@MsZeitgeist85 Partisan? He seems like one of the only ones who earns his paycheck alongside Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.... The health bill was passed just so they could read it.
@MsZeitgeist85 Having medicare for all would perpetuate the problem. Giving Government control perpetuates the problem. Big Pharm/insurance wrote Obamacare. Besides, social programs never work, they are immoral and will always be insolvent. As a result you get poor quality expensive product. Just look at College Tuition rates, prices have skyrocketed ever since gov't began subsidizing it. Government eliminates competition.
@hunden8404 No it will not. Canada spends half as much as we do and their Single Payer system covers everyone and outpreforms our for profit system in every area.
@MsZeitgeist85 Look at the quality of their care. Animals get better treatment. Why? Because it's privatized. That's how it works, it would be great if programs like this worked, but they just don't. It eliminates incentive to keep prices low. Research college tuition rates, it's the same concept. Please research this.
@hunden8404 WRONG the health care there is just as good ahs here. It sounds like you have been parroting John Stossel and Sally Pipes. For every Canadian comming here for care there are 10 Americans going to Canada.
There is no such thing as a "Free Market" Health Care solution and there never will be.
@MsZeitgeist85 Well I guess we just disagree, my grandma is from Canada has nothing pleasant to say about the healthcare. Her mother waited 5 days to get a deathbed. I personally do not trust the government to run healthcare, it should be left up to the doctors. Medicine should be treated like a normal business. Besides with the loss of all civil liberties healthcare is the last thing we should be worried about...
@hunden8404 In a Single Payer System the goverment does not run care they just finance it. If the doc says you need something you get it. I just viseted friends in British Colombia and when their son broke a collar bone he was in within a hour. When his wife needed an emergency c-section she revieced it no problem, no wait, life saved.
Medicine should not be treated like a buisness because only the USA does that and we rank dead last of all OECD countries in health care. Yet we spend the most
@MsZeitgeist85 Once the Gov't begins to fund it the cost will continue to rise and rise until it becomes insolvent.Look at the worldwide crisis, it's due to all the hand out programs. Besides, government doesn't generate revenue to spend on healthcare. I don't believe in the use of force, the gov't uses force to steal my hard earned money and if I don't pay they result to violence (throwing me in a cage). States adopting this type of healthcare would be ok(10th amend). But federal mandate?No way
@hunden8404 So you would rather pay $1400 a month in insurance premiums and not be guaranteed coverage than pay an extra $350 a month in taxes and be guaranteed care no matter what?
@MsZeitgeist85 Well, the cost would raise even more once gov't subsidizes it, which taxes will continue to rise as well. I personally like to make my own decisions and live in freedom.Gov't healthcare will not provide that. It sounds like a good idea, but will fail every time.If the frivolous lawsuits would stop against docs (tort reform) then premiums could go down. Fear of being sued forces them to run all kinds of pointless tests, which the ins. comp. has to pay for.Thus the rise in premiums.
Also, the something for nothing principle makes people see a doc when in actuality they don't need to. That costs money even though they pay only a copay/premium. Continue to do that and costs rise. Also, people in poor health will always pay more that's how it works. Insurance companies need to stay in business to raise our standard of living. Besides gov't run healthcare programs are written by the "greedy" insurance companies and pharmacy companies. Look into Pres. Obamas health reform.
I plan to treat my patients without excepting insurance. I'll simply charge a fee for whatever medical service I provide. It's my practice and it's my right to do so, if I go out of business then it's my fault. It's immoral for a gov't to tell me otherwise.
@hunden8404 If you allow a for profit insurance company to take 1/3 out of every dollar that is spent on health care people will be denied coverage and they will die. Why is that so hard for people on the right to understand?
@hunden8404 No it doesn't Medicare was stripped of any collective bargining with drug companys and was given more restrictions under Medicare Part C & D
HMOs DO NOT raise our standard of living they lower it. THe USA is the only developed nation that allows them and because of this we have the worst health care system in the deveoped world. That is why people in droves are leaving the US for care.
@MsZeitgeist85 Medicare shouldn't exist in the first place. HMOs are crap so let's repeal the HMO act of 1973 where gov't once again got involved and screwed things up.
Look at what happened when Bush got involved with education and prescriptions for the elderly... Healthcare is a privilege not a right. Our only rights are life, liberty, and property. Everything else is our choice (eg: health habits)
Just my philosophy, I am an individualist at the highest extent.
It's not right for others to pay for my poor decisions. I enjoy freedom and if I choose to live unhealthy to where I cannot get insurance then so be it. I chose my fate. It comes down to morality and I feel it is immoral to use force and violence to take from others.
@hunden8404 You are an indivitual untill you get sick or injured and ether die or go decades into debt like countless others do which is why Americas Health Care System is the joke of the developed world. 62% of all bankruptcys in the USA are from medical debt.
@MsZeitgeist85 I still will be an individual. It is not moral for me to make you pay for my poor decisions or for my life. If you decide to foot people's bills then you can willfully donate to charity.
I think our healthcare system is deeply flawed, but mostly as a result of gov't interference. I am a hands off person, medicine is just another business. Doctors offer a service and how we decide to practice is our right to do so.The cost wouldn't be so high if docs weren't so scared of being sued
