Why is Amy K working on all these extraneous issues and not holding a Very valualble town hall meeting regarding Obama Care. OMG there is nothing more important than defeating this socialist program.
Is she sticking her head in the sand and drinking the kool aid too?

Well from the looks of those schedules, they made dang sure no one can catch up to them to ask any questions regarding the ObamaCare issues. I guess this is what it looks like when run around, trying to look busy!

Wake up people! Outside of Congress (who has there own royal health plan) this nebulous legislation could in the future affect your very life! Now, I’m not a fan of the insurance companies, and it is true that our present system needs improvement, this governmental takeover (or repackaged co-ops PLEASE! is the precursor to single payer governmental healthcare! Barack wants single payer…..Barney want single payer (but does’nt have the votes) …Look what the government has done to medicare and medicaid…. BROKE worse than broke owning billions…Then there is social security and the POST OFFICE! they can’t even deliver the mail …5+ Billion in debt. Canadian health care is broke….my relatives will attest to it. In Britain 64 years old and no bybass surgery….Ted Kennedy would have been dead for months. But the real question has not been addressed. If Britain and Canada is so bad, why don’t they change?…..Because if this is passed, it is almost impossible to rescind the law. Lets take it slow…Tort reform/change interstate prohibition of insurance/rescind anti trust laws to let any group of individuals get group rates. let people control the first 1-2K of their health care expenses to help eliminate the lack of motivation to save money. Let doctors create HMO’s/Look at the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic health care for their folks and see how they provide first class health care for minimum cost. Don’t let this largely manufactured issue open the door to socializewd medicine. It could kill you.

Well thomas, apathy, which is what I am picking up from you is what got us to this godforsaken point. If you are against this socialist takeover of our country, then you need to get to any townhall on the Bamster’s Healthcare issue and speak up. It is how the left has been gaining power. We need to do likewise but better.

Here are Bachmann’s health-care “forum” details. Conveniently scheduled during the middle of the afternoon, and it’s a guarantee that Bachmann will take no questions.

Doors open at 1:45 pm

Along with my special guest, Congressman Michael Burgess, who practiced medicine before coming to Congress and who sits on one of the House committees with jurisdiction over the health care reform legislation, we’ll be discussing the proposals that are making their way through Congress and hearing your thoughts on this important issue. I hope you’ll join us for this critical discussion.

you can tell them all you want – call them or email them. Or were you just looking for a public forum to claim your 15 minutes of fame?

I guess residents of the state of Minnesota will not get a chance to tell our elected representatives what we think of 0bama’s healthcare proposal.
