Well Ned, that pretty much says it all.  The only comfort I get right now is watching his poll number go down....down....down. 

Gentlemen, you have to agree, that our health care is in a complete shambles.  The health care costs are so high, for the person that is working, that they are almost un afforadable!  When I retired from the City of Muscatine, December 28, 2006, IF I would have continued my health care policy, it would have cost me $1032 a month, for the same coverage that I had as an employee, (for a lot less cots)!  I understand that this $1032, is now almost $1600 a month for the newest retirees!  Health care is a money making thing for the hospitals AND the Insurance Companies!  SOMEBODY needs to rangle them in!  JMHO  Shackman (Tom). 

But shackman, how much are your freedoms worth? Timothy Geithner (the tax evading treasury secratary) says there will have to be tax increases on the middle class, how much more can u afford to pay in taxes? Pelosi says it will be a single payer system in order to get by her......do u really want to trust the government with a 3rd healthcare system when the 2 they are running now are floundering and soon to be bankrupt? Do u really want the government deciding what procedures u may have? It opens the government up to dictate the way u live your life....what ever vices you have right now that may affect your health the government will regulate when they have to pay the bill, smoking, drinking, anything nobama decides is bad for u ....if barry decides too much red meat is bad for u...the government can decide to outlaw.....what i said here may sound stupid til ya really think about it.........our government has a serious inability to do anything right....so they need to leave healthcare alone...........i'm a conservative...and i dont even trust my own party to do the right thing concerning healthcare......everything our government does for us costs us another freedom...it isnt worth it.....
