Well it is about time the Democrats had a strong message and demonstrated support. We should coordinate these around the country–strongly disputing these tea party wing nuts.

It is clear that the issue of health care is something that we the American people have to look at carefully. We are one of only two countries in the world without a national health care plan. While some people are trying to demonise healthcare reform as socialism, millions of Americans will benefit and live a better life if we have a comprehensive healthcare reform. This is not an Obama agenda. This is the American people's agenda as demonstrated by the calibre of people that have come out in support of it.

The way the health insurance industry does their business will never be tolerated by the French people. It's amazing how tolerant the American people are of such social and economic injustice for decades. And, our Senate still insists on giving the health insurance industry their anti-trust exempt. It's totally inconceivable. I can only explain it as that the Senate no longer represents the People.

Why do you keep polling something that is not realistically pollable. The final bill is going to have significant differences to what you polled on Feb 12th to 15th.
So much has happened since then and many significant changes will be made, some to meet republican ideas, others to make it more palllatable to some democrats, and if Obama et al are true to thier word the Nebraska and other pork will be out and my guess is that has a big impact on current views of democrats and polling numbers.

see that moveon is out in force

Everyone wants to blame someone. We each need to look at ourselves first before casting stones at each other. We eat too much and eat crappy food. We don't exercise and live stressful lives. We smoke, drink and do drugs. We don't save money and don't live within our means. We expect doctors to be perfect or we sue them. We like hospitals with marble entrances, private rooms, good food...

So should we be surprised that we aren't healthy? That we need lots of medical care? That we cannot afford the care we get?

There may be a "silent majority" that is starting to WAKE UP!

Look out Tea Party,you have competition.The new up and coming Tea Party.

while I can understand what is being done, Health Insurance groups do not have as large a profit margin as most think. If you and hopefully the government really wants to see the issue with health care...look closely at the Pharmacy Industry. THEY are ones who really mess things up for people in this country. I seriously doubt the drugs cost as much as they charge but then again, their the ones setting the prices. Also, have people noticed that when some of the more popular and most needed drugs patent is about to end on a specific drug and generic medications can be made of this drug, that is also more affordable, the Pharmacy Industry is extending the patent so they can continue to pull in the money at everyone's expense. The Pharmacy Industry is THE LARGEST EXPENSE to the health industry! Check it out for yourselves! and contact you Congressman or woman!!! This is where President Obama REALLY needs to seriously look at!

This article does bring a chuckle...especially after the CNN poll is announced..with 25% of the population not approving of the current intent of a HCB.....and only 1000 showed up...lol...impressive..not.

And when government runs healthcare and it goes into the ground like a dart who will these closet commies picket then?

Exactly who will be accountable for the failed healthcare?

When you don't get the care you need because you are considered a cost over-run what will you do then? Who are you and your loved ones going to seek redress from then?

Can't blame the insurance companies then because they will be federally mandated.

Maybe you could go after Dean. He'll be quite deserving; if he's still in the country by then.

Has the retard Dean told you who will be responsible then?

Where have these people been for the last year and a half when the president has been bombarded with every form of negative from the "tea partiers' to the entire Repub.. party?What happened? Did they finally learn to read so that they understood that the president was trying to help them,their friends and relatives to have decent health care.Where have you been when you were needed. Blame yourselves if this isn't all we hope it to be.When called for, you weren't there.

Were any (I'm For The Little Man, Vote For Me), republicans in the picket area. I don't think so. They may come out in support of the insurance companys, and the C.E.O's, but not for you, the consumer.

Once again this is what passes as news, is CNN so desperate to gain readership of its website that this is what must be posted on its website. Republican, democrat, libertarian who cares about this, where is the deep understanding of issues that news reporters should be pursuing? Whats next CNN? I hear verizon has a new purple balckberry hitting the market. Maybe you could cover this in depth rather than covering a real story.

When 25 % want the health care but many more approve of parts, this tells me the government needs to listen to the public , scrap this bill they want to jam down our throats and address this issue one piece at a time. I want reform but I do not want what Obama and Pelosi offer. I also want those leaders buying votes to be impeached/tried for their illegal actions.

And next all the unemployed that Bunning screwed need to make their voices heard as well!

Attack these capitalists!
Yehhh... they dare making money and the president said they are stealing our health!
America the land of missed-opportunities!

Really?
Well the country is broke. The Republicans have the right Ideas. Let people buy health insurance from other states and Tort reform. It's for free, Give it a year or two and let's see what happens! Use the money to attack the deficit. Is this Administration Stoopid or is it me?

