Funny how you asked every question except "do your support or do you not support the health care reform in Congress?"

Only people like Rasmussen ask questions like that, after all, his constituency are gamblers, they don't gain anything from a poll that tells their liberal commissioners exactly what they want to here.

I believe that is actually what got the Democrats in this mess to begin with. They tortured polls until they told them what they wanted to hear, and they ignored the honest statistical testimony because they didn't want to here it.

Why not test drive the top three plans on the table now. Test them in several cities across the country for 5 yrs. The whole thing is like a blind date. See how they work?

Too much false info. is out there now.

I'm from Montana. I have talked to our Senator Max Baucus about the finance committe bill before. I think it is a good start but you have not put any teeth in it. It does not make the insurance companies do anything to be more competative. The public needs more options to offset thier picking up millions of new mandated customers. Allowing insurance companies to cross state lines is good idea but it should be setup on a regional basis. America is a large country that has drastically different cultural ideals and needs. Localism is a fundamental necessity that would simplify accountabilty and help in the understanding of specific regional needs propritary to those regions. We need choices out here not compromise in government that basically does nothing to dramatically change the way we do health care in this country. Change is what we voted for and change is what we want.

I want what the same plan for everyone U.S. citizen that the members of Congress have, from the day they are born until the day they die. If we can pay for them - we owe it to ourselves too! Insurance companies are running healthcare - telling Doctors what they can and cannot do and who to do it for. We have the best healhcare in the world and only a few have real access to it.

Based on an admittedly cursory review of the pablum that was passed today Id say that several Congressman and Senators will be looking for new work in about a year and more two years later.

I look forward to doing my share toward that effort.

Think they'll extend unemployment benefits before they are out on the street themselves?

Carolyn - you took the words right out of my mouth!

I certainly wouldn't have any doubt that when the U.S. Government says they will do all of the healthcare reform and save money at the same time they are being honest. They have certainly always been honest in the past!!! Where will all the savings from Medicare and Medicaid occur. If there is so much money available through this source, why have they waited until now to do something? Where is Tort Reform in their bill. Perhaps it is there, but we certainly haven't heard or read anything about that aspect. Could it be because the trial lawyers have the democrats in their back pockets. Certainly I don't think that could be the case. Those guys in Congress can't be bought! They have always been the epitamy of character. All I can say is America get ready to pay and pay big. Once the bees are out of the jar, you will never get them back in the jar again. All the democrats want to do is get their foot (and hands) in the door and into the U.S. citizens pockets, and we seem to be inviting them in to do so. As I have always stated, "If you can't trust the government, who then can you trust?". Good luck to all of you who want the government in total control and to those of us who don't!!!!!

Is there any intelligent life out there? Do you actually think that our government is thinking about us, you are nuts. They only want our money so they can spend it on anything they see "good" for us. Why not meet one year and do away with bills instead of writing new ones. I am totally satisfied with my medical plan. I spent 20 years in the US Army and for the first time I am asshamed of our government!!!!