@hunden8404 It's not just your money it is everyones money that is pooled together for a Single Payer System. When you say " I shouldn't pay taxes for other people's health care " makes as much sense as saying why should I pay to build roads and bridges I will never drive on.
@MsZeitgeist85 Exactly! It's immoral! The roads would still be built without taxes. How has radio survived without taxes? I don't believe in any taxation whatsoever, people are brainwashed into feudalism and no one even notices. It's all a scam, DC is the richest city in the nation (i wonder why). But I realize I'm an idealist and I will be forced to pay taxes until I die. All I ask is to keep it at a state level NOT federal. Fed gov't is only responsible for protecting our freedom.
And you're right, I shouldn't have to pay for roads I don't drive on in other states. Allocation for road funding should be left up to the states not the feds. Besides, 51% of our taxes go to funding the military industrial complex. I'm not one for government, but Ron Paul seems to be the only guy who cares about our liberty and the only one who wants peace. He actually wants to bring the troops home and take the money saved and refund our social welfare programs.
@hunden8404 There is a reason that this for profit health insurance is illegal in every other country because it kills people. Even other countrys that use the all private Bizmark Model and have the payer collectivle bargin.
There are some things to admire Ron Paul on but his idea for health care is unworkable. You can't just lower the prices for services to have everything be a out of pocket. This is surprising since he's a doctor.
@MsZeitgeist85 Then why is it that cost for Lasik eye surgery keeps going down? When a third party pays, it has an inflationary effect. It's not rocket science.
@H1TMANactual Almost all elective care cost is ether flat or dropping because the training for it is not leave the doctors in debt.
THe average Primary Care medical student in the USA graduates 145 grand in debt. In Canada it is about half that. Elective care training doesn't require the years and training that Primary Care does.
You can't compaire Elective Care with Primary Care.
Having the payer collectivly bargin is the only way to make a system solvent.
@MsZeitgeist85 That's the stupidest idea ever. Do you collectively bargain for your telephone and cable bill? Plastic and lasik surgeons make much more than than primary care while keeping the cost down. Markets work, stop fighting it.
@H1TMANactual WRONG Name one single country other than the USA that does not have the payer collectivley bargin with the providers and drug and equitment companys? Name one single country other than the USA that allows for profit insurance for primary care? Our health care system is the joke of the world and that comparison of phone and cable doesn't work.
THere is no such thing as a "Free Market" solution and their never will be.
@H1TMANactual Chile right now has a mixed system of Provincial Medicare (Single Payer) and a Bismark Model with private insurance. ALL of them collectivley bargin and all primary care is non profit.
@MsZeitgeist85 LOL. Head on back to google. Chile has plenty of private insurance companies just like US that are NOT collectively bargained. Also most are FOR profit.
@H1TMANactual Thats not true at all. No other country in the world allows for profit primary care insurance. Chile has 18% of its insurance for profit and none of it is for primary care.
It seems you misunderstood me on collectivley bargining. It's not the people that collectivley bargin with the insurance companys it is the insurance that collectivley bargins with the providers and companys
@MsZeitgeist85 Chile has plenty of for profit including primary care and so do most countries and most also have individual insurance. You need to google better.
@H1TMANactual That is not ture. The only country to have for profit primary care is pre-1994 Switzerland. Look up Swiss health care reform of 1994
I have reaserched this for many years and the reporter TR Reid has investigated the health care of all developed nations and some non devoloped nations. There is for profit insurance but none of it is primary care. Every country other than the USA it is prohibited by law.
@MsZeitgeist85 No you haven't. For one I used to live in a country with legal, for profit primary health care. There are over 180 countries in this world, most have for profit health care sector, including primary care. You need to google better.
@MsZeitgeist85 Well it shouldn't ever be "illegal" we should have the choice not to use it and visit physicians who offer there own price for services. The process won't be immediate as far as prices coming down. We have to work towards that. But if Doctors are allowed more freedom to practice medicine how they please without the fear of being sued for ridiculous reasons, then we will see a gradual drop in medical charges as the "invisible hand" takes effect.
I think the best thing to admire about Ron Paul is the fact that he is exposing the fascist shift in the U.S. He is the only person who doesn't want to go to war. Either Obama lied or there is an invisible force running politics.As a combat veteran (Infantry Corpsman)I support Ron Paul.These wars do not support freedom and they are not good for our arab brothers and sisters. Ron Paul is a physician who has practiced medicine before and after gov't got involved. I believe he has a lot of insight.
@hunden8404 Ron Paul makes sense on things like ending the wars, downsizing the military, decriminalizing cannibus, removing the bankers from the Federal Reserve, ending foreighn aid to Israel and its puppet goverments. but people don't remember that health care was not that great back then. That out of pocket model he is advocating only exists in 3rd world countries.
@hunden8404 Doctors in the UK and Canada have FAR more freedom than we have. In the UK the NHS had only 887 medical lawsuits in 2009. In 2004 Canada had 1104. THe reason is that if the Doc makes a mistake and you are disabled you still have coverage so you are far less likely to sue them in the first place.

