      That assessment is not totally true. The GOP plan would continue to give the health care and insurance corporations "preventive services" as in preventing you from getting coverage.

      Right now, even as I speak (or type) the Health Care industry has hijacked our medical system. The members of both The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are now paid hacks of the Health Care lobby. By denying Preventative Care tests, insurance companies are saving money. But if a woman is diagnosed with incurable breast cancer or cervical cancer because she could not get a mammogram or a pap smear, the insurance company can say that the cancer is a preexisting condition and deny any and all treatments, thereby saving even more money. That is real Health Care rationing and Death Panels.

        Not correct. The USPSTF and ACOG recommendations are based on real science. We don't want to be like Republicans, and ignore the science that doesn't agree with our pre-determined conclusions.

      There is a republican plan? I thought there plan was to do absolutely nothing and say no to everything while spreading outrageous lies and screams of socialism until the public is dumb enough to re-elect a republican congress or pres. It has worked in the past - why change?
