I feel that there may be a glimmer of hope to stop this downward spiral to socialism. How ironic that it is a republican that could stop this healthcare bill in its tracks from the former seat of Ted Kennedy. Proof positive,.....there is a God. Divine Justice I think.

The state of Illinois is run by the Chicago machine. Chicago, in Cook Co., and it's immediate surrounding (6) counties, pretty much make up the machine. The rest of us are referred to as 'Downstate'. We Downstaters get a lot of our laws crammed down our throats whether we like it or not. Most of us wish that those (7) counties would secede from Illinois, and start their own state. This would leave the rest of us to hopefully enjoy a respectable government style, sans the machine corruption. At least we could start our own machine. Both of our U.S. senators are from the machine counties. The last 'joke' we sent to the congress, self admitedly, will not run again; but will certainly enjoy all the benefits accruing to a U.S. senator when he retires. He got Obamas' senate seat by appointment from a now deposed governor who is facing trial for trying to sell Obamas' seat to the highest bidder. And now our ex-governor has become a TV star. Will wonders never cease? The 2,000 page Health Care Refom Bill is an example of Chicago machine politics relocated to Washington. I would like to hear the exact number of Chicago politicians who relocated to Washington. I'll bet it's a ton. Just a guess. Today is a special Senatorial election day in Massachusetts. God willing, Brown will cream Coakley, and give we Tea Party Conservatives a smidgen of a chance to block this 'abortion' of a 'Reform' bill that the fairly large majority of Americans don't want. Unless, of course, our Congress crams it through before Brown gets seated, and those of us on Medicare go further into 'Rendering unto Caesar'. I'm told there may be a way they can do that, but that's hearsay for me at the moment. If they can, I'm sure they'll do it. Oh well! They can always print more money. Debased dollar - Here we come! I wonder what it'll be like feeding at the government trough? I suspect I'll find out, along with all the rest of you. It seems that's what it's coming to. Damn!

Anyone for this so called healthcare bill is out of their mind. True we need some kind of improvement in healthcare "costs" but we have the best healthcare in the world. This bill in nothing but a ploy to gain control and steal freedom. When I first saw this question I thought sure you must be joking! Anyone for this so called healthcare bill is out of their mind.

What should be done is reduce the access of worthless law suits which is driving up the cost of medical care. All employees fo the government should be on the same health care and retirement plan which they spell out for everyone else. I am sure it would be better for the average person if this was the case.

You said to look in the site for an excerpt of Alan Beaulieu, but where is it? I would think it would be in the videos but it isn't. This has happened before when I tried to follow your lead.

Anyone for this health care bill is a Communist! Not a single one of our so called leaders would accept the HC plan for themselves, so why should we want it!
