I guess you will force people to lose weight by some government legislation. Moran, people will lose weight by personal responsibility. More big government will not solve these problems! You want to reform healthcare by taking government control of the whole medical system instead of seeing the problems within the current industry of health ... See Moreinsurance policies. Don't expect the government to fix healthcare, but make it worse. We know how the government screwed up and miscalculated on the Cash for Clunkers program. A program which people traded their old pickup for a new pickup not a hybrid car! It's time you retired in 2010. People are sick of big government and a shrinking private sector.

I thought the whole point of health care reform was for government not to get into people's lives.

unfortunately, as long as we the people allow bribes to take place, the government will be able to do anything. To give money or releif of a debt of money for a vote should not be allowed. Both parties should be arrested.

Sorry I do not drink koolaid for either party and that I think for myself. You should try it. I watch both channels and decide for myself. As for why I am here, I live in his district. Sorry that you are a liberal and you want everyone to get in in the "zombie" state and chant "I must follow". I actually look at facts.

the larger underlying problem here lies largely in our farm subsidies

Ditto.

WOW, so people should not voice their opinion or thoughts? Did not know this was connected to MSNBC.

Sarah, they do not teach those things in school anymore. All they teach about Jefferson is that he owned slaves.

Dear Congressman. Will you be on the exact same health care, You're proposing for the rest of America? If your not, it can't be any good.

I hope you finally get that health care reform passing!

Well Leslie, I think people who spend money who does not have any is pretty dumb.
