I think it stems from a sincere motivation to grant access to health care to a segment of the population that has been denied such coverage.

The Republicans and Democrats have attempted various reforms over the decades with some success and some failures. It is an extremely difficult issue to grapple with and no way will you keep all people happy all the time. It's an impossible task and this latest attempt at reform may ultimately fail to pass as well.

Flawed though it may be, I hope it does pass. We really do need to address the issue of to many American's being denied quality health care for one reason or another. THAT is simply not acceptable in a civilized society.

You cannot be serious!!! (why does that sound familiar?)

A politicians every waking moment, probably sleeping ones too, is about power and re-election. NOTHING ELSE. Compassion? That's pure bullsh!t they sell to the doting liberal public. And the public eats it up because they want to feel good about themselves. But the politicians, either party, care about your vote and your money. Your life, health, and happiness are nothing to them. If you have no money and/or no vote, YOU mean nothing to them. That is why more than half of the alleged "Uncovered" will remain without coverage when and if this worst of all legislation passes.

They lie, you buy!
