Why are people so angry at the health care town halls?

Not necessarily after it is passed, but if people are gonna whine, they should at least wait until there is a final version to whine about.

There should not be any whine before its time.

That's why I posted that the appropriate thing to do NOW is write to your representatives.

I disagree. People should not wait until zero hour to help formulate policy. Think about it: this WOULD be the final bill if the masses were silent.

And what do you base this on?


Is it your position that if this immeasurably small sample of the citizens who are bitchin at town meetings had not bitched, that this bill would have gotten through all the committees and garnered agreement in both houses of congress by now?

I don't think that is a reasonable assumption.

Demonstrations at a small number of town halls is simply not going to have that much impact on the House or the Senate.

I'd have to disagree with the above post. Everyone I talk to, including all the Canadians I deal with on a daily basis, do not want this health care as prescribed.

Goverment has proven time and time again - they are wasteful, and the one shoe fits all sizes approach never works. That is why we have choices and competition in this country. What they describe is not a choice and has no competition.

Canada's system is going bankrupt. Their own PM said it is a disaster. They will be going to a private system. We however can't see over the fence with the media constantly distracting you, and we are creating our own disaster.

Stupid people.
