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.

"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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

healthcare 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.

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.

to dwg: Medicare has Not reduced or controlled costs-- Fixing costs and reducing costs are not the same.

And, the insurance companies only pass the costs along, they have no bearing over what the costs are, either.

We need real experts who can manage the supply chain. If every hospital or doctor's office is buying equipment and supplies from their local medical supplier, I guarantee they're paying through the nose! The medical industry is one of the last industries to embrace

supply chain management, and every manufacturer and supplier is taking advantage of them as a result.

We still need to open up interstate commerce to buy insurance across state lines to keep the insurance companies

on their toes, too.

And we need torte reform.

Whatever this convoluted mess is, it certainly should not be called healthcare reform. This is one area where more "dithering" or "delaying" is needed. Or maybe our leaders need to bring in experts if they can't do a satisfactory job themselves. Passing a sub-standard bill that doesn't address the key issues just for the sake of passing "something" is an insult to Americans.

I'd like for someone to explain how it "reduces the deficit"?! This is

deceptive and misleading. I believe this administration, with their propaganda and their pattern of re-naming things to make them sound better-- are even worse than the villains they claim they're protecting us from.

hope and change, change and hope......

tailwind: you're stereotyping. Conservatives and Republicans are no more religious than Democrats are all flaky left-wingers. I'm conservative, but I'm definitely not religious and I'm not from the south, either.

Conservatives are for less government;

fiscal responsibility, strong defense, free market. I personally am ok with regulating the markets.
