Editor:
I thank Anne Kirkpatrick, and the other Arizona Democratic Representatives, for voting in favor of the House's health care plan.
This country is in desperate need of health care reform; the health insurance death panels need to go the way of the Edsel.
Insurance, any insurance, any more is so not about taking risks, but about risking lives for their own sakes.

Nan,
Are you sure they have not? That seems like quite an assumption. To make that assumption might be more telling of your position than the reality of the situation.
Perhaps a run for office is in your future based upon your reading skills?
So how many pages by the way, if it's more than me than I guess you win this one...?
Nothing is perfect but doing nothing is the recipe for disaster.

I actually read most of it. Something the ones who decide haven't done.

Hey Nan,
Do you think that if I read the whole bill it would change anything? Your mind was made up from the get go so why bother? I did read some of it, how about you?
Shall we have a page off? Whomever read more pages is right and wins?

This bill is a real wake up call
This bill is a real wake up call,if you vote no you are telling the world you could care less about the country as a whole.How could any decent person vote to leave millions without health care. They hide under the cost umbrella but never look to every other industrialized nation to see how it could work.We are a nation divided by money and the middle class is the next extinct species.

Go out and buy your own in the private sector.
Will everyone who accepts medicare from the government please return it. Write to Social Security and demand that it remove you from their government rolls. You do not want or need a government run healthcare so refuse it. Go out and buy your own in the private sector.

Thank you Representative Kirkpatrick. Thank you for brining us one step closer to socialism and economic ruin.

Nan,
While the bill that passed was not all things to everyone, are you sure there is ~nothing~ in it that reforms healthcare? Nothing at all? That blanket position might tend to color your position on things.
Also- regarding fast movement and military lives, where would we be now had the previous administration been quite so fast to place the military in harms way in the first place. Seems you are putting the Horse after the Cart in this case.

The bill that passed, as written is horrible. It does nothing to reform healthcare, just puts a burden on taxpayers, forces people to have insurance and puts a government run program in play. The government has ruined pretty much everything they run and I don't want them anywhere near my healthcare. The congress and this president sure move fast when it comes to spending our money not so fast when it comes to military lives.
