I just signed up for Claire McCaskill heathcare townhall meeting.

On Aug. 24. In Kansas City.

I'm taking suggestions for questions and signs. I have some ideas, but am willing hear your ideas. I'm sure some will be better than mine. I just hope I have a chance to air my opinion publicly.

1. My question would be

Why is maintaining the profits of the industries (Pharma and Insurance) MORE important than saving money for the American taxpayer and the financial stability of the entire nation?

If she pretends not to understand ask her -

How in good conscience does Congress pass bills where drug prices are not negotiated like they are in every sane country in the world?

2. Where is the Republican bill?

The Republicans in congress have given us all of their reasons for not supporting the Democratic proposals. Why haven't they come up with an alternative and sent it to CBO for appraisal.

3. They have a plan. It's called pray to Jesus you don't get sick.

It does not work well but that seems to be typical of all Republican plans. Oh I forgot, cutting taxes also heals the sick. The sick bastards in the top 2% that think they should have everything while the rest of us starve and die.

4. If there's anyone in the pockets of the Insurance idustry it's McCaskill.

Good luck but it is impossible for her to help get anything accomplished. She is part of the problem - NOT part of the solution.

...of course I still voted for her but really didn't have a better choice. :)

Take two minutes and watch this video...

"The product of Health Insurance Companies is to move money and skim profits..."
