House Dems want to tax the rich for health care (AP)

AP - Key House Democrats decided Friday to raise taxes on the wealthy to help pay for health care legislation, capping an up-and-down week for President Barack Obama's top domestic priority. At the same time, Democratic leaders tried to quell concerns among moderate and conservative lawmakers about other elements of the bill. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

What do you stupid bastards not understand about the cost of this
scam? WE, WORKING AMERICANS, CAN'T AFFORD THIS PLAN,
especially when you fast tracking fools also want to pass a blanket amnesty thereby making illegals totally eligible for benefits they don't earn and contribute little to. Why don't you miserable wretches help our Elderly and our Veterans and ship the damned illegals back to wherever the hell they came from! Go ahead, you morons, keep ignoring mainstream America. YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE. YOUR DAY OF RECKONING WILL SOON BE UPON YOU, EVEN IF YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO COMPREHEND WE MEAN
BUSINESS, AND NOT YOUR BUSINESS AS USUAL. It will be a change WE can live with; WITHOUT YOU!

Glad to hear that the BlueDogs are taking a stand, but I don't think they will be able to hold out.

I think Pelosi and company will threaten these holdouts and coerce them into accepting the bill.

That's your federal government in action folks

NOTICE: Please refrain from calling politicians Scumbags. The condom is a wonderful invention. It prevents pregnancy and helps stop the spread of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Politicans on the other hand are the single most polluting creatures in the universe. They are the sole cause of global warming and the biggest spreaders of fecal matter on the planet. Stop defaming the poor scumbags they are innocent!

I would vote for it if all Senators and the President and his family will be required by law to use it for the rest of their life.

Artificial timeline set by Pelosi inhibits intelligent debate, and will ram another terrible law into effect. If this is not studied long and hard, we run the risk of creating yet another fat, bloated, expensive, bureaucratic, and ineffective government program. Folks, if you're going to do it, inspite of all the evidence world wide that it's a bad idea, at least make an ATTEMPT to get it right.

Democrats demand changes? Are you kidding me, this bill would have been rammed through in short order if it weren't for a ground swell of opposition from citizens that see right through what's going on. It's outrageous, no scandalous, the spin that continues to surround this legislation. Out of this 47 million uninsured only about 8 million truly can't get insurance, the 47 million includes about 8 million illegals, young adults that don't want insurance, etc. And while were on illegals let's secure the border FIRST, before any amnesty is even considered. Prove that you can seal it! Illegals are a large part of the cost of healthcare amounting to 100's billions a year from ER use.

So the Unions will be exempt from contributing and partaking of the grand plan for government run health care that the rest of us are going to be forced to have.

With gold plated health care already at their disposal Congress will be exempting themselves as well.

...and the hypocrisy continues...

In Missouri, health care costs have risen over 12% a year for the past 5 years due to people who don't pay their bills. The average bill is under $400. They won't even pay it off at the rate of $10 a month. Of course, that would eat into their cigarette and lottery ticket budget.

So hospitals stick it to people who can pay, like me and the doctors who pay for office space. This is Obama's spread the wealth plan.

And Obama says I CAN KEEP my insurance plan and pay for theirs, too. No Thanks.

The real problem is they are pushing things down our throat faster than it can be swallowed. Immigration Social Security Foreclosures are all MUCH more important and now its free health care for all? How in the hell are they going to pay for this? OH yeah we are gonna pay for it geez how can I help when I'm in the hole like the rest of you? Is Minnesota the dumbist state? I guess West Virginia is having a sigh of relief. A wrestler of a governor who now lives in Mexico and a poor excuse of a comedian as a senator Land of a million morons not lakes

Congressmen are up for election next year. We need more control in our government to stem the flow of all this wasteful spending and bailouts to special interest groups like the UAW. We need a Republican Congress to put some breaks on all this spending Obama's asking for.

People of The United States of America... WAKE UP! The Dems are killing this Country at a record pace. Cap and Trade didn't work in the UK. It only raised their utility bills. This health care plan will not work. It will only lower the standard of care we receive in this Country. They are moving fast and furiously to get their plans in place before the Country REVOLTS. I don't know if we have time to wait for the next election. They have to go NOW!
