CNN

They dont even know the specifics of what they are against. It is true HC needs to be overhauled...as every other social program in our Nation...but progress must not stop today. The true bill will be outlined in the days and months to come...under political fire...while some Americans are sacrificed by the loophole in this blanket broad signing. All they really have is a financial earmark with a gaping hole.

Hey GOP/Haters The Last Health Care Reform This Country Had Was In Mid-1960's, 30+ years ago! If The GOP Thinks This Is Just Paper, Then Truly They Can't SeeThe Forest For The Trees!

Who care!?!?! It passed!!!! Hooray!!!

How many years? How many years did it take for the Republicans to push through a Trillion dollars in war spending, most of which was never even sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. Most of it was given to companies to make better military vehicles, better weapons, most of which didn't work. Can we get our money back for the ones that didn't? NOPE. Republicans love spending taxpayer dollars for meaningless crap. What they hate is Democrats spending any money, at all.
No, this healthcare bill won't solve all of our problems, but it's a first step. Something the Republicans could have done, but didn't.

Why do HUNDREDS of people think they speak for the entire country... The ones with the loudest mouth are the minority and they are so LOUD, they don't even realize their voices are not being heard!!!

ALSO, if the REPUBLICAN'Ts are encouraging people to KILL THE BILL, then why are they offering a Health Care Bill or CLAIMING they have a Health Care Bill that is BETTER!!! They are actually protesting against themselves....ROTFLMAO... JEEZ, how stupid can they be!!!

My hope is that the people in congress don't vote because of how their frat brothers (or sisters) vote, meaning those in the republican party or the democratic party. I would like to see the day where each one is an independent thinker and vote for what is best for the American people back home. Read the bill, if you think it good for our country vote YES, if it isn't vote NO. I know this is a simple solution but if followed I believe that Congress would have an approval rating better than 23%

This vote almost down 165-228!

I hope this vote does not pass so, we can go on to the Dems plan!!! closer than ever in try to help people who do not habve Health Care!!!

If your against this bill call-(202-585-3886 only if your against this bill.

Rep. Steny Hoyer D-Maryland is on fires. yes!

Oh yeah...let's not spend a dime on healthcare for Americans here at home...but let's spend TRILLIONS of federal tax dollars on guns, planes, tanks, ships, and weapons so we can conquer the entire world and FORCE everybody to be just like US.

Vote coming Rep. Bruce Braley
D- Iowa 1st dis. can not get his words in.

Motion to recommit Final vote
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite
R0Florida 5th District one min.

Why is it that these same rednecks, who are sooooo opposed to government spending on healthcare, are perfectly fine with us spending unlimited amounts of federal tax dollars on weapons, invasions, occupations, nation-building in other countries, etc.

In fact, some of these rednecks even encourage it.

What good is it going to do us to conquer the world and force our will on everyone else if we can't even take care of our own here at home?

Do these rednecks really want the United States to be a military empire with a FEUDALIST economy? If they had THEIR way, that's exactly what we would be!

CBO and the U. S House not in order and they are acting like hens!

Many if not most physicians do NOT support the Democrat House bill despite CNN's and the White House's reporting that the AMA endorses it. Physicians that were affiliated with the AMA are no longer supporting the AMA (not joining or rejoining). Most physicians are now no longer members of the AMA. The latest endorsement by the AMA (actually trustees/ president) have been denounced by even AMA members including AMA delegates. The AMA Delegates are now pushing for a vote to revoke the AMA's endorsement. I'm surprised that CNN hasn't reported on the latter, only that the AMA endorses this bill.

Second, Vote-176-258-1

If you are for this bill call-(202)-585-3885 only if you are for this bill.

Frist, 240-194 votes!

$1.1 Trillon United States to pay for Health Care is a lot of Money?

238 votes in! yes!

Republican mathematics makes that "Tens of thousands protest health bill amid looming vote".

235 votes in!

Dems got it 219 votes!

H. R. 3962 will pass!
Rep. 48
Dem.129

Hundreds protest? Hundreds? Meanwhile millions wait. Okay "tea partiers" I have a question- actually 2 questions,
1st Question I get why the insurance companies are against this (after all if UPS or Fed Express could get rid of the Post Office and charge whatever the hell they want for sending packages I could understand them wanting to do so). I also get why the GOP leadership is against this bill as well (one need only lokk at how long they were out of power after being against Social Security) But why oh why are regular people against this?

