'Un-American' attacks can't derail health care debate
By Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer

You have to follow the link due to copyright issues with USA Today. You are not allowed to copy the article and post. Those two sentences speak volumes about where Pelosi/Hoyer decided to do their editorial knowing full well that if we followed the copyright of USA Today, we couldn't post the article.

To call it Un-American if you attack OBAMACARE is Un-American in itself. Trying to stiffle dissent is as Un-American. I have already posted Dr. Coburn's article that details what we need to know about healthcare and how Dr. Coburn others are working on a plan. Democrat liberal leadership who is out of touch with Americans don't want to hear anything but the Feds taking over Healthcare. Why do they refuse to consider other ideas?

With the Democrat Socialist plan they will pay for all abortions, illegal healthcare, end of life when their committee determines no more money will be spent on your healthcare. When did this Country stop carrying about the senior citizens. AARP is already behind OBAMACARE which talks about end of life and preparing people to die. AARP is nothing but a greedy group of people who could care less about the people they are supposed to represent -- senior citizens. But yet, we are Un-American for pointing out the facts. Why should I have to pay to fund abortion on demand with my tax dollars?

These two members of Congress are showing they have no intention of listening to the American people because they know what is best for all of us as we are Un-American because we dare oppose OBAMACARE.

The Democrats are the ones supporting the organizing and busing people into an OBAMACARE rally in Orlando the end of the month. Not Republicans who Pelosi called Nazi's for demonstrating but Democrats being paid by a host of their liberal organizations. Right out of Alinsky -- attack your opponent on what you are doing which is what Pelosi is very good at doing.

In Dr. Coburn's article he talks about plans being developed in the Senate that cost next to nothing but the Democrats won't hear of that because the liberal leaders of Congress and in the WH want to take over Healthcare in the United States and put it under the rule of the Federal Government. They want to decide who lives and dies which is Un-American.

Someone has taken the time to go through the first 500 pages and hit the lowlights of the bill. Read the them and then ask yourself why we are being called Un-American because we don't want the Government taking over Healthcare in another move toward Socialism. It is not just Republicans, it is Independents and Democrats who are also opposing this bill. Read this synopsis of the first 500 pages, and then tell us this bill is good for Americans and I will tell you that you are a socialist because that would be the only people supporting this bill.
