HOON Vs. McCaskill
This is how bad this liberal pinhead wants to hear your views on healthcare. Please do not think for one second your voice is going to persuade her to do anything but vote FOR a government take over of some kind.

Concerned Americans are being portrayed as republican plants and Nazi's by their elected officials as well as the media. They're trying to put an anti-american spin on the dissent when it's just the opposite.
Why do you folks continue to give cover to the Insurance and Drug companies? Medicare is a government run program and it is great. The only problem with it is the actions of the last administration's removal of ceiling prices they could charge. Before that regulating the prices kept ALL from overcharging...think back of when the health care and insurance costs started jumping 20% or more a year...same time medicare co-pays were raised. This was not intended to aid the citizens, but rather the drug companies. Why not enter the discussion with legitimate dialog...any body can just say NO.
BillHilly: Medicare is BROKE. The last administration, or any administration for that matter, approves NOT ONE cent of money spent. NOT a dime. Congress does my friend. There are indeed problems with our system (you, GOAT, and dexterite know that George Bush created those along with any other problem this country faces) and these MUST be addressed. But to involve the biggest bunch of idiots in the entire world which we call Congress and have the same government who couldn't run a lemon-ade stand without losing money control 1/6th of our economy is just plain dumb. Problems? Yes. Tough fixes? Yes. Complete overhaul? NO! Government takeover? Hell NO!
Just think, if Al Gore would have been elected, we wouldn't have been attacked on 9-11, we wouldn't have a deficit, gas would be FREE, stocks would be way up, we wouldn't have a housing crisis or unemployment or anything else wrong. Life would be good and my solar panels would have smiley faces on them.
Questions to ask the Socialist Senator:
1. Have you read the bill in its entirety?
2. Why don't you Democrats just tell us the truth- you are opposed to private insurance covered health care, right?
3. Why are you having your townhall meetings during the hours most bluecollar workers are at work? I thought you Democrats were for the working class.
4. Does the House bill fund Planned Parenthood?

5. Does the House bill ration care for the elderly?

6. Does it ration healthcare for babyboomers?

Go with information. Knowledge is power! The Democrats don't want you to have the info!
"As more and more Americans and businesses struggle to afford health care coverage, McCaskill has been hearing from Missourians who are concerned about health care reform efforts in Washington"
Sounds like her agenda is already in concrete. I bet she doesn't want to hear any comments or views contrary to the "party line".
My Mom had many "Medicare" medical expenses the last years of her life..and with Medicare Supplement "B", if I'm not mistaken, she paid VERY LITTLE out-of-pocket. The supplement cost her a paltry $60 per month. Chump change relatively speaking. Yes, the system does have problems, mostly from gold-digging insurance companies, doctors, and every variation of "medical" professional.....but, the bottom line is that folks WILL receive treatment. It's the corruption and cheating and over-charging that needs to be fixed...but NOT from a socialist president and his sickle wielding cult, also referred to as the DEMOCRAT MAJORITY.
Pretty good stuff '72...don't forget the loads of money wasted on shady and some downright unethical malpractice lawsuits. Libs don't want to worry about this problem due to their powerful backing from those in the legal profession.
