Lorie

You make absolutely no sense. First you say you don't have healthcare insurance so you use the free clinic. Then you say that healthcare reform is socialism. Using a free clinic is about as socialistic as there is, so you have defined yourself as a socialist, but you say it in a negative context. You are a socialist, but you hate socialists..

Second, the Republicans wanted to throw out the first plan because it was too long and complicated. Obama cut it down to 7 pages for the televised forum, then Bayner complained that 7 pages wasn't enough to reform healthcare. The reason they want to throw it out and start over is the oldest trick in the book, delay, delay, delay. Obama has incorporated their ideas into his plan, but they still won't vote for it. Their arguments don't have merit.

Third, the latest Newsweek poll shows 48% support healthcare reform, 43% oppose it. I'm no math major, but 48% is higher than 43%. How is that shoving it down your throat? The majority rules. Maybe it's your socialist background makes you not understand that?
