Rep. Paul Ryan (R, Wisconsin) offers his opening comments in the Reconciliation Markup House Budget Committee on March 15, 2010.  He exposes the mockery that the Democrats are making of our legislative process in order to ram a government takeover of health care through Congress.

TAKE ACTION: A vote on this health care bill is expected to occur on Sunday.  Call your Representative NOW and tell them to vote “NO” on this sham of a bill.

    VOTE NO as many times as you can.

  2. Lee Brewer says:

    Since the president must take an oath to uphold the Constitution – and Mr. Obama is pushing to circumvent Constitutionally mandated procedures – does this not give an inroad to accuse him of being breaking his oath?

  3. Susan Abrams says:

    Do Not Vote yes for this health bill, If you do ever one of the 35 ownwer opperateor I know in the trucking bueiness will end up out of business. I will be out of a job and so will all of the others I work with. Small business in this contry can not afford to pay out on this one, for the most part we pay cash for medical services and it works well. Most of the students I know pay cash as well. It is not that bad to pay as you go, my last visit was $52.00 if that makes it or breaks it for most them they should get insuance.

  4. Bev Ryan says:

    Please stop trying to care of everyone and everything with this phony and inept Health Care Plan, Start listening to Americans and Remember NO means NO, not maybe or yes but NO. Fix what we currently have and stop the fraud and actually verify who is getting what, when and where and I bet you will find more money that has been stolen and wasted that now can be used for the American People. By all means DO NOT allow amenesty to all ILLEGAL Aliens or you will tax the health care system even more and no one can afford to pay for this. Keep the IRS out of my Health Care Business.

  5. Marie Black says:

    This bill isn’t sitting well with too many people. A bill of this magnitute should not be rushed into as Obama and Pelosi are trying to do no matter whatever means they use to accomplish their goal. This health care bill needs to be scrapped and start over. The fact that abortion is included in this bill makes me ill. The country can’t afford this bill. It hurts the regular hard working middle class Americans and businesses. We will never be able to recover from the trillions we owe now let alone taking on this monster debt. And, I saw the figures Pelosi was saying how far ahead the country would be by taking on the bill and, personally, I don’t trust wherever she got those numbers from because she is dead wrong. SCRAP THE BILL!!

  6. THIS IS THE MOST DISHONORABLE AND DISGUSTING PRESIDENT AND DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION IN MY LIFETIME. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN CROOKS AND THIEFS. BELLIE CRAWLERS & WESSELS. “THE PEOPLE BETTER WAKE-UP!” (WITH THEM IT IS ALL ABOUT CONTROL AND GREED.) THEY WILL ACT LIKE THEY ARE FOR THE PEOPLE BUT WILL STICK A SHIVE IN THEIR BACK THE FIRST CHANCE THEY GET. THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO MURDER AND DISTRUCTION OF OUR CITIES…A REVOLUTION!!! [AN ANIMAL BACKED INTO A CORNNER WILL FIGHT.]

  7. Bernard Drier says:

    Please do what the people want. Vote NO NO NO

  8. Kevin Decker says:

    What good is the Constitution if the president thinks he can do whatever he feels like. And another thing if you people in congress keeps allowing the shipping jobs out of this country how in the hell is this country ever going to turn around.If these big companies want to go out of the US Tax the shit out of them when they bring there product back into the US, and then they might keep our jobs in our country instead of them GETTING RICHER AND RICHER THEY ARE JUST GREEDY .PEOPLE NEED JOBS TO BUY EVERY DAY ESSENTIAL. THERE IS ENOUGH FREE LOADERS IN THIS COUNTRY ALREADY WHY SHOULD THE MIDDLE CLASS WORKER PAY FOR IT. OBOMA”S HEALTH CARE PLAN IS NOT THE ANSWER. SAY NO!!!!!! IF WE HAD MORE JOBS IN THE US YOU COULD TELL THESE FREE LOADER TO GET OFF WELLFAIR AND GET A JOB BECAUSE THERE IS TO MUCH ABUSE OF THIS SYSTEM OF PEOPLE VERY ABLE TO WORK.DO YOU THINK THIS JUST MIGHT WORK DU??????????????????????????????????????? i COULD GO ON FO EVER.

