public services (I do not need a car). Buzzers here should stop crying 'communism' when most have not lived abroad to compare for themselves. Something I have done.

Well let's see, I live in Florida where it cost 3 times more money to treat the same illness than if you were to get sick anyplace else in the US.
Maybe because you don't live here you don't see the waste. Instead of trying to fix the system here, the mainstream media says OMG!!!! we could loose 28,000 jobs by reform.
I say cut your losses and fix the damn thing, I myself suffered under private ins to the tune of 900 a month in premiums and their denials, as well as fifty referals to their group doctors who were so bad, I finally went out of pocket 5k, to see a real bunch(Mayo Clinic).
It's funny only the poor doctors and the drug companies are biatching over this. My grandmother used medicare once, didn't smoke or drink and lived to 97, so if you feel grandma may suffer, get out your GD checkbook and stop thinking the Gov't. needs to support your rich arse.
Hey move to Miami you want to see Medicare at work.........what a joke.................

Facts show that if the government health care plan does get passed that is the only health care plan that will be available unless you have the money to purchase a plan on your own. They plan to make it so competitive that no other insurance will be able to compete with them.

How about improving the healthcare we already have by making it more affordable instead of throwing money in the trash for a "new" plan that has no proof at all that it won't end up costing us even more than what medicare and medicaid already do? How about requiring you be a citizen of the US or pay cash up front if you're not if you want to use our medical facilities? Non-citizens don't pay taxes and rarely pay anything at all on any of their medical bills and I'm tired of getting stiffed with their expenses. I can't go to a bank I've never been a member of and take money from it, so why should this be any different?

Yankee...I hope they do make it that competitive....under the current system, too much emphasis is placed on profit and too little on health care...many treatment options are much more sensitive to cost than to actual health benefit.

Kayray...Most states have a "no turn-away" law at public health care providers facilities such as county hospitals. One of their biggest expenses is routine treatment provided to patients in their ERs. As you point out, the current health system fails to address a multiplicity of issues, not the least of which is actually providing quality health care. I think the President has some excellent ideas in his plan.

WASHINGTON - Sweeping healthcare legislation working its way through Congress is more than an effort to provide insurance to millions of Americans without coverage. Tucked within is a provision that could provide billions of dollars for walking paths, streetlights, jungle gyms, and even farmers’ markets.

The add-ons - characterized as part of a broad effort to improve the nation’s health “infrastructure’’ - appear in House and Senate versions of the bill.

Critics argue the provision is a thinly disguised effort to insert pork-barrel spending into a bill that has been widely portrayed to the public as dealing with expanding health coverage and cutting medical costs. A leading critic, Senator Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican, ridicules the local projects, asking: “How can Democrats justify the wasteful spending in this bill?’’

Why should the small percentage of Americans who are uncovered AGAINST THEIR WILL incur these billions of dollars on the rest of us who ARE covered and those of us who CHOOSE to not have coverage?? Making such a huge fuss for that slice is NOT WORTH THE LONG TERM DETRIMENT on the rest of us. As noted, NO ER IN THE USA TURNS AWAY ANYONE WHO TRULY NEEDS HELP. So they are ALREADY covered in emergencies.

Yankee....I am not supporting these pork-barrel add-ons, but the current system is insanity....we have too many people in this country who have little access to medical care and the available care is too expensive.
