TAMPA – Bitter divisions over reforming America's health care system exploded Thursday night in Tampa amid cat calls, jeering and shoving at a town hall meeting.

"Tyranny! Tyranny! Tyranny!" dozens of people shouted as U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor struggled to talk about health insurance reforms under consideration in Washington, D.C.

"There is more consensus than there is disagreement when you get right down to it,'' Castor offered, immediately drowned out by groans and boos.

She pressed on, mostly unheard among the screams from the audience of more than 200.

"Tell the truth! Tell the truth!"

"Read the bill!"

"Forty-million illegals! Forty million illegals!"

Appears to be a halfway objective news story.

From those on the ground there:

Looks like the SEIU - Service Employees International Union goons caused the trouble.

They hurriedly organized the meeting and packed it with their goons and tried to prevent opponents of ObamaCare entry.

It is amazing that they are so stupid as to think that free healthcare will be decent healthcare. Where do they shop?

I just want to be around when one of them has to wait almost 12 or 15 hours to be seen and/or is denied a medication that they need to stay alive.

Screaminsunshine was planning on being there. I hope we get an eyewitness report soon; though I think it was supposed to run from 6pm until 9pm.

Screaminsunshine, are you back home yet? How did it go tonight?

Right. Word is that Castor met with the obnoxious SEIU goons before the meeting and stacked the venue with them and anyone wearing an Obama '08 T-Shirt. Real Americans were kept outside.

The democratic process is being railroaded.

I think our subject of arguement should be,
If the Government run Insurance is good enough
for us, then it should be good for all the politcians
as well. That includes 0bami and the Swimmer as well.

That will never happen. I think they get to keep the coverage they have right now, for life. This crap they are trying to shove down our throats is just for us peons.

Here in the Central Valley of California we have one of the only county hospitals left in the country. We also have one of the highest numbers for illegal aliens in the country.
Our county hospital’s emergency room has a wait of 5-9 hrs. That is in an emergency room. Of course all the illegals use it as their main doctors office since it is free.
This is our future for ‘free’ healthcare.
And oh yeah, this hospital runs in the red year after year. It is nothing but a black hole sucking in taxpayer dollars.

What you describe is not so very different from here. I work for a healthcare co-op with occasional waits of 2-3 hours. When people get mad and leave, they may not realize the next stop on their list at the local ED is a 6-8 hour wait, depending on their triage.

Still this is nothing compared to what is in the future for us and for our children. The latter is what breaks my heart and has prompted me to look into international moves.
