How do we put a human face on the health care debacle?
   
Many of us personally know of tragic stories that have unfolded due to a lack of health care in this country. Yet, Reid and others in the Senate say they wish to wait to pass reform so they can hear the "concerns" of those who admittedly don't want a national health care system. Those who Reid wishes to "hear" from, have openly stated that they want to DELAY the debate until health care reform essentially dies. Reid is seemingly intent on helping Republicans succeed in their Waterloo plan.

What do do?

Washington has no incentive to move quickly on health care. The media is NOT doing it's job, finding people who the President wishes to represent with the legislation in question.

Anyone have any ideas as to how we organize and put people at the front of the debate?

Funny, I don't think the media's job is to find shills for the POTUS.  I thought their role in our constitutional republic was to keep those in power honest by, oh, I don't know, REPORTING THE NEWS.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I was going to suggest that the primitives could try posting pictures of their hands faces in a protest again.

Of course, it occurred to me that many of them only marginally qualify as human to begin with,  so that doesn't really help a great deal.

The media didn't do their job during the primaries. If they had, either Hillary or John McCain would be president. Instead the media foisted this shill of an American on us.

No, they did the job that they thought they should do, as opposed to the job that they should have done.

You and your fellow Marxists have been saying this debate was about the however many trillion Americans there are who aren't covered by health insurance.  Is it lack of healthcare or lack of health insurance?  Because it's certainly not both.

I was thinking of suggesting that myself. Post UGP's pic and people would pay just to get rid of the pic.

The problem for them is wavering Democrats, DUAC needs to show up at their offices and hold protests calling out "We want waiting lists! We want waiting lists!"

No Johnny, just walk down the sidewalk in your town and check out the kids that have rotting teeth, over weight due to a diet of Ramen Noodles 3 times a day. Also note the child is wearing $100.00 sneakers and an expensive jacket of brand name.  The kid may have an IPod and cell phone, they may be picked up by parents driving a new car with pimped out hubcaps.

The kid needs dental work and a good diet, what he gets is his own PC. watches movies on a wide screen TV, has 250 music videos in their room.

The parents have medical insurance but not dental.  If the teeth abscess and spread poison to other body parts, the parents can get help at the emergency room----Antibiotics but that is that, hospitals do not pull teeth.

Parents call around for a dentist that can help their child, $600. to pull two teeth and there are 3 more that need to go also.  One can pay by the month at 200% interst after all is =said and done.

What we are looking at is to me a problem with health care.  Any one who ever had an abscessed tooth or dry socket knows what I am talking about.

Now is this the governments job to rectify damage done to children by the parents life style.?

Seems to me that our Charity's send billions of dollars to some other country to feed and supply health care that kids here do not get.

RANY,RANT---- but is this not a problem for society to solve, our government is suppose to keep us safe from outside invaders, help out when a disaster occurs.

We should be held accountable for our own action and help out our fellow man when in need.  Priorities here, what is important, buying a kid $100.00 sneakers every 3 months or getting their teeth fixed.

Sorry guys, made a big mistake, watched the news today--it is making me even nuttier them I was to begin with.

BULL SHIT! Where do you live. Here the dental van goes to the schools once a month and gives free dental care to the illegal aliens and other students on foodstamps and the free lunch program. Hell, they even get a free breakfast. In the afternoon they call momma on their cell phone and she comes to pick them up in a nice newish SUV with shiny FOUR thousand dollar rims and tires.

My sons mother pays his dental insurance and I fork over the balance. We feed him breakfast at home and pay for his lunch. Momma drops him off at school on her way to work. He has no cell phone but I know to pick him up after school because it's to dangerous to ride the school bus.

Damn Obama, ACORN, ACLU and all the bleeding heart liberals that have screwed up the US of A.

I've had a bad day to......I just bought 2 new tires for my truck, over $500 worth. An Obama supporter came in and got a new set for her car payed for by my dam county government.
