What's the rush on this health care reform bill? Don't people realize that a 17 year debate is too short?

This will go down in flames just like clinton's did. They are bad for America and Americans. You don't like that?

yes taxes us to death to pay for the ones to lazy to work for health care

the rush is that obama knows as soon as the congressional recess begins and congress goes back to their districts and talk to constituents, his socialized medicine is sunk. Why don't they limit medical lawsuits instead and the cost of medical care will come down

I don't know who you are kidding. This bill has not been around for 17 years and guess what, they haven't finished writing it even though they are pushing to vote on it. Don't you think everyone should at least have a chance to the bill before putting it up for a vote? What happened to Obama and the Democrats promising to have all bills on line for 5 days before a vote? I don't think they've done that even once in this administration though I didn't expect honesty from a Democrat.

Obama is pushing so hard for it to be approved before the August break because he knows if these politicians make it back to their districts and they get their azz chewed by their constituents they will come back from their break and vote his bills down...health care and cap and trade.

me dont reed so good. we better leeve helfcare like it iz.

Obama wants to rush it through because he knows his popularity is falling and fast.

No, The better question is with the Dems controlling both houses, why isn't this a slam dunk for them? Maybe they realize the intended or even unintended consequences of this legislation could easily cause them to lose re-election in 2010.

We need to pass this baby, the federal debt is far to small.
