The Whitehouse has just opened the door to bi-partisanship...so they say. They have allowed some of the Republican points to be allowed into the faltering health care bill, although I'm not sure of why the need for more regulation on the Fed Level... Why do these people not listen to the folks? What is so wrong with free market?Let the insurance industry be allowed to become open to all states, allow each state to regulate the insurance companies, rein in the lawyers...and keep the Feds out of the game.

Thomas Jefferson knew the outcome when he said, "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them". He also said, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." I know that the bureaucracy feeds upon itself, but we need to vote these people out of office who don't heed to the will of the people. It matters not if they think it is for our best interest, because their ideas are based on power and a socialist plan that has never worked favorably in the history of mankind.. The founding Fathers had the idea of a Republic, where only the elected should decide on the direction of our country, but as Benjamin Franklin indicated, our freedom is predicated on personal responsibility....the original intent was based on integrity and decency for the betterment of all...the current leadership has a contrary opinion for our great land...and should be drummed out, never to return again.....

Later...
