  • get ready for the police state. we were fucked from day one no matter who we voted for. end of story.

  • We've compromised on the compromise.

  • @Eaglesfaninca Now the GOP run house will simply defund the Obamacare. Its over, you libs will get nothing!

  • @calimar28 HAHAHAHAHA. What funding you moron? It's all regulation. And the public option would only have been funded by those who wanted it. Thanks for the laugh though.

  • @Eaglesfaninca Wrong. Obamacare has to be FUNDED with money up front plus money for agencies to run it UP FRONT, and the House of Represenitives controls the purse. That means The House (next year) can deny funds to it, which will not allow it to go into effect. You know, like how the democratic run House didnt fund the border fence that was already law? You know, like that.

  • @calimar28 (faceplam)

    "If the President does it, then it's NOT illegal"

  • Let's vote for the third party candidate next time around!

  • If you do not start to take responsibility for your own country, your representatives and the lives of your fellow citizen you will become a thoroghly corrupt country with poverty, despair, violence, unemployment and death as your main concerns. Completely under control by the very few rich people. IT'S YOUR CHOICE!!!!! Step the fuck up!!

  • That is why we pay our taxes and elect our democratic party and leaders based on OUR interests. You guys are facing an even more dire national disaster than the one you are in right now - unless you man up and a percentage of the the actual population of 250 million people crawl outta their homes, if it's still theirs, and do something real (protest, take to the streets, put pressure on the people who are supposed to respresent you).

  • America - you are finally forced to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. You keep insisting that your policies and your country is the best in the world, refusing to look to the European countries for inspiration.Maybe we have "socialism", if this is what you wish to call it.We call it common sense and morality. We take care of our citizen and we refuse to let cooperations take over the lifes of average tax-payers.

  • Comparing European countries to America is like comparing a Women's Studies class to the entire college system.

  • @mads888 Your socialism is falling apart! Look at France! The protests, the bankruptcy coming, the cuts to social security, England too. Greece is broke, the whole thing is coming apart. Please stop askign us Americans to look at Europe for insperation, your a failed model.

  • They are empowering the 0.1 % of the population while hammering down on the actual population. It's a sad sight to watch. The only really engaged people who vigorisly take to the streets are the saps who believe the cooporate sponsered propaganda. The rest of you are mostly just sitting on your butt watching yourself being sucked dry - live on TV.

  • update: the punk is still opposing the public option.

    If the people and the politicians in the states collectively decide to scrap the public option, then you guys will be further sorrounded by a storm. As it is you guys are in serious trouble. The cooperations and wall street are controlling you - as slaves bringing them income.

  • We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all HUMANS are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable RIGHTS, that among these are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

    Singe payer or you'll die broke, H.R. 676

  • The word is actually MAN. And by MAN, they actually meant white, rich, landowning, protestants. Women weren't even included.

    But I'm with you.

  • Yes, even a 200 year old document needs to be updated to be neutralgender (Declaration of Indepedence/Bill of Rights). We need to declare independence from Corporate CANNIBALS & put for PROFIT health DENIAL Co's. into the non profit realm of humMANe CARE! T. Jefferson & B. Franklin were our liberal Humans & if their wives would have had any HUMAN RIGHTS they would have included that word! Are we being Humane or beings denying to get there? S/Payer will decide need over c/greed & your huMAN!

  • Now there is TYT that I have grown to love. I was pissed at the Obama is a politician not a leader vid. Not because of your disdain but, because you didn't seem to understand that Rhama was corrected by President Obama immediately, which shows his leadership. Lets just wait until his speech next week, and see. I think he has a big surprise for the conservatives. At least I hope he does. Good job guys....RESUBSCRIBING!!

  • I think the first option is correct. Emmanuel is a political genius he would know better than to go on a road alone.

  • God wants people to stand up. Obama is clever. All we have been hearing is that Fox News is winning the argument, so Obama needs to change his tactics, scare people into believing there will not be a Public Option and watch the people rise up! Fox your gonna lose cos Obama is too smart for you!

  • The real DEATH PANELS are the insurance companies that deny a person coverage or raise peoples rates because of pre-existing conditions.

    Our government is a combo of capitalism and social programs that really started from FDR.

    Having a public option keeps the private insurance companies more honest and drives cost down. Without a public option, cost will more than likely stay up.

    Fox News, many Republican lawmakers, Lou Dobbs, Beck and Limbaugh are spreading lies about death panels.

  • It looks like you got the talking points down.

    We already have "public options" for the poor (Medicaid), elderly (Medicare), and children (SChips). I am sorry to say that these programs did not bring down the cost of health care.

