Very telling. It’s good enough for the serfs, but not for the elites.

This needs a video campaign from the GOP... Democrats in Congress want to force your healthcare option but won’t join it themselves.

This should be a no-brainer - has this been articulated anywhere? I havent seen this anywhere but here on FR but, admittedly - I havent had the TV on much these days.

“I’m confused. They now have government-run health insurance. So what is it they say they don’t want?”

They do not want the plan that calls for the rationing of the healthcare for us mere peasents.

Congress must adopt this plan as their own, or they must drop it.

Thank you for the link, how awful. If (and I pray not) this were to go through, we can expect terrible consequences and the American people will have the eye opener of their life. The quality of care will not compare to what we now have, there will be problems at every turn, wait times, denials, red tape, etc... People are complaining and think things are bad now, just wait.

I'm going to hang on to this link and add it to my list.
