A Trojan Horse of a different color for a Federal takeover of healthcare.

        Because of vocal public opposition, the public option is not likely to pass in the Senate so Democrats are now calling for an insurance cooperative. They would like to see a group of at least 500,000 people covered under a national plan.         An Insurance Cooperative is the same Trojan Horse of a different color for a Federal takeover of healthcare. Creating a single monolithic insurance policy is the exact opposite of what should be done. What should be done instead is a multitude of different policies in every State from which consumers in any State can choose. The proposed insurance cooperative will take the economy further away from a free-market system that functions with minimal government regulation....

NOBAMA-CARE. Obama Care needs to be dropped entirely.

I don't want bones thrown our way over a supposedly (and probably contrived) statement that the public option is dead, so they can get all of the rest of this monstrosity through the door.

Obama has made it clear that he is not trustworthy on this issue. Read his own words.

"I have not said that I was a single payer supporter.” Pres. Barack Hussein Obama, Aug 11, 2009

“I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its gross national product on health care, cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single-payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. That’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we’ve got to take back the White House, we’ve got to take back the Senate, and we’ve got to take back the House.” - Barack Hussein Obama, June 30, 2003 to AFL-CIO

Keep fighting...we have them on the run.

The slumbering giant is stiring.

Why not just buy that 500,000 a one way ticket to Havana. It would be a propaganda coup for Fidel and his brother. The Selebius 500,000 would get their “free healthcare” and Americans would be done with this Communist “healthcare” nonsense. Everyone would be happy!

The fact that the RATS are so desperate to pass healthcare legislation should be a wake up call to everyone. What’s in it for them? God knows, they NEVER do anything unless it benefits them somehow.

Tort reform, interstate sales of insurance, national insurance major medical pool for the otherwise uninsured, privatize and incentivize finding and prosecuting fraud, send illegals home (yeah, like that’ll ever happen).... there are so many things we can do other than this rotten rotten bill.

[NoobRep]

Don’t let up for a second people. The RATs are likely trying to lull people to sleep, declaring the end of Obamacare, when it reality they will try to ram this thing through in the dead of the night.

No public option. No coops. Get government out of health care.

Yes to Medical Savings Accounts. Yes to tort reform. Yes to breaking down the state barriers.

Any Republicans or Democrats who "compromise" for the sake of popularity now on this important principle involving future generations should be recalled at the next election cycle!

This is not about a frivolous question of which provisions are acceptable and which are unacceptable. This is about a power struggle between the principles the founding generation were willing to stake their "lives, property, and sacred honor" for, and those who, throughout the history of civilization have arrogated unto themselves power over other people's lives.

The current "issue" called "health care reform," or its equally obnoxious semantic twin "health insurance reform," is just the invasion of liberty by arrogant elected officials which has finally aroused citizens who, heretofore, ignored the decades-long power grab by those who were supposed to protect "We, the People's" constitutional principles.

Now, citizens are seeing that it is a matter of "principle," not an issue of semantics over wording.

They should not allow their elected representatives to be coopted by "blue dogs" or any other "wolf in sheep's clothing" that would allow what may turn out to be the most important watershed moment in the history of American liberty to be further threatened. Now, Conrad and Sebelius, and others, sensing the voter mood are throwing out "compromise" talk this weekend, all to punt for better position down the road. Seize the moment for the sake of posterity and just say, "no"!

A word from the author of our Declaration of Independence regarding citizens and oppressive government might give some backbone to today's citizens:

"The most effectual means of preventing the perversion of power into tyranny are to illuminate . . . the minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that they may. . . know ambition under all its shapes, and . . . exert their natural power to defeat its purposes." - Thomas Jefferson

And, for more wisdom from the same source:

" . . . this is a tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sin and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers. . . have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follws that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."- Thomas Jefferson

Well said brother! The democrats are now saying that the bill has not been written so how can we the people demand answers from our Congresspersons? The issue as you pointed out is not the specifics of the bill, as much as it is the fact that any bill will be a "government bill", and a takeover of private industry.

May I use your comment on my website? It's great!

This is worth repeating in toto.

Right on brother!

You are a  man of few words, but one with great wisdom. Very succinct!
