Cheris: While I agree with your thesis, I would include some of the Democrats in the pockets of the health insurance industy (and banking industry). It is a situation that has developed over decades and will not be easily reformed. The need for massive campaign funds and the paltry salaries we pay our politicians contribute to the problem. Calling or writing representatives, especially in the Senate, to express support of health care reform might help. I’ve done that and more. However, I’m not sure how your last sentence relates to the others, except to highlight your frustration and sense of urgency.

No I didn’t read the bill, nor have you. My comments were about the reasons Greg Walden gave for voting against it… they are patently false. If his real reasons had to do with something else in the bill, why didn’t he state them?

As to “raising taxes and taking food from your childrens’ mouths”….. how did you come to that conclusion? I’d be interested in reviewing the facts upon which you base it. If you know something I don’t know about the bill’s costs, I’d like to learn it.

Reply: I think it’s a tragic perversion of faith. In reality the Prayercast is a pathetic collection of political and religious fanatics who are operating out of fear and selfishness rather than out of any love or concern for their fellow man. Sadly, there is a significant pool of American citizens who take this stuff at face value.
