I’m sorry what …
I’m sorry what liberal source are your ignorant comments based on? There’s no point in knocking you for being a blissful idiot when it comes to what this “reform” actually is and will do. Noone wants nothing to be done. What is going on now will further destroy what is already established. People already go to the ER for health care.

I don’t understand …
I don’t understand why so many Americans could be
against helping getting health care for all American.
Look at what is happening with the system today.
Pretty soon most Americans will be going to Emergency
rooms for health care. The people who are fighting
this reform will have bad karma. You will see when you
don’t have health insurance.

$245 BILLION “DOC FIX” Legislation
Sen. Stabenow (D-Mich)
“Dem leaders hoped to PASS THE PROPOSAL QUICKLY, so as to DISASSOCIATE it from the larger health reform proposal.”

“Were doing the doc fix (formula to pay doctors treating Medicare patients) first so as not to get it confused with health care reform,” Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said.
“Were going to try to pass it as an emergency-type of spending so that it DOESNT CONNECT to the health care reform bill & FIGURE IN AS A COST OF IT.”
