If We the People would demand that Congress be subject to the same health care system that the peopple they represent have to live with...this debackle would dissapear and you'd start seeing some real meaningful reform.

Proposed: A Constitutional amendment limiting the perquisites, emoluments, benefits or other privileges Congress can grant itself and that includes giving themselves pay raises, without the consent of the electorate. Further their terms should be limited to two consecutive terms and permanent disqualification after that term is served. Opinions?

Yes. But the fact that you have a democratic majority, the odds of that happening are huge. Voters must first clean out the current clowns and put in place many independents to balance out the rest.

_____________________________________________________________
I've been working and paying into Medicare since its inception; why should I turn it down? That's like saying I should turn down my health insurance benefits, that I am also paying for. Myself, for my family, from my wages, without a handout, all on my own. It's called personal responsibility, but I guess you wouldn't understand about such things.

I recently had a very frustrating conversation with a staff member of a congressional member. I was told in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution..it gives congress the power to mandate health care. Guess I have a different version of the Constitution. I am not a Constitutional lawyer but I really don't see that in the writings. Any Constitutionl lawyers out there that can enlighten me? Judge...can we fight this?

If congress would only spend tax money as it was intended to be spent then we might not have a crises.
Just like with the LETS PRETEND ITS A HEALTH CARE BILL, Landrieu was the biggest prize winner so far as we know.
Hey, if your from Louisiana this is great but what about the rest of the states and why should we support this type of bs when it has nothing to do with health care.
Next thing you know every State will want a special entitlement that we will be paying for... Just imagine all the add on's and amendments that this bill leaves room for.