2nd Question. If it really is about te money wher the hell were you guys when George W Bush decided we should spend 12 million dollars an hour on a war against a counrty that never attacked us? It has been a while but when W took office we were looking forward to surplusses as far as the eye could see. But that didn't seem to bother you did it?

CNN, I heard Lou Dobbs say you TRY to be in the center, but from what I see..........CNN, only prints comments that are positive to Obama. Others at my office have commented on the same thing. Interesting because every comment seems to be printed when I blog on Fox web sites. Are you trying to beat msnbc in your bias?

STOP THIS ATTACK ON THIS NATION.

This is against what we are as a nation, we are not CANADA, we are not United Kingdom we are the United State of America the Land of the Free.

This is not what America is all about, wake up America.

Part of the voting is on Rep. 28
Dem. 82

Rosalyn Casson – One question. Name one thing your Obama has done to make us proud. If you don't have anything educational to say please leave the space free. CNN is very chossy abou tpeople taking up space and not praising Their muslin lord OBAMA>

Only in America can something like this happen!!!!

My sister-in-law developed grand mal seizures 30 years ago after the birth of their daughter. She has been on a variety of different medications over the years, some have been effective in controlling the seizures but only for a limited time. A few years ago she started a new kind of medicine that had been very successful. Two months ago my brother's company changed insurance plans to save money. The new insurance would not pay for the medicine she needs. Her doctor wrote a letter explaining her situation and my brother pleaded with the insurance company. The insurance company agreed she could have the medicine with a co-pay of $480 for a 30-day supply. The prior insurance had a $25 co-pay. Thursday evening she was rushed via an ambulance to the ER because her seizures were uncontrollable. They gave her the medicine she needed and her seizures stopped so she was sent home. One would think it would be a lot less expensive to provide the medicine what works instead of having go to the ER. How many Americans can afford $480 a month for any kind of drug!!

This bill and the DNC direction is all wrong for America.

2010, and 2012, cannot get here fast enough. Obama is a disaster.

Let them protest. Its a free country and that the beauty of America is that you are free to state your opinion. But quite honestly they are really wasting their breath. Liberals are going to win this vote and this bill will pass. So they might as well start getting ready to accept it. I truly wonder how many of these people really even know half of what this bill stands for and what it would create for American citizens. I bet if they really sat down and listened they might actually be for it and not against it.

I wonder if the people protesting prospective health care bills are aware that the United States is the only industrialised western country that does not ensure all of its citizens have health care coverage. Think about it. By some estimates, 36 million Americans are uninsured. This is something Americans should be ashamed of. Speaking for Republicans (the party of NO), House Minority Leader John Boehner has said that with the US unemployment now at 10,2 percent, there was a need to defeat "this job-killing bill." The logic escapes me. If people are losing their jobs, they are also losing their health care. Most of them will have no "affordable options". The US system fails people who become unemployed. Obviously, "let the markets work" is a failure to when applied to health care, at least for tens of millions of Americans. The US spends far more on health care – both per person and as a share of national income than other industrialised western countries, yet with no improvement in the quality of care; the US lags behind western European country averages in key indicators like life expectancy and infant mortality. So, we clearly have a broken, expensive system that generates billions in profits for private insurance companies but at the cost of millions of uninsured Americans and growing personal bankruptcy for people facing huge medical bills. I wonder what these protesters would do if they suddenly lost their health care. Perhaps move to Canada?

If a minority of Americans don't like this bill ... IE the Tea Partiest

Then Get Out Of Our Wonderful Country ...

We don't need you ...

It's people like this . . . America has SERIOUS PROBLEMS!

that would be thousands.....if accuracy matters to CNN

Does anyone else think we Americans should vote on this? This is major legislation and I feel that we should have a say if we want our taxes increased because of health care reform.

Go Dem and pass the bill tonight, we poor people, middle class, and average are looking up to you to deliver. Rep are ridicule, and powerless. They only have the eyes to cry

All I can say is Obama is pushing HIS agenda and not listening to the American taxpayers. I'm a registered Democrat and I can't wait to NOT LISTEN to the extreme left Democrats and Obama in 2010 and 2012. They might be speaking for their jobs.....but, I won't be listening! They deserve to be fired.

