Does he mention the pain pill for granny when she needs an operation? Or all the doctors supposedly cutting off legs, tonsils etc. based on a price list? Does he repeat his statement that “every bit of evidence proves you are getting medical treatment that isn’t helping you”???

Think people think. Cutting costs means cutting benefits. His sugar coated sentiments are NOT what he intends for you.

Our collective failure to meet this challenge – year after year, decade after decade – has led us to a breaking point.

It's not a "breaking point" nor a cliff nor a precariously balanced and ready to plummet anvil. It's just a bunch of politicians in a big field like a bunch of cows chewing on money wanting to grow govenment. Don't fall for the "if-we-don't-do-it-now..." BS!

The politicians and the lobbyists - they want to move "forward" into more green money to graze on.

"I am not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last. It has now been nearly a century since Theodore Roosevelt first called for health care reform. And ever since, nearly every President and Congress, whether Democrat or Republican, has attempted to meet this challenge in some way. A bill for comprehensive health reform was first introduced by John Dingell Sr. in 1943. Sixty-five years later, his son continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each session.

Socialism is antithetical to the foundations of this great nation. A lot of bad ideas have come into America's governance since Teddy Roosevelt was president.

Walter E. Williams subbed for Rush last Friday and spent the first hour going through them.

Things like income tax were only going to be a tax on the rich, persons making over a million dollars. Social Security was never going to be used as a national ID card. Etc Etc Etc.

Incrementalism is selling out American liberty.

Under this plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a pre-existing condition.

Consequences? How would that effect an employer's health plan for employees?

It will provide insurance to those who don’t.

No it won't. It doesn't go into effect until 2013. Why the rush to pass the legislation if it won't help Americans for 4 more years?

I notice a certain term that wasn’t used. The option that dares not speak its name.

Well, judging by the excerpt, it looks like he may be cutting down his usage of the word “I”.

We’ll have to wait and hear the whole speech..
