Dakota Dan-
I notice in the second paragraph of your quotation that she did not say "Americans support this plan." That would be patently false. So she said something obviously true about what Americans support, but which has no resemblance to her bill.

Im not the sharpest knife in the drawer but Ms. pelosi as well as our Pres. agenda is a train wreck headed toward socialism and maybe communism. I dont want anything from this life that I havent earned. Including health care. They are so out of touch with the real America it is quite scary to me. So protected and so far away from the regular guy its almost as if they have their own country!? How the hell do they know whats best for me!? Frankly I think half of them should be tried for treason. Our forefathers would probably have them shot! Ok I feel better now.Sorry for the rant but this is how I feel. God bless America!

Dakatah,

How many other countries have you personally used the health care system in? Most people that complain and want more have never seen anything else and are just riding a bandwagon or are terribly misinformed...a product of propoganda. I have firsthand knowledge of healthcare in Czeck, Germany, France, Denmark and Poland. I have accessed healthcare in Germany and Czeck. germany has public healthcare. They charged out the tailend, deductibles started rising to pay for the unemployed healthcare and the quality of care left alot to be desired. I can do on and on about how bad this system can be and how it WILL cost us all a great deal more than is being said. If anyone wants to spend money for people they do not know or are not working or will go to the hospital everytime they get the sniffles t get out of work or not spend the $10 at walgreens then by all means buy into the Pelosi propaganda. If not just spend the money on a new rifle and scope every year. Send me one because I am so smart and saved you money.

Here is a statement by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi that charifies her intention with this bill:

“Improving health insurance reform must be based on a fundamental principle of our democratic system: a simple majority. After passing health insurance reform in both chambers of Congress – with a super-majority in the Senate – it is now time for an up-or-down vote on the final improvements to the reform. We will only use a simple majority to improve the legislation, through a process used to enact key pieces of health and budget legislation by both Democrats and Republicans in the past.

“Americans support reform that makes health insurance more affordable, ensures access for tens of millions more people, and brings accountability to the insurance industry. Our families and businesses deserve reform that will create millions of jobs, strengthen Medicare, reduce our deficit, and no longer deny care or drop coverage to those who need it most. We must act now.”

The obvious purpose of health care reform is exactly what the second paragraph details. The Republicans in Washington want to protect their own campaign corporate contributers at the cost of access to healthcare for millions of people. People die in this country for lack of adequate medical attention. It is time as a nation that we change this corrupt system. The current health care bill is a step in that direction, and I hope it passes ASAP.
