Health Care Summit Sum Up So Far–UPDATED

February 25, 2010 / 11:32 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Obama: Whatever you can do, we’ve done better.

Pelosi: People are sad.

Reid: People are sad and Republicans suck.

Alexander: Here are the CBO facts.

Obama to Alexander: You lie.

Coburn, MD: We should cut costs.

Baucus: Mumble, mumble. Incoherent gibberish.

UPDATED:

Obama: I won.

UPDATED AGAIN:

It is my sense that the Democrats want to get across the message that “we mostly agree” so that when the Republicans and Blue Dogs howl at this nonsense, they’ll argue bad faith.

I don’t think that message is working. The Republicans are talking facts, not emotions.

    I think you have read the situation perfectly, Doctor.

    BTW: I also agree with your conclusions so far.

    When are the Republicans going to state that “It’s obvious that we’re not going to accomplish anything today, thank you for inviting us share your stories unfortunatley we thought we were here to discuss facts.”

    Senator lunch at health care summit. I had to pay for my soup and sandwich today while I was paying for them at the same time through my taxes:

    Hot Lunch: Chicken with vegetables and spinach or Grilled SalmonRice and Seasonal Vegetables
    Cold Lunch: Salads, smoked turkey or grilled tenderloin.

    I think the current health care plans are really not working. We need a change and in my humble opinion Obama can't deliver nor Hillary or any other politician for that matter. I'm sick and tired seeing all these sick people suffering or addicts because life is a burden sometimes…

    Narconon helps people in need and I'm sure they can confirm that the number of people with addictions are increasing on a yearly basis.
