Drunk with power. I think the lawmakers dont understand healthcare at all, not the people lol.

One side wants to EXPAND COVERAGE=Costing us TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS
One side wants to CUT COSTS= Costing us LITTLE money

The Dems are just proving this has NOTHING to do with healthcare and everything to do with a power grab. The Summit proved that was a setup to just say "they tried" to be bipartisan.

I totally agree with what Mccain said, for once. He is right, the PROCESS is just as important as the PRODUCT. Dems have excluded the republicans during this WHOLE PROCESS. They didnt need any republican support and they STILL COULDNT PASS HEALTHCARE. So now, 2400 page DEAD IN THE WATER BILL LATER, they want to say "you join us now or you dont care about the American People" is such utter bullshit i cant stand it.

How can you come up with some 2400 page bill, then NOW want to include the republicans, but only include them if they AGREE with you? That is not how our system works.

The republicans have some VERY good points. Buying across state lines, no caps on coverage, Allowing small businesses to band together to get better purchasing power, tort reform, etc All those have positives i can see NO NEGATIVE to any of them.

The dem plan, all i see is negatives. Their numbers are cooked (collecting taxes for 4 years BEFORE benefits begin) in an effort to say its "deficit neutral" is an outright lie to the american public.

Forcing doctors to be paid less because of insurance companies.

its all just shit.

I say let them pass reconciliation, it will end this crap FINALLY and let them focus on jobs. It will kill public outcry and maybe in Nov 2011 we will have better options, and we can repeal this thing