@Christhefireshark what are you talking about. you really think america is running right. You think all the wars overseas are justified? you think you contribute to your 17trillion debt? wake up to yourself tard, support the people not your hijacked government.
@OpalSerpent Did you even read my comment? Our government is not perfect, but that doesn't mean everything said against it is true. Assuming the worst without proof is no difference than assuming the best without proof. Now go look this up at an unbiased third party, and draw your own conclusions. You ass.
Support the shutdown of the government. We have a chance at passing a balanced budget amendment. Without A SHUTDOWN these politicians will never pass the balanced budget amendment. Tell your congressman that you do not want the debt ceiling raised. Support tax cuts. If you can join the march on Washington. The price of oil has risen to 108. We cannot afford to let the dollar slide any more. We need to abolish the Federal Reserve.
god damn jim demint and da boys are the best.. mistermayy is exactly right, fuck these shady democrats. the democrats, if they get there way... will RATION your energy usage... so when they think you have used enough energy... your water/power will be shut OFF. who is the govt. to control my energy usage? wtf...? you wonder why people quit paying taxes and sustain themselves in the hills of virginia? what a bunch of dodgy democrats....
10 years a bill has been worked on? No one in this country gets to say yes or no to their representative? No one in this country has any idea what’s being passed in the name of the American People? It is not the mandate we give our representatives. If something can’t survive by the light of the day, but does by the dark of the night, has to stop now. All bills passed this way need to be reviewed by the American People and then be re-voted on.
DeMint is exactly right. Billions of new spending and outrageous growth of government passes unchallenged and in the dark every week the Senate is in Session. Why in the world do we want to make it easier for the Statists to drive us to financial ruin? No matter what the facts are, no matter how dire our situation is, these political reprobates have only 1 speed--full force ahead, no brakes, no stops, no turns til we are flying past the guardrails into the chasm of insolvency.
At least Jim is not playing ball with the bad guys and lets us all know how dirty politics really are. Otherwise we would all be ignorant to the theif of our lives.
"senator" wyden -(d-OR) is the one who wrote the individual mandate requirement from the health care fraud bill, NOW, he wants to EXEMPT Oregon from the very provision HE wrote.
the criminals are concentrated in one part of our country. they gather in secret and cut deals with corporations then lie to all about what their true motives are. they have no respect for the property, money of freedoms of others. they only care about themselves. they are the 535 prostiticians sent to represent the will of the people, and now only serve themselves. they know that the federal government is insolvent, but intend to tax the citizens to further stuff the coffers of the oligarchy.
Hold them all up and get them read and voted on openly...screw the impatient socialist Senate members! It's secret because they know they won't get away with it openly! As usual, they are doing whatever they damn well please! Get these pigs out of Washington!
I'm so glad every time I see a politician exposing the "secret" agenda of the American governemnt. I dont have a clue on your voting past Sir but talking like this you better stop flying and be sure to be careful to not have any "accidents".
"work with your colleagues"? What the hell for? Those reprehensible scum on left side of the aisle are lying, cheating vipers! Just commit yourself to rolling back every stinking piece of legislation that they have passed to date, otherwise this incremental destruction of our country will have been successful.
You know what this says to me? Dems have had control of Congress since 2006. Didn't get done. 'Over a decade' means before Bush. Still not done. Why? It means they DONT care about bringing this legislation into the light of day. Only now, since the mood of the country has turned ugly against liberals, AND it's an election year, is this man going to be 'serious' about this. Still just lip service. Some Repugs are just as bad, mind you.
Hugh Hewitt wrote a book called If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat: Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends on It. I'd say our lives depend on it. Be merciless towards them!
The economic crash didn't start in this admin it started during the prior eight years. Place credit/blame where it is due. How about making some suggestions on how to fix it istead of telling blatant lies about how we got here.
@jburn83468 The economic crash started back after WWII. Legislation and favortism is what got us into this mess. Both dems and reps are responsible for this mess. And it wasn't just the last administration. You could add the repeal of Glass Steagal under Clinton, and Barnet and Chris running Fannie and Freddie into the ground and forcing banks to make loans to high risk buyer home sales. That's the latest bubble in a long list of bubbles.
slowly by stealth bureaucracy will the globalists, transnational socialists take over the world! go watch some alex jones people. in the eu unelected officials just pass laws with no votes or debate..here its just slothfulness & apathy that allows the same damn thing!
We get direct linked to CIA presidents, and currently Barry Soetoro is in office. Good luck "change" ing a damn thing. If they are in office, and not screaming to "we the people", then they need to GTFO on Nov.
Crap like 300 pages added at 3AM to the CRAP in trade bill, with the pages not on the floor of the "House" before they vote it through IS CRIMINAL.
The DNC has self destructed now they tell Greene in South Carolina to get lost? Every Dem has fallen on the sword for Obama who has proven to be worthless. Obama had no record and got elected- bad example, Greene may actually have something to offer. He's got one thing on BO already; he's actually had a real job. Also, maybe he'll take his job seriously. Unlike Obama who parties like it's 1999 as he destroys the economy, the environment, healthcare, more wars. I wish it was 1999.
