Barber says he's studied the mine for six years and that Rosemont and its engineers have not solved the issue of how to get enough water to the mine from "an already depleted aquifer under Green Valley and Sahuarita." Says depriving those areas of water, and thus future development, will result in more lost jobs than Rosemont creates.

You mean people with pre-existing conditions will actually have to pay more for their very own conditions? How awful (sarcasm). Someone else should pay for it, yeah, right. And Barber, 26 year olds are not children and too bad if you actually used your own money to pay for your own family.

Name one thing you would keep and one you would throw out from the health-care reform law. Barber: "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Says the bill, "written by the pharmaceutical industry," has many problems. Says we need to find a way somehow to get premiums to level off. "We must keep the part that allows seniors preventative care without co-pays." Must keep removal of the cap on lifetime expenses. Keep the part that allows child to stay on parents' insurance policy until age 26.

We don't all need Medicaid, we all need to be insured at the same level and with the same benefits as those who make the laws. Whatever it costs, we all need the same level of coverage--and the insurance companies can just keep up. If they want to stay in business, they can serve us, instead of us serving them.

Kelly on the health-care reform law: "The entire thing should go away and be reversed," and fortunately it looks like the Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional. "The federal government doesn't the right to tell you you have to buy something." Also says Barber was caught on tape saying two years ago that he supported the reform bill, but now says he hasn't read it. "I did read it," Kelly says.

There is no choice in the healthcare market today because the premiums are too high. "Free choice" under the free market system is another Faux News soundbite. The biggest problem with Obamacare is that it is still based upon private insurance plans. This was a Republican idea!

Barber says kelly offers no ideas on health care. Chippy. #AZ08by Josh Brodesky via twitter 5/24/2012 2:55:24 AM

Barber retorts that Kelly is "again trying to mislead" the voters with reference to a meeting Barber had "before" the ultimate health-care reform bill was introduced. Kelly quotes Harry Truman as saying if you tell the truth, you don't need a memory. Barber says Kelly has not said how he would fix the law and the health -care system.
