The lightning rod named Nancy Pelosi.
​
The U.S. House of Representatives is on recess -- but that doesn't necessarily mean its members are having fun. They'll likely spend much of their time off pimping healthcare reform -- and to that end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- the woman with giant eyes that seem capable of boring holes through lead walls -- is making a Denver-area appearance alongside two fellow Democrats, locals Diana DeGette and Jared Polis, at the Stout Street Clinic, 2100 Broadway, at 2 p.m. Thursday. A press release promises that during the tour, Pelosi, DeGette and Polis, joined by Colorado Coalition for the Homeless CEO John Parvensky, "will see firsthand how the economic recovery funds are being used to offer vital health care services, create jobs, and lay the foundation for health insurance reform. The Speaker and Members of the Colorado Delegation will also discuss Congressional efforts to reform our nation's health insurance system."

Some recess. Will they at least get to play on the swings?

Paul Crews says:

I need to work alot harder to earn more so I may pay greater taxes. I must, because everyone inside this country's borders is entitled to healthcare and a government handed out income. Someone has to earn, to be able to pay into the system so it may be handed out by the government?????????????
Think about this!

Christine says:

Paul, you idiot. How much do you pay for healthcare already? I pay 80 bucks a paycheck! That's over 2 grand a year.

When you could pay in less than ten dollars a paycheck.

Stupid. This plan isn't asking you to pay more taxes, unless you make over a million dollars in a year. You're not a patriot, you're a pawn of corporate america.

AJ says:

Why should anyone else pay for my health care, no matter how much they make? Should I ask the rich to buy me a television and BMW too?

Suzy Whoozy says:

Christine you idiot! 80 bucks a paycheck is nothing, compared to what you will be losing and paying in taxes.

Stupid ignorant slut, how the hell you think it is going to be paid for? I suggest you read the entire health care reform bill, before you open your ignorant liberal pie hole!

Cassy says:

Christine,You come across like an ill informed, ignorant liberal! It is quiet obvious, you have no clue how any government run system works! It is apparent that you have no education in politics, economics or business for that matter! What! Do you thing everything is free? that the government is just going to take care of the people? The Government in general is crooked, but this Administration, is equip with czars and gangsters. A Gangster government! It is evident you have not read the health reform bill! This bill is dangerous! YOU WILL be taxed! (make over a million dollars in a year, where the hell you pull that figure from?? let me guess...)If you are past a certain age, and ill, you will have a choice of hospice care, or Doctor assisted suicide vs treatment! READ THE REFORM! How the hell you think this is gong to be paid for? Medicaid is broke, Medicare is broke, Social Security is Broke, and the government can't even effectively run a cash for clunkers program. How the hell you think they are going to run Nationalized Health care?? Christine you Ignorant liberal slut!!

This plan is not the answer but more of a problem, looking to the government for your healthcare is like looking at a pedafile for your day care provider

George says:

Until the Bill does NOT support Abortions and it requires all the members of Congress to use the same coverage as we will all be forced to then I'm against this Bill. I am also waiting to see how it will be deficit neutral with all of the junk they have pack into the present bill passed by the House. On a more personal note I don't trust ANYTHING that the Wicked witch of the West, Nancy Pelosi has to force down her own party members throats for them to vote for it! Here's hoping the entire Bill crashes and burns in massive flames!!!

Keep on Keepin' on Madame Speaker Pelosi!

Healthcare reform is absolutely necessary today. Becoming ill is not an matter of whether it'll happen or not for every American, it's time to get the hairy and greedy hands of the risk management industry out of rationing healthcare and deciding who can and who can't be worthy of seeing a doctor.

No one in America should go bankrupt over getting sick!
