Mr. President,
I understand you and your friends are looking for me and my friends? Is that correct? From what I've gathered, you're looking to have our neighbors send you an e-mail reporting us?
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
Well... we'd like to save everyone a little time by turning ourselves in. Me and my
friends are right here.

Want to turn yourself in too? Are you sick and tired of the Obama administration encroaching on your civil liberties? Let'em know. Post a comment below with as much or as little information as you'd like and be part of our "We're over HERE!" e-mail to the White House.

The government is trying to censor citizens' everyday communications that question the administrations prerogatives? It sounds like they NEED to be questioned if this soon into a new regime we've resorted to spying on friends and family. I thought America was the land of the free? I don't remember reading about THIS in the Declaration of Independence.

I think the most disinformation is coming from the Democrat Congress and Senate and the President. The constitution does not grant the power to the Federal Government to manage health care. We need to get the Federal Government out of Medicare & Medicade and turn it to the states where it belongs according to the 10th amendment. Let people have health savings accounts and pay for their own health care and get the third party payer system out of the picture and allow market forces to work.

I am tired of everyone saying that it's organized at the Town hall meetings! No Mr. President WE DO NOT WANT WHAT YOU ARE OFFERING! You are wrong, you are just trying to get all your promises done, weather they are right or wrong.
Why don't you start by helping me get the job I am trying for at Fannie Mae in Dallas TX. (NUC Reviewer) I have been unemployed since 3/15/07. Start by helping me first please.

One question for President Obama. Have you, yourself, read this 1100 page behemoth that you are pushing so hard? It certainly does not seem so when I listen to you.

Obama has fucked us all. The ONLY reason that I did not join the armed forces this year (I just graduated) is the fact that Obama is in office. I would love to serve this country, but not while he is in. Oh, and I would also like to congratulate him on spending nearly a trillion dollars already and not accomplishing a thing. That takes some real skill.

The bulk of the "fishy info" about overhauling our system of health care is coming from your office, and from the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
We have the best health care in the world! Over 90% of our citizens who want health insurance, have health insurance, and 80% of these insured are satisfied with their insurance. What's to overhaul? Maybe some fine tuning as several Conservative Congressmen have proposed -- listen to them.

The healthcare industry needs to be reformed, I think many people can agree with this. But nationalizing it is not the answer. Why don't we cap malpractice lawsuits? That would drop premiums a HUGE amount considering the majority of your premium pays for your doctors' insurance. Reform the industry, but stealing my money to feed the beast as it is, that's a damn shame.

I have a copy of the Constitution and am having difficult finding any reference to healthcare in it. And as such I believe the 9th and 10th Amendments should prevail. Oh yeah, even if it were in there when you show me that you can run quality healthcare within a budget let me know. You aren't doing so good in the 4 programs currently federally run: medicare, medicaide, veterans, and BIA (why is the native american life expectancy so low when you are doing such a good job.

I already give money to other people who can't afford simple health care that I take for granted. Last year I bought eyeglasses for two people after getting them the first eye exams they'd had for years. They used to go into WalMart and try on six or seven pairs of reading glasses, hoping to stumble across something that would help them. Whether or not health care is reformed, I'll continue helping people in need; as a Christian, I feel I should value them more than I value my money.

Consider me Fishy I am 110% against the Health Care Bill. I do not want nor need the Government in charge of my life or Heath Care. Even employers in Restaurants offer Health Insurance many chose not to have it. Many qualify for Medicaid but don't sign up. President Obama and Congress are getting ready to make a mess of an already messy business.

I am an American. All That I have ( which isn't much ), monitarily speaking, I have been given by a gracious God. I do not want the government soming into my life and messing with my $ 1,781 pension. . Let myself, my family, my neighbors, my friends and my fellow Americans alone. I do however want to leave you with a quote from F.D.R. , " Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Mr. President,
I'm a young, healthy, working, tax-paying, productive member of this wonderful country. I pay roughly 10% of my income for health care that I almost never use because it's the wise thing to do. Under your plan; how much of my income will go to paying for health care for those who, like me, really do not need it?

Dear Whitehouse apparatchiks;
Obama's healthcare plan will lead to degradation of our medical system, rationing of medical care based on the value bureaucrat places on the individual's life, limiting of access to experimental treatments that haven't been "proven". Claiming that our system will be as good as Europe's isn't a plus. I've had it take 5 months to get a prescription refill. Obama is lying when he claims we will be able to keep our insurance & continue to see any doctor we choos

Mr. "Barry" Obama,
Your healthcare plan stinks to high heaven. I didn't vote for you because I knew you were a phony from the beginning. Now you're proving it publicly to EVERYONE! I know this healthcare thing has always been your "wet dream" from the beginning...but it will turn into an absolute "nightmare" for the rest of us, if you have your way.

Dear Mr. President and Congress:
I really don't want the government running health care. There is incentive to reduce costs or maintain care - look at the damn VA hospitals - if thats what our veterans get - God help the rest of us. Also, Why no tort reform - Thats just pure B. S.

Dear Mr. President,
What is next, rounding us up and banishing us to Siberia? This is not the type of change the country wanted. You answer to the people, the people spoke in 2008 and they will speak in 2010 and again in 2012. Enjoy your stay in the White House soon the people will elect someone who is worthy of this Office and of this GREAT COUNTRY.
