To crazies, I’m an electrical engineer… so now that we’ve both posted our resumes, let’s agree to disagree. I use to think that we could not be forced into anything that we didn’t want, however, this healthcare bill just proved me wrong. Time will tell, I truly hope that our government has our best interest at heart. I truly for our sake hope so. Just remember, a government big enough to give you everything is a government big enough to take it all away. (and that includes your rights) PS-Just a side note, a company doesn’t really have to make money when their getting a load of it from your taxes. I still have a copy of the bragging advertisement that 79 million of our tax dollars from the “stimulus” monies was given to Verigreen. Hmmmmmm. By the way, I don’t need a tin foil hat for anyone to track me with, I have a cell phone.

Crazies, Why don’t you look it up before you make comments like you do? Look up Verichip Healthlink and PostiveID. Find out this information, they have their own websites in case you don’t realize this and they are in fact a very large company stationed out of Florida. Also find out what real time access is before you call me crazy. Real time access is in the health care bill and PositiveID’s ads brag about their implantable “real-time access” microchip. Also, the FDA approved the Human implantable microchip back in 2004. So get off your lazy behind, and off the WII game, collect your brain cells, and look this crap up!! Maybe you don’t want to find this out because either you’re too lazy, too ignorant,too scared you’ll be chipped like a dog,or simply can’t read.

I’m not going to be nasty just will say this again. Do any of you know what a biometric, class II, real-time access data transfer device is??? If you do not know what this is, than I suggest you go to Verichip Healthlink and PositiveID to find out. Verichip is an implantable microchip that tracks everything about you. Verichip Healthlink tracks your medical records and PositiveID tracks your financial records. Verichip just recently aquired PositiveID. Back to real time access of your financials and medicals records. Here’s the kicker, a committee will be set up to determine if your current health care meets their guidelines, if not, they will TAX YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYER. How long do you really think employers will absorb the costs? Not long, and since it’s mandated that you NOW have this Health care if you are without insurance or face a large fine, or go to prison, you will be put on this healthcare program. For God’s sake, listen to me people, it’s not about health care. Please people educate yourself to technology and what’s going on. A class II device is an implantable microchip and before I get arguments, a pace maker is an implantable device but a pace maker has absolutely nothing to do with data transfer and “real time access” to your medical and financial records. Please people, I want everyone to have good health and health care, I’d pay higher taxes for that, but look at the bigger picture.

Why would any conservative vote for government run healthcare when they represent conservatives? Unlike the liberal the repubs actually vote for their constituents. The vast number of Americans did not want this bill to pass so the repubs were on the side of the people. I don’t think the dems need the repubs to make them look bad as you will see in the next election. If the dems realy cared about heatlhcare for the uninsured they could have insured these unisured for a fraction of the stimulus money.

We are in the process of turning our health care over to a government that can not run anything properly. Yes this bill is only the first step on the slippery slope of control of every aspect of life from cradle to grave. Government control is not the answer to anything. Freedom is what America once stood for.You can not get security by selling your freedom.We once took pride in our self reliance and can do attitude. When did we become so pathetic to think we could not take care of our selves with out government intervention? My family has fought for this country from the revolutionary war to the present,but it was not for government control. It was just the opposite it was to live free. freedom to act in our own best interest not to have to beg for crumbs from the table of an out of control big government. We will soon be another democracy on the dung heap of history,a footnote to mans quest to be free. There may be a few who still yearn to be free but it seems the majority would rather just have a secure stress free life with someone else telling them what to do. I will mourn the life you lead,full of nothing except control from cradle to grave. I only hope I am wrong and there is a flicker of what America was burning inside the heart of all who would give away what we once held so dear. Freedom to be the best we can to stand tall in good times and bad and to only ask that government not get in our way.

I am VERY proud of our courageous leader. I’ve read bills that were published,including the euthanasia parts. Abortion is NOT a health care issue but the government chosing who lives or dies. I DO NOT WANT the government chosing FOR any citizen, born or unborn. This bill passage is an affront to freedom and the wishes of the majority of the people. It denies the protection of life, period. I am ashamed of the Democratic party. Medicare worked fine for me, however, I object not to eliminating it, BUT to our loss of freedom in the passage quaranteed by the constitution and the bill of rights to all citizens, not just those in the government. It is pasttime to make major changes before we’ve lost all the freedoms cherished by its citizens. This is much more than a monetary/save the poor issue, but the government may chose to euthanize and who lives or dies issue/AND WHO PROFITS issue. We must examine our own self-interest, and the interest of our government. Many in and out of government are majorly influenced by politically’ corrected’, biased education per most schools and media. This problem is a very old one.

