The ins co is nice enough to hire lobbyists with the $ I pay them to be sure they keep the legal robbery going-there is enough to also lobby the propaganda system to be sure the suckers scream loud to keep being ripped off.

Hey, when is the last time you called for tech support and got someone that couldn't even speck English?

Ah, it's called "outsourcing".

Unemployed? That is the Republican answer to a better economy.

Live with it.

Reading through some of the objections from GOP posters, it is clear the GOP has injected torrents of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt-- all emotions-- into the
discussion. But it runs more deeply than that. For years, the GOP has opposed every major reform of health care in this country. The GOP was opposed to Medicare, to Medicaid, and now continues its reaction to the one improvement
most Americans say they wanted yesterday.

Some 72 million Americans (47 million UN-insured and 25 million UNDER-insured) urgently need reform.

The parties which oppose reform also profit handsomely from the current system. No surprise, there.

We pay more for health care than anyone else in developed countries, yet life expectancy in Jordan, Bosnia and Herzegovina is greater than in the U.S.
Our health care system is an example of How Not to develop a health care system.

This should be a no brainer!

The fringe is so far off base they're not even on the field. They're in the cheap seats in the far right upper deck.How can we lose the game to the folks in the stands blowin' spitballs? Strap it up. Focus! Don't give an inch! Make positive gains, don't choke and fumble. Focus, focus, focus, we are Americans. We will not be beaten. Never look back. Dig in. Don't give ground to the fringe. We can't be beaten. Now is the time. Move the ball forward, keep moving the ballforward. What's in your heart? Are you a chump or a champ?

Now that we have passed health care reform, we Democrats can move on to the next campaign promise. CLOSING GUANTANAMO. That should be easy. I say we put the inmates in Kansas. Most Americans don't know that it exists.

Don't get sidelined with the fringe in the cheap seats. Get on the field. Take your stance. Move the line, open a hole, make yardage. Don't sit with your knitting tweedeldeeing until reform fails. Strap it on!

The truth, the truth, the truth, tell the truth over and over and over. No government takeover, lower premiums, stopping insurance companies from doubling your premiums in the next 10 years, no death panels, no payments for abortions, coverage for all Americans at reasonable prices, availability and affordability for employees of small businesses which will save small business men and women real dollars, no dropping of coverage for Americans who forgot to mention a small medical problem when they filled out their insurance applications, no dropping of coverage when you get sick, saving the American economy from bankruptcy, medical coverage that can never be taken away, tell the truth and the actual facts, we can't lose if America understands the truth. Now is the time.
