Healthcare seems to be on everyone’s mind. We can agree on the importance of it, but we can’t seem to agree on how to make things better.
Here are my concerns:
1.) Why is the same congress that is vilifying the insurance companies for making so much profit trying to force everybody to purchase more insurance?
2.) Money that comes from the taxpayers is coming from us. Elected officials appear to lack a basic understanding of economics. Putting more people on Medicaid doesn’t save us money, it costs us money.
3.) Blaming the uninsured for driving up the cost of healthcare is just as prejudiced as blaming any other group of people merely by social, economic affiliation skin color or hair styles. Those with no insurance who pay their bills in a timely manner are likely to pay their medical bills in a timelier manner than the insurance companies. Our enemy is not the uninsured. Our problems are created by artificially inflated prices, minimal disclosure and a lack of incentive to shop for the most affordable medical care.
4.) A significant increase in paperwork and record keeping complying with government mandates are driving up the costs and do little to improve the quality of care.

I love it that all these neo-con republicans on both the state and national level, are always throwing stones about the problems facing our country, but never have any solutions. I have read the posts from hers and other neo-cons newsletters and they never have solutions just more stone throwing. I saw Boenher on Meet the Press last week and he was asked point blank "what do you want to see included in the health bill that would make you vote for it. " and he could not give a straight answer. He danced around it with Republican talking points. We can look forward to another year of nothing getting done. I am disgusted.
you can always tell a teabag twit like Cynthia Davis,but you can't tell her much.
What in the wide, wide world of representation could the folks in her district have been thinking when they sent her to Jeff City?
Anonymous at 5:03pm: You can say your opponents don't offer solutions but is simply not true. And to say that it's the duty of any opponent to Obamacare to suggest improving the dog's breakfast it's become is fatuous.
Time to hit the reset button on this issue ... upon which you'll find the Republicans have a lot of proposals to improve things short of a complete (in the medium term) takeover of 17% of the US economy.

Republicans ran the show for 8 years. What did they offer in terms of health care reform?
And what exactly do you think they'll be suggesting after this "reset"?
As far as I can tell, we've been "talking" about health care reform since at least 1993 (this is not including President Nixon's attempt in the 70s, which was a lot like Obama's).
Given that we've been 'talking' about health care for 30 or 40 years, how much more time is needed that a 'reset' (which really just means _burial_) would provide?
