So how would Bachmann insure the uninsured? How would Bachmann stop insurers from dropping insured for the thinnest of reasons? How would Bachmann control spiraling health care costs? It's easy to be a nay sayer - where are the ideas?

Let's see: What coherent,'factual' information did the Bachmann gang have to share with us? A) "Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds," B) "Death Panels" are part of the proposed legislation. C) "the lies and deception are blatant.... Maybe it was the 20 years of subconscious programming by Rev. Wright to damn America."
Hmmmm........does it matter that these are all fabrications? If not, why are these people so riled up? OH, yes........the marching orders from Chairman Rush: "We want Obama to fail!"
Forget the foolishness of the Bachmann gang. After carefully reading the legislation and helping to shape it, both the AARP and the Amer. Medical Assoc.(your doctors!) support the basic tenets of this legislation. They agree that this version of healthcare reform is an improvement over what now exists or what the Republicans offer. Stay the course. Contact your Representative and Senator voicing your support for substantive healthcare reform.

Why don't the uninsured buy coverage themselves? Bachmann is speaking for the majority of Americans. European-styled health insurance is laughable - so is the argument that everyone has a right to health insurance.

No health care unless you can afford it - the rest of you - who cares? Common people - puke.

Don't expect idea from Republicans. The whole purpose is to delay the Health care Reform. The Republicans never have any Health care reform in the table..
This is America & you can sell a bucket of dirt from Idaho to 10,000 idiot Americans. Not all Americans are that smart, even though they think they are.

Apparently you ONLY listen to the state run media. The republicans have offered up ideas like allowing insurance coompanies to operate across state lines to increase competition. Give tax credits to those who need help paying for insurance. Give employers tax breaks to paying for part or all of an employees insurance. There are private sector, free market solutions to the problem. The last thing we need is the gov't that has shown time and again it is grossly incompetent, inefficient, and ineffective at running ANYTHING, including a used car lot (cash for clungers). If you want socialism, you're going to have to move somewhere else, cause that dog won't hunt here. We ain't having any!

You and anyone else who believes that load of shit are just the kind of idiots nobama, pelosi, and reed are looking for. First the AMA ONLY represents approx 20% of ALL doctors, and NOT all of those agree with the bill. Second the ONLY reason AARP is even glancing their way is for all the SUPPLIMENTAL insurace they hope to sell to fill the gap for what the state won't cover, which once they realize they've GROSSLY underestimated the cost will be substancial. As for those fabrications. They are truth. Liberals have a problem with truth and facts, why? Because they debunk all the bullsh-t thay can conjure up. They get in the way of their agenda's. Like this farce over healthcare. NEWS FLASH clowns it has NOTHING to do with healthcare. It's all about CONTROL of even more of our lives and taking even more of our freedoms, like choice.

I think it is time to read "Henny Penny" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" again.

Looks like the sky is falling and I don't want to be throw in the briar patch.

Or maybe I should just turn on the radio and listen to the Rush hysterics, and save gas by not going to the public library.

Capital Hill police report, "we have never seen so many crossed-eyed people at one event."

Why doesn't Michelle renounce her Government Run Health care plan?

About 10,000 is exactly the number I had hoped would support Ms. Bachmann. Her Tea Partiers are loud, angry and ridiculous, but not numerous. That is good. They embarrass America. They are not, and never will be a majority. I note that in all of the photos I see, her constiuency is uniformly white and generally older. I also note that these ten thousand had time and money on a work week Thursday to visit Michelle at the capitol. How come? Who are these dopes? A lot of old white people with too much time and money on their hands? I think they, and she, need to use their heads for more than a hat rack!

No one will explain why Michelle won't renounce her fabulous, government offered healthcare, but I'm sure getting sick of the question. Why doesn't she? Why doesn't Nancy Pelosi? Why doesn't Harry Reid?

I agree and this is exactly what needs to happen. The politicians and their financial backers are responsible for dividing this country. The citizens on both sides have to take control of this country. We are ALL being led by corporations that set up off shore to avoid taxes, as do wealthy investors. Many lobbyist are
former politicians working on behalf of special interests groups who profit greatly at the public expense. This fight against Health Care reform is being driven by companies like United Health Care CEO's who are worth hundreds of millions of dollars in salary and their backers like Dick Armey. The teabaggers are nothing but lemmings, doing the work of profiteers who could care less about the citizens. Joe Liebermans wife is a lobbyist for health care companies and sits of boards for financial institutions! This fight is all about the money and is no different then what happen when Democrats tried to pass Social Security and Medicare. It is Anti-American to the core.

Backmann called - 10,000 were BUSSED in by the conservative group who sponsored it.

Some turn out.:(

Isn't funny how when the last President and his policies were questioned it was unpatriotic....now we have people bussed in for rallys against a different President and they're called patriots?

Hmm. I'm trying to figure this one out folks.
