WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama renewed his push for health reform Saturday, arguing he felt "a sense of urgency" in moving his proposal forward and blasting those advocating delay.

"Today, after a lot of hard work in Congress, we are closer than ever before to finally passing reform that will reduce costs, expand coverage, and provide more choices for our families and businesses," Obama said in his weekly radio address.

"That is why I feel such a sense of urgency about moving this process forward."

Obama wants Congress to approve his health care reform proposals by the end of the year in order to fulfill one of his key campaign promises -- providing health care to the 46 million Americans, some 15 percent of the population, who currently do not have any medical coverage.

She was shaking her head at Rick S. and the Friends saying—no, no, we can keep our private insurance.

I think Ferraro, like Boxer and Pelosi and some other Democrat women, actually believe some of the BS they peddle.

The officers who ran the Nazi concentration camps believed they were effective leaders and good family men. It's called compartmentalization.

Geraldine Ferraro? She hasn't been anybody for at least ten years. Stupid talking head then, stupid talking head now.

Investor's Daily Business has run a series of articles on this:

The original article is here.

Henry Waxman's deluded and lying response to the original article is here.

And IBD's response to Waxman's spew is here.

I highly recommend you read all three links. This is an excellent example of how politicians lie to us.

Let me see if I understand what is being advocated:

obambi wants us to sign a lifelong contract affecting the health of our families and friends without reading it.

A law professor advocating this has no morals.

You make a mistake if you think my reply was addressed to you. Killing the messenger was NOT my goal.
