The only "code red" here is that America needs health care reform.

Do the Republicans think that health care costs AREN'T causing fiscal damage to our economy?

Why are they lying?

Robocalls are illegal in Minnesota. Classy.

I wonder why people will believe a lie over truth wihtout checking anything out. Why do some people think they are always right and if others don't think like them they are wrong

To Ethan. I'm a fiscal conservative, Republican, tea-party type. I want health care to be reformed, but I want free-market reforms. I have never heard a Republican say he wants zero reform. My personal focus is that health insurance should be tax-deductible for both individually procured policies and employer-provided policies, or for neither. The employer tax deduction constitutes a govt subsidy for employer-provided health insurance, and locks people into getting health insurance through their employment. It's an unintended consequence of WWII wage controls, and it's the primary reason we are in such a mess 60 years later. Dems don't want to change it because a big attraction of union membership is the ability to bargain for benefits. Also, the consequences of the disparity in tax treatment are a little hard to explain in quick-and-easy terms. McCain talked about it, but I never heard him explain it well. Hope you will consider my idea.

Yes we need health reform, but some of the problem is the current government run health care! Why not do something that will cost the taxpayer ZERO? National Tort reform -- similar to the Texas Medical Tort reform (done as a constitutional amendment so lawyers could not undo it).
Also a big step would be to eliminate the fraud, abuse, overbilling of Medicare and Medicaid. IF the government is so good at health care then why is veteran’s health care a joke?

Here is a simple, bipartisan, health care reform plan. Health care is life and death, it should not be politics.

The Constitution does NOT authorize Congress to force the US citizens to buy health care. And if this plan is so great, WHY do Obama and every member of Congress and the Senate refuse to be part of it? Does this give anyone a CLUE?????

Yellow belly, sniveling cowards are the DNC. You want it passed, pass it. What losers

Why do we not really FIX the real problem ?? TORT reform...Interesting, the both biggest DNC supporters UNIONS and LEGAL are exempted from any reforms..What PHONIES..How can they (the democrats) look into the mirror..and why is this so called reformed health insurance not good enough for the President and members of congress ?

There is NO BILL to vote on. Nancy Pelosi said we have to pass the bill so the American People can know what's in it. This is like signing a blank check; something no-one is their right mind would do. Why should We The People?
A right is something you have with you at all times. such as the right to speak freely, the right to worship as you please, the right to defend yourself. Health care is something you have to get from someone else, therefore, no-one has a right to it. Nobody.
The president's health care reform issue is about one thing and one thing only: getting their foot in the door to keep it open until
Universal Health Care can wiggle through. Then the political powers have the authority to invade the privacy of every man, woman, and child in America. If you think otherwise, you are in for a rude awakening. Someone once made the observation that Generals do not want a bigger house, they want greater command:a larger army to dictate to. It's the same with politics. Can you thing of any politician who does NOT want more control.
The right to privacy is the foundation from which all rights proceed and giving government the authority to invade everyone's privacy, at the most private level, puts all other rights on detention. A government doctor can declare you unfit to vote because of a mental condition, unsafe to carry a weapon for the same reason, unsound enough to speak in public, etc. Control is what they are after.
To those of you who think that admitting the right to privacy allows abortion by those who would choose it, I say you have been co-opted by the enemy for the purpose of keeping the right to privacy out of your demands. A fetus has its own DNA and therefore is an entirely separate body than that of the host mother. The right to privacy does not extend to the taking of another life. But you allow the left to define that fetus as part of the mother's body, and are therefore part and parcel of their deception.
The devil's not in the details folks, it's in the principle. Health care reform is all about getting their foot in the door and keeping the door open until Universal Health Care can find a way in. And Universal Health Care violates your right to privacy at the most private level giving leverage to politicians over the lives of every man, woman, and child in America. At that point we are no longer a free people, we are subjects of the political class, a class that is willing to sing a blank check and make We The People pay for it.

This is just another way for the government to manage and controll us. It can not save money when it insures more people. I destroys private enterprise because insurance companies cannot compete. Why do we ignore Canada and Australia and other countries where it takes months to get help. Please vote n.
