Only the Ignorant do NOT see that happening here with ObieCare2009, and "Cap&Tax", AND the "Stimulus" and the buy-outs, bail-outs and take-overs!

The "Hopey, Changey" KOOL-ADE must be pretty strong stuff!....don't you think?

The number of uninsured put out is over 40 million. Unless you include illegals, according to the Census Bureau's numbers it CAN'T be that high. Explain that.

Isn't it sinking in yet? This is a manufactured crisis. To dumb it down to your level, THERE IS NO CRISIS.

My sister runs one of the largest hospitals in the Southwest. It is the primary trauma center for her part of that state. The folks she hates to deal with are the government agencies, not the insurance companies. They underpay everything, question stupid stuff and take forever to cough up the money. The insurance companies aren't saints, but in general pay more and faster for the same treatments, and argue less.

First hand data, untouched by the mainstream media. So where is the crisis?

It ain't YOUR money, so go for it.....................right?

Just " GIMMIE....GIMMIE....GIMMIE"!

Just look at the proposed medical spending of ObamaCare2009. The presentations I saw , show a sharp decrease in spending as the people got older. After around age 55 the amount of money alloted for health care drops drastically.

The resources will be spent on the young,...not the old.

And by the way, LIBBIES, ALL of US will get old, sooner or later.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it!

Don't tell me that there will not be rationing of health care and death panels! Someone will pay and it will be the Seniors. Some compassion!

They buy whatever they want in the way of multi-media ads, lawmakers and, just maybe, editorialists and their bosses.

It is NOT an abortion bill and this editorial is a propaganda dirt bomb.

What does she do at Kroger’s when they ask her “Paper or Plastic”? Start a search on her I-Phoney?”

Does it really require the Govt., controlling Health Care in the USA, to cut FRAUD out of a GOVT PAID PROGRAM???????

Explain plesase why THAT is necessary.

"On Thursday, thinking Democratic senators would balk at the idea, Sens. David Vitter (R-La.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) introduced the gimmick health-care amendment.

"The idea, broad-brush, is that whatever government option is in the bill, every senator and every representative should be enrolled in it," Vitter told The Hill. "No other possibilities, no other choices."

"It's called leadership," Coburn said. "If it's good enough for everybody else, we ought to be leading by example."

But Democrats called their bluff, and the Republicans wouldn't allow it. When Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) tried to become a co-sponsor of the amendment, he got the cold shoulder.

So Brown, joined by Sens. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.), and Al Franken (D-Minn.), forced his way onto the amendment with a unanimous consent vote."

Apparently the current administration can only "cut medicare fraud" if Obamacare2009 becomes law.

Otherwise the current administration will keep paying the %500 BILLION each year in Medicare fraud. It can ONLY be stopped by ObamaCare2009.

The current administration KNOWS fraud is there, but will only "CUT" medicare fraud if the current administration is allowed to control health care in the USA.

What crap that is !!! HOPE AND CHANGE..........................W O W !

I sure hope it changes!

When that mess went to the Senate, ole Bill told 'em to pass "anything", now! You can ALWAYS GO BACK and CHANGE IT LATER!!!

I remember that. I'll bet that Walksabout remembers that. Apparently you don't want to. I guess you concider that an "inconvenient truth".

The bills offered by this leadership have been models of obfuscation. They are deliberately written to be almost impossible to decipher, and then offered up with almost no time for reading. What happened to the "transparency pledge"? What happened to the time each bill was going to be posted on the Net before a vote?

If this bill will reduce fraud and waste, why not do that first, to prove I'm wrong?

To all that claim no claims get paid, who is paying, since SOMEONE is? Medicare pays less than insurance, so it's not them.

What part of illegals not being covered don't you understand? Are you really that dense?

However, FactCheck points out that Obama DID float the idea of “billing veterans’ private insurance companies for treatment of conditions connected to their military service, including war injuries.” Obama administration officials insisted “that their proposal would have no financial impact on veterans at all. But the American Legion strongly protested because “a veteran’s treatment might cost enough to reach maximum insurance coverage limits, leaving the rest of the veteran’s family without health care benefits.” Two days later the Obama administration dropped the idea.

It’s a good thing veterans organizations are keeping a close eye on this administration.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained."Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country," Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood,just money. With this country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

Geo. Voinovich is retiring. GOD only knows who will get that seat! Charlie Wilson does whatever Madam Speaker tells him. And Harry Reid has his foot firmly on the neck of Sherrod Brown.

All it takes is a "little" jingle for the district--------------very little in our case--------or a choice chairman seat on some "whatever" committee.

Government Health Care: Throw $2 Trillion dollars at the Department of Motor Vehicles and call it "Blue Shield"!!!!
