It is time for America to join the civilized world, Forget the gun toting yellers and start actually thinking. Why is America so afraid of having a government option? Or Government? Sure beats greedy CEO’s making millions off of peoples well being.
Health care is a human right.
How can you even talk about Americans deciding where their money is spent, exenron? If Obama and his mob were interested in the least in stimulating the economy, they would have given the money to US!! Talk about jumpstarting the economy! Split one or two trillion dollars up among U.S. citizens and their families, and just watch the economy explode into prosperity!!
With all the money Obama has WASTED, most of us could be out of debt! He wants one thing–control. Of everything. Of US.
You have faith in Obama, exenron. That’s why you’re so, so wrong. He’s a born liar. He doesn’t even know what the truth is! All he does is lie, conspire against us, deceive, and twist things! He wants some kind of ‘health care reform’ passed so he can morph it into his socialist, euthanistic plan. And it IS forced, you need to read it! And while you’re at it, read it to Adolf Obama! What a fool, trying to ram that crap down our throats. He’s a disgrace to America!
Don’t give me that old crap of trying to accuse conservatives of what you liberals are doing. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re fully aware of all your bs tricks. That’s why the patriots that Pelosi is out there insulting are so upset at the town hall meetings. We’re sick to death of the liberal lies and bullshit!
What happened to your sister is regrettable, for sure. I can’t apologize for the HMO, but I can guarantee you that if Obama gets his way, a LOT of people will die!
Why are YOU against the US CONSTITUTION which mandates that the PEOPLE decide where their money is spent? What makes you think that if the Obama healthcare does not work then it will never be changed. I have a LOT MORE faith in democracy than you do. Then again, BUSH was in the WH for two terms, maybe you are right.
WRONG! ALL of the Obama plan is…OPTIONAL. You ARE NOT FORCED into ANY healthcare plan. You still can keep the healthcare your currently have. The US healthcare system is majorly BROKEN and in CHAOS. The PEOPLE have the RIGHT to determine how their taxes are used, PERIOD. STOP LYING!
BTW: my sister DIED two years ago when the LAWYERS at her PRIVATE HMO denied her live extending treatments. Why aren’t YOU in OUTRAGE over the HMO DEATH COUNCILS? I am.
That’s right, ltb. The government runs things–into the ground. And we pay the bill. And the liberals just keep spending, like there was no tomorrow. I’m convinced that, come 2010, there WILL be no tomorrow. For them. They are undoubtedly the most ignorant, selfish, criminal, empty-headed, socialistic bunch of liberals ever assembled in one place.
And then they have the audacity (remember that word, Obama?) to work against the vast majority of the American people! Have they no shame?
You can’t be serious exenron! Obama’s attempt to control the citizens of the U.S. through our health care, including his ‘end of life counseling’ (which amounts to explaining to individuals why we’re not going to get the treatments, meds, etc. that we need to live) is SERVING THE PEOPLE??? Barack Obama doesn’t give a damn about you or me. Neither does his Chicago mafia (Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dean, Emmanuel, Rezco, and the rest). They’re in this for themselves, and at our expense. WAKE UP!!!!
I believe the context of my coment clearly indicated the FEDERAL government, exenron. They have NO part in my police or fire departments. If I was a liberal, I would give them credit for the potholes in my roads that have wrecked my Blazer’s front end, but since I believe in the whole truth, they get no credit there either.
No, I think you’re the one who’s wrong here, but I give you kudos for being consistent. You’re just like your master. Consistently mistaken.
I encourage your right to protest and you should be thankful that you have a president who will not arrest you as a terrorist and waterboard you to confess…anything under the BUSH patriot act.
The Preamble to the Constitution says that it is the right of the PEOPLE to get government to..serve the PEOPLE. That is what healthcare reform is about.
It seems that you have a knack for being WRONG. Is it your nature, home schooling or bad breeding? Government runs LOTS of successful services besides the military and MOST of them are in it for the BUCKS since the draft disappeared. Consider BUSH who deserted from his cushy, safe place in the TANG where he earned UNSATISFACTORY ratings. Regardless, you have to thank GOVERNMENT for your police, fire, roads, airline safety and dozens of other legitimate functions. YOU should be thankful.
