I work in/live near liberal capital of New York... no brainer and hopeless :rolleyes:

[JRUNNY]

Thank God for Paul Ryan.

Our congressman has stated that he's against it "in it's present form", which gives him some wiggle room. He is a republican, but was one of the GOPers who voted for cap and trade, and has come down on the Sierra Club side of environmental issues. After his "explanation" of the cap and trade vote, he was compelled to go back on the airwaves repeatedly to defend his vote, only to have caller after caller tell him that they will never vote for him again.
I do know that he had a meeting with medical people - doctors, nurses, hospital personnel - and was asked if he would accept the same government health care package in the bill that many of his constituents would be stuck with - he just laughed it off.

Two republican liberals...helping to distroy America one vote at a time as usual.

My Congressman, Blaine Luetkemeyer, supports reforms, but does NOT support Obamacare.

With RINOs Snowe and Collins of Maine, what do you think?:think:

Rep Debbie Halvorson D says she hasn't made up her mind yet. But I just found a youtube where 3 men were blocked from attending her townhall. There were signs saying Democrats and Union Members Only.

So do the math or take a wild guess.

Judging on past performance my congressman, Jim Moran, D, Virginia will vote for the most left bill available as he is in lock step with Pelosi..

"I want everyone to have access to quality, affordable health care." It is a line uttered by members of Congress on both ends of the political spectrum. But what does it mean when you get down to the nuts and bolts of reforming the nation's health care system?

We all know that in this troubled economy, families are increasingly worried about making ends meet and ensuring they are covered in the event of a health care emergency. That's why Congress must take action to make health insurance more affordable.

However, I completely disagree that we should raise taxes and cut care for seniors to put the government in control of the system. The current House plan calls for $500 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid over the next 10 years and places a stifling new tax of up to 5.4 percent on small businesses.

This misguided experiment will kill jobs, while the more than $1 trillion price tag will add over $200 billion to our ever-growing deficit.

There are other more sensible options that will lower costs and increase access to insurance while preserving the doctor-patient relationship and keeping you in charge of your care. Unfortunately, the bill being rushed through Congress short-changes these common-sense solutions, which I support:

• Expanding community health centers. They increase access to high-quality primary and preventive care that people can afford. Congress should increase their funding, which currently provides effective and affordable primary care services to over 18 million people each year - more than 7 million without insurance.

• Strengthening association health plans. Improving the buying power of employers to join together and provide affordable health coverage, as they currently do for more than two-thirds of Americans, will reduce the number of uninsured workers. We should allow individuals to purchase health insurance on their own, or through their civic clubs, church or fraternal organizations, across state lines so they have access to less costly policies.

• Enacting medical liability reform. Health care costs are going to remain too high as long as physicians are practicing defensive medicine, ordering unnecessary and expensive tests and procedures, because they are scared of getting sued. Reasonable limits on non-economic damages would discourage frivolous lawsuits that are artificially inflating health care costs.

• Encouraging preventive care. We simply must lower health care costs system-wide to significantly lower the cost of health care. We can do that by providing financial incentives for people to stay healthy and get treatment when they first need it, before illnesses progress and become more serious and costly.

• Reforming long-term care. Health reform is doomed to fail unless we reduce the cost of long-term care both for patients and government.

• Increasing transparency in prices. You would never buy a car without shopping around. Health care would be much more affordable if consumers were able to determine how much their care really costs and could comparison shop for treatments and medicine.

• Eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in federal health programs. Industry estimates are that as much as 10 percent of all health care spending is fraudulent. Simply streamlining delivery and stopping payments for care that is not or should not be provided will save billions.

"I want everyone to have access to quality, affordable health care." But let's not do it in a way that will limit choices, diminish quality, increase wait times or put federal bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be between you and your doctor.

Rep. Gus Bilirakis, a Republican, represents the 9th Congressional District, which includes parts of Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.

In the Peoples Republic of Maryland?? What kind of a question is that?
Our Rep. is C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger, the same waffler that jerked around on the unread "Stimulus" Bill by not committing to a decision until the roll was called. The jagoff is a Peelosy lapdog and party voter. Our Senators are Ben Cardin and the demented Barbara Mikulski. Cardin is a party guy and Babs did some good stuff in her day but those days are long gone. The suckers in Maryland just keep pulling that party lever over and over.
Were screwed.

Lloyd Doggett......need I say more! We had Ron Paul until the redistricting a couple of years ago and are just on the fringe of this A-holes district now.

[HenmanT]

Mike Pence is mine.

[Mohawk5]

I live in MD what do you think?

[citizen1]

Dumocrat Congressman Bob Filner doesn't "do" any town hall meetings....and has not done any for a couple of years!

He has been afraid to have "face to face" with own constituents! If you send him an email about an issue through his web site........he doesn't even acknowledge you with an "automated response".

He's an elitist pig in every sense of the word.

and.......it could also be because he knows that most of his district consits of "illegal aliens" who do not speak any English to begin with......... they wouldn't know what the heck he is saying anyway.
