What is/are your thoughts of the U.S. Senate using reconciliation for passing health care?

Right now in the halls of Congress, the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representative is considering passing the Democratic Party U.S. Senate version of reforming health care. If this bill passes in the House of Representatives, the Democrats in the U.S. Senate want to do a parliamentary procedure (like you find in Great Britain) where you have a simple majority to pass the health care bill. Right now, over 60% of Americans do not support Obamacare and Democrats do not care about the will of the American People who pay their salaries since Democrats just Live In Everyday Sin and treat the American People like they do not exist.

Do you believe the U.S. Senate should use reconciliation to pass the trillion dollar health care bill that will bring socialized health care in the United States. If this bill passes, it will turn one of the best health care systems in the world into the socialized nations of Europe. Should reconciliation be used to pass Obamacare or should the U.S. Senate require at least 60 votes to pass the measure?

When it comes to reconciliation, I want to say to the Democrats "Why are you turning our nation in Europe? The founders of our nation who signed the Declaration of Independence and the soldiers of the American Revolution in the Continential Army put their lives on the line so that future Americans not yet born (which include all those who answer this question) could one day live in a nation of Democracy, Freedom and where Parents Chose what Best For Their Children. We do not need a massive health care bill that will destroy the best health care in the world and there are better solutions out there by the American People who pay your salaries while you continue not to listen to us."

I feel it is a way to cheat the system and it is shameful.
We need to vote out all incumbents. We need term limits.
These people have taken our liberty, and have their hand in our pockets.
This is not the country our forefathers planned for us, they have stolen it.

It is true that reconciliation has been used in the past by both parties, but not in a bill that had such a wide sweeping effect on the citizens. This is not a budget bill, but a monster bill that the American people do not want. The only parts that are up for reconciliation are the budgetary items contained in the bill. Where the real crime is occurring is in the House with the Slaughter Solution. There does not even have to be a vote on the bill, just a vote on accepting the changes to the Senate bill. Technically the bill will leave the House for the Senate without a vote from the House. If this passes, the voters should clean the House and the Senate of all available seats in November. It is evident that neither Obama nor the Congress cares what the constituents want or demand of them. They just do as they please without regard to their country or it's people or their needs. If they cared, jobs would have been the urgency.
On November 02, 2010, 100% of the House and 1/3 of the Senate are up for voters choice. Choose well.
Get out, vote out.

Reconciliation would be seen as yet yet another little bit of trickery, alongside with Reid's back room bargains. you think of the Dems are figuring out to purchase it now? only wait. Who could probably opt for the monstrosity that's the Senate well being Care bill? sturdy economists (Martin Feldstein of Harvard) help you appreciate that it will fee extra, and much less human beings would be coated. think of that.

Both sides have used reconciliation in the past but never for a bill of this importance. The idea of using reconciliation on something that effects 1/3rd of America is or should be unconstitutional.

This President is hellbent on passing this bill with any means possible; bribery (with our tax money) ,
"arm-twisting"/threats & promises, regardless of the will of the majority of the people.
My opinion; I think that it sucks.
The American people knew that this guy had socialistic leanings & associations when they elected him. Well, they got what they wanted. Unfortunately, he's going to destroy what's left of our precarious
economy.
