Why can’t this be discussed at a meeting that people who have to work for a living (constituents) can attend. This is a sham – having a meeting with political insiders and a few special interest types while the rest of us (the ones that will actually pay for this nonsense) are working is nothing more that avoiding us and we know it. Have the courage to do this on a series of Saturdays if you are interested (an I know you are not) in our opinion.

Brain dead Arlen wants to give us healthcare like his old russia gave him! Let’s kill th elderly and (as Obama said) give them an aspirin instead of an expensive pace-maker! Take away our doctors…. take away our choice… punish doctors that authorize specialists…. fine people who don’t have healthcare…
Then, to put the icing on the cake, KILL THE BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD!!! I think we have our proof – Arlen is senial

“Why can’t this be discussed at a meeting that people who have to work for a living (constituents) can attend.”
Because they want as many people as possible in attendance who don’t have a job — and probably no health insurance. That way only maybe 75% of the audience will be against socialized medicine.
