I don?t just talk, I walk the walk! Last night I went to my grandma?s house, sneaked into her purse and stole her Medicare card. Then I went home and burnt it up. The last thing she needs is Obama trying to provide her with healthcare. We have the best healthcare in the world and Grandma was getting it long before Obama ever came on the scene. Well, no more. Now she can just pay for it out of her SS check. At least until I get back over there and steal that too. NO GOVERNMENT HELP NEEDED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! THIS IS AMEERICA!

What rock does Katie Couric live under? Politics is what happens every time there is a proposition for change - health care reform is no difference. I don't believe "Washington is broken." I believe Washington is on the mend.
America was Bushwhacked for eight consecutive years. Finally we have a president and administration that relates to the common men and women who make America great. I see a president who knows what it's like to struggle financially to pay for a higher education or to not have money for medical bills.
"My country tis of thee" is truly what heath care reform is about. Thank God, we finally have a president and white house administration that gets it.

Katie's loving smile and longing eyes never waivered during this puffball interview of a dispicable thug. Thankfully they cut away so Couric's could get off her knees and grab a towel.

I was watching the news awhile ago and am wondering if Pelosi is on Meth? Sure looks like it. Also why since about 1 in 100,000 even care about this health bill are they even wasting there time on it. If it passes there won't be a Democrat left in office after the next election!!

To the extent that the President's Health Care Reform is founded on the premise that "THE PATIENT COMES FIRST" and is successfully administered and financed, history will honor President Obama, Vice President Biden and Chief of Staff Emmanuel.

Detractors are right about one thing. Health care is too expensive, but it has very little to do with taxes, the economy, fraud, or malpractice suits. Liberals are wrong on this issue, while the Tea Partiers aren't even in the right universe.

Health care is too expensive because we have invented more health care than we can afford. Look up Richard D. Lamm on Amazon & read his book "Condition Critical."

I have seen multiple statements to this effect in medical literature, but it never makes it to network news. This is a crying shame, because it could be the salvation of our way of life. If we don?t address it, we?re going to kill the goose that?s been laying the golden eggs.

Do news anchors, sponsors & producers lack the heuvos and the will to weigh in on what many in the medical community see as THE health care issue? The state of Oregon has already come to terms with this concept. They have avoided the pitfalls of Romney Care and they still have a viable and highly popular health care system. Why aren't journalists going to there to see what brand of whiskey they?re drinking?

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not proposing we let the health insurance companies off the hook for their malfeasance and unconscionable policies and procedures.

I can't wait for the full interview. FINALLY some straight talk instead of the outright lies & misrepresentations from the ****** & lackeys of the big pharmacuticals & health insurance companies/lobbyists! I've bben an Independent Insurance Agent, selling health insurance (group & individual) for over 20 years & recognized long ago that We Need Heath Insurance Reform NOW!! The present system is collapsing around us & is a huge factor in our present & future economy. I'll gladly see my health ins. commissions evaporate in order to have a real system that works put in place! William Zipkin, CLU