  • Costs are up because the vast majority of health care is paid by 3rd parties - govt and insurance. When health care consumers pay pennies on the dollar out-of-pocket for the care that they receive, they do not make rational, educated decisions concerning their consumption. The Dr says you need this drug - you take it; the Dr says you need this expensive test - you get it. This is the main reason why costs are up. This will not change with a public option. Take a basic economics class.

  • We are talking about the cost of the health insurance. I know that there are doctors out there that "cheat" the system or they are super cautious about being sued, so they do expensive tests to cover there bases. But a lot of it is the cost to buy the insurance or to get the insurance. Pre-existing conditions blocked me from getting insurance a couple of times, so I know that we need reform now.

    Think whatever you want, but I believe health care reform is good for the people.

  • Good point - with a public option, they won't have to do expensive thorough testing to "cover their bases" for fear of being sued because you won't be able to sue the federal government - good luck with that.

  • People don't get blocked from buying insurance due to pre-existing conditions- these conditions are just not covered-and for good reason. If the insurance companies did cover them, people would have no incentive to buy insurance until they needed it. e.g.-19 yr old guy chooses not to buy insurance because he is young and in good health-then he breaks his leg skateboarding-he would then buy insurance to cover his pre-existing broken leg-even though he has not paid any $ into the system.

  • This not reform and it is not god for the people. It is more control of our lives. And I hate to get old school, because it is of no consequence to most people these days-but it is completely unconstitutional. I know, I know- what does that matter these days. These days, if the majority wants something, that makes it good, moral, and just. The feds are bankrupting medicare, medicaid, or social security. It would be foolish and ignorant to believe that they will do a good job with this.

  • Is this constitutional government, not for the PEOPLE by the PEOPLE?

  • Only the government would be stupid enough to cover pre-existing conditions in an insurance plan. That is not insurance at all, it's free money, and we'd have to subsidize it because the the premiums wouldn't cover it.

    It would be like totaling your car , and THEN signing up for insurance, LOL. It would be like calling in the middle of a Hurricane to get flood insurance. LOL

    Only the government could be so stupid, and who will fund the stupidity? TheTax-payer.

  • You should watch what you say about pre-existing conditions, you might be one of them.

  • BucJason,

    I hope you realize that medicare, the military and there dependents, prisoners and many others are covered under government plans.

    One day, you might be someone who will be denied coverage or have to pay a higher premium because of a medical problem. All of us eventually get sick and need medical attention. Think about it.

  • the military is a single payer system not public option if if you were in the military then you know that all they do for you is amputate and prescribe vitamin M. Single payer and public option cover everyone but they dont cover squat.

  • I was in the military, US Navy, everything was free for me and I had the best care. Plus, I got free dental too. And on the outside, the bill would have been sky high. So I do know what I am talking about.

    I said the military insurance is government run, not a public option.

  • yeah I was in the marines (Navy care and trust me they amputate before trying to save because its more cost effective. If thats the best care I would love to know why the civilian hospital hasn't cut off my other leg then. and a public option is funded by the government and if the people funding something dont like the way it is being run they threaten to cut the budget on it therefore they will control the healthcare.

  • Do you have documented proof of what you just said? If so, I believe you need to seek a lawyer. You should seek one anyway because this is negligence on the Navy's part. They were not suppose to do this. So I would consult a lawyer if you haven't done it already.

    My experience in the military hospitals were different.

  • I would consult a lawyer if I were you. This is negligence.

  • Yes, all the goverment public workers already get SINGLE PAYER=Uncle SAM! Taxpayers wake up! Forget all that right wing Gooblety GOoP!

    S/PAYER OR DIE BROKE!

    We already have the Public Option! Corporate Cannibals PROFIT from our PAIN! Make them all non profit & follow the HIPPOCRATIC oath to help all in PAIN without PROFIT!

    SINGLE PAYER OR DIE BROKE!

    Push House Resolution H.R. 676 & end discrimination or you[ll die broke like everyone else- greedy GOoPs pay cash & laugh @ insurance!

  • wow, you actually made a lot of sense with the analogy. You make a good point.

  • first savage then the young turks. even the douche bags are waking up. Glenn beck will never wake up, he's there to hijack.

  • Cenk - good luck on the list for the waiting list...

  • Rahm is certainly wasting a good crisis.

  • right on right on

  • werd

  • Why did Obama picked that fool Rahm as Chief of Staff?

  • I agree with you on most of the things but power of the media (not you) is so clever and Rahm knows what they are doing. De-sensitizing the people, that is what this is. Poll numbers are like the bottom line to these fools. They are RE-active and not pro-active. I do not know why, but these fools think that they are fooling me and that is so far from the truth. Please grind them to the stone on this.

