I agree with you mary there are other problrms more pressing like JOBS and this bill will hurt more then hrlp

He is a Obama drone he dosnt care about the people

Thank you Congressman.

You're great Ben Ray, we're so proud of you.

Please vote FOR the health care reform bill.

How about just answering the same question I have been posing for months? And the only response I have received is the standard form letter from June about "Cap and Trade". Still haven't figured out how "Cap and Trade" legislation is going to get me into see a doctor?
Care to answer now Mr. Lujan???????

Honey, when someone with no health insurance shows up in the emergency room for a stomachache, who do you think pays for that? We do!The public option would improve preventative care so people wouldn't wind up in the ER when they don't belong there.

Give me a break. A document this long deserves months to discuss and evaluate -- not a few days. Plus this bill is worse than the first one. This bill is not the way to solve our health care problems and destroying the health insurance industry in America is not the way to create more jobs. In addition, this bill in combination with the big ... Read Morespending of the Obamma and Bush adminstrations is going to ruin our economy. The stimulus plans did not do what either of them said they would do. They have only made things worse. See a pattern here?

We don't do enough for our Native Americans even when it comes to health. Three roses to you Ben for seeing to it that their health coverage is not compromised by Washington budget cuts.

Native Americans already have government health care and it is poorly done.

This bill is worse than the first one. Combined with the other things that both the Bush and Obamma adminsitration have done it will destroy our economy. Plus it will make health care wose in Amercia for everyone except the unions and perhaps a small number of people who were not insured before. This is not the way to solve the heatlh care problem!! Do you think that the way to create jobs in America is to destroy the health insurance industry? This is the wrong thing for America.

Annetta, my children went to public school here in Albuquerque, actually supposedly one of the best in the city, but it wasn't. I felt that they got a substandard education as compared to my oldest daughter who went to catholic high school.(which I paid for as well as pay my taxes) but I don't see what difference it makes as to whether my children ... Read Morewent to public school. I have no choice but to pay my taxes and pay for your children too. I just realize that as a good citizen I pay my taxes as I should but then I should have a say in how it is spent. The onlly thing that government should be in charge of is defending the nation and its citizens. Local government should be in charge of maintaining the roads and providing for fire and police. They should not be in charge of deciding what medicines I should be able to take or when I can get in to see a doctor. I just realize that as a good citizen I pay my taxes as I should but then I should have a say in how it is spent.

I geuss Annetta, that you don't believe in freedom of speech or any of the other freedoms that are spelled out in the Constitution. It amazes me how intolerant of others people can be, however they expect everyone to be super tolerant of them and their views.

Dont forget Northern New Mexico College Mechanical Engineering program and their efforts to produce experts in this field. Thanks for boosting dev.

What arrogance to state that when someone disagrees with your position to say that they are uninformed. I don't want a public option, I don't want the government to be any more involved in my life then they already are. Why does no one promote Health Saving Accounts? Allowing insurance companies to sell policies across state lines? Real Tort Reform... Read More to lower the cost of malpractice insurance to the doctors? and disallow Insurance companies from using preexisting conditions as an excuse to not insure you? These can and will lower the real cost of health care. The legislation that is being proposed right now is NOT reform...the cost to most people, even those making less then 200,000 a year will go up. There are many hidden fees (taxes) in this legislation. Just remember the addage: Nothing in life is free.

I really love it when joe gets off his meds...

There is a lesson for those in the Democratic Party who want to follow the progessives and ignore the moderate/fiscal conservatives in their party. Do so at your peril, there are more out here than you may think.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

‘MORE INFO PLEASE... Read More’ AAMODT POLL RESULTS SHOW PUBLIC OUTREACH NEEDED

Santa Fe – October 7, 2009 – In August, Santa Fe County commissioned Research & Polling, Inc. to measure awareness levels of the Aamodt settlement and proposed water system, as well as determine what action non-Pueblo property owners plan to take regarding the source of their water. Poll results reveal strong negative feelings (59% have a negative response and only 8% have a positive response) towards the Aamodt settlement agreement.

India has expressed no desire to hamstring its economy with Kyoto protocol cap and trade restrictions.
Secondly, even if all the target CO2 emissions reduction levels anticipated by the legislation were met, the net effect of these lower levels would be negligible on lowering worldwide temperatures.
But even if the bill works exactly as envisioned, the most radical environmentalists admit that it will only slow temperature increases by 2050 by a ridiculous 9/100th of one degree Fahrenheit! Even after all the costs of reducing the use of fossil fuels by 83%, that is all that would result.
The Charles River Associates, a Harvard based economics consulting firm, estimates a net loss of jobs from the bill of about 2.5 million each year. But this should be no cause for concern since Nancy Pelosi has assured us that this bill is about, “jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs”, ostensibly to be created from alternative energy sources, for which at present, there is no commercially feasibly technology sufficient with which to propel our automobiles and other transportation vehicles from wind or solar power
What possible justification could there be for enacting into law punitive measures aimed at the American consumer’s use of carbon based energy sources that in the end, will have no impact on global warming?... Read More
Ask your Congressman who voted for this mindless, economically deleterious legislation.

just wanted to give appropriate credit to the writer.

Thank you Honorable Mr. Lujan for voting yes on HR 3221 to defund ACORN. Finally maybe some Democrats will see what that group does and deal with it. Will you write the Honorable Mr. Conyers and demand hearings and an investigation as should have been done last year?

The whole point of the so-called health reform was supposedly to reduce the cost to those who can't afford insurance right now. What they are doing is making it more expensive for all and getting nothing in return. We will be forced into rationing the health care that we have with the result being that everyone will get a substandard form of care. Those who think that they can get something for nothing are delusional.

Both sides of this issue have polarized the nation by using misinformation, half-truths, and lies. Obama is no longer saying "if you like your health insurance you can keep it" (Wed. speech). Probably because one of his handlers told him that was a lie after they read HR 3200, as I did. And Rep. Cuellar (a true Democrat) from Texas has now ... Read Moreoffered to introduce an amendment that would add enforcement (SS database and background checks) to guarantee illegals are not allowed to take our tax money. All these things are progress. And BTW, I support a public option and taxpayer funded insurance for those who can't afford it.

Congressman Lujan… Just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this.
