Rep. Olsen is voiceless 2009! Lampson Democrats party overrided President. G. Bush veto power by drainaging the Republican party power in 2007 and 2008.

Bad eaters, will pay a bad high price for health cost, as they coninue to buy an eat unhealthy products? Good healthy eaters will pay a good small price for health cost?
Junk food or unhealthy food eater will have to pay a high price to eat bad junk food snack, to help raise health funds for future health care cost needs, for more care. Healthy eater will have less to worry about, when eating health food to stay in health shape.

No bull mega. I’ve provided the link. You can go back several cycles and pull Lampsons too. You will find many of the same corporate givers too. No one but you questions the money and access scenario.

That’s fine. And in the process ask them did they separate the ones who are not for the present proposed Healthcare Reform Bill because they think it is not strong enough from those who are not for the present proposed Healthcare Reform Bill because they think the Bill is
Socialism/Obamacare?

FS that was from Rassmussen Reporets I’ll pass it along that you said they were wrong.
I don’t post links because it takes too long.
Why not “educate” yourself you are in edu. right?

Wrong TxNamVet:
There is actually no accurate accounting as of yet on who is “really” for or against this Healthcare Reform Bill at this point due to the fact that the reporting is skewed because those who oppose the Healthcare Reform Bill for the reason that it is “not” strong enough to their liking to include the public option and/or there are those whose fall out is about “not” wanting to rewrite laws on abortion within the Healthcare Reform Bill; and therefore the polling is not accurate because those who oppose the bill because they feel it lacks strength on more liberal views are not being separated out from those who oppose the Healthcare Reform Bill because they are blind by hate to , even, appreciate the benefits due to being filled with vicious hate in acting-out their anti-Obama and anti-Democratic Party roles. The Republican Party deep down knows this is a historic step in the right direction. which will eventually evolve as Great Healthcare Reform just like Medicaid and Medicare that is why they are opposing it so vehemently and being vile, hypocritical obstructionists—they see this Bill as a win for the Democrats, and, of course, a win for Obama.

“At the start of the week, 41% of voters nationwide were in favor of the health care bill, but 55% were opposed. This is the fifth straight week with support for the legislation between 38% and 41%.
But the average dems still thinks they know what best for you.

We, the USA, are the only ones among those countries who call themselves or consider themselves a first rate nation whose citizenry does “not” have universal healthcare or some form of universal healthcare!
So why do you think the United States of American’s citizens have no right to healthcare reform? Do you feel the USA Citizens deserve less than our USA Congressmen? If so, why?
We already foot the bill for our Congressmen to have great healthcare, even Olsen, so why are they deserving and we, the citizens are not? Or did you not understand that all the Congressmen who vote against the Healthcare Reform Bill for the USA Citizenry are actually voting to say, you, little ole nobody of a USA Citizenry cannot have the same Healthcare opportunity to have what I, the Congressman has.

Insurance Corporations with death panels that act with impunity and worse! I’ll support anything that stops some of the insurance industry’s tyranny. Healthcare reform now.
28. December 2009 at 1:19 pm
I won’t defend Olson, he’s part of the oligarchy that runs this country, as was Lampson and the vast majority of all those in power, both in govt and in business.
But Americans have no right to healthcare. If we pass anything even close to universal healthcare, and it delivers true universal healthcare, it will cost hundreds of billions per year. The answer is, we will end up with rationing, that’s the way costs will be controlled.
And then the government will have even more power over us. Great. Wonderful. Exactly what we needed.

Yet another conspiracy?
28. December 2009 at 12:30 pm
Bull.

Who cares whether it’s Olson or Lampson. They both took their financial backing from the same bunch and the door is open to them not you or I. You can get the reports and see which companies have access here at fec.gov/finance/disclosure/disclosure_data_search.shtml

Exactly right. The sour grapes from the previous posters is obvious. Lampson lost, get over it.
27. December 2009 at 3:57 pm
Rep Olson a man of character, thats what Ft Bend voters elected.
26. December 2009 at 7:59 pm
Rep. Olsons toll fee to speak at the FB Chambers is unconstitutional, effecting voters right to hear their US congressman voice of representation an leadership or misleadership.

As I said, this bill is not perfect; but it is historic nonetheless because we had nothing before; even though, the attempt to reform healthcare has been a battle for decades. So we, now, at least have something to work on to make the further improvements desired–like the public option, or even a trigger to hold the insurance companies accountable if they do not play fair, and of course there is the concept of allowing individuals at age 55 to buy into Medicare.
To not have coverage denied based on a preexisting condition or dropped when you get sick is an advantage we never had previously. Therefore, even, if there is an increase in insurance stocks, we cannot be certain of what it “really” means due to the fact that we already know that the stock market can be manipulated. So who “really” knows what it means? It could be another Jedi-eye mind game. But even if it is not, I still give the Democrats a thumbs up for an historic break-through regarding healthcare reform because they have done something not ever done before by giving us “something”, though, not perfect. With due diligence, the American citizens can articulate in verbal and written format to strive to perfect whatever the shortcomings of the present Healthcare Bill.
But at least we have it to work on in striving to perfect the imperfect!
25. December 2009 at 8:37 pm
Also I hate that Olson has no backbone at all. Not even a jelly one.
25. December 2009 at 8:35 pm
I hate that the insurance industry wrote this bill. I also hate that their stocks have increased dramatically.
It is a bad bill, but I will support it because it is better than what we have now. The public must demand that it be changed in our favor ASAP.
Single Payer or Medicare for all is the best bill possible!
25. December 2009 at 5:47 pm
It does not bode well with common sense logic if those entrusted to vote on behalf of the people, vote contrary to the best interest of the people. Goodness, gracious, if the vote is not cast on behalf of the best interest people—then, pray tell, for what purpose is the vote?
The Healthcare Plan although not a perfect plan, however, for the first time in history, there are some basic protections to regular folks who for years have been at the mercy of insurance companies. No more having coverage denied based on a preexisting condition or dropped when you get sick. Daggers and profound hate are being thrown at the Democrats who have the courage to lead on behalf of the people.
Now, I realize all the “Haters” who are anti Obama and anti Democratic Party have gone blind by their own hate, and thus, are blind to the fact that they are being lead down the primrose lane, being hood-winked, and Jed-eye mind gamed into believing that Healthcare Reform is bad and is a Socialist endeavor and/or government plot against the American people. Too bad, the anti Obama and anti Democratic Party Haters’ vision is obscured from seeing who their betrayer “really” is and, that it is, indeed, the fox and not the sheep that is up close and personal in their hen houses.
Peace, Good Will, Good Evening, Much Love to You,
Merry Christmas to All!