  • Why are so many people upset about triggers? Trigger was the best horse Roy Rogers ever had!

  • will Rahm and his brother's addiction to greed lead to their demise?

  • your not aloud to say brother's, or his people, or anything other than his cabinet. they will put you on "the List"

  • Obama should take the trigger, than 1 day after it passes he should write up an executive order to trigger the public option.

  • WHEN your government takes over? Where have you been living since 9/11. If depopulation is on the cards I have a few suggestions. Anyone who doesn't know we are ONE species, anyone who can understand Sarah Palin, anyone who thinks more guns will solve the problem and, just fo me anyone who starts a sentence with 'This was a bad tornado but you should have seen the one....

  • Rahm Emanuel is a NWO scumbag. He wants to destroy guns rights so that American's can't protect themselves against government take over. His father was an Israeli terrorist. Obama's health care plan is centered around depopulation. They want to kill old people first, then the rest of us will come later. All of you sheeple who voted for this guy are morons.

  • no matter who you vote for, we get increasingly fucked. This isn't going to change cause of a few "votes".

  • Is everything this guy touches a "crisis"? First it was the banks (wihich are still failing even after the bailouts) , then the auto industry (which are still in trouble even after the government took control of the largest company) , now it is healthcare, what's next? Does government need to control our food intake so we don't run out of food? Food that is regrown every year from the ground? From the looks of things Obama IS a crisis all in himself.

  • Looks like Emanuel's being set up here...

  • This is such a liberal rag...lol.. what a joke....liberals should be banned.

  • If they get the public option, I will move to Gath's Gulch, with the other engineers.

  • If its not clear that our heath care system is broken and that a public option is totaly opposed by those who profit from the current system. Than the goverment needs to be put at gun point and givin an ultimatum.

  • Eat more deer meat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • eat more vegans! They are extremely healthy and lean, filled with vegetables and nutrients meat eaters really need. j.k

  • as an overweight vegetarian,

    i gotta tell you i found this comment pretty funny

  • Too tough.  Fat is flavour.

  • Too true! lol.

  • Its called "moving the goal posts". A classic tactic.

  • of course rahm is against the public option. wtf does he care he has excellent government sponsored healthcare

  • I called Obama being like this. I called Bush Jr. being like he was.

    It's so obvious if you take your thumb out of your ass and aren't afraid to see the truth.

  • If you can see into the future so well why don't you have a tv show, become a political adviser take the thumb out of your own ass. You're full of shit.

  • Not 70% suppot it is only 41% and disaprove is 41%. I just looked it up.

  • What is your source?

  • I was SOOOOO pissed when I read Rahm's idiotic comment in the Journal!!!! This was the worst possible timing to drop ANY sign of weakness, just when momentum was starting to turn in the Dems' favor. Sanders is the only one with any strategic sense who's on the right side of the health care issue. Reform without the public option is worse than doing nothing.

  • and Sanders is a Socialist.. a type of a socialist, i don't remember how he described himself..

    anyhow. i like Sen. Sanders

  • Sanders is a social democrat. That is a socialist that believes in a market economy, but with regulation and critical sectors of the economy such as health care socialized.

  • He is an independent, not a democrap.

  • Obama's chief-of-staff Rohm Emanuel is beholden to private health insurance loyists...like his brother lawyer is...and the 'trigger' is the status quo of saying 'our greedy profits are at stake...kill Obamas public health care plan for America...Emanuel should be fired from Obamas administration and replaced with Congressman Bernie Sanders...now there's the Will of 75% of Americans supporter!

  • Go Bernie Sanders! Those were some fine, intelligent quotes reflecting the true wishes of the People, not the fucked up wishes of the Corporatists who would like to preserve the status quo. To hell with Rahm Emanuel, vote his ass OUT!

  • also, screw Rahm Emanuel.

    I am not a dem (independent), but am a huge supporter of nationalized health care. I support a single payer plan, but do hold the public option to be real reform and satisfactory progress.

    The dems need to be very careful here. I believe they overestimate their relative strength vis-a-vis the repubs. I personally know a few dozen Democratic friends that will consider 3rd parties or not voting if they do 'reform' without a public option.

  • candiceevans thanks for the lulz

  • Finally some democrats who realize that their party has been hijacked by the global elite. Obama is just an actor

  • mark my words he will pull a false flag attack and blame it on terror before these 4 years are up,,,,please dont vote for him again,,,WAKE UP PEOPLE THIS GUY HAS BEEN GRROMED FOR THIS FOR DECADES. KISSINGER AND THE REST OF THE CFR, BILDERBURG AND TRILATERAL COMM. HE IS FAKE,,,A PUPPET SENT TO LUL US INTO A FALSE SENCE OF HOPE TO TAKE US INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. The pope is now demanding a new world order. THIS IS BULL. OBAMA IS TRYING TO DO AWAY W/TERM LIMITS WHATS NEXT KING OBAMA?

