"Read the Bill!" "Put the bill out there for the people to read it!" um ...
the RNC's insurance company had their "bill" out there since 1991 ... the RNC had at least 18 years to "read the bill" and change plans due to "abortion rights" ...

I guess that they (a bunch of government officials) are deciding to regulate a business ... telling a business what they have to do, instead of doing what every other American citizen has to do ... find an affordable health care plan that they are comfortable with ...

2. The GOP doesn't want people to read the bill.
They want people to glance at it, be intimidated by its size, and react in horror.

That's all. The GOP wants us uninformed.

4. Why is it we have a health care system in place
You retire, you go on Medicare and Social Security. Eliminate retirement for Medicare and what do you have? Besides our fight against big business?

5. The American Public
doesn't even watch what is going on in this country when it is flashed on TV, how do people expect them to read anything. Golly some of the republicans, those who make those crappy signs, can't even spell correctly. How would they know what a word is, if they saw it.
