And you seriously believe what NPR said? It has been on the front end since
the day Obama started running for presidency.
I just saw a poll that out of over 1000 physicians surveyed, over 60%
opposed this plan, and 40% actually said they'd consider leaving their
practice if it passed.
BTW, today's rasmussen poll just reached a new high: 55% of people oppose it
now! as people read through this bill, more people will get turned off.

So food and medicine shouldn't be for profit either, right? and underwear:
everybody should wear it, if one can't afford underwear, there should be a
government program for that too, right?
conditioned
Again, the denial of pre-conditioned people: you shouldn't wait till you get

scoreboard:
Which healthcare options doctors favor:
Private: 90% Publ
