Were you surprised by the studies last year, concluding that candidate Obama's health plan would insure only one-half of the uninsured? How about the Congressional Budget Office's finding that the $1 trillion Kennedy health plan will insure only one-third of the uninsured?

I enjoyed your conversation on Mark Levin today. I signed the petition! I’d love to see a counter to show how many people have signed it to date!

Good idea, Deb. Let me see what I can do. We are close to 240,000 right now.

How many signatures would be needed on the petition in order make a difference?
No, I’m not surprised either; not at all.

We are at 275,000 right now and that makes a difference, but we would like to hit one million.
