KILL THE BILL proponents are killing their fellow Americans who cannot afford health care cover and are doomed to die a miserable death. These staunched chauvinists whom are killing the bill are killing a lifeline of 50 + million Americans without health care and they don’t give a damn about it. I wonder if these kill the bill people deserve to share the Planet with the rest of the humanity?

pupte, Your comments are wrong. there are many programs for the people wo. insurance. Besides, in the current bills the illegal aliens (undocumented democrats) get coverage. We, the American people are tired of the push toward socialism. And trust me, I know what I am talking about as a political refugee from Eastern Europe...

Cobra, Nobody wants the socialism-communism from the past but if you take the healthcare system from socialism, (from your native country from the east) and blend it with the liberties which have swept the World in the past 20 years, (excluding evil America because it has gone backwards), that is the way forward for the humanity. America is living in the Stone Age as far as the health care of its citizens is concerned.

Gov't officials in the USA make their money from lobbyists, not the people. Protesting doesn't do a thing anymore. The American media doesn't even cover the protests. I don't expect the USA to stand for anything admirable anymore unless the people figure out a way to eradicate the fascist corporatism that has taken over the country. It may very well take some help from the other superpowers.

Plumber breaks his arm in the UK. He is never able to get medical attention that he needs because of RATIONING. Google Torron Eeles and tell me what good "humanity" is when your only remaining doctors are muslim immigrants that commit terrorism. What good is there in giving 50 million people health care and when you're loosing doctors? Tell me what right do you have to take other peoples freedoms away for your own selfish needs. You think you're moving to the front of the line but you're going to left wondering why you're still at the back of the line for the rest of your life. You can keep your so called humanity.
