Comments on: Stupak to Vote “Yes” on Healthcare? http://www.dennyburk.com/stupak-to-vote-%e2%80%9cyes%e2%80%9d-on-healthcare/ A commentary on theology, politics, and culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 06:07:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Holmberg http://www.dennyburk.com/stupak-to-vote-%e2%80%9cyes%e2%80%9d-on-healthcare/#comment-55986 John Holmberg Mon, 22 Mar 2010 06:35:04 +0000 http://www.dennyburk.com/stupak-to-vote-%e2%80%9cyes%e2%80%9d-on-healthcare/#comment-55986 Darius, The history of the United States is replete with evil men, evil actions, and evil laws. By your use of the term "now," are you honestly suggesting that this was never the case before, but all of the sudden is now because a healthcare reform bill got passed today? Are you seriously suggesting this? Washington has been run by people with special interests since its inception. It was once run by tobacco companies, and thankfully that is no longer the case. It has been run by drug and insurance companies for years with their lobbying and billions of dollars. Hopefully with the passing of this bill, that influence won't be as strong. Now they need to focus on the major food companies and regulating what we eat, because there are too many with special interests and being the recipients of "gifts" in that department too. Basically, whoever has the money runs Washington. This bill, for everything that is wrong with it, I believe is a step in the right direction. In all honesty, it really is more pro-life than what healthcare has been in America for the last several decades. We can debate the semantics and abortion or whatever, but in the end I believe this will be for the good. We've just got a long, long, long way to go to get there. Healthcare was broken almost beyond repair. Anything would be better than what it currently is. I believe there is a good possibility that we will actually see abortions decrease as a result of it. Darius,

And your readers might be interested in this letter that was sent to him, which clearly outlines why an EO is insufficient: http://bit.ly/akNm6E Keep up the great work. matt Denny, just FYI, he said this morning that he’s leaning yes, but they haven’t reached a deal yet.

There's always some evil agenda by those democrats. Your rhetoric about this stuff never ceases to amaze me We have to always have something to fear about don’t we?
