		<description>Regarding Obamacare, Pelosicare, Harry Reid care:  What is being done to us is criminal! 
Is it not unconstitutional for them to force their health care down our throats?  Is there absolutely nothing that we can do to stop them? 
I&#039;ve called my Senators, Reps.  I&#039;ve signed petitions to no end.  I&#039;ve written, etc.  Even though my representatives are against what is being done, we are held prisoner by the Obama, 
Pelosi, Harry Reid Administration.   
 
In view of the way President Obama, Rohm Emanuel, and czars, run the White House - (Chicago Style), I will most likely never, ever cast a vote for any one from Chicago.  Just to clarify that statement, I did not vote for President Obama; nor any of his promised change.  I, for one, could see through his political speeches.  
 
Give us back our Freedom! </description>

		<description>The size of the bill alone should be clue to the inefficiency. The hidden corruption. THE WASTE OF COST AND NEEDLESS PROGRAMS AND EMPLOYMENT. THE SPECIAL INTERESTS. THE FAVORTISM TO COVER GOVERNMENT BIAS... to bring us to the government&#039;s intent to destroy the free market, control the population, make us sick when they want and have miscalculations of costs anytime they want. 
 
Puppet Pelosi claims the &quot;consumer choice&quot; will have no cost! Is she brain dead? Or does she think we are??????? The ones that DO NOT BENEFIT WILL BE THE ONES FUNDING IT!! On top of covering our PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to the expenses to our costs of private health insurance WHICH EVERY AMERICAN PERSON SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR!!!! with few exceptions.  
 
This country cannot afford, Nor do the people deserve dead brains in a government of a FREE NATION. </description>

		<description>Pull up Yahoo News today.  FACT CHECK:  Health insurers&#039; profits 35th of 53. 
 
In his October 26, 2009 article, Associated Press writer Calvin Woodward writes &quot;In the health care debate Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making &quot;immoral&quot; and &quot;obscene&quot; returns while &quot;the bodies pile up.&quot; 
 
Mr. Woodward goes on to say, &quot;But in pillorying   
insurers over profits, the critics are on shaky ground.  Ledgers tell a different reality.   
 
Health insurance profit margins typically run about 6 percent, give or take a point or two.  That&#039;s anemic compared with other forms of insurance and a broad array of industries, even some beleagured ones. 
 
Profits barely exceeded 2 percentof revenues in the latest annual measure.&quot; 
 
Mr. Woodward went on to list claims of insurance industry critics: 
 
&quot;I&#039;m very pleased that (Democratic leaders) will be talking about the immoral profits being made by the industry and how those profits have increased over the Bush years.&quot;  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D. Calif., who also welcomed the attention being drawn to insurers&#039; &quot;obscene profits.&quot; 
 
&quot;Keeping the status quo may be what the insurance industry wants.  Their premiums have doubled in the last decade and their profits have skyrocketed.&quot;  Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, member of Democrat leadership. 
 
&quot;Health insurance companies are willing to let the bodies pile up as long as their profits are safe.&quot;  A MoveOn.org ad. 
 
Mr. Obama and the government are in control of the majority of banks in this country since bailing them out with taxpayer money.  Take a guess at the profit margins of these banks that the government allows to charge up to 29.9% interest on credit card balances.  Where&#039;s the outrage from Obama, Pelosi, and all the other liberal Democratics who are so concerned with the plight of the common people? </description>

		<description>It is no less than astonishing that this measure is out there, on top of the House bill, when clearly a majority of Americans don&#039;t want it. The public is being ignored by the pinheads. </description>

		<description>Wasn&#039;t anyone listening to the town hall participants, did they read the e-mails sent in by their constituants?? I always thought they were HIRE(elected)to serve the people and that their pay came from the Treasury which got money from us in the form of taxes.  What happened, I e-mailed Connolly and got back a form letter saying he was for what I was against?? They don&#039;t read the bills, &quot;Too many pages&quot;, we can&#039;t see the bill before a vote because &quot;THe people just don&#039;t understand&quot;. My cousin was a REp.(R-Ohio) during the Watergate and he sent me a copy of the motion to impeach, funny I understood it fine.  Is the real reason they won&#039;t show the bill is that we will see the addiontional PORK? Or that we might be able to figure out how much this is going to REALLY COST us?? In all my 77 years this is the sleeziest congress ever. </description>
