The town hall protests against health care reform are appropriate. Politicians have been lying and stealing from us for years, so what is the problem with people calling them out on their lies? I think it is great. If there was more of this, then maybe we would actually have politicans that were not self-serving, lying, corrupt criminals.

Health care reform legislation will not be passed in 2009. I don't think so, the backlash by the people against Democrats in vulnerable districts for reelection will keep the Democrats fighting. They will not be able to pass a bill.

Healthcare reform should not include a government-sponsored health insurance option. It is just a ruse to get Universal Government run healthcare. Insurance companies cannot compete with a Government that does not care how much it loses, after all it is only taxpayer money. Obama is a serial liar who think the people of America are dumb enough to be believe his lies as he attempts to turn this country in to a Socialist state.

Masturbation is healthy.

Children with ADHD should be treated with medications.

There are potential benefits to drinking red wine.

Positive thinking can improve your health.

States should mandate driver testing after a designated age.

The benefits of skin tanning (via UV light) do not outweigh the risks.

Restless Leg Syndrome is a legitimate medical condition.

Pets do improve their owners' health.

Smoking should be prohibited in all indoor public places.

The government should impose smoking bans.

There should be limits on the amount of damages awarded in medical malpractice suits. Juries giving away unlimited amounts of money that is not their own is not a good system.

I would not consider non-pharmaceutical treatments if diagnosed with pneumonia. No way, give me the drugs!

Drinking in moderation is not a viable treatment for alcoholism. I have never heard of this, the whole problem with alcoholism is that these people cannot drink in modernation.

A universal healthcare system would require a tax increase. Of course it will, unless Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunnys steps up and pays.

Habitual consumption of marijuana is worse on one's personal health than habitual consumption of alcohol. I would think the smoke, which is much heavier than cigarette smoke, is worse for the lungs than alcohol is for the liver.

Media coverage of the swine flu outbreak has been overblown. What do you expect when you have moron like Joe Biden talking about something he has no clue about.

Cuba's healthcare system is not effective. That whole country has been run into the ground by the Castro brothers.

Health insurance pricing should favor those who meet physical standards.

A person should have a basic right to death.

Life begins at conception.

Children diagnosed with depression should be treated with medication. Depression is a chemical imbalance so why not treat it? Is it better to have a miserable child because you cannot "will" Depression away.

The U.S. should not implement a single-payer health care system. Nationalized healthcare does not work.

The government should not regulate the cost of healthcare. Anything the Government touches they make worse.

The government should not negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. I dont get how people actually assume that a bunch of corrupt, liars in the Government will do a good job of negotiation. What you will see is a sudden jump in donations by the drug companies to these crooks' campaigns and the deals will be worse.

The U.S. government should not provide universal healthcare. Everything the Government touches, they mess up.

People do not have a right to affordable healthcare. A laudable goal but I cannot find the section of the Constitution that makes it a right.

Drinking in moderation is not a viable treatment for alcoholism. I have never heard of this, the whole problem with alcoholism is that these people cannot drink in modernation.

Health care reform legislation will not be passed in 2009. I don't think so, the backlash by the people against Democrats in vulnerable districts for reelection will keep the Democrats fighting. They will not be able to pass a bill.
