1. Destroy the best health care in the world.

What? France's? How is US law gonna ruin French health care?

Even though there are zero explanations as to how HCR will cause all these horror stories, this complete lack of knowledge about how the WHO rate countries tells us all this guy is full of it. He's either stupid, which I doubt, or knows he's a liar for profit.

2. Physician?

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

[Guilded Lilly]

3. "the best healthcare system in the world..."?????

"Physician Heal Thyself."

fear mongering... THE language of the Right.

Sorry Pal, I don't prescribe to your political "religion"...and I wouldn't have set foot in your professional Dr.s office either.

7. The AARP got behind this bill for a reason!

The AARP has a long history of fully investigating legislation and its effects on its members (seniors) before choosing whether to endorse or fight any particular bill. The fact that the AARP is supporting the Democrats health reform proposals is enough to be sure that the Republicans are full of it. Can one actually believe the AARP is supporting legislation that will cause their members to die earlier??? That's ridiculous!

A couple reasons this plan is so good for seniors is that it will end the "donut hole" that currently causes most seniors to pay a bunch out of pocket for their prescriptions and it will substantially lower the costs of their prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices directly with the pharmaceutical companies (something outlawed during the Republican Congress).

Even though I hate this jackass, Democrats need to start employing the same fear tactics as they clearly work for a large segment of the population. We need to start talking about the 45,000 people who die each year from lack of coverage! This is our trump card that Democrats never seem to play and unlike the Republican version, ours is true!
