Who will you vote For in November?


The public option is back. That is, if you believed it had ever really gone away.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid came out from his inner sanctum where only a few of his closest associates are hammering out legislative text in private, away from the prying eyes of both concerned citizens and even other elected representatives.

Going Rogue by Sarah Palin FREE

That’s troubling.

After all, what incumbents in Washington are doing will restructure more than 17 percent of our nation’s economy.

To put that data fact in visual perspective, glance at your own hand.

Today, the health care industry is represented by your smallest finger – the one referred to as our ‘pinkie’ finger.

When the government bureaucrats take control of everyone’s health care delivery costs will certainly increase.

looking at our fingers......
u bet, mine are clenched into a fist these days! I think a majority of Americans are now starting to 'shake theirs' as well! The only proponents to OmaCare are the few americans who have nothing to lose by it, and the party. The whole dang thing was set up to 'help' out the people who have never been able to afford coverage, or couldn't get it. Now, with the 'new revised' plan, just a few of those would actually benefit. All this for what cost?? 1+ trillion dollars? That is pretty dang arrogant to throw that kind of money around to 'not help the ones it was originally intended for'. Makes me believe that there HAS to be a motive other than what is on the table...