Despicable that members of either house would vote on bills they did not read. That is treason and it is punishable by hanging by the neck until dead. BASTARDS.
I should be shocked...but at this point...I'm not. Some really bad &%$& is going down in the Congress. I've been studying our courts, our law...and it's all legalese, or legal fiction....so Congress has to operate same way...total corruption...with just a couple of people trying to do some good....DeMint is one of the very, very few...
It is nice to know what goes on in the Senate. The way business is done is probably more of a scandal than we could imagine. Wouldn't it be nice if they would just commit to conceive of legislation without outside control, write their own legislation in a way that could be understood by all citizens, and read the legislation through before any vote took place. Straightforward process. Why not? If it doesn't come to the floor, it doesn't get a vote. No roll call, no bill.
President Obama and many in Congress say, the American People do not care about the process,... BS! That is precisely what we had HOPED would CHANGE in Washington, D.C.! Instead, it is the same old corrupt, secretive process with a hefty dose of Chicago, break your knee-caps politics poured on top.
You would think his point is understood as common sense and practiced openly and no other secret way. Thank you Senator DeMint for your explanation and sincere committment to honest open way of passing a bill that spends a dime of taxpayer money. That my friends is what representative government is should be.
@freegover He's a hypocrite like the rest of them. He just happens to be your hypocrite at this time. This guy is full of crap. Any senator can filibuster anything. He is whining that bills get passed without discussion...then he is part of the problem for not standing up to it instead of blathering out his entertaining rhetoric that people "want" to hear. Wake up.
@Ninetyone11 you are a NEOPHYTE. look it up... you are such a joke. OBAMACARE WAS OVER 2000 PAGES! wtf are you thinking...... his entertaining rhetoric? his spitting the truth.... "crushing debt" and you think this is just a guy full of crap? get the fuck out of here. the PROBLEM is expansion of government.... HARRY REID is the problem. you are lost my friend
Interesting, as the central bankster cartel had their Federal Reserve act passed the same 'hidden' way. Now the US dollar has lost over 95% if its value (what it can actually buy in stores, etc) since then. This is why it now takes over $1 trillion a year of debt just to keep the fraudulent system running.
Can any of you share this video to MySpace, Facebook...? I have tried several times, but YT will not allow it. Give it a try, I am curious if anybody else can share this. Please let me know.
I think you guys should watch the documentary "America: Fredom to Fascism". It talks about how the Federal Reserve was made and how the government is really controlled. Very informative.
Thanks Sen. DeMint! Keep exposing the bums! If the actual congress doesn't write the bill, then the bill should not even come into the senate. Stop paying the Senate until they start doing some actual work.
You will never see this on CBS, MSNBC or any other network for that matter. Except maybe FNC. The mainstream media is in cahoots with these bastards. Flush 'em out come November.
Is about time that someone like Senator Jim to speak out for doing the right thing. To ask the People of the United States before placing a vote for any Bill!! Instead for the government increasing government spending which increases our National deficit. Is time that Us the American People finally have control and is aware what's going on in both Houses.
With a debt of 13 TRILLION dollars and 138 million taxpayers we each owe $94,202.90 Got your checkbook handy? The average income in the US is $44,389 (if you're lucky enough to have a job). If you can go 2.12 years without any income (or deductions from that income) the problem is solved! What, you want to eat? Don't worry, Mr Obama will feed you, house you and pay for your home... if you're an illegal immigrant. But doesn't that rack up more debt? OK, my bad, catch 22. 2012 is coming
Wake Up America! It's your right to know what is going on in Washington before it is too late! Doing business behind closed doors is "disrespectful" to the American people!
Vote the democrats and rhinos ALL out. This is easier to do than to sort them out! Chicago politics are running We the Peoples White House. Everybody get involved. Make your representative ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU! These libs and rhinos are power hungry and they won't stop till they are either thrown out of office or until they have it all and that is their goal!!!
This shows the level of total corruption and treason in our completely criminal government. Nothing will change until the American people crush the life out of this filthy two-headed one party system of lies, fraud and theft.
What's coming? A total melt-down and WWIII.
When a criminal government gets too exposed...they start a war.
WOAH!...now thats huge to have that being said on the senate floor by someone inside...we needed that..but...lets not forget this is old...why has it taken so long for our representatives to say anything?! two words...PATRIOT ACT!
The problem isn't democrats or republians. The problem is govt. Any system that uses violence to solve social issues has the seeds of its own destruction built into it. Let's evolve past this old way of thinking.
There is a simple solution: Every Senator must prove that they have read, and understand every bill that they vote on, on penalty of expulsion from the Senate.
Our federal government fell to organized crime a long time ago.
Washington DC is now a government run by criminals, for criminals, and they aren't too keen on constitutional limitations or sovereign authority. They work for an "international community" that views our country and constitution as their final hurdles which must be destroyed.
The Senate is theater used to legitimize treason. Or you can keep believing that DC is run by "fools" who can't balance a check book.
If you do NOT read the bill before passing it, is TREASON and should be Prosecuted to the full letter of the LAW! "Rope on Tree" All Bills that was passed unconstitutional and one that were amended of not reading should be thrown OUT!
@DillonDee1 So you are saying that our senate and congress should NOT READ the BILLS? We the People should not have access to this bills? WOW do you work for the gov?

