-and yet not 1 congressperson wants to change what they have and go onto this new Gov. Health System. Make this new health care system mandatory for all public officials.

I am glad that he is coming out shooting. The far right loves to throw their kids into the fray to win over the nut bags with lies. This may shut a few of them up....

The government used to be in charge of sanitation and proved to be totally and utterly inept at it. What makes anyone think Obama and the Democrats can be trusted to set up a program that doesn't erode health care and not waste billions and billions of tax payer dollars in the process.

The government has already proven they weren't capable of hauling away the trash, why would anyone think the Government can run health care?

One only needs to look at the failing Social Security and Medicare programs for that answer.

86 yrs of age - I would say that is a health care success. -With ObamaCare you are looking at 40yrs tops.

Does ObamaCare make smoking mandatory -Like Prez. Obama. Or is it still do as I say not as I do?

invokes grandmother's death

Surely, the government didn't put limitations on her health care. So what is he"invoking" here? Emotions? Sympathy?

People just flat out don't trust the US government. Why should they? The govt cant even run the post office, a commuter rail line or tell the truth about who got all the $787 billion in taxpayer bailout money. Oblama says, "trust me". Based on what? ....No we aren't going to raise your taxes....Ooops! sorry! yes we are? Why the ~%$# should we trust tax and spend Big brother with our lives? Tyranny is never as insidious as when it tells you it is working in our own best interest.

“the notion that somehow I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so they can go around pulling the plug on grandma.”

This coming from the guy who said he'd have his own unborn grandchild put to death so his daughter won't be "punished with a baby"?
