House crams healthcare bill down the countries throat.

I say it’s a cram down because something like 70% of Americans didn’t want it, but it was passed anyway.

[quote=Jim Jones]What happened to Pelosi’s promise to allow 72 hours for the public to view the contents of the bill then provide their feedback to their elected representatives.

Can we not call this behavior unethical? Should voters not hold their elected representatives to a higher standard? Where is the news media? Where is the opposition party?

Regardless of the fact that they are elected, they are still accountable to the electorate. If the electorate is not aware of what they are voting on then we have ineffectively delegated out powers to our officials.

Just my 2 cents, or maybe less by the time I finish typing this post as our government has taken on another federal program without explaining how it will be funded.[/quote]

I too am tired of this BS “secret” crap Pelosi keeps doing. If it has to be secretive, or rushed through before people can take a look at it, it is obviously not in our best interest. It’s just another power grab, and I think it’s time for this country to raise up and form a new government. This one obviously doesn’t work for it’s citizens anymore.

I didn’t know there were Republicans in North Park 92104. 😉

I think that universal health insurance is good. Everybody should have it.

This should be a first step in getting health-care under control.

Rationing is necessary. Everyone should have basic government guaranteed health coverage. The private sector should pickup the cost beyond basic.

Over time, health care spending should be cut back to take up a much lower portion of GDP.

Unless you are only counting people listening to Glenn Beck as Americans, your data is completely wrong.
