5. Hitting it out of the park!

'You will keep your health care and doctor if you desire to. BUT, we need to have national health care!! One reason is to ensure we keep the insurance companies honest by producing competition.'

I'm liking what he's saying. :kick:

6. I have MSNBC on my PIP and they totally cut away from the town hall after his speech.

They have SOME nerve calling themselves, "The Place for Politics." :eyes: CNN is still covering it.

25. He was saying our kids need to study more-put down the video games & turn off the tv.

It's a line he always gets applause for-telling parents they gotta "parent."

24. The one thing I'm really bummed out about is the length of time

anything will take to implement. Some of us don't have years to wait for healthcare. I'm fighting for my mobility with a bum hip.

28. this is going to be a fight with insurance companies and drs.

do you think those insurance companies and drs. want to see healthy people they won't be making the money they are now. my answer can be taken as cynical but has some truth to it.

33. I know you're being realistic, they don't want people who actually need care.

It's very depressing. I'm hitting a real low here. After a lifetime of playing by the rules, always working, always paying taxes, never taking any kind of public assistance and being priced out, then cherry-picked out of healthcare . . . I feel like discarded trash by the side of the road.

31. Elizabeth Cohen, CNN's medical correspondent, said she heard something "new" today-

that Obama wants it to be mandatory that insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions. It's FAR from new-he's been saying it for years!
