Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi would love to come up with a way to bash heads in private and skip any public discussion that further reveals just how incoherent and unworkable both the bills are.

They have done this already. Everything that has passed thus far has been handled in the same fashion.

Contrary to campaign promises... I'm just saying.

Just one of many promises that for some reason has gone to the wayside.

Change man, change.

When did people believe campaign promises?

I guarantee you... there will be a Republican majority in Congress after the next election.

a senator CANNOT go against 75-80% (depending on the poll you look at) of the people and do whatever the hell they want and keep their job.

I think the majority of people in this country have had it with Pelosi, I think they are nearing absolute disgust with all of these "entitlement programs" and the end is very near for these fools.

Personally i have had it.

and if they sign this thing into law i will NOT be buying insurance.

MY GOVERNMENT CANNOT AND WILL NOT MANDATE TO ME THAT I AM REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A SPECIFIC GOOD OR SERVICE

it is unconstitutional in every way shape and form and i vehemently REFUSE to take part in it.
