The health care reform debate is growing louder all across the country. 

For example, Republican Senator David Vitter, of Louisiana says, "A lot of us who have coverage that we're reasonable satisfied with are gonna get dumped, pure and simple."

One man who opposes the Health Care Bill says he hopes the plan never happens.  Others seem to agree.

"I believe that it's the President's intention to ramrod something through Congress."  John Tompkins says, who also opposes the bill.  "To not even give the people a chance to consider it or even be heard."

Monday, Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin had to shout over protestors as he tried to explain the health care bill.

Republicans say it is true opposition to Mr. Obama's health care plan.  However, Democrats argue Republicans and special interest groups are orchestrating the discontent.

There are more than 1,000 pages in the health care bill. This week the White House set up a web site to answer critics and questions.
