U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln Hey facebook friends, I recorded a special Christmas message for you. I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln Under the Senate bill, an Arkansas family that makes $48,367 a year will pay an annual premium of $3,629 and out of pocket of $6,300. The same coverage in today’s market would cost this family more than half of their income (51 percent). That’s why so many Arkansans are either underinsured or go without health insura...nce and live one critical illness away from bankruptcy. http://tinyurl.com/y9jt3wl

U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln Now that the Senate is nearing the end of this long road, and it is clear my goals have been met—namely, expanding access to 31 million Americans and more than 400,000 Arkansans and changing the way insurance companies do business, without adding to the deficit and placing taxpayers at risk with an expansion of governm...ent—I am proud to support the Senate’s final proposal.

OMG are AR senators trying to take credit for this process too? Unbelievable, because this has been going on in Arkansas (as well as many other states) since before most can remember. I know it's been in CO for at least 30 years probably as long for Arkansas too. Find some other devirsion from the healthcare and stimulus bills that are going to bankrupt America - this one wont do it.

Senator, your constituents and the American people are extremely outraged at what you and your Democrat colleagues are doing to us with this bill. 61% of the American people DO NOT WANT THIS BILL!!! We hold out hope that there is one Democrat in the Senate that has some integrity.

When you took office you swore to uphold the Constitution and represent your constituents. You and the others voting for this bill are not doing either one. Not only is this bill UNCONSTITUTIONAL, it is also NOT WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT!!! You work for us NOT your party!!!... See More

It is not too late to kill this bill. It is not too late to step up and stand up for the American people. It is not too late to be a hero.... See More

Ms Lincoln -how can you start this campaign knowing what obamacare will do to small businesses? keep reading the healthcare bill you voted for. based on FINES, NEW and creative TAXES, + providing healthcare - it will simply put small business in the hole and force more downsizing and finally closure. I have ran small businesses and know what ...

Thank you so much for voting for this bill! Thanks to you Senator Lincoln, millions of Americans will get healthcare. Requirement for small businesses to provide their employees healthcare is long overdue. I, myself, will now be able to stay on my parents' plan until I am 26 years of age. Even though some fellow American don't know it now, you voted for our benefit. Thanks, Senator Lincoln.

U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln Yesterday, I voted against the Gregg Amendment which did nothing to protect Medicare and would have hurt Arkansas's seniors. Republicans would rather scrap important Medicare enhancements for seniors to score political points. With a mother who relies on Medicare, I am not willing to let Republican obstructionism hamper meaningful reform for our seniors.
