Don't want to hear from 'just say no'

I truly don't know what is going on in people's minds when it comes to health care costs ... they must see the numbers, like $2.5 trillion spent in 2009, and their minds just cannot comprehend the magnitude of the amount.

That is the only thing I can figure out that is happening to those people who want to keep arguing about this issue. It has been decades. We need to get some kind of health care reform law started at least - and then we can fine-tune it for decades to come.

However, if we don't do something soon, what will happen is something that millions of Americans claim they don't want - and that will be a complete takeover of our medical care by the federal government. And if that happens, I don't want to hear anything from all the "just say no" Republicans who could have played a significant role in health care reform, instead of just whining like a bunch of babies.
