Overview of Obama Healthcare Reform Plan

[krunch84]

This is just a building block to lock americans with great health into something they don't need! What's next in years to come?, we HAVE TO TAKE A VACCINE THATS GONNA KILL US OR BE FINED? fuck mandatory health care. It should remain a free option.

[feralasad]

Most people don't know the plan, nobody is going to force you to take the new health care plan if is approved, i hope is approved because it can't be possible that you have to wait for hours at a hospital and then you have a debt of thousands of dollars. Most people is not well informed about the plan and think all that crap that the usa is becoming socialist and that the government will force you to go to their plan and that is not true.

[puzzlemaker69]

I'm guessing most people who oppose this plan are in perfect health with no pre-exhisting conditions. Try getting medical coverage when you have a physical ailment or even switching carriers. Under the current system, you are SOL.

[TheNewVideo]

This is all about Obama and the Democrats and NOT about Americans !!!!

[TheOneToBlame10]

I believe this plan will not make it after all. There's so many ppl that disagree with obamas plan and mostly white americans that are not parts of any minority. I don't wanna talk about the plan cause I haven't entirely understood it yet. But america is far too conservative for obama's more europian liberal ideas. There's too much hate and despise between nationalities in this country that as long whites are a majority these kinda bills won't pass. I dunno if it's better off this way or not.

[ubuibiok]

Obama was bought off..."Options are now mandates" and coverage for all, no mater what the alignment our medical past history has morphed into a National Medical record system and limited coverage with high co-pays and cost coverage increases for everyone on Medicare and Medicaid . Military TRIcare is saved but the rest of my fellow Americans got the shaft shoved up there poor asses .

[kvjhedfbv]

Educated Americans know that Obama's plan is corrupt.

Lawsuits and fraud are the problem.

Obama refuses to do anything about it.

[kayakmoetown]

your stupid. their r so many other ways to avoid taxes. your just trying to reinforce your own belief. that all rich people r bad and all poor r repressed. here ill give u an ex... start your own NGO and corrupt it then u don't have to pay any taxes. the true theft of r time will be the devaluation of the US. dollar to pay for your entitlements. this takes from the poor of other nations to give to r poor. but wait there poor see r poor as rich umm.

[xgrivera]

don't think for one second that everybody that donates to charities does it out of mere kindness...some people do and I won't deny that...but, some people only donate because of the potential tax breaks

[johninva123]

Liberals are all moochers whether they are rich or poor. Living off welfare or daddy's money. Liberals are usless people.

[integralboy]

I am a liberal and I don't live off welfare or daddy's money. Btw, what is a moocher and why are they "usless"?

[johninva123]

A moocher is someone like you that thinks the govt and other people should make their life better. Did you know that conservative give far more money to charties than do liberals. And when they do they tend to give to real helpful things not like liberals do. What little they do give is to a fell good political cause. Seed liberals want other people to pay and solve problems, not them. Oh no...liberals are the useless people.

[johninva123]

Liberal elites use poor stupid liberals as a feel good tool.  The elite pass laws to use other peoples maoney to help them. Poor stupid liberals suck all this up and remain the victim because it pays off. Poor stupiod liberals dont think they should except responsibility for any poor/bad choices in life they made. They keep on smoking, eating to much, skipping school, drinking to much and whining about how the man is keeping them down.

[curingaging00]

i think this health care plan will work...

like what if you became seriously ill at risk of death... you are out of work/not very wealthy...

you think its ok to just be turned around? no.

leaving someone to die like that is just not ok.

[xxECLIPSEPBxx]

if u need imediate surgy... u cant get it right away it has to be approved , whick takes weeks, if ur hurt call 911 u will get help poor or rich

[95678Bob]

The drug and insurance companies will pay anyone to say anything. I'm for taxing the heck out of the profits of the insurance and drug companies like we used to do when health care was affordable. Let's tax their profits. Those companies get tax breaks right now. Why? Tax them, not us! United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

[frankiebaby725]

The biggest problem that I see with this healthcare bill is that there's no tort or malpractice reform. The reason that premiums are rising, and the reason the AMA isn't on board with this is because the bill offers them no protection from the trash of society filing suit after suit in order to get a free payday.

