After watching Democrat's attempt at healthcare reform over the past several months, I'm convinced we need to get

the politicans out of it completely.

We need to experts from private sector, who have expertise in distribution and supply chain management to "truly" reduce costs. The Democrats have totally Bungled healthcare reform. (gov't. idea of cost reduction is cost-plus, or, fixing costs -- they're clueless!

Cost is the #1 problem. Before you can

reduce premiums or cover more people, you have to Reduce costs first.

Private sector has been forced to reduce costs in order to stay in business, so why not get a national supply chain manager like Wal-Mart who

can drive down those prescription costs?

Why not get a Wal-Mart to drive down those medical equipment costs? Why not get a Wal-Mart to drive down standard medical products that are used in hospitals and doctors offices? Why not get a Wal-Mart to even set-up small 24-hr. clinics all over the country so people don't have to go to the emergency room with its high overhead?

We need the experts to truly reduce our

costs. Hey, maybe Wal-Mart needs to get into the health insurance industry as well. Get the experts, and we'll see results.

The government's role should be to open up interstate commerce so we can buy health insurance across state lines; torte reform.

There are signs that Obama's turning

previously private sector jobs into federal jobs. Its troubling because

the private sector moves much faster, uses latest technology, and is more innovative than our our bloated, bureaucratic government.

I could go on and on, but first: Most Americans did not have "government takeover" in mind when they said we need

healthcare reform!

Talk about lowered expectations. Just pass it, it doesn't matter whether its a good bill or not, nobody reads it anyway. These low standards speak volumes about the democratic party. Its nothing but politics, forget about solving problems.

Taxpayers, remember this when its time to vote.

hahahaha that's right,liberals, keep focusing on that New York race... hahahahahah

I'm sick and tired of hearing about those poor women who've "lost" because the taxpayers don't want to pay for their abortions! This is 2009, people. I'm pro-choice, but I

don't agree that taxpayers should be footing the bill for abortions, or for viagra, for that matter. There must be some consequence for your actions or you'll keep repeating them.

why not .... between MSNBC, Salon, Huffpo, she's getting Lots of FREE publicity! hahahahahah

The bill won't be posted online for 72 hrs.,either. They

obviously don't want anyone to question any part of it.

The democrats should be paying attention to what the "Taxpayers" say, instead of the Lobbyists (AARP, etc.)

But, hey... I guess that's why we have Republican governors in Va. and N.J., now!

"O" didn't watch the election? hahaha, yeah, right. You bet your ass he watched it. And he knows that if NY had had a primary up there to nominate a conservative ---instead of a group of people in a pizzeria deciding amongst themselves who the conservative would be - conservatives would have won, because Hoffman was within points of winning, which is remarkable for someone who only had 30 days to prepare.

But, I actually prefer Democrats stay in denial about this.

Explain how an administration that's anti-business, (and doesn't seem to have any business experience or savvy),create new jobs. By encouraging unions? By penalizing and taxing businesses with healthcare reform and cap and trade?

By allowing banks that have been bailed out - to deny small businesses of loans? Etc.

We've got the wrong people in office for this job.

Hoffman came awfully close; if he had more time, he Would have won. Democrats are in denial and as far as I'm concerned

they can Stay in denial.

its considered a landslide.

Well, "hope and change" obviously means different things to different people! Americans didn't vote for government takeover of our country. Most Americans appreciate their freedom, they're not anti-business and they want to keep as much of their paycheck for themselves instead of sharing it with "everyone".

I'm not a fan of Palin, but I find it bizarre that Joe Biden would dare attack Palin. As VP, he's transformed himself into the laughing stock of the Democratic Party, with foot in mouth disease, he's the butt of jokes -- however, Boxer, Reid, Pelosi, Barney Frank, Burris, Charlie Rangel, to name just a few--- are not far behind.

Wow, it amazes me how much attention Palin gets from even high-level democrats. She really has a spell over them.

I don't know how many times I cringed when I heard Democrats say, "we have to pass SOME KIND of health reform"... well, now

we're getting it. 1) It won't reduce our premiums 2) it doesn't cover all the uninsured. So, what the hell did they accomplish, other than managing to spend more money.

The democrats totally "blew" healthcare reform. They focused on politics nstead of Reducing Costs. As with everything else

Obama promised, its a failure. All talk, no action.

Most hard-working, tax-paying Americans are conservatives. This scuzzy lady seemed more concerned about social issues such as abortion and gay rights - wedge issues ---not solid conservative issues like Less Government, Less Taxes, Fiscal responsibility, pro-jobs and "true" health reform.

Most Americans are too sophisticated and intelligent than to pick their candidates based on abortion or gay issues.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....to the contrary, most hard-working, tax-paying Americans Are Conservatives. They realize that conservatives have the most solid platform: Less Gov't., Less Taxes, fiscal responsibility, strong defense, pro-jobs, and "true" healthcare reform, etc.

On the other hand, you have liberal platform that consists of

social programs because democrats believe Americans are too stupid to take care of themselves-- they need government to take care of them.
