Let’s just hope some Dems don’t want to form a ‘Gang of 14’ - or however many - to deal with healthcare. Isakson would be right on board.

and am sensitive to the struggles the average, hard-working American faces

Really bad form.
No one wants to be talked about as "average."
It makes them feel like they're being talked down to.
This makes Isakson look like an elite trying to feign a connection with "the little people."

Perhaps the gentleman from Georgia will read the Constitution and realize the Government has NO authority to be anywhere near this business...Health care is NOT a governmental concern. The explosive growth in costs didn’t start until the Feds started meddling, back in the mid 20th century.

The solution is to get the gubbmint out of the health care industry, completely.

Isakson has had some recent health issues. He should think long and hard about what his care would have been under Obamacare. He’s old enough for the death panel.

Repeal, Johnny, repeal.

Did you know that Johnny baby is a big supporter of Fannie and Freddie?

Why? Because he is a Realtor first and Senator second. He is one of the blockers of GSE reform.

So if you wonder why we are stuck with Fannie/Freddie, know you know.

People like Johnny lied to us.

I sent my congressman, Mike Rogers of Alabama, an email on election night. I congratulated him on his win, the republicans big win, told him that the country gave them a mandate to govern, thus GOVERN! I told him that getting rid of ObamaCare, and putting back the Bush tax cuts, illegals, needed first priority.

Normally, within six weeks or so, I get the form letter, yada, yada, yada. Well, not this time. Unfortunately, we were out of the house and got home to the voice mail, however, an aid to the congressman called me from D.C. and said they had my email, that the congressman agreed and they were going to work on those very suggestions that I mentioned!!!! WOW, I had NEVER got a response call before. Only a letter! Maybe these guys are finally getting it, that THE PUBLIC HAS A VOICE AND THEY NEED, BETTER START LISTENING!!!

I was looking through my emails to Isakson and Chambliss, and I came across this info that I had written them concerning a compromise bill [this was written before they rammed through zerocare]:

“We do not want a compromise/bi-partisan bill, including:

The Healthy Americans Act (HHA)/Wyden-Bennett.

The Healthy Americans Act (HHA), or Wyden-Bennett, is designed to be a compromise bill that will ‘save the day.’

Apparently this bill was written by a Democrat and a Republican, and it has the support of bi-partisan co-sponsors.”

I had forgotten about this. It concerns me because they may actually already have a compromise on the agenda, and a bill already on paper.
