Comment: a 69 year old retiree living on Social Security and Medicare, veteran and lifelong Republican, Senator Snowe disappointed me when she voted for the Stimulus Package, Sotomayor and now the Obama Health Care Reform. She has never met a democrat that she does not like, and leaning more to the left than the moderate Republican she claims to be. I will never support her nor vote for her ever again. from Boothbay Harbor ME by James

Comment: I really believe that a public option is the only answer to the health care problem-- the ins. co. will up their premiums until no one can afford ins.
