   He’s asking the public what they think? The public has told him for months they don’t want government in control of our health. Obama and the Democrats are not listening to the public, they are attempting to force government control on the people. That’s why they can’t get the 60 votes, even Senators are smart enough to be against Socialism.Choice is not creating a huge government plan and forcing people that loose their insurance to take it. Save the crap about how it does not do that

   Just to show an example to you right wing rednecks and those pricks from the GOP i am going compare the hybrid system used in Japan to the current system in the United States. Just for you analyze and the difference.

   First of All Obama is trying to make America into a hybrid system And what a hybrid is a system in which you have both private/public options, also unlike single-payer it has no gate keepers, you can choose your doctors. It is used in Japan, Brazil, New Zealand, France, and Germany. But sense you listen to your redneck friends on Fox and the Radio, you probably never heard of this system. But this system is a UHC succes story.

   Our government & representatives DO NOT work for the people of the US. They instead work for Wall Street Financial interests & shareholders. The purpose & job of our government is to care for and govern the people. It’s job is NOT to care for & govern Wall Street. Our governments job is to Govern. NOT MAKE MONEY! We MUST return our government back to the people and we must support leadership that will take us there. Please support LaRouche. LaRouchePac.comm

   Residents of Green Bay have no rght to complain. Wisconsin is a highly liberal state and socialists have been elected. They got exactly what they voted for.

   You are obviously republican. You are right that we need to regulate and reduce prescription drug costs. However the republican politicians reject every effort to regulate drug prices. Canada regulates drug prices (30% less than in the US) and republicans try to stop old uninsured people from going across the border for prescription drugs.Also, you act like people just choose to not buy health insurance, the problem is that they can’t afford it, not that they choose not to buy it.
