She wrote a plan that was rejected by congress, which she states in her speeches. She indicated that she wants to finish what she began in 1994. Where can I see what the plan was so I can better understand why congress was or was not correct in their decision?
What health care back ground does H. Clinton have? What healthcare programs did she fight for successfully in Arkansas while she was the first lady of the governer there?

I understand the increase was due to higher and higher medical costs. It costs more to provide the same coverage.

So keeping the costs flat will kick off poor kids, and the $80,000 family was just spin, since the states have to get permission from the Feds to increase eligibility, anyway.

It has done nothing more than to divide the country rather than putting the differences aside to work something out to where both groups would be satisfied. Besides this Lib Vs Con stuff as well as Red states Vs Blue states is so played out & lame already.

The Dems planned to fund SCHIP by raising taxes on cigarettes.

If the Dems saw this as a way of getting people off of cigarettes, why aren't they raising the cigarette tax anyway?

That list is going to come in very handy in '08?

You've cast your dice Republican rubber-stampers, and now you will experience the consequences.

Waterboarding was invented during the Spanish Inquision

Do you really need a morality lesson on yahoo answers as to why waterboarding is wrong?

Hold up a minute there neocons before you call me a muslim lover.

John McCain, (R) AZ has publicly disavowed waterboarding at the Republican debates. I'm pretty sure he's conservative enough.

... getting the 1/3 of poor kids who are already entitled to free healthcare signed up?

Don't Dems care about those kids? Dems refused to require that 95% of poor kids sign up before more money is given to the richer kids under SCHIP.

I think that our country has shifted to a more Liberal ideology than we have ever had before. I think that our Liberals from yesterday are now our extremists, our Democrats are now our Liberals, our Republicans are Democrats, and the Conservatives are considered to be a "true" Republican. What do you think? Please be respectful. Thank you!

Many states will not be able to continue the funding of the very successful SCHIP program. All of the children who were covered will now fall back through the cracks and be uninsured again. In my state our SCHIP program is called PeachCare. Our state is controlled by republicans. Our officials have stated that without the reauthorization of the SCHIP program that they will not be able to fund this program because they were counting entirely on funding from the federal government.

What will happen to these children?

Yesterday the House voted to override the President's shameful veto of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and fell short by 10 Republican obstructionist votes.

President Bush and the Rubber Stamp Republicans in Congress will be haunted by vetoing legislation for 10 million children. They will be haunted for as long as they are in office or as long as they continue to resist giving health insurance to millions of America's children.
This is an all-too-familiar pattern in Washington these days. Once again, Democrats are offering the American people hope and progress, while a stubborn President and his obstructionist Republican friends in Congress respond with roadblocks.
This is the third time when the only thing blocking meaningful change that Americans overwhelming support was George Bush's veto pen and obstructionist Republicans to back him up

We went from pretty unfettered left-wing rule (1940-1980) to right-wing rule (1980-date) and Americans often see each other as enemies, rather than focusing on our real enemies, and the serious economic problems that face our country today.
Is there a way to Unite Americans again, so we can tackle the big problems we face? Which politicians are talking of Unity today?
(We know now, Bush didn't mean it when he said he was a "uniter," and Carter in the 70's was pretty divisive too)

Here is my view:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