  9. Polly Harper says:

    Ryan has it right … Obama, Pelosi, Reid have it wrong … We have allowed the enemy in the camp … it is time to run the enemy down and take back our country. This current activity is totally un-American. Please reform healthcare in a way that opens up free enterprise and lowers rates without raises federal costs … FAIR TAX will help immediately while we are spending time with reform of healthcare.

    OBAMA NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE WHITEHOUSE IN HIS PAJAMAS AND DELIVERED TO HAVANA OR CHAVEZ. HE IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY. HE RECENTLY FUNDED THE ARRIVAL INTO THIS COUNTRY OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS. WITH THE UNEMPLOYMENT HERE–JUST WHAT WE NEED ON BORROWED MONEY. THE PALESTINIANS ARE WELL EQUIPPED FOR LIFE HERE—OCCUPATION–BOMB MAKERS, STONE THROWERS, RECITERS OF THE KORAN, THEFT, AND BABY MAKING. IF HE IS PERMITTED TO RAM THIS HEALTH CARE TAKEOVER THROUGH AND TAKE OVER STUDENT LOANS TO FORCE ON THE AMERICANS THE WORST LEGISLATION EVER IN THE HISTORY OF OUR REPUBLIC. WE WILL AWAKEN TO A MARXIST COUNTRY FIRMLY IN THE HANDS OF A TOTALITARIAN DICTATOR AND HIS ROYAL ENTOURAGE–THE CONGRESSIONAL DEMS, PROGRESSIVES, SOCIALISTS AND MARXISTS. DID HE GIVE DENNIS THE SOCIALIST IN ADDITION TO THE PLANE RIDE A JOB FOR HIS WIFE IN THE WHITEHOUSE WORKING WITH MICHELLE ON THE OBESITY ISSUE.? WE ALL KNOW MICHELLE HAS A LARGER MORE EXPENSIVE STAFF THAN ANY PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION. WE KNOW THAT AS WE ARE ASKED TO CONSERVE PRECIOUS ENERGY AND TURN DOWN THERMOSTATS THAT THE WHITEHOUSE IS KEPT SUPER HOT LIKE A SAUNA. WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT GORGES ON 150 DOLLAR A POUND BEEF. HE IS LIVING MUCH AS THE COURT OF LOUIS THE 14TH DID BEFORE THE ROYALTY LOST THEIR HEADS. IF HE IS AIDED AND ABETTED BY CONGRESS IN HIS DESTRUCTION OF THE CONSTITUTION–IT WILL BE RELEGATED TO THE SCRAP HEAP OF HISTORY. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. THIS H.C. BILL WILL USE IRS AS COLLECTORS AND ENFORCERS. THE BILL WILL PERMIT THE GOV. TO CONFISCATE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. NEVER IN OUR HISTORY HAS SUCH A THEFT OF CITIZEN PROPERTY BEEN PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. FIGHT, VOTE, FIGHT VOTE.

  11. Tom says:

    My fellow citizens, you that are for this pile of garbage that this administration and the Democrats are calling health care reform is nothing bit a way for the Government to get greater control over the lives of every citizen of this nation. For those of you that are being blinded by the few aspects of this bill that are things that should be included in what the Government should mandate on the practices of the insurance industry but you won’t open your eyes to the hundreds of other things in their bill that will be forced upon each and everyone of us citizens. I implore you to ask yourselves why is it that it has taken this long to even come to a vote on this bill if it’s so good for this nation and another thing ask yourselves why are these politians and their families exempt from this very bill? Why should they not be apart of it just like you and I if it’s so good for all of the rest of us? They talk that somehow this bill is going to pay for it’s self is the biggest joke being put on the public and anyone of you that are so gulibule to believe that it could even be possible need proffesional help!!!. You folks that think that this is good for our nation had better rethink your position by Sunday and contact you Representative and tell them to vote NO on this absolutely horrible bill.

  12. j proulx says:

    Please vote NO to this health bill.

  13. John O'Neal says:

    I am retired and my former employer has informed me that my medical care will be harmed if the Obama plan is passed. I recently flew back to Minnesota to have cervical spine surgery and my doctor said their cliinic would no longer accept Medicare if the Obama plan is passed. We winter in AZ. and a branch of the Mayo clinic in Phoenix already does not accept Medicare. This Obama plan is going to severly damage the seniors ability to get health care. I beg the representatives in the House to vote NO.

