I keep hearing that we are 37th in developed countries in terms of health care. Where do they get that number? According to the World Bank there are only 36 (including the US) listed on their High Income Economies. The "Quality-of-life-index" only has 30 (again including us). So we are somehow below some phantom countries in terms of quality care? We are also worse than countries (who I won't mention) who routinely send their patients here to the US for care since they don't have neither the time nor the facilities? And we are also worse off than others whose death rate from diseases like breast cancer, diabetes and hypertension is 30% to 50% higher than ours? Someone is smoking dope here and it ain't for medicinal reasons! Is reform needed? Probably. I can't say yes for sure since no one seems to be telling the truth about anything anymore. But if we are to beleive the current adminstration, and vast amounts of savings can be had from modifying existing programs to cut the waste and fraud, then let's start there! Prove to me that you actually have the best interests of the tax-paying american citizen at heart and I just might listen tio what you have to say about other programs. I have an open mind (as I believe do most Americans) So let's discuss the problem openly taking the time needed to get to the heart of each issue and we will have soemthing we all can live with. By the way, I'm going to tell everyone I know to vote out EVERYONE currently in office. Let's start fresh. Those in congress keep saying that they don't need term limits since we have the power to vote them out whenever we want. Then let's use that power and start a new revolution. I’m a little confused.

The Democrats have enough members in the House and the Senate to pass anything without one single Republican vote. The truth is, Democrats are blocking this. Historically, Democrats have blocked health care reform. Barack Obama, who claims to want to provide for everyone, voted against EVERY reform measure when he was in the Senate. You can see the list here: <a href="http://www.onebigdog.net/obamacare-is-about-government-control/" rel="nofollow">Big Dog's House</a> We do not need this bill. It is a complete overhaul of the system to provide for the small number of people who are uninsured. Besides, when are people going to man up and provide for themselves? Does government (read: working taxpayers) have to provide you with everything? How exactly are Republicans to blame for this?

(Thomas Paine) We have the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed world. Conservative estimates are that over 120,000 of you dies each year in America from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies. This is what being 37th in quality of healthcare means. I know that many of you are angry and frustrated that REPUBLICANS! In congress are dragging their feet and trying to block TRUE healthcare reform. What republicans want is just a taxpayer bailout of the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry, and the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare industry. An insurance bailout is all you really get without a robust government-run public option available on day one. These industries have been slaughtering you and your loved ones like cattle for decades for profit. Including members of congress and their families. These REPUBLICANS are FOOLS! Republicans and their traitorous allies have been trying to make it look like it's President Obama's fault for the delays, and foot dragging. But I think you all know better than that. President Obama inherited one of the worst government catastrophes in American history from these REPUBLICANS! And President Obama has done a brilliant job of turning things around, and working his heart out for all of us. But Republicans think you are just a bunch of stupid, idiot, cash cows with short memories. Just like they did under the Bush administration when they helped Bush and Cheney rape America and the rest of the World. But you don't have to put up with that. And this is what you can do. The Republicans below will be up for reelection on November 2, 2010. Just a little over 13 months from now. And many of you will be able to vote early. So pick some names and tell their voters that their representatives (by name) are obstructing TRUE healthcare reform. And are sellouts to the insurance and medical lobbyist. Ask them to contact their representatives and tell them that they are going to work to throw them out of office on November 2, 2010, if not before by impeachment, or recall elections. Doing this will give you something more to do to make things better in America. And it will help you feel better too. There are many resources on the internet that can help you find people to call and contact. For example, many social networking sites can be searched by state, city, or University. Be inventive and creative. I can think of many ways to do this. But be nice. These are your neighbors. And most will want to help. I know there are a few democrats that have been trying to obstruct TRUE healthcare reform too. But the main problem is the Bush Republicans. Removing them is the best thing tactically to do. On the other hand. If you can easily replace a democrat obstructionist with a supportive democrat, DO IT! You have been AMAZING!!! my people. Don't loose heart. You knew it wasn't going to be easy saving the World. :-) God Bless You jacksmith — Working Class Republican Senators up for re-election in 2010. * Richard Shelby of Alabama * Lisa Murkowski of Alaska * John McCain of Arizona * Mel Martinez of Florida * Johnny Isakson of Georgia * Mike Crapo of Idaho * Chuck Grassley of Iowa * Sam Brownback of Kansas * Jim Bunning of Kentucky * David Vitter of Louisiana * Kit Bond of Missouri * Judd Gregg of New Hampshire * Richard Burr of North Carolina * George Voinovich of Ohio * Tom Coburn of Oklahoma * Jim DeMint of South Carolina * John Thune of South Dakota * Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas * Bob Bennett of Utah LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.