Has anyone ever watched daytime TV and wonder why theres so many personal injury commercials? Use your brain!

This bill falls short on so many levels.

[philosophyscholar]

Seeing that if what you call the trash of society was able to have health care dont you think the majority would begin feeling better about them selfs and the country they live in? Dont you think the overall moral of this country would benefit from this bill? If indeed the bill does pass I think it will be a beacon of hope for the country as a whole and the people would start feeling better about being a american. This country needs a government that helps its people not one that looks away.

if u want a little more info about certain organizations that support Obamas Plan, how about AARP..the ceo is Barry Rand..The original organizer was Dr, ethel Percy Andrus,a former schoolteacher, who studied gerontology, population health,etc: I would google them and find out for yourselves what they are all about. Alot of it involves genetics. Also, regarding vaccinations, GARDASIL a vaccination injected into school children,has ROACH KILLER in it..google it, alot of info, its scary!!

[4567894321]

Obama wants a federal takeover of all banking systems . There is a bill in congress right ow that is promoting just that thing. They will go into every bank account , yours and mine, and deduct a certain amount of money towards health care.. This is the single payer system he wants.. If anyone objects to it , they will be fined. Sounds like communism under the flag of federalism... Its on pg 195 and pg 203 , of this bill,

[DJH1170]

Do you realze, that this healthcare system will Bankrupt the country, Right?!? I mean the CURRENT one!

[lonaticc]

Heathcare with what $? Obama is moving the inspectors general into the executive branch so the executive branch will have control of all the inspectors general. Now he's got "czars" that answer to no one. They don't answer to congress. Framework being put into bills that are going to make congress impotent, plus now with ACORN doing the census? That WILL shift boundaries & shift capital & shift power = DICTATOR. I hope he never turns into one. But gee, the framework is sure being built for that.

[ladyshondra]

if this is so great for us, the common people, why is congress excluded??? answer me that.

[rainmkr6970]

good point, also, no one is mentioning the fact that, and I can comment as a business owner that if I am dictated to what I have to do, all business owners will decrease incomes and salaries to cover the forced cost.

Again the consumer loses

[ladyshondra]

common sense people, NOTHING is ever Free. it HAS to be financed. this morning, there are changing their respond, now it was never about savings but 'containing cost', like they first said the bailout would create jobs, now they say it 'saved' jobs' with no way to quantify it. they will say anything but the truth.

[AmirGTR]

Because they already have it.

[pigloverAllah]

So if the government is going to provide "free" healthcare to those that are uninsured why should I continue to pay for my insurance through work? If they're going to take my tax money I might as well try and get it back for myself.

[wsoxman]

So government is going to MAKE private business provide "Benefits" to all employees? Wages would most likely fall.

How could this be legal? Insurance premiums will increase for all because pre existing members have greater risks and demand for services? Why should a person that is healthy pay the same as someone that doesn't take care of their health? Smoke, fat foods, no exercises. Obama's plan is inefficient and socialistic.

[Miah151]

Thank you for pointing this out!Obamabots must do their homework Big Government is not what we need!

[shakezerofive]

this is not universal health care. in comparison to the comments he made in his official youtube video about health care, his website is completely contradictory. how can you give people universal health care when you ask them two choose between health care plans?

[chanbara]

it gives the people the choice of what they need without any discrimination or economic setbacks

[shakezerofive]

that may be true, but it shouldn't be called "universal" health care. "nondiscriminatory" or "progressive" health care would have been a better name.

[A19Z89]

How sick is it that our 'representatives' get good health care while a moderate percent of the citizens they represent do not....
