Half the battle won on health reform

This is my first comment, and would like to say hello.

It's hilarious that one Republican representative voted for the bill. Some people will do anything to receive publicity. Rep. Cao of Louisiana will get all the press he wants this upcoming week.

democrats suck and so does this reform

I love your common sense & optimism Mike!

this is good.it is best for old aga

their job is to do what we ask of them.

Totally stupid! This is not reform, it is "take over". it is a power play by liberalism. And as to "procedural antics by the republicans".. More power to them! It's amazing that the same "antics" used by the Dems to block judges etc become bad when used by the Republicans to block the take over of 1/6 of the US economy!

Amen! What's that saying?? When the shoes on the other foot?? I am so sick of the hypocrisy! All this bill will do is keep people poor so they keep these jerk offs in power.

Oh and clearly the overwhelming majority of Americans would like health care reform. NOT HEALTH CARE TAKE OVER! Which is all this bill is.

Wizard of Oz. =Þ

To bad this reform costs 1 trillion dollars. Oh and you mention medicaid which is hilarious since we are running out of money to even support it.

heyy,,, this is my first comment on allvoices

hi everyone this is my first time here

THis is not a good day for America. As you saw the final vote, this thing was rammed and jammed thru even with 20% of Democrats voting against it. The overwhelming majority you are talking about are the 10-15 million people who are now currently unable to be insured for one reason or another. That is 5% of the population. That is not a majority. That is a small minority. The reforms that were needed could have been done at a lot cheaper cost instead of trying to redo the entire system.

A simple expansion of medicaid along with covering those with pre-existing medical conditions would have been enough.

This is simply an excercise in Social Engineering who's ultimate goal is to wreck our economy, ration heathcare, expand government, suffocate our children & grandchildren with mounds of debt, and take control of 1/6th our economy. Anyone that has any faith in our governmkent in their ability to run anything, needs not look any further than the H1N1 vaccine boondoggle, Cash for Clunkers and the Stimulus Package.

First time on here..seems to be really interesting.

first post on allvoices

this seems to be an interesting site

You are truly incredible te propaganda you and Joiner spin who seems to be your cartoonist after all. And interesting once again that this Fort Hood incident came up just during the week that this behind closed doors Saturday vote, mind you, was happening.

And a solid majority of Americans do not support socialization of our health care system at the federal level at all, or are you that much of a Communist and a Global Socialist that you also have no concept of our form of government, or the amount of Americfans literally now ready to go to war now with this Congress that has a less than 15% approval rating, and Obama who may or may not be an American, or simply another British subject brought in by the Rothchild's who actually control this country and most of the world through their centrral banks in one way or another - and now are not content unless they also determine eventually who lives and dies.

And Ms. Rothchild's article (who is a Harvard professor teaching her global socialism agendas to our youth now at $100,000 a pop, and being paid by the U.S. taxpayers actually also which is quite funny given that her family prints our currency, after all.

And you spins and lies are getting more and more apparent. Olympia Snow, after all, is from Maine, and Main actually at this point should become a part of Canada - sicne it is Bush territory, and Bush is a liberal global socialist also just as Obama. And Ms. Snowe simply another of their devotees and worshipers - and Mains is a border state that has struggled due to all those Canadian visitors that visit the hospitals there without insurance for which the citizens of Maine either end up with the bills, or if they are insured waiting lines - since so many Canadians come to this country for treatment their health care plan is that "successful."

That so many needing higher levels of care come here, and then also get their bills picked up courtesy of the American taxpayers under that other behind closed doors bill providing health care for foreigners such as those in Arizona - the Mexicans that visit the emergency rooms for cases of the flu (the regular flu, not the now "made up" swine flue pandemic in order to again build up the "economy" for the health care and financial sectory, while terrorizing the public once again during a recession, a repeat of the 70's and unbelieveable the lack of true imagination and utter Nazi socialistic moves that continue now under Obama as with Bush.

And this travesty is not at all Constitutional, and treason is, after all, teh highest capital crime really in this country. And each and every one of those individuals that voted for this bill really worse than Benedict Arnold.

And the Obama's approval rating is sliding toward the toilet faster than Hayley's Comet. And you do know what that is, right, as a claimed "child of the 60's - if that is true.

Since it would appear you knowledge of actual U.S. history since the 60's is totally inaccurate, as I have in the past which was never responded to - again, which news organization did you formerally write for - besinds that foreign owned newspaper, the Huffington Post?

No. This is completely misrepresentative.

very true... seems like an ok site. first timer...

kewl nice work! keep it up!!!

i see isee very very wrong but right i guess you know what i have no idea what to dsay ha
