PUBLIC STRONGLY OPPOSES HEALTHCARE REFORM

YET OBLIVIOUS CONGRESS PONDERS 5 PUBLIC OPTIONS

CONGRESS ARE YOU LISTENING?

Could it be poor memory or that Congress never fully comprehended the public protests against heathcare reform or health Insurance reform?
While the people say NO, the Senate is pondering five different public options for a bill that the public is vehemently opposed.

Last week the Price Waterhouse Study revealed that insurance premiums will cost $4,000 more per person for annual premiums under HealthCare Reform.

More economic shock came with a warning from Moody's, the rating agencey for the credit worthiness of the United States bonds and Treasury bills, that the once stellar 3 star rating of the United States is likely to be down graded in two to three years. That downgraded rating is without the massive $1,400,000 Trillion expected cost of HealthCare Reform.

CONGRESS IGNORES PUBLIC OUTCRY

These HealthCare Reform Bills are opposed by the citizenry.
The people can not afford higher taxes.
President Obama promised no tax increases.
President Obama stated Health Care Bill must be deficit neutral.
Adding to deficit will impoverish our children and grandchildren.
The Government can not afford to spend money it does not have.
The people can not afford to be taxed.

Let's have reasonable changes:
1. Torte reform
2. Insurance portability
3. Interstate insurance purchase
4. Waste and fraud overhaul of Medicare and Medicaid
(Why the delay in this overhaul? Do this NOW)

MUST CONGRESS BE REMINDED AGAIN ?

NO HEALTH CARE BILLS

VOTE NO ON ANY HEALTH CARE BILL
LET THEM HEAR FROM YOU

I just heard stats on NPR this morning that the public actually DOES favor a public option. Cokie Roberts offered stats in the high fifties to mid-sixties (percentages)in favor of public option for most states! I don't know who to believe anymore because everyone thinks there opinion is right!

it is simple, ask all your friends, family coworkers etc. who wants the government to run health care. i believe you will find that support may be 10%. those that do support it don't understand the ramifications of the government owning their bodies. the media could care less because all they are doing is reporting what they are told.

Are we all on the same planet? Virtually everyone I know wants healthcare reform including a public option. The insurance companies have been bleeding us dry for years, and it's time to have an alternative. -Fran

Please. Of course NPR would be pro public option!
If you want denial, delay, higher taxes on EVERYTHING great, and automatic debit of your bank account, a public option is for you.
For anyone still in favor of public option, states opt-in, or opt-out you will never fully comprehend the issues.
You can not flood the system with indigents and not have the system collaspe.
You may have missed O's hope for single payer that may take 15-20 years. this is the first step.
When socialized medicine fails in Europe, Tennesse, Mass, and a western state, wise people make the connect, it does't work anywhere.
If you are a Marxist or socialist then of course you would support the public option.
These creatures will promise anything to get this passed, and then who suffers?
Has Congress pledged to sign on to the public option?
I wonder why not?

Suppose I were an idiot. Suppose I were a member of Congress. But, I repeat myself.
It seems too simple. If 25 million don't have health care, fix it so they can get it. Leave everything else alone. Anything wrong about the current system gets dealt with one step at a time, in good time.