It's not right for others to pay for my poor decisions. I enjoy freedom and if I choose to live unhealthy to where I cannot get insurance then so be it. I chose my fate. It comes down to morality and I feel it is immoral to use force and violence to take from others.

@hunden8404 You are an indivitual untill you get sick or injured and ether die or go decades into debt like countless others do which is why Americas Health Care System is the joke of the developed world. 62% of all bankruptcys in the USA are from medical debt.
MsZeitgeist85 1 week ago
@MsZeitgeist85 I still will be an individual. It is not moral for me to make you pay for my poor decisions or for my life. If you decide to foot people's bills then you can willfully donate to charity.
I think our healthcare system is deeply flawed, but mostly as a result of gov't interference. I am a hands off person, medicine is just another business. Doctors offer a service and how we decide to practice is our right to do so.The cost wouldn't be so high if docs weren't so scared of being sued

@hunden8404 It's not just your money it is everyones money that is pooled together for a Single Payer System. When you say " I shouldn't pay taxes for other people's health care " makes as much sense as saying why should I pay to build roads and bridges I will never drive on.
MsZeitgeist85 1 week ago
@MsZeitgeist85 Exactly! It's immoral! The roads would still be built without taxes. How has radio survived without taxes? I don't believe in any taxation whatsoever, people are brainwashed into feudalism and no one even notices. It's all a scam, DC is the richest city in the nation (i wonder why). But I realize I'm an idealist and I will be forced to pay taxes until I die. All I ask is to keep it at a state level NOT federal. Fed gov't is only responsible for protecting our freedom.
hunden8404 1 week ago
And you're right, I shouldn't have to pay for roads I don't drive on in other states. Allocation for road funding should be left up to the states not the feds. Besides, 51% of our taxes go to funding the military industrial complex. I'm not one for government, but Ron Paul seems to be the only guy who cares about our liberty and the only one who wants peace. He actually wants to bring the troops home and take the money saved and refund our social welfare programs.