  14. ksicard says:

    We live in a democracy not a dictatorship.I am upset enough about this bill but to have them forcing it through and sidetacking the constitution against the will of the people who have spoken up is APPALLING.Our representatives are not representing us and are going to tax us .I fear for our country if this goes through as the majority are against this and it doesnt seem to matter and people have been actively voicing the outrage to a deaf government bent on their own agenda,it isnt like people who closed their eyes or kept silent and didn’t speak up and it crept in.This is blatant in front of our faces

  15. Gary says:

    I have written, I have emailed and I have called. I have written letters to the editor. The sad fact is these people could care less. The Representatives that are up for re-election this fall have been promised money, or influence of some kind or fat cat lobbying jobs to make up for losing their jobs this fall– and most of them will. The fact is, as I see it anyway, this health care reform is just the banner they chose for this ruse. It polled well and it should have. The real deal is power at ANY cost and retain power at any cost. And ANY means ANY. This is a fundamental change in our society they are executing. This is government by the government and for the government — the people be damned. We ‘commoners’ have no idea what’s good for us. Only the ‘enlightened’ know the way to a perfect world.

    I hope I am totally wrong but if you that are under the impression the public is going to set this right this fall then I don’t think you having been watching, listening, or writing to your representatives very long. They aren’t listening, they aren’t going to, and I am suspecting they are not going to give up the power they they now ‘own’. Think crisis. Either this fall or sometime in 2012 we are going to have a crisis — a made up crisis– but a crisis none the less. Do you think a man that would bend and distort the constitution like President Obama has any intention of leaving office?

  16. Tim Wallace says:

    OMG THIS DUDE IS A CRIMNAL!

  17. glenda starkweahter says:

    Please vote NO to Health Care bill

  18. patricia says:

    yes yes i want it i want the health plan to pass please vote yes

  19. Gary Yahne says:

    Please kill this bill–I want to make my own deceisions. I am sick of the goverment running my life I want control of my life. We have to get him out of office before he takes us all down. I cannot tell you how much I dislike this man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Fred Switzer says:

    When will congress and Nancy Polosi think of the best interest of all Americans
    Vote NO

  21. Philip Desautel says:

    It has occured to me that this bill will hurt our economy more than the Cap-in-Trade one by forcing many employers to out shore their jobs

  22. larry broyles sr says:

    Honorable Senator ALEXANDER, Senator Corker and Representative Blackburn:

    I guess this weekend will long be remembered either way whether this Obamacare Health Bill passes or fails!! I urge you to continue the fight to oppose this bill. Should this Bill pass and the USA goes under by being broke the current politicians that has voted for this bill will be defeated at the first opportunity at the next election!!! The majority of the USA citizens are against this castrophy of a so called healthcare program!! It will ruin medicare ,cut benefits, doctors will quite practicing health care, the cost will double and we want even be able to use it for four (4) more years !! What kind of fool is going to pay for something today and can`t use it for another four years!!! Please try to stop this bill and if health care needs reforming then lets have some Bi-partisianship and make it happen!! Stop this current Obama Health Care Bill dead in its tracks!!!! Respectfully,

  23. Linda L. Stillman says:

    If this disaster goes through, it will leave every single American in jeopardy! You think if you are out of a job you are broke, just wait and see how much worse it is going to get!
    Monday will be the day, that each of us as an American should let our whole government know they are through, done, finished, retired, fired. Find your state attorney and ask them to file suit on our President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, and our Majority Leader! Get your Constitution docs on line, and shout them from every corner of the USA.

  24. Bob Callahan says:

    Bravo! I couldn’t say it better. Ryan for President!

  25. Carl Malloy says:

    If the ideas couched in this bill were so wonderful… why in God’s name are so many tricks having to be played to get it through. Also… why is part of the bill about education… specifically the Govt wants to TAKE OVER all student loans… thus giving them effective control over both students (who must humbly plead to some bureaucrat for a loan) and universities who will of course have to meet whatever ridiculous educational “standards” of PC BS they deem appropriate. Say no to any more attempt to turn a great nation into a frigg’in nanny state where all whiners get taken care of and learn to DEPEND on momma state to wipe their noses.

    Yes… I *AM* pissed off, and I don’t take to well to pinheads trying to run every aspect of my life. I was doing just FINE by myself that you very much Madam Speaker!

