I'm surprised you can read. No one in any way is trying to prevent people from having opinions, but they definitely are trying to fight ridiculous comments with truth. Garbage like "Death Panels" or "Obama isn't a citizen" are the types of things that typifies the things conservatives throw out there.

Now this is a good idea.... a simple straight forward idea. Only problem I see, what if your parent is one of those losers? Do children suffer? Should the children be taken away from the parents? I mean if the parents can't get help, what happens to the kids? You'd have to create a ton of drug programs and foster homes to make this system work without children suffering, but the principle makes sense. Nice idea

The only business that will likely not repay is AIG and this again is a company bailed out by Republicans to begin with. My final comment is to plead with all of you to come to the table or the debate with the idea that perhaps you may be wrong or that a path other than yours may be correct. I really feel that I do this. I've heard some really good ideas about healthcare from Republicans recently (capping malpractice lawsuit awards, healthcare rebates for low income workers etc), but in the end there are people with NO JOBS that have NO income that need help now. There are people losing their homes and lives because of the current healthcare system. Its not the BEST in the world. I've lived in several countries and trust me, we are good, but we aren't the best. No matter where you go, if you have money you'll get quality care. The purpose of the president's healthcare plan is to allow those in America who lose coverage or have none will be able to get it. Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. Wake up, its the christian thing to do.

Did any of you people go to school and learn basic logic? How in the world does TARP or bail outs of the auto industry have anything to do with communism. Dealing with "ifs" is of no value, but given that the Bush administration passed a $300billion stimulous of their own and also pushed and passed the TARP program how can anyone not see the likihood that they would have passed another stimulous and also continued the business bailouts? Its very likely that McCain would have done the very same thing, but done the stimulous through tax rebates and military spending. In the end, all the TARP money will be repaid, or close to 90% anyway and this will be done with substantial interest.

All this Marxist talk is insane. I am not in favour of governemnt run healthcare, but even if I was, it doesn't make me a communist. Conservatives seem to love social programs when they help their interests (Subsidies for farmers, subsidies for American businesses, Medicare, Social Security), but when a very similar program is suggested that's aim is to allow everyone to have basic healthcare its now supposed to be part of some massive communist plot. Where in the world is the correlation?

I find all this "take back America" and "Stand up for America" slogan stuff disingenuous and ridiculous. I'm completely fine with people having a different opinion and different views. If you don't care whether people other than yourselves have healthcare, thats fine. We all don't care about the same things. If you don't trust government, I'm not going to argue with that at all. The thing I find so disheartening is that you people seem to feel that yelling, disrupting and at times lying is the way to get your positions to be put in place.