To trust and believe the politicians in Washington the country must be stupid… or gullible. How can these arrogant bureaucrats actually think they know what’s best for ME or you?
Stand up for free market, free thinking, and free humanity.
what I cant understand is given the track record of govt running anything-medicare=Bankrupt, SS=Bankrupt, Cash for clunkers=bankrupt, Post office=bankrupt. FEMA is a diaster, the DMV is laughable, and we cant forget the IRS and tax code in general. Govt runs any and everything into the ground.how ANYONE could supprt giving them control over such an important industry is truly beyond me. Especially when they openly admit they havent read it and dont understand it..are we that stupid as a country?
Ignorance is Bliss! It is because of our governments involvement (regulations & legislation) over the past 60-80 years or so, up into the present that we are having these health care issues of today.
You feel that total government control, of 16%-17% GDP that stimulates our economy by stimulating the private sector NOT the government sector, would be in great stimulus to the economy???
Beeirish1965,
You appear to be one of the 4% Ron Paul Libertarains who think the world is some kind of utopia with perfect people who will act perfectly if government would just get out of the way.
You don’t READ/LISTEN correctly: I have been saying for weeks that the govt is the PROBLEM NOT the SOLUTION. Your weak findings where, “CBO estimated that the current health care bill could save us a $1trill, NOT, it would increase the deficit by $1 trill over 10 years while leaving $30 mill uninsured, but the numbers closer to the correct estimates are a staggering $4++ trill over 10 years, resulting in the shift of 79 mill Americans to govt-run health care. NOT good for the economy.
The Oregon health plan? Oh yes. I remember that. Isn’t Oregon one of the states that legalized assisted suicide? How convenient, that people can be pushed into depression and then removed from financial responsibility by helping them KILL THEMSELVES?? I’m sure that’s right up Obama’s alley, after all, he’s got a bloodlust for innocent babies, why not add depressed people and sick people to the list? He’s one of the most murdering bastards that ever crawled the earth
Healthcare is socialism when it is run by the government, exenron. Our government has proven itself incapable of running ANYTHING properly, except the military, and that only because our soldiers are patriots, not traitors like the liberal bastards in office now.
You’ve got to be joking about conservatives being afraid. It’s the liberals who are afraid. Afraid of freedom of the people. Afraid of losing control. Afraid Obama will blow it bigtime. lol….too late!
Well excyoooooze me! So, are you saying that you DON”T think health care is a right? As far as democracy in action, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! My and my fellow citizen’s are engaging our Constitutional right to protest loud, long, and often against the fraud in the White House. Obama’s poll numbers are dropping faster then Hillary’s bladder after a hysterectomy!
The fact remains that government run plans all over the world lead to rationed care and fewer options for the patient. The reason many of these single payer systems are so well liked by the societies that have them is because they are largely healthy. Look at how they treat the elderly and the severly ill to see just how much compassion they actully lack. I stand by my comment and my concern about all Obama all the time. He’s taking control of EVERYTHING! Not this guy!!
exenrontexas, do you have any clue at all as to what the Preamble to the Constitution is? It has absolutely NO legal standing. And if you want a definition of the meaning of “promote the general welfare” actually means, then read the Federalist Papers. It’s explicitly explained there and it is NOT a catch-all phrase that allows the government unlimited powers. Dude, you’re such a dweeb!
exenrontexas-”The US healthcare is MEDIOCRE and NOT a world leader by any measure except…COST” You can’t be serious? Name one. As someone who’s been in health care for 20 yrs, and seen patients from literally all over the world who come here to be cared for(some of the wealthiest), your comments fall somewhere between ignorant and hilarious. And how do you interpret “promote the general welfare” to mean a health care mandate? Also, we pay people to make sure the patient is not over charged.
It is really a surprise that he is now saying the he does not want a single payer plan? Obama will say whatever he has to to gain support. He has been caught in so many lies, and it is so convenient that the main stream media doesn’t have anything to say about them.