  26. jesse says:

    VOTE NO
    quit destroying our children’s future by running them in debt

  27. John Bellomo says:

    If this bill passes shame the Democrats and this president for not listening to the people. If a single Democrat the votes for this remains in office if this bill passes shame on all of us for not making them listen to us. The Young, Poor and Uneducated put this man in power if this is not defeated we may never see him out of office. I pity this once Powerful and Respected Nation. We have become a Nation of Welfare.

  28. Gary Visher says:

    STOP THIS BILL!!!!!!!!!!! I am an American the last time I checked and would like to think I still have the rights of one as well.. This bill is a way of undermining the very core of our Constitution. The manner of which is being taken by our very own President is appalling to say the least. It makes me question what exactly is his benefit from this whole disaster.?.?
    It would be vastly different if it was addressing legislation to limit what could be done to the US by insurance companies.
    But Mr. Obama wants us as a whole to think he is trying to help, when he is actually is just trying to take over the entire health care field. That in and of it’s self makes my question the very core and motives. If it is passed, then what?, has anyone thought it through at all? Once it is owned by Uncle Sam, where will it all stop? Think about it if they can make you wear a seat-belt; then they can approve or deny the assistance of which you will need. What’s to say that if you are over weight?, are they then going to deny you food until you return to a healthy weight?!? Or are they going to refuse you because your just a “problem case” and are forced to turn to foreign country for help. The cost is going to come up somewhere down the line. Who’s going to have to pay that tab??? Hello, can you say the tax payers.
    How can the person that “We The People” voted into office, just run over us like a deer on the highway. Have we come to mean so little to the heads of our so called Government?? It like we’re in a prison, and the Warden has made his decision and what we think is irrelevant. The very document that was drawn up in 1776 is now used to wipe ones self after using the facilities??? I remember where I used to live and now it all looks the same, but I no longer have a say in what is in my life and I can’t even say NO. Is it that communism has moved to town and we are denied the right to evict him???? I would like to say: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I DO NOT WANT THIS BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. Debi Ferriter says:

    Please vote NO on this bill until it is dead gone distroyed and no longer a threat to all Americans. We don’t need any more hand outs we need folks off their butts and back to work. Keep handing them everything on a silver platter doesn’t encourage them to get going on thier own. The old rule of if you don’t work you don’t eat needs to be looked at again before congress keeps getting bigger and bigger and more powerful. Let Americans make their choices of what kind of health care they want. Don’t cram it down our throats. We are NOT to be a socialist country.

  30. renee Lowder says:

    Is any one listeningt to the people. I cannot afford health insurance but I certainly do not want the goverment ramming this health care plan down my throat. THIS IS A DISGRACE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE DEVIL MUST BE WORKING OVER TIME AND JUMPING FOR JOY. WAKE UP AMERICA. THIS PRESIDENT CERTAINLY DOES NOT HUMBLE HIMSELF BEFORE THE LORD IN PRAYER FOR HE BEARS NO FRUIT THAT PROVES DIFFERENT.Im AFRAID we are all in for a rude awaking. I ask everyone to pray that God would have his way and not man.

  31. Marine 7076 says:

    THE Party of SCAM and CRAM. Not something one would want to be known for or associated with, especially, in a Free Country. This bill and Administration is the most corrupt thing I have ever seen in my life. I, along with millions of others, will do whatever it takes to keep this Country from Dictatorship, Marxism, and the Tirrany, that seems to be running rampant in Washington, today. GOD HAVE MERCY ON THIS COUNTRY. Call your Representative and voice your OUTRAGE at this corrupt bill. Let them know, you are not going to stand for this any longer, and for all times to come. A sleeping Giant has awakened. The time of complacency is over. We will fight, literally, if necessary. I for one, am not afraid to Die for my FREE COUNTRY. Are you? I would hope this would never come to that, unfortunately, I see and hear a lot of outrage and anger against the, powers that be, for the moment. Our FREEDOM is not free, as demonstrated everyday by the Couragious and Brave, Men and Women of the Armed Forces. A vote for this bill is a vote for Corruption, Marxism, Communism, Dictatorship, Tirrany, more taxes, and more Government intrusion in our daily lives. Is this what we really want? The answer is an astounding NO, but the DEMS in power are not LISTENING. Vote the Bumbs out that do vote for this bill. I’m not the most politically correct person, but then again, I don’t pretend to be something I’m not. I’m just an old tired and crippled Marine, but I have more fight in my little pinky, than some people have in their entire body. I will not back down from this one, either. Adapt and Overcome. SEMPER FI.

