Since you are so strongly opposed to a single-payer, government-run health care program, are you willing to give up your Medicare, which IS a single-payer, government-run,efficient program?

Listen to: U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-IA)
King: Well, if you say get rid of Medicare, you have to say get rid of Social Security and Medicaid. Those policies are established, they have created constituency bases, our entire society and culture has been rearranged because of them. The family dependency that we used to have where we took care of our parents and grandparents among our family and we liked to have big families then, so we had plenty of kids to pass us around when we got older. That's all disappeared.

Can you tell me why, when the Democrats control the Presidency and the Congress & with support of 70% + of democratic voters, the best "health care" plan we can get is a watered down public option that, as currently written, will serve maybe 10% of the uninsured/under-insured?

Listen to: U.S. Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ)
"I don't know. I don’t know. I said I was disappointing and I think given what the situation we are going through with the House it is a mistake for us to go in with a weaker plan in conference. You know I don't have a good explanation as to why. We were at almost 200 plus members that wanted. I wish more would have been done to try to bring those other ten fifteen over. But they held out and Blue Dogs held out and to some extent they had a great deal to say about what we ended up with and it is disappointing to say the least."
