WHO will stop him and . . . save us? I have never been so scared.I fear for our very way of living and once gone, I don't believe we can get it back. I grieve for our wonderful, and once proud America!

Portability: Individual ownership of one's healthcare as opposed to employer or other third party ownership.

Pre-Existing Conditions: An area where public assitance could be of significant help. A government based "underwriting" of coverage could be investigated.

Catastrophic Illness: There has been a lot of rhetoric regarding this very real problem. This was "looked at" in the 1980s but was turned down. Once again, perhaps a seperate insurance with public underwriting could also work here.

Add to these a real program to reduce Fraud, a major cost (30%) of Medicare and Medicaid. Additionally, a real program of Tort Reform is needed. here again is a cost factor that is estimated as high as 15% of medical patient cost.

All the rest of the items of this bill are nothing but a blatant liberal left/Democrat attempt to take over and control a huge chunk of the peoples lives.

BTW I have commented an several aticles here, These have never lost the banner of "being under Moderation. There have never appeared on my computer any comments following mine. What is wrong here. Also I cannot find anywhere on this blog to report a problem

I've watched as many as possible and agree that angry citizens shouting at the same time allows no one to hear them. I understand their anger and frustration with a corrupt Washington that has turned its back on American principles because I feel the same way! We must be passionate, but orderly, so that the likes of Pelosi and other liberal hacks cannot dismiss the vocal rebellion as mobs and astroturf! She and many others need to be dismissed. We must not be conned by their words; we must look at their actions!

My main point is to not believe the claptrap that the politicians and the President give as responses to the questions of the people at the meetings. They will say and promise anything to shut you up or try to answer with their flim flam. None of them are truthful to the American people. Harry Reid is on record saying it doesn't matter what anyone says, THEY will pass the Health Care Legislation (and the public be damned)!

There are very, very few politicians who are for America. The vast majority are for themselves, their ideology, their Party. It ends there! To be wise we must do as some wise man said: "Trust nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see".

We must begin to impose our own term limits on them by voting them out of office; and, even with the best of them, not let them serve more than two terms. It is our only hope.

JFK said January 20, 1961;

"We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans – born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage – and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country."

We must never forget that the people who are making these laws (health care” and “cap & trade) will never have to live under them.

George Soros could care less if gas was $20 per gallon, just more money for him.
