Conservative group launches ‘Hands Off My Health Care’ tour
The conservative organization Americans for Prosperity is launching a 15-stop “Hands Off My Health Care” bus tour of Virginia, starting this week in Charlottesville.
The bus will appear at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Albemarle County Office Building. Former Gov. George F. Allen and Albemarle Supervisor Ken Boyd, both Republicans, are scheduled to speak.
“The rhetoric is not matching up with reality on health care,” said Ben Marchi, state director of Americans for Prosperity, in a news release. “The promise that ‘if you like what you have, you can keep it’ rings hollow when people see the reality of what Congress is proposing.”
Marchi added in an interview that the debate over health care reform is expected to heat up in Congress in the next couple of weeks, as Democrats seek to get legislation passed before the November election.
“A lot of their bargaining power is going to go away if the Dems lose one, maybe two, of their candidates for governor,” he said.

I make broad statements and if the shoe fits, wear it.
The conversation here has gone down hill with help from both sides of the argument. Keep it on topic or the article will be closed for commenting.
Gordie, you are rich, YOU are the guy calling people idiots and natzi’s, if you cant take it Gordie, get out of here.
“Independent, To clear it up for you, the people who are entitled to health care is everyone in America. The people who have health insurance are those who choose to buy it. There is no moral obligation for one person to pay for anothers (sic) health insurance.”
So, you say that everyone in America is entitled to health care. The only people who have adequate health care are people who have health insurance. You do not want to pay for health insurance for people who can’t afford it. So, you are not consistent. How can everyone get adequate health care without everyone being able to pay for health insurance?
Foehammer I will not go behind your back and report you for all your personal attacks.
Therefore I ask the administrator to keep an eye on you and always personally attacking me with insults.
Gordie said “Today there are so many who knock these programs as their family, friends and even their parents
wouold not be living today, if not for the programs DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS PUSHED TO GET INTO LAW” Huh? Gordie have you taken your smart pill yet today?
Anti, eating and drinking yourself to death….I cant think of a better way to go!! lol
Indepedent, cant think of a simpler way to say it. Go back and read my last response to you 10 times and maybe it will sink in.
Hey Anti, good to see your back and baffled, been missin’ ya’.
Gordie, sorry you think there might be a better place than here and now, but then I have found alot of liberals see the glass as half empty. Personally, I’m looking forward to enjoying another beautiful day in a great country.
