McDonnell opposes Virginia participation in health care billa s public option

Virginia Gov-elect Bob McDonnell said this morning that he hasn't read the entire health-care bill that narrowly passed the House of Representatives last night but that the "public option does not seem to be something that's going to help us in Virginia." "I think there [are] legitimate issues of cost and access that have got to be addressed at the ...

I think there is a lot of hysteria over health care reform that is not justified. Those on the right are particularly heinous in their hyperbole and claims are often exagerated without backup information to prove and verify their arguments. The conservatives are not Logical in their way of thinking. It is disenguous, false and fake to claim concern over the National Debt when there was no expression of concern during the Bush years when the National Debt was expanded by over $4 trillion dollars!! My sense is that the propaganda propogated by the conservative political machine has overstepped the bounds of civility and discourse in debating the merits, pro's and con's of a much needed reform of a basic service that we all need to survive. Medical and health insurance reform, as we know it in this country, are desperately needed, and we all know it.
To gain true reform, we would have to go to a single payer option to force insurance companies to lower costs, or to eliminate them totally. Why do we accept that we have to ahve health insurance companies? This country did fine without them for well over 200 years. We didn't have large corporate insurance companies until 30 years ago. We did fine without them before that time.
This kind of ranting does nothing to improve the debate... "We the people who stand for our constitution better start taken back our land before it is too late. Medicare,social security,taxes are in jeopardy with Obama and the democrats who want to enslave our country. We stand up or shut up America." <<< Totally irrational and illogical. Which planet does this guy come from? We don't need this kind of talk.

Someone in this country dies every 12 minutes, 45,000 per year, because they don't have health insurance, or because they were denied eligibility for services. Does that make you stop and think for a minute? Those who want to deny health care reform are condemning more to die. Where is your sense of morality and compassion? And yet, you scream about abortion, You are Pro-Life..
Doesn't it bother you that 45,000 peopla a year die in this country due to lack of health insurance coverage? Do you even think about this?
Where is your respect for the sanctity of human life? I would like to know. Can someone tell me how it is helpful to our society and country to deny someone insurance coverage?
We've all heard of the "death panels", which was an expression coined by the insurance panels to describe the panels of doctors who decide insurance eligigility... who decide whether someone lives or dies. What I want to know is how could you possibly be so selfish and so lacking in compassion for your fellow human being? Can someone tell me?

This is just ACORN and liberal propoganda that has been copied from many other forums. This reform is a power move and nothing more. This does nothing to empower the patient in their health care. All we are doing is moving the power from the insurance companies to the government and that helps no one.

Huh?

Virginia Democrats have increased the state payroll tax. Already overtaxed working people have now been given another stab in the back.