  32. Michael Milner says:

    The math does not add up for this Health Care crap. Obama is trying to write his own Constitution over this. We have the second amendment to protect us, but we the people have another power & with it we don’t have to spill a drop of blood, & that power is the vote. We need to launch a campaign that encourages the overthrow of this corrupt Washington DC cancer & do not vote to reelect anybody in office. No congress men, no senators, no govenors, & kick the Oreo Obama out of office too. To bad really because it will be another two hundred years before a man with black linage gets into the Whitehouse again. Kick them to the curb & let them find jobs in this in the toilet economy they helped to create. They all forget they are elected to serve the people, not the people serving them! Speaker of the house would look better on the end of a line tied around a limb of a tree. Put her in pants first, so nobody will have the need to see a shrink from the PTSD that would result from seeing that nasty splayed open gash between her legs. Don’t forget that troll Hillery the dyke Clinton too, she needs to swing well.

  33. Donna says:

    Please vote this bill down! Can’t you see where this is all going. I for one am a baby boomer who will be on medicare soon and this is what I have to look forward too. Americans need to stand up and be counted and put a stop to this one-sided thinking liberals in our government!

  35. Ernie Pasborg says:

    Vote No on the Health Care Refrom Bill.
    I will not vote for any candidate that votes yes on the Health Care Reform Bill in any future election.

  36. Charity in Truth and Justice says:

    This is not about health care but about the government take-over and control of 1/6th of our economy and a take-over of student loans and whatever else is hidden in this monstrosity of 2700 pages. Yes, we will be paying for abortions which I find reprehensible. Our Nation needs to put on the sack cloth and ashes and repent and go back to the days when abortion was not legal before it is, too, late.

  37. STACY SMITH says:

    WHY ARE THE GOVERNMENT DESTROYING THERE OWN COUNTRY!NONE OF THEM SHOULD BE IN OFFICE!

  38. Erika says:

    Do support a NO vote on the Health Care bill. If they do vote for it, vote them out at the next election.

  39. Lorri says:

    I agree with Lee Brewer (above) – Our President IS NOT UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION. It’s truly unclear, just “who” this man REALLY is, and he’s definitely not worthy of the Presidential Office. Colin Peterson……Please stand firm against your party and the incredible pressure that is no doubt being put upon you…..Vote NO (if you even get a chance to vote). If the legislation is “deemed” through, all Congressmen/women are being robbed by their President. Their duty to their position and constituents is to vote on ALL bills. How pitiful, if they can’t fulfill their job!

  40. Ellie says:

    The goal is to bring our country down, and it’s all about power. He came in with that agenda. He doesn’t even like Americans. It’s quite evident in everything Obama does.

  41. John says:

    Please save your self don’t vote NO or you will be sorry. It’s Comunist

  42. John says:

    We’re the People and Mr. NoObama and Pollosi need to give it up. No for Health REFORM

  43. RAY says:

    SMOKE SCREENS! THE REAL PEOPLE IN CHARGE WOULD BE THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKERS WHO NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM CONTROL OF THE U.S DOLLAR THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW AND ARE BEHIND EVERYTHING. JUST TRY AND FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE IF YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM THE TV BRAINWASHING. WHEN THE ROTHCHILDS ARE WORTH 200-300 TRILLION AND NOBODY KNOWS IT. WHY????? YOU HAVE TO CHOP OFF THE DRAGON’S HEAD TO KILL THE BEAST.

  44. John R Hart says:

    The root of evil is unprincipled collectivization and the Deathocrats health care reform bill is a shining example of it. True reform would require open hearings to determine what is broken and how to fix it, not back room deals and legal shenanigans. Eugenicists, and population control advocates have taken control of the Democratic party and coerced or deceived it’s members into supporting the Government take over of the most private part of peoples lives. Once established nothing short of Civil War will stop Federal encroachment into the individuals domain. With Government in charge of health care, abortion will be the only reproductive right for those it’s Eugenicists administrators consider unfit.

  45. Debbie Blaskowski says:

    This goverment is out of control with all are lifes.Tellng us we need this if this is so good why don’t they take it then.We are paying now for it just to get the goverment out of debt and they are just laughing at us.Well come november we well see who is laughing.We can fight this and win because this is our country and not theres.
