Please, go look at TSP.gov. If you research it, you'll see that there is already a system vastly superior to Social Security, a lame socialist program which should be done a way with.

Nancy Pelosi, Down and Dirty

Don't forget about the legislation Pelosi passed to give a fishing company her husband had thousands of shares in sole fishing rights. Talk about a liar, a scumbag, a psychotic, it promotes a new word in the english language - "pelosion".
But it is much worse. He wants the money of hard-working people to prop up those who won't work, to pay for everyone else's misguided lives, dreams, labor contracts, illegal cronyism, illegal immigration costs, etc. Once this becomes law, he'll then start the PC board to monitor thoughts and tell you what you can do, eat, think, look like, act like...oh, forgot, we're nearly there.
While having to agree with Larry in his final comparison, do the comments on either side see through the smoke? Larry calls them Democrats, I call them Progressives. The history of progressive politics not only include Teddy, Wilson, and FDR, but also include noted Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham. Make no mistake, the Progressive movement will destroy this country by demolishing the Constitution, decrying capitalism, and driving the debt to further levels and into collapse. We must get rid on the old line: Reid, Durban, Schumer, McCain, Graham, McConnell and the same in the House: Pelosi, Boehner ad infinitum. Seniority be damned ... they set up their own corrupt system to continue their same corrupt practices.
Continued- or at best $.60 on the dollar. Physicians and hospitals have to pay for the buildings, utilities, salaries, new equipment and maintenance, lab, radiology, and other services and can't do it based on paying 50% of 80% of actual costs. It behooves the feds to maintain the lies out of the President's, Sebelius, and Congress's mouths, they make the rules, insurers are for the most part just abiding by the rules as written by Congress and HHS, they are only culpable if allowed to lobby.
While we have a fundamental agreement that Obamanation care is Orwellian, I disagree with some of your basic concepts. My prescription goes something like this: 1. Suspend PACs and special interest groups from lobbying! That especially means lawyers and the AMA. 2. Only the states can revise tort, the Congress are lawyers and will never do it. 3. Force open competition for health insurance across state lines. 4. Repeal Obamacare. 5. Undo the CMS payment schedule, it's a floor which increases costs to Medicare and Medicaid, and pay doctors based on real healthcare, not healthcare driven by tort insurance, federal rules, requirement to attempt to collect for those not paying, healthcare insurers (including CMS) paying nothing on a claim

Absolutely absurd crossovers of ideas. Keynesian economic theory says regulate and spend more, which exacerbated an already bad situation. Deregulation, reduces the cost of a good, which while it may help the rich, also helps the non-rich. No matter, any system that provides from 4 to 8 times more than contributed is unsustainable, and that includes teachers retirement plans in which they contributed 2% of their defined benefit, to federal and state employees, to social security. What will you do when your house is worthless, you are unemployed, and the federal and state governments are bankrupt? Better have a weapon.

Excellent point. What they are doing is just as much illegal as the ultrasound, and the tobacco industry is sueing.
