Since the health care involves "We The People" - do you think you should have been allowed to...
vote on it?
Allow you to vote on who gets healthcare. How would that work?
I believe the American people should have been deeply involved in an issue that affects the lives of millions. The way the whole health-care issue was handled was a travesty and an insult to every voter in this nation. Our congressional delegates have gone way beyond the intent and scope of constitutional limits. What ever happened to "We The People"? That most congressmen and congresswomen could pass this after closed-door negotiations with the President smacked of corruption. That attempts were made to placate us by saying, "...we need to pass this law so that we can see what's in it.." is admission of incompetence at least, or a major attempt to insult the intelligence of the American People. Either way, we should have voted on an issue so large, or it should not have been considered as a bill at all.

I don't normally get involved in political debates, but had to wade into this one. Some foolish American magazine has made the following comment:"The controlling of medical costs in countries such as Britain through rationing, and the health consequences thereof, are legendary. The stories of...
