The media insist on making it seem like voters are turning on Obama and the Democrats just because Republicans might win in New Jersey and Virginia. Big news two Republican strongholds might elect Republicans. Man it is not like we are talking about New York and California going Republican. The media just want to use this to convince people to turn on Obama and the Democrats, just like they have. Hate training is what people get from the media. They will use this as an all out assault on the Democrats for the next year, wait and see. Then tell me the media is Liberal.  Anyone that trust the major media outlets is going to be misled and misinformed, on purpose.  Wayne Blackshire, Active Democrat

Congress thinks we're too stupid and the issue too complicated to convey to the public - so that no one will know the difference if they offer the uninsured Medicaid or Medicare.

The House HealthCare Reform Bill recently delivered by Nancy Pelosi, included a proposal to expand Medicaid to enroll an additional 20,000 recipients. The Senate is poised to put this in the combined bill, as a means to reach universal coverage. But no one has exposed that Medicaid is in shambles, costs the feds and the states billions...

Brita seems to have vanished from the list of Fox news advertisers that we were advised to contact. I wrote to them on their customer support website saying I would switch to PURE if they did not desist.  I never got a response which isn't surprising. However, I see them neither in the list of retractors nor supporters of Fox. What gives?

Do you know
what the "public option" does or who it covers?  If you've had trouble
finding out, it's not your fault.  Reading the corporate media coverage
provides little or no clue.  It's hardly ever defined.  There's a very
good reason for the lack of clarity and definition.  But first, a brief
summary or a public debate that characterizes just about every public
debate we have on critical issues.

Three words that are detrimental to America's Ecomomic Recovery are ((( Made In China ))).

How can we possibly expect to recover jobs in this country when every so called American company now has their products made in china? Something need to be done to stop this practice before we have no jobs left for us. A congressional resolution needs to be passed requiring these turncoat American Companies to stop using the term (American Company). They should be taxed much more than true American Companies that are willing to put Americans to work in American Factories. ( and that does not mean Central America or South America.) It means United States of America.  If we do nothing about the mass exodus of jobs from here, we might as well become The United States of China.

Thank You Wayne Blackshire, Proud Active Democrat and  citizen of (My) United States,--- at least for now.

In the last 2 weeks I have contacted Rep. Bart Stupak in Michigan, and Sen. Mary Landrau in Lousiana about supporting the public option for thr Health Care Bill.  I am asking all of you great Democrats to contact your Congressional Representatives, and Senators and tell them that the public option is absolutely necessary.

The insurance industry has America held hostage by their practices.  When I recently retired I found that health insurance runs from $180-$850 per month after retirement.  Who can afford this?

The American working men and women deserve to have health insurance that covers any and all illnesses, not just the ones the insurance companies say they will cover.  The working people of America should all be insured, not just the people that can afford it.

There are several things that can be done to improve access to
healthcare, lower costs of insurance and does not require a federal
governement takeover.

1.  Meaningful Tort Reform.  Practicing professionals and their
insurance providers can work far more efficiently if they has some
grasp of their maximum exposure in lawsuits.  While no one wants to
take away an individual's right to sue when they've been injured,
unquantifiable awards under the headings of 'pain and suffering' and/or
'punitive damages' must be capped.  Using the federal anti-trust
measure of treble damages seems a reasonable standard.  If the limits
on damages are say, 3 times the actual damages for pain and suffering,
and an additional 2-3 times the combined damages for the punitive
category, real reductions in medical malpractice insurance can be
realized with a resulting reduction in cost at the doctor's office.
