• Democrats try to move on health bill

  Wed Sep 23, 2009
  • It seems to me that if the health care industry is so trustworthy and worried about reform, they would already be offering new plans with no pre-existing conditions and lower co-pays/better wellness care in an effort to show Congress and the nation that they are willing to change.

  • Chappaquiddick. The true test of integrity and honesty in a man is his actions when no one is watching. He left his girlfriend to drown (while cheating on his wife). That is what I will remember about Mr. Kennedy.

  • It just proves that the rich and powerful can and will continue to get away with criminal conduct.  The true test of a man's honesty and integrity is his actions when no one is watching.  Chappaquiddick showed what the man was all about.  That's what I will remember about Mr. Kennedy.

• Obama retools pitch for health care legislation

  • Why will it take 5 years to implement the health care reform, assuming its passes at all. It only took 5 days to pass TARP and bailouts. Why not just lower the medicare age from 65 to 50 and let us pay affordable premiums directly to medicare until we turn 65. Why reinvent the wheel ?

  • The Feds should take over the whole state. Its clear the Ca. elected officials can't run it. All they want to do it fight for power. They could call it the District of California and have a western white house in Sacramento.
