Crowd estimates for tonight's health care town hall meeting vary. As the event began, a speaker said there were at least 1,000 people in attendance. An aide to U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Vestavia Hills, who hosted the meeting, estimated double that number.

Dick Morris tonight on Hannity was saying what I have though ALL along. Obama wants to take the health care from American seniors and give it to younger illegal aliens.

He wants to buy votes with illegals, younger people and minorities. His war is on senior and baby boomers white plus the American military by putting more trrops into Afghanistan and feeding the Taliban (Pakistan) intel. He does not want troops back in America.

Too late. The stimulus bill has already set in motion a national commission that can drastically change medicare as we know it.

It will apply cost effectiveness standards set by the council to determine what medicare will pay for, rather than today’s standard of treatments deemed safe and effective.

You are right about that. Read this: “OBAMA’S BILL TO HURT ACTIVE MILITARY, FAMILIES, ALSO RETIREES” Saw this in a letter to the editor section of my local newspaper. The letter reads as follows, “In Obama’s healthcare bill,there is a provision that increases costs for family members of active duty military members and increases minimum out-of- pocket requirements for military retirees covered under Tri Care for Life (TCL) insurance. In the case of retirees, this could amount to $2,888. per person per year. The link is http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf. See Chapter 9,Options 95 and 96. This means Obama plans to take money from active duty military families and military retirees, from medical coverage that they earned and were promised, in order to pay for a plan that covers the unisured and illegals.”

Obama talks out of every orifice...none of it is true, and all of it is crap.