Good for them. There were 1000 of them and only 500 at the tea party convention.Funny how the 'liberal media' doesn't give as much coverage to those who want health care reform. All I hear from them is that no one wants it. I hear that it is needed from others including my rep friends.

You're picketing the wrong organization. OBAMA is laughing while you do his ignorant stuff. You idiots are playing right into his hands. His goal is the destroy America internally.

Lets get out of here doc, their too smart for me.

Corporate Crime Scene – Darn Right!

oooh i wish i could have been there may God bless those willing to stand up for ALL Americans.

Yah ,it is time now to all those hard working citizen tired of these politicians trying to block health care reform come out in large numbers and show that they are pro health care reform,we voted for obama to fix health care reform so it need to pass and those against should know majority of americans we support reform.....tired of politicians lying to us.

Note the difference in coverage this protest gets compared to the Tea Party protests opposing health care reform.

Huge difference! Way to go, CNN.

The Insurance leaders probably was discussing more ways to continue robbing the American people with the help from the GOP.

Thanks to organized labor and Howard Dean.

From a retired person who cares to see others obtain Health Care for all. I don't believe Republican Scare Tactics-Never did, Never Will.

I've listened to their lies long enough. their tactics just don't work in a
Constitutionally run Government.

They are speaking AGAINST the very constitution of the U.S.A. when they say NO BIG GOVERNMENT-meaning you, the people will not be taken care of. Republicans to me, in my opinion remind me of a COUP
against our Government and who we elected.!!!!!!

An astro turf protest lead by Democrat Howard Dean. And a protest organized by the Democrat party of NO TO THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WANT OBAMACARE KILLED. NO TO THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WANT CONGRESS TO START OVER AND WRITE A BETTER BILL. NO to the will of the American people on the stimulus, auto bailouts, growth in government spending and cap a trade. The American people get to register the final NO vote in November when they run the Democrats out of office.

Talk about "astro turf?" Someone call Darth Pelosi and show her this footage–THIS is Astroturf!

It's about time Liberals, Progressives, and other like-minded people got vocal. The right has been far too loud over the past year and their voice isn't supported by numbers.

I guess the next stop on the tour is the executives homes, just like they picketed the homes of Wall Street executives. Some of the other stops are the hospitals who charge $100 for a toothbrush and $50 for aspirin, then on to the doctors who schedule needless tests as defensive medicine, and finally, we'll end at the trial lawyers who sue even when there's no injury. Oh, wait, we won't go after the lawyers, Congress is full of them. The only thing this President has succeeded in is starting a class war.

It's about time that the American people let McConnell, Hatch, McCain, and their insurance buddies know that when they say the AMERICAN PEOPLE do not want health reform, they are not being truthful. You repubs keep worrying about the next elections and watch the AMERICAN PEOPLE who want and need health care turn into the dog that decides to jump up and bite your ass.

Ha! Thats awesome. Bout time someone start publicly calling these thieves out!

Is Howard Deen related to Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin?

' Health insurance premiums have gone up 128% in the last 10 years. How much more can you afford to pay?

it's ABOUT TIME that we have some folks that are in favor of healthcare reform get out there and show that they are. We've seen enough of the tea party folks and the GOPers out spreading falsehoods that nobody wants health reform. More people are in favor of this than you think and if nobody really wanted it why are the Republicans fighting so hard to try to stop it? If they feel the Dems are going to hang themselves in November if HC passes, then why not let them do it?

Iwant to keep payment for medicare from caterpillar but I don't need pay to health insurance cause obama have too much problems

I thought protesting corporate greed had become illegal, as it can only be socialist's shenanigans. Right?

And what do they say about people who work hard?

Oh yes, they work hard figuring out ways to slip your money into their pockets, so they should be able to keep it.

We need more protest.

Complete Dimwit sheeple!

Dean has a lot of nerve coming from the insurance belt and probably took a lot of change from them during his campaigns. Even Obama had them at the White House for a chat. The Dems will soon become the party of "NO more America" if they keep borrowing from China.

Why can't we get healthcare reform that starts with cutting the profits possible for the insurance companies? Also, lobbyists obviously run Washington, not the Pres, Congress or the people. Why is lobbying even legal? Is anyone working to make it illegal?

these loons are listening to Howard Dean????They need mental health care more than anything.

Obama is smart; getting people to go after health co, exc. without looking at what is really in Obamacare. Smart but sad. Please really look people; the cover is different from what is inside.