Democrats will cause America to collapse.

Willing to bet Maddie will be a registered Democrat when she turns 18.

This bill should be DOA; if it passes the country will be DOA from all the debt that Obama and company are running up. This country is broke; we cannot afford to keep spending like this. WAKE UP PEOPLE

when they're done, can they pls make sure to recycle their prop?

Preston kathy glen beck told bill orielly if you can not pay for health insurance you you do not get health insurance beck said if your sick go to the er room what he did not say was you might get a bill for thousands of dollars i wonder what beck would do if he did not know how he can afford his next meal

Republican Virginia Foxx of NC is 66 years old – she's on government-run health care.

What a hypocrit she is – like the rest.

They don't want to destroy the bill, they want to destroy our President and the little people in this country that have done without decent insurance for decades. (They sure have it tho).

Wow. Hundreds of protestors. The teabaggers are right! America is opposed to the health care bill! How could I have been so blind!

I'm watching a report now about the horror of Islamists who feel compelled to terrorize Americans. I see no difference in these fools than I do in the teabaggers who demonize our president and those senators who stand on the steps of the Capitol and incite, with their lies, Americans to overthrow this administration. And yet no one in your newsroom is drawing this parallel. How can we (rightly) call extremist Muslims terrorists, while ignoring the terrorists in our own Congress and the hoards of frightened and ill-educated followers they incite?

Funny how life works. These people so against health insurance for all feel so secure in their jobs. I wonder how they will feel once they lose their job and so goes their insurance... Could they also send us taxpayers a check for their parents and grandparents medicare that WE pay for? You see, we would pull ourselves up by our bootstraps but healthcare execs and wallstreet have stolen are laces–

Its too bad the senate does not represent the citizens of this country in terms of population... If so the dems would have an even stronger majority and this thing would be done already... Keep up the great work democrats ! Never mind what the union for corporate america(repugs) want!

Hundreds of teabaggers in one place? sounds like a freaky party.

Gee! "Hell no?" Wonder if any of those GOP protestors are worried about "going to hell" themselves for cussing???!!!!!! I thought the Christian right didn't use profanity?????????????????

The Democrats need to pass single payer non-profit universal health care. Then let the Republicans, blue dogs and for profit health insurance companies continue their temper tantrums.

This President and the Democrats need to stop trying to get help from the republicans and just get things done.

Do health care now then on to energy and immigration. The hell with the Republicans.

Elections have consequences and givng the Democrats Control of Congress and now the White House has led to 10.2% UNEMPLOYMENT and trillions upon trillions of debt. And tonight they are voting for the Government to take over our healthcare system which will give them control of every aspect of our lives from whether we smoke to whether we are too fat or too thin. It will also cost Trillion upon trillions more, and the cost and taxes will drive UNEMPLOYMENT even higher. The American people are opposed to this bill tonight, but they will ram it down our throats. We are powerless to prevent this until 2010. Every Democrats voting to cram this down our throat needs to be defeated!

Next time I vote I want the person I am voting for to take a hearing test. Either 98% of these low-life politicians are completely deaf or they just don't give a dam@ about the people who pay their salary.

Gee first you said it was millions, you were proven wrong..

Then it was 50 thousand, and you were proven wrong

Now hundreds did all of ten people show up.

I bet you that less than 10 congress people have read the bill and understand it. If passed, it will have more surprises than the stimulus bill. We all know what a success that bill is....NOT!!!!!!!

If the GOP doesn't want Healthcare forget them and get her done.

i guess all of them were bunch of crazy white people

It was more like thousands!!

I see the GOP and FauxNews has staged another moron event at taxpayer expense. These moonbats don't represent America...they represent a dying political party, being eaten away from within by the very actions of traitors like Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Boehner, Cantor, & Bachmann, etc.

GOP: Evolve or die...

I work for he City of Houston. And I have excellent benefits including health insurance. And guess what ? I still believe we need health care reform. Come on Tea baggers this is not about you. Think of others besides yourselves. I thought you people believed in Christian values? I guess NOT!

Ron Paul 2012

The GOP has become a hate group. I am not talking about race. I am refering to the fact tha conservaties hate anything and anyone diffrent from them.

