		<description>Here is a good ObamaCare number - ZERO health insurance companies with &quot;Child Only&quot; coverage after today, 09/23/2010.

Did anybody else see this coming besides President Obama?  Now he can get more kids on his dangerous S-CHIP insurance because it&#039;s now the only option.

The fruitcakes selling S-CHIP in Iowa are non-licensed people without &quot;Full and Proper Disclosure&quot; (Fancy legal term).  This means President Obama&#039;s S-CHIP salespeople have a serious ethics violation hanging over their heads.

		<description>There is an excellent documentary program about Obamacare.  FRONTLINE produced a show called &quot;Obama&#039;s Deal&quot;.  It exposes all of the back-room deals that went into making the health care bill.  You can view the entire episode online here:

		<description>Not only do 15 state attorneys general, so far, plan to challenge the constitutionality of Obamacare, but a former New Jersey Superior Court Judge and law professor says it is illegal because the Obama healthcare legislation, now law, is &quot;commandeering&quot; authority retained by and for the states and not delegated to the federal government.

		<description>Unleash the consumers who will spend their own money wisely: HOW? allow across state lines insurance competition, HSA&#039;s , medical practices needs to show statistics on how they handle patient&#039;s issues because we ask for it; Stop the legal assault on our health care causing MDs to run tests for CYA, rather than for medical reasons - tort reform, ask any doctor you know personally; medicine is not part of our commercial system.. who prices a heart surgery, how is that done? We do price pills and that&#039;s a start.  Ever try to get a quote prior to a procedure from a medical practice? All the normal bargaining tools of a wary consumer have been  slipped and stolen from the tool bag. Put &#039;em back. All legislatures must have the same options the public has and no special plans for them. My monthly (in April 2010) premium with a high deductible in central Virginia with BC/BS shield went up from 623 to 843 per month. I have pre existing conditions but didn&#039;t have the insurer pay my bills because of the high deductible and HSA but where can I go to give the providers competition for my business? I&#039;ve been pre-empted before I buy! Hey who took my tools!

As a nation we pay &quot;X amount&quot; for our health care but if it is disorganized and ineffective we pay &quot;X plus $ more&quot; . Does really matter if we pay it as private citizens through private premiums or as a tax we all pay ? If the underlying system is wasteful all payments -whether as private premiums or as a tax-thereafter will reflect that. Thinking about core and simple problems is mandatory to start to discuss in our national discourse what are the real problems. A scientist who asks the wrong question will arrive at a wrong experiment and a dead end. Our national conversations needs to focus at several levels but must include fixing the present lack of competition, medical overuse due to fear of legal retribution athe level of the provider, then we can go to the level of who and how we pay, whether via taxes or private premiums.  A smart buyer should enjoy paying for quality because by definition &quot;quality&quot; is a fair exchange of my dollar for your service. We have equal standards ( one dollar buys one unit of medical service) and are both volunteers for the exchange. We are not volunteers now we are captive, tied and bound. Captive to the system, tied by historical inefficiencies and bound by grossly limited competitive restraints.</description>

		<description>I think the conversation on this page says it all.  Your hatred is palpable through the internet.  I used to support you but your blatant lies and racist comments from your &quot;constituents&quot; have reversed my vote and my support.  I would watch what people write on your official page if I were you.</description>
