Far as I am concerned, Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. More things change, more stay the same.
On a side note, health care reform is needed. The current healthcare plan on the table is not perfect, but I still support it.
If you are not for ANY type of healthcare reform, then you are not currently sick and believe you will never get sick.
Flame away.

Actually I am for some form of healthcare reform. Our system of healthcare is not perfect and it could use some tweeking, but I am not for changing it like this. The Constitution and the laws need to be followed. The whole argument that circumventing the rules of the Congress were done before, so it's okay to do it this way now doesn't hold water. Two wrongs don't make a right. If it was wrong then, then it is wrong now. Politicians love to point fingers and play the blame game, constantly screeming that it is justified for them to break the rules today because the other side broke the rules yesterday. That's BS. Theoretically if you broke into my house and stole something from me, could I then break into your house and steal something from you at a later date and then simply explain to the police that I am justified in doing so because you did it to me in the past? Good luck with that one. There are a lot of good ideas for reform out there, but those ideas need to be crafted into bills as laid out by our Constitution and then voted on. If it passes, then it is law. If it is not, then thanks for trying, better luck next time.
