Stubborn, he means, in opposing any health-care overhaul that includes a "public option," or government-run health-insurance plan, as the current bill does. His opposition is strong enough that Mr. Lieberman says he won't vote to let a bill come to a final vote if a public option is included.

I wonder how much it will cost to buy off Lieberman? 500 mil? 1 bill? I actually believe him (how foolish to put trust in a politician, I know!) so doa is the bill. another failure in the Obama, Reid, Pelosi regime!

I can't wait to go to jail for saying f---you and not buying insurance just to spite the government. Maybe I will leach off of them like so many are doing. Or just go straight to the emergency room every time my kids noses run and give them fake info, so they have to treat me. I will say no hablo english and they can't even ask if I am a legal citizen. Than I will say, no have id, so I can make up any names I want. Hey that should work right??? ha ha ha...

Godspeed Officer Nettleton.

As for the 3 vermin it is unfortunate he didn't get to take all three of you with him to the hereafter.

Enough aboot Canada, who cares, as long as they keep crossing the border and paying our doctors for simple care let them. It helps keep out doctors in business.

The best quote about healthcare I've heard is, "If the US goes to socialized medicine, where will all the Canadians and Cubans go for their health care?" A funny quote yes, but also a scary truth.

The other thing the left doesn't realize is that this bill will cause doctors to quit practicing. If they are reimbursed at less than or at medicare rates, they will not be able to stay in business. Yes, we will have almost, not all, insured, but what good is it if all those have to wait 6-10 months to get in the door for a bad cold or flu. Is this fear mongering? Not when it's the truth. Why is the left so afraid of the truth?

Health care is a self right, not a constitutional right. Unless, I have misread it, I don't see where it states, "this congress makes tax payer paid healthcare a right to all who live here."

If I am wrong please correct me.

Angry,

No one is saying medicine is going to disappear in the US. But when doctors disappear cause they are making less than guys flipping burgers at McDonalds and the well oiled machine (total sarcasm) of Congress is in control of your healthcare, being able to get access to it will disappear. You think waiting a couple hours to get seen at your current doctor when you have an appointment is long? Wait till you can't get in at all, or even better, not get to see your doctor of choice at all. That is what will happen if the healthcare reform gets past the senate.

Well, one good thing came from the congressional vote on Saturday! A lot of Dems will be looking for jobs after November 2010. But I also heard Obama will have a new Czar position open around that time. The who can kiss my (Obama) A$$ the best czar. Come to think of it, a lot of Senators will be applying for that job in 2010 as well! (Harry Reid)

I wonder if Acorn is going to count the votes? or if the nay buttons will be disabled accidentally? :-)

House poised for historic vote---and dems poised for historic embarrassment....can't wait to hear the spin on why it is defeated!

way to go Dina, you will now kill even more businesses in Nevada, thanks to increased fees (taxes) on small business owners. You folks who want government care beware, the more you give them (government) control, the less control you'll have over your own life. Just like the City Center uniforms with microchips in them. Pretty soon BHO will be calling you while you sit on the throne, to tell you to get off because your extended stay will cause a hemmorrhoid, and there is at least a six month wait to get a rx for the cream....I'm just sayin...:-)

Its2hot described the Obama agenda perfect. Turn the US into a 3rd world country by 2012. Than he can become the dictator like his good friends Chavez and Castro. Why do you people think his agenda is to create more government? The more you need him, the harder it will be to get rid of him. Mm mm mm, Obama. Well at least we only lost 200,000 jobs last month!I guess our economy has turned around ;-)
