That Republicans are forcing Democrats to go through all sorts of contortions to pass a health care reform bill for all Americans is a damn shame and downright un-American.

Last-minute thoughts for those just waking up: Republicans could care less if health care reform fails or if Americans get soaked to the tune of billions by insurance companies.

The end game of the GOP is that President Obama fails.

The Republican Party is siding with the insurance industry, with higher rates and premiums.

There is a lot of talk about the health care bill costing $900 billion. President (George W.) Bush and the Republicans gave tax breaks to the rich that amounted to $1.8 trillion.

The party of “no” wants to provide three million more Americans with health care coverage. President Obama’s health care bill covers an additional 30 million Americans. Which side are you on?