Why do these people continue to say that they want the Government to keep their hands off their healthcare. Can they all please give back their medicare cards to the Government.

... and what do these Americans want? They couldn't tell you – just keep repeating what they believe they don't want. "Stay the course" while the insurance agencies and Big Pharma celebrate "mission accomplished!" – asked later – the naysayers will be asked why – but will only reply. "I don't recall" .... health reform has been needed since the Truman Era ... how much longer shall we wait?

History in the making!

Look at the number of comments on the ticker issue and in relation to what they are about. Palin and neggies about Obama bring hundreds of comments. Either gnashing at Palin or soaking up the rays for defense of "tha one", Amazing at the limited commentary from people on issues and real news. Like the old saying "great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss things, and Small minds discuss people". This monstrosity of a health care ruse will make lbj's great society look like an after school program. Uneducated people floating on the vapors really dont care why or what, just WHO!!!! SMALL PEOPLE BIG IDEAS? TAX ME BABY!!! The new American motto BTW!!!

If the Blue Dogs do not vote to stop the Insurance Industry greed, they will be voted out next election. They are Republican in disguise anyway.

218 votes needs to pass this bill but, not over. Still more work to go!

Apparently the "Kill The Bill"crowd all have insurance so why should they care if their friends and neighbors get sick and die for lack of health care.

The U. S House is keeping America great! They are the lawmakers of this land go to Congress.org working for the people!

Seriously it is childish for we Republicans to oppose such important bill without strong workerable alternative. Going by this gross lack of ideas from my party, my family and I may consider our future elsewhere. It is hard to put up with hatred and divisive politics!

That noisy bunch do not represent me. I want health care reform and nearly everyone I know does also. If the GOP is right that the government would make decisions, at least they are accountable to the people every two years. The insurance companies are not.

Besides the 13% tax increase on the businesses that create jobs, I think it is only fair that everyone should give the government more money. Rich or P.elosi, O.bama, O.r, R.eid, look how well they have done.They did such good a job after getting unemployment over 10% and running up a $1.4 trillion, they voted themselves a fat raise. Well worth the money I think. So tell them to vote yes on every bill that gives more money to them.

Just one question....They all yell."kill the bill" Do they want to stand up and be counted when thousands of men,women and children die for lack of health care?

I think you should ask the Tea bag Protesters how many people will they be willing to support..lets see how many of them willing to add to their policies
Its one thing to protest and gave a valid reason but to protest to protest..NO!
They said that the bill is not on the website for viewing well were is the REPUBLICANS bill for us to compare it to...MIA

The Tea Party Movement is build up by the Media of Fox Business News Because the Reps. are not in office anymore tell the tea party it about respect and the Rich guys with all the wealth do not want to help the people with Health Care and the Top 1% should pay there taxes and they are pulling the covers over there eyes using kids on the house floor the GOP is better than that!

Capital Hill is on a roll needs 218 votes to pass! The people will get what they want Was D.C. taking care of the peoples.

Good point GOP. I too hate big documents!

GOP, party of small ideas.

Vote no on Pelosi health care

Why on earth is Congress overhauling our nation’s health-care system with a costly new government spending program during the worst economic downturn and highest unemployment rates since the 1980s? With a jobless rate of 10.2% and 15.7 million Americans out of work, this massive 1,990-page bill will cost U.S. taxpayers $1.055 trillion over the next 10 years, much of it funded by a taxpayer surtax. Our country already owes $56 trillion in entitlement obligations to China, Saudia Arabia and other countries. Yet this onerous bill will add trillions of dollars to our ballooning national deficit, which has doubled since 2000 to nearly $12 trillion for the first time in history.

To make matters worse, this bill funds abortions – all at U.S. taxpayer expense.

In a word, this bill represents a socialistic takeover of our privatized health care system. The Senate majority will no doubt pass it, as well.

We can't afford onerous legislation that will lead to burdensome new taxes, higher federal deficits that generations to come will be shouldering, and onerous government intrusion into American's lives. Let's hope the U.S. Supreme overturns Congress by ruling it unconstitutional.

Thank you for supporting the needs of your fellow Americans, you ignorant, belligerent, party-line tea-baggers. I will hate and disrespect you as long as I live.
