      Euthanasia is always possible, but its likelihood is nil.

      Wow was that just a deluge of misinformation... they have no shame.
      Here are some facts that Rachel Maddow reported earlier this week.


      The averge income of the top ten health provider CEO was $11.9 million.

      Insurance company profit increased from $4.7 to $12.4 Billion between 2000 and 2007

      The uninsured went from 19 million to 47 million between 2000 and 2007.

      Is it any wonder that the health care industry is spending millions of dollars to deceive the public and Fox plays a major part of that campaign.

        Not misinformation, O Gretzkyite; flat-out lies. Calling this kind of deliberate deception something as twaddling as misinformation only serves to dignify it and make it sound much more innocuous than it actually is...

          I agree. Hell, the right calls people liars even when they're telling the truth.

      FoxNews Channel and Republicans continue in spreading "fear" and "made-up lies" to "stop" HealthCare Reform - period.

      why aren't these guys scared about current health insurance company tactics of spending _millions_ goint to salaries and bonuses for claims adjusters whose sole purpose is to deny coverage to policy holders? Is that not a form of "euthanasia" as well?
      So it is bad for government to manage health care, but it is fine
      if high paid con artists do the same thing?

      Personally I am getting a little dissapointed with Obama and this administration. I understand that he needs to allays fears, but the we have the majority in both houses and we should just push the legislation through. We did it with the stimulus, bailouts, and Cash for Clunkers. Why reign up now and worry about what those backwards thinking knuckledraggers on the right think.

      We want the healthcare now. When congress is back in session, shove it down the conservatives throats. Just like Bush pushed the war down our thoats, we should push this down America's throat. Democracy already happened, the Senate, House and President were chosen. Now it up to them to make the laws and get them passed.

      Thats sad. You guys run your own poll and cant even get above 50% of people to say that they dont want healthcare. Means half your viewers arent even buying your $h!t.

      BTW this is an awesome headline. Thumbs up to whoever wrote the headline