@hunden8404 There is a reason that this for profit health insurance is illegal in every other country because it kills people. Even other countrys that use the all private Bizmark Model and have the payer collectivle bargin.
There are some things to admire Ron Paul on but his idea for health care is unworkable. You can't just lower the prices for services to have everything be a out of pocket. This is surprising since he's a doctor.

@H1TMANactual Almost all elective care cost is ether flat or dropping because the training for it is not leave the doctors in debt.
THe average Primary Care medical student in the USA graduates 145 grand in debt. In Canada it is about half that. Elective care training doesn't require the years and training that Primary Care does.

@MsZeitgeist85 Well it shouldn't ever be "illegal" we should have the choice not to use it and visit physicians who offer there own price for services. The process won't be immediate as far as prices coming down. We have to work towards that. But if Doctors are allowed more freedom to practice medicine how they please without the fear of being sued for ridiculous reasons, then we will see a gradual drop in medical charges as the "invisible hand" takes effect.

I think the best thing to admire about Ron Paul is the fact that he is exposing the fascist shift in the U.S. He is the only person who doesn't want to go to war. Either Obama lied or there is an invisible force running politics.As a combat veteran (Infantry Corpsman)I support Ron Paul.These wars do not support freedom and they are not good for our arab brothers and sisters. Ron Paul is a physician who has practiced medicine before and after gov't got involved. I believe he has a lot of insight.

@hunden8404 Ron Paul makes sense on things like ending the wars, downsizing the military, decriminalizing cannibus, removing the bankers from the Federal Reserve, ending foreighn aid to Israel and its puppet goverments. but people don't remember that health care was not that great back then. That out of pocket model he is advocating only exists in 3rd world countries.

@hunden8404 Doctors in the UK and Canada have FAR more freedom than we have. In the UK the NHS had only 887 medical lawsuits in 2009. In 2004 Canada had 1104. THe reason is that if the Doc makes a mistake and you are disabled you still have coverage so you are far less likely to sue them in the first place.

The Senate is theater used to legitimize treason. Or you can keep believing that DC is run by "fools" who can't balance a check book.
