V/A hospitals- grossly mismanaged with billions wasted
post office- grossly mismanaged with billions wasted
social security- grossly mismanaged with billions wasted
medicaid/medicare- grossly mismanaged with billions wasted

but now we want to put 275 million Americans who already have healthcare under the government's control because 30 million are uninsured? yeah, thats an intelligent way to go.

also, those of us intelligent enough to understand that a healthy United States can not run a 9 trillion dollar deficit want to see LESS government money spent, not more.

This healthcare "crisis" is a lie. its no more a crisis than it was 1, 5, or 10 years ago.
the "more people than ever don't have healthcare" hysteria is a LIE. People don't have jobs. fix the fucking economy.

lastly, this healthcare bill is a LIE. It has not ever been passed and they are already lying about the cost. The bill relies on what, 300 billion in medicaid/medicare cuts that will be voted on separately at a later date?
my fellow Americans, clueless as you are, wake up! congress will NEVER pass those cuts. then our lord obama will trot out and say,"my plan was good but the republicans wouldn't vote for my wise medicaid reform bill"
The lying lord obama said he wouldn't sign a healthcare bill if it raised the deficit by one cent.
Are you THAT stupid? the healthcare bill (with its fantasy land medicaid cuts) will cost 900 billion dollars over 10yrs. in 10yrs. the deficit (by our lord's and the CBO's estimates) will by 9 trillion dollars. it currently is a little over 1 trillion dollars. Are you REALLY that gullible?

intelligent Americans understand that when your credit cards are maxed out and beyond your ability to pay more than the intrest on them, you don't refurnish your house by applying for new credit cards.

I just don't understand what the unintelligent Americans are thinking...............
here is a summary of the impact of medical costs upon bankrupt Americans. 60% is a hell of a big number to be simply a lie.

http://www.nchc.org/facts/cost.shtml (didn't find out the party loyalty of the thinktank, if there is a problem i will find a republican fact sheet)

and that deficiet number is based directly on the current recession and costs of stimulus. I know you like blaming Obama solely for that, but since it was a agreed upon course of action by every major financial government on the planet, you can't simply lay all the blame at Obamas feet..

You could in fact lay it directly at the feet of the federal reserve. You know, the peeps that lost the trillions of dollars?
