		<description>After the dust from all discussion and debate has settled the fact remains that if something is not done to change the domination of insurance companies and pharmaceutical giants and all other cost manipulating factors throughout the health care industry, over the next ten years the financial security of most Americans will be bankrupted if faced with a catastrophic medical condition. Why stick our head in the sand and deny how the numbers add up?  Health care giants have taken our economy hostage. Health care costs are skyrocketing and there is no end in sight unless government steps in and legislates regulation and reform. Those who are crying the sky is falling simply do not understand the reality of our condition and are willing to listen to the republican talking heads that tell them what to say and think so they get emotionally charged and become the ignorant warriors fighting the battle for the rich...  
 
Whoever invented insurance was getting ready to rob themselves.  The numbers are always stacked so the House wins in this industry.  Rather than paying for insurance, if people would put the money they spend on insurance, throughout their lives, into savings or a safe mutual fund in the long run most would all be ahead of the game.  With that projected rising costs of insurance and health care over the next decade a significant number will be priced out of the market, placing an even greater demand on emergency rooms who pass the high cost of those unpaid bills onto their other customers who have insurance further driving up insurance premiums.  
 
The fact is this is a racket where the average American is losing and if government doesn&#039;t step in these enormous mafia industries will be extorting your life&#039;s wealth as the price of your life in the very near future and you will be powerless because the present laws created under republican rule all favor the corporations. </description>

		<description>Friends, 
The only way to stop the BS is to NOT put up with it. They want us to be complacent and they want us to sit back and say &quot;oh well&quot;. We need to start by trying to vote them out in November. For here on out we need to vote with our hearts and our faith and not our wallets. We need to call, fax, or email them more often - letting them know we disapprove. We need to teach our kids what&#039;s right and what&#039;s wrong, what history really was, and not trust our education system to do so. For me, this is a spiritual war... I will use my weapon of choice which is prayers... and I will never worship The State and forsake my religion. God Bless and help us! We must resist... we must follow God&#039;s law, not theirs. </description>

		<description>So I think it is safe to say we all dont seem to agree with the bull that the senate is putting out. However this bill is still far from being over it will be altered and rewritten a few more times, by then most of the american people will be so confused that they give up..and just be sick of it. and let it be.. Whatever happened to protests on the steps in washington?? cant we start voting these people out of office?? We the people need to be heard. By the time My kid is an adult or her kids are adults they wont know any better. We the people need to figure out something now. I may not know everything I may not be the smartest crayon in the box but I do know that socialism is not the way to go.. and it is not what our forefathers would have wanted..So I ask anyone what do we do to stop this BS?? </description>

		<description>Bill Lee, you are right on target.  I have to agree with everything you say, however, you say americans should speak out to Washington. We have, no one is listening that I can tell.  I write, call, never even an acknowledgement to my complaints or suggestions.  I believe the Obama bunch, like you said, wants to hurt us. They don&#039;t want to drill, I feel, because some corporate oil company just may make some money. They want to take the country to its knees, then rebuild it to the socialist standards they desire.  Control, control, control, and taking your health and 1/6th of the economy into control, plus cap and trade will do it. Third world countries can&#039;t achieve our levels, so we go to their level, spread the wealth my friend. </description>

		<description>The House Health bill just passed, Nov.7, 2009. 
 
Remember when the French people wanted bread, and Marie A. told them, &quot;Let them eat cake!&quot; 
 
If this bill is so good, then Congress should abandon the over 200 private insurance plans they voted themselves, and be fined if they don&#039;t sign up for this health bill. </description>
