Earlier this week Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid attacked Sen. Jim DeMint, saying, “Just this week, the Senator from South Carolina said we just need to ‘get out of the way and allow the market to work.’ In other words, he says, let’s do nothing.” Reid continued, “Allowing the market to work is code for letting the greedy insurance companies” continue to deny care to sick and elderly Americans.

Reid and Pelosi are a disaster.

Something about Government run Healthcare scares me. I imagine an IRS agent wanna be denying everything. Getting surgery would be like an IRS audit.

If you've ever dealt with Medicare, you'd change that to "everything about Government run Healthcare scares me"!