All of us are going to have to pay for everything from teen abortions to HIV treatments for crack whores to flu shots for illegal immigrants. I’m glad everyone else can afford the taxes that are going to come of this (figure about double what you’re paying now), because I sure can’t. It’s not free medical for everyone, it’s everyone paying for medical care whether or not you need it.

How does Boehner keep getting re-elected in his congressional district? He doesn’t represent the best interests of his district, nor the best interests of the American people. If civilized countries like Japan, Australia, Germany, France, Israel, Great Britain (to name a few) can have a comprehensive health care system for their respective citizens, why can’t the United States? I have to assume that the US must not be quite as civilized as those countries!

How long will Butler County allow this hack to continue to embarrass us each and every time he opens his mouth? He is a disgrace to our community. How many thousand Americans died while he stalled and delayed this life saving measure? Too many!

Boehner was accurate when he said SHAME ON US, for letting 47,000 americans die EVERY year for lack of health insurance. Shame on us, and shame on him for trying to keep the status Quo that keeps right on killing them, shame on him for all the lies he told about the HC bill.

To all of you shouting about Medicare cuts and “kill grandma” you haven’t read the bill, just like Bonehead! The cuts are to Medicare Advantage, those add-on policies that people DON”T have to buy that are paid .15 of every $1 by the GOVERNMENT. (socialized???)Their reimbursement is much higher than regular Medicare, and now that will stop, along with ins. companies profits. Those premiums were going up, too. All the “little” changes from the Repubs were included in the bill anyway. Sore losers and obstinate jerks, all of them. Stop watching FOX!

Unfortunatly, Boner will be reelected because the people in his district are old stubborn WWII babies who only know one way of life. They are non progressive narrow minded dirt farmers who care about nothing but themselves. I know, I live here. I don`t agree with the bill, but I agree he should have been a part of the solution.

What are you fools spouting? Oh yeah, the gibberish of Boner, that we’ve killed our parents and made this a communist nation. Suprisingly, the opposite has happened. We (yes, the majority, you know, that voted for the President, the guy that Won!) have watched a great change in the nation that will help many many people, including (gasp) my own mother. Go read some facts.. no, not the GOP website or Fox News,.. go read the real deal.

You can’t blame Boehner for the HC bill passing. The fools who voted for the Democrat majority are the ones to blame. We warned you this prez would take over HC and he did. Things will get worse. Premiums will double. HC will be rationed. Medicare was cut by $500B. Do you really think that’s going to HELP the elderly? I say it’s closer to socialism where they let their elderly die and refuse them needed surgeries saying they don’t contribute to society. Twilight Zone time. Disrespect of elderly. U.S. turned the corner to Socialism last night. Communism is right up the block a ways. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to see it soon.

I am happy to see I am not the only one that wants Boehner out during his next election. He doesn’t care about anyone, doesn’t want to be part of the cause, he just wants to stir up trouble—what a shame that we have to say he represents us : (

Boehner for President! His impassioned words moved me. We will stand together and put this monstrocity under our heels. It’s not over yet. 38 states are challenging the Constitutionality of mandating healthcare. Obama’s backdoor deals will catch up with him and his administration. Obama’s next 2 bills will be to legalize illegals and add a one payer system. Don’t forget he took over student loan program, too. Govt can’t be trusted to make decisions like who gets to go to college and who doesn’t. Gov’t is politically driven as we saw by the voting numbers. Vote them out this next election.

I had THOUGHT one of the MOST honorable and HEROIC deeds an American can do was to SAVE THE LIFE of their fellow American who was less fortunate. Providing health coverage ALLOWS americans REGULAR medical treatments which are COVERED AND WILL save lives. The GOP rather SAVE A BUCK in tax money than save a life. What a piteful mindset that is….

Have any of you read the Health Care Bill? Those of us who have sit up all night reading this piece of crap bill agree with Boehner. Hope you all like your chip like burtha the cow. Read up on the Hitech Act, read up on Verichip and Positive ID, read up on what happens when the public funds abortion (even late term) read up people and wake up sheeple. If you’ve read even a section of this bill you would agree with Boehner. I for one will remember who voted for this diabolical plan. I’ll remember in November!!!!

Congressman Stupak will be judged by his constituents, his church, and by God for becoming a modern day Benedict Arnold. His vote to pass taxpayer funded abortion along with his democrat co-conspirators will cause the slaughter of millions of unborn children. They have sold their soul to the devil and will spend eternity trying to escape the shackles that bind them.

Maybe Boehner should have gotten involved in writing the health care bill instead of whining like a baby and trying to block anything from passing so the republicans could try and damage the dems.. We need health care reform.. trying to stop it just to make dems look bad has failed the public of any good the republicans might have contributed..
