Great post and right on target. We got some of this when Klinton was in office from Shrillary and her buddies but not anywhere near as vitriolic as
this administration! Like I've said before i believe the election in 2010 midterms is going to be one crazy time in this country. Their tactics are
going to be even harsher than they are now if the polls show that all the misconceptions of how large their base really is just smoke and mirrors!
Saying something that's not true enough and it will become true only works when you can convince the majority. I don't think they have anywhere near
that.

Zindo my friend, the tactics that these people are using are shameless and shamefull.
This is America and the blatant attempts at extortion and bullying are causing a very ugly situation.
People must be allowed to speak. I have a health plan already, it's called try not to get sick. If I get sick I go to my doctor. I pay her with
something called cash. She actually charges me less than people who pay by insurance because she incurs no cost in collecting payment. She respects
that I pay cash by always basing her recomendations on the fact that I am actually going to pay for them and whether they really have a value to me
that makes the cost of a treatment versus what it actually does to benefit me worthwhile for me to consider. She tells me straight up what would be a
waste of time and money and what wouldn't. She also gives me priority in seeing me in her very busy practice. If there are 8 other people waiting on
various insurance plans she always does what she can to get to me as quickly as possible. She never rushes our consultation though, in fact she slows
down, changes gears and talks to me like a human being, a friend, and someone she respects and enjoys talking to. She doesn't do that with her other
insurerer paid patients.
I like my health plan. I pay when I get sick, for what I need when I get sick, and only those things I need to get better.
My health plan includes preventative medicine, it's called eating a balanced diet, getting plenty of exercise and fresh air, plenty of rest and
minimizing as much stress in my life as I can.
I don't need the Government to provide me a health plan. I don't see how they could provide a better health plan or better care than my own health
plan and the care I am already obtaining.
I know too that I have access to the best doctors in the world, who only want one thing to give me the very best care in the world, me to pay them,
their agreed upon and set rate!
Not everyone can afford the best doctors or has access to them, but America is a land where being the best at something is supposed to pay. It's a
land where you can have the best of something if you are willing and capable of paying.
If the government actually just made it easier for people to make a living by getting out of the way, not taxing us to death, and not molly coddling a
whole plethora of looser special interests groups and all their incessant whinning and demands for charity and special treatment, and actually just
did it's job of keeping capitalism and democracy working and functioning in it's simple, basic form...people could afford health care.
The only reason people can't afford health care is because of the special interests like the insurers corrupting congress not to mention the rampant
fraud in medicare and medicaide.
It's evident in how my own Doctors charge me. Don't put them through the insurance rigamoroll and pay them real cash and they charge you less and
provide you more.
It's congress through Medicaide, Medicare and cowtowing to special interest insurance and pharmacutical lobbies that let health care become so costly
and so inefficient to most people.
They are the ones who screwed the pooch and now they are yelling at us to let them fix it, in a hurry, and their way, no questions ask?
Laugh out loud and sell me the Brooklyn Bridge too!
People need to think.
If you can't afford your own health care, you don't need a better insurer, you need a better job...and that's what the government should be working
on, providing better jobs and income opportunities.
Now I wrote a lot right here, but I defy anyone to tell me that some political party, insurance company, bank or politician caused me to form this
view.
This is America and too darn bad if someone doesn't like it or agree with it.
What I just said isn't criminal, trying to stop me from saying it is though, and this government of ours really ought not to forget that.
This is America not Kenya.
Again, the reason this has not happened now is because the bill has not passed with the law that will eliminate private coverage. 
LIE, LIE 
I have given you written and audio proof of everything. There is nothing I can do except come to your house and
highlight and underline the text for you and slowly describe what the words mean.
