- I have a good idea. Since people like me, who are self-employed, pay an obscene amount for good healthcare coverage, in addition to subsidizing Orin Hatch & his staff's health coverage, let's cancel their policies and give them the joy of going out into the "free market" to give them a taste of the "real world". Maybe then they will get off their behinds and work in a constructive manner to address this problem. Disgusting, the people who obviously are in the pockets of the healthcare special interest groups.

- The "question" that really needs to be asked of Rangel & every other congress-person, including the one who is ram-rodding this through without serious consideration...."will you give up the tax-payer provided insurance coverage you currently use & enroll in the program that you want for the rest of us"????

- We have to have a NOT for Profit Health Care System to keep corruption and overcharging out of it. Just watch TV, all the prescription drugs being sold for everything you can imagine. And who do they always pound into your head to see and talk to ....your DOCTOR (or, really, your DRUG DEALER with an RX pad.) Doctor gets his cut on the visit and his cut from Big Pharma. The Biggest Drug Dealers there are: DOCTORS! Oh, and they give you the freebies at first to get you hooked. NO PROFIT Health Care System should be the way. Tax Dollars for Health Care INSTEAD of WARmongering which we specialize in, especially during the Bush/Cheney Regime.

- Rangel's comments reminds me of this joke:
A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going.. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault." - Reply to this comment
- I'll admit that Bush wasn't a very successful prez and also that the Dem majority made accomplishing anything in the last 2 1/2 years impossible. How anyone can still be happy about an Obama presidency is beyond me. We watch as American ideas fall one by one to Obamas socialist ideas. His ego is astounding as he demonizes the elite and upper income, such a hypocrite since he has made a lifelong climb to attain upper status and has. When he used the phrase ordinary Americans" while campaigning, I thought he was relating, but he was actually letting most everyone who voted for him know that he is above them. News in So Cal reported a protest at the Bel Air gates where the Govenator lives. Interviews had quotes like "he has everything and we don't", "its not fair, we should have a jacuzzi too", in heavily accented English. Later reported that most were ?home health care workers?, paid by the state and riddled with fraud, with a large number of illegal alien invaders employed. This group is one of Cal?s biggest taxpayers drains and a big part of the current fiscal crisis, but no one talks about that. Oh yeah, lets no forget to make sure they have health care. All are politicians suck. I may never again vote for an incumbent.

- "Congressman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) argued that the reason the House and Senate proposals appear partisan is because Republicans have not offered reasonable alternatives.
I understand - Rangel says we must go with the Unreasonable, because the Republicans haven't given a reasonable alternative.
Is this guy on DRUGS ?
And, if Obama were to decide to overhaul Social Security by using the same methods, (ie taxing the wealthy, causing inflation, and borrowing from the Chinese to make our money worthless) and then say he needs it done by Aug 16th, would this Moron Rangel make the same statement ?
Sheese - drop dead, liberal. - Reply to this comment
- Hatch is another Republican trying to kill any health care reform. Democrats and President Obama are much more representative of the will of the people of America, while Republicans represent corporations and the rich! Let's get rid of the rest of the Republicans in the next election!

- BTW-the Rethuglicans are pushing the canard that you won't be able to get the physician of your choice under a public option. First its not true and 2nd you can't under any American health plan being offered now. Try going to a doctor who is not in your plan's network, see if your company will pay for it. They won't. You've also got insurance company bureaucrats deciding which treatment is appropriate and what medications they will pay for. No company has a right to profit on my or your health. Once we get this legislation in we should push to elect people into office who will commit to single payer health insurance.

- I lived in Canada for many years and was under the Ontario Health plan. Whenever I need to see a doctor, I saw the doctor of my choice. If I had to go to the hospital I presented my card and was taken. I one spent three days in the hospital at no personal charge. Oh wait, that wasn't true. I took the option for a semi-private room and they deducted $1.00 a month from my salary. Orrin Hatch and the others the others opposing the public option are so deeply in the pockets of the health insurance industry and big pharmaceutical companies that they have to defeat it or pay their bribes oops I mean campaign contributions back if they can't. Rethuglicans and "conservative" Democrats, the best legislators money can buy.
