Remember before the health reform talk started, Democrats were "elitists"?

But now that the democrats wanted health insurance for everybody, they are all lazy bums that want handouts. How did things change so fast?

    Media control public opinion, and it reports whichever will get the most ratings.

    It is irrational drivel to claim it is liberal biased when its desire is advertising dollars.

    The current health care bill is almost exactly like the Republican proposal during the 1990s. The only reason they oppse it now, is to secure support from an irrational base, that is more about winning power than accomplishing anything positive for Americans.

    You're correct. With the "death panel" and rationing faux fears from opponents and from the for-profit health corporation allies (lobbyists), a group of Americans was frightened of the unknown (a.k.a. "socialism"). After the highlights of the new law were negotiated, the advantages to the middle class, those uninsured, underinsured, and mainly children with preexisting conditions trumped the scare tactics.

    This health reform is a big step for politics, but small benefit for the USA. This President had added 2 trillion more dollars to the unfunded entitlement programs. Together the next five generations will be taxed into poverty paying for them.

    So yes, in Nov. think smaller government and a larger economy.

    This European style socialism does not suit 70 percent of all red blooded Americans. Nearer does Obama who is a pleaser and appeaser. He is putting the interests of the minorities in front of the Majority. Such fascism is not needed or wanted

    I didn't know the Democrats managed to get health care for everyone. Did Universal HC/single-payer get added to the law while I was sleeping?

    Now we know why they call them talking points. Because that is all they are. They can change from moment to moment depending on what nut job is blabbing on the radio.

    President Erkel's HealthScare is not about care or reform or health.

    It is a Marxist take over of 1/6th of the economy.

    It will not withstand the challenges in the courts.

    In Republican world nothing whatsoever makes any sence. In their world lies, intentional misinformation and fear-mongering is their #1 priority.

    The people making that accusation were rich, old white Christian men who send their kids to private school. The accusation is insane.
