"Don't let the American people go another year, another 10 years, another 20 years without health insurance reform in this country." The president's plea for his top domestic priority, which faces an uncertain fate after nearly a year of work in Congress, earned him huge applause.

"It is vital for our economy.."

Obamas challenging the GOP to support his plan - big deal.

Of course Yahoo News reports it exactly as instructed by the White House. What a pathetic excuse for a news source.

It’s Democrat right down the line, mandatory insurance, Medicare-like service, and Medicare-like payments to the providers. However bad you think it can get, think again, and then thank a Democrat.

If it’s so vital, why didn’t they pass it back in August? That was the first time that ding-a-ling Pelosi said she had all the votes she needed.

Ann Coulter says health care is a dead issue. I hope she’s correct.