  • Why dont you go suck alex jones's dick a little more candiceevans.

  • Where do you get your information?

    Paranoia, anyone?

  • Rhom Emanual should not be in the white house we have two usurpers in the White House now,,,One Who is a Israeli Soldier another who was born in another country who hides all college transcripts and his real birth certificate. Barack has lied about everything he has said its abpout time people see it. He willl ruin this country...he will take free speech, second amendment, obama brigades will be running around brainwashing our kids,,,and we will be taxed to the poor house

  • Everything you are saying has no proof.

  • my wife gave birth and we spent 2 days in the hospital and my bill was $9000. Back in Zimbabwe my grandmother delivered many children who are alive and healthy today and she did it for less than $100 bucks. I paid $9000 for a messed up bed and epidoral and to make matters worse the doctor who was suppose to deliver shows up late and the nurse was telling my wife to stop pushing till she arrived. This system is bullshit! We need a change and if Obama won't get it done the fuck him.

  • AMEN! hope your wife is ok

  • ditto old son heathy007 i also hope your misses is ok!(and it goes without saying the nipper as well!)

  • Congress and Senate have a history of delaying important laws/rules etc - reparations. It should be illegal for them to work against the needs of the people. Is this type of behavior not addressed in the constitution?

    Obama can not do this with out the people. We must speak up.

  • I'd rather just let the people vote for extremely large select bills, like this and the bailout.

  • watch Obama go in the way of JFK, sad

  • Emanuel is a douche

  • Trial balloon to test public response.

  • I agree

    this is a fork in the road for the obama administration

    it can make or break him

  • hahaha sucks to be american

  • Obama + passing Health Care = A JFK type of Legacy.

    Obama - Passing Health Care = A Jimmy Carter type of Legacy

  • test

  • When I say 'I blame Bush' I mean he took surpluses as far as the eye can see into ridiculous deficits just to get re-elected in 04 which worked, thanks American voters you rule(sarcasm if you couldn't tell) >:( and now I am unemployed/casually employed.... (I'm not the only one by the way)

  • i hear you. when i came back after my 2nd tour, my old job got sent to India. i'm unemployed, i feel like rambo, i was worthy of using million dollar equipment in Afghanistan, but i can't even get a job at a car wash cause some high school kid got hired.

  • Seriously we are of similar age (I am 1 year older, born in 81) but you sh*t all over me in the 'deserving respect' stakes. All I have been doing since i left high school is looking after me/ making money for me. Fuck that I am a disgrace compared to you, you put your life on the line Ernesto.

  • Americans, go to the streets. For the love of whatever god you believe in or not, social healthcare works without any major problem. The richie rich can pay for their own options if they want, but if 70% of your population wants the government to organize healthcare for all citizens then why is it a debate? Seriously, why is there a debate?! Do it allready!

  • Canada looks better and better. If this is the best the Democrats can come up with, then this country deserves to fall.

  • Australia where I live has pretty much the same deal as Canada(We've had medicare since 1983). The problem for the US is it is in a huge hole economically (Due to Bush turning Clinton's surpluses into MASSIVE deficits). Also both countries and I'm not being funny are hiding under America's military umbrella. Our safety comes at their expense and seriously I don't believe that is fair. It's almost as if Australia and Canada are playing a practical joke on our protector the US. I blame Bush....

  • You should just shut the hell up Aussie oy oy oy. You are not SMART enough to comment on the affairs in the United State.....I blame the new Hussein Regime for the TRILLIONS of dollars my children and their children are going to have to pay off!!!!!!! He is a Marxist...socialized health care is the wrong care!

  • If your country didn't affect my my country so much I wouldn't give a shit. But it does and it has and I no longer have a full time job and the unemployment rate is rising by the day. Reason, G W Bush. How can tax less and spend more be a sensible conservative policy? You tell me.

  • You tell me how tax more and spend even more..it is the same as tax less and spend more...I hope everyone likes their current teeth they got..because under socialized health care....you can kiss em good bye. Just ask anyone in England......they don't have enough dentists!

  • That's because england made the mistake of allowing private health care in their system. Any country that did not allow this doesn't have this problem.

  • Here in Holland quality hasn't (yet) decreased much under partial privatization but costs over the last 10 years for me have quadrupled(!) from about 25 euros a month to a whopping 95. And I have to pay extra for dental care now.

    Of course the govt considers it a massive success because we have "a profitable healthcare industry now". Yeah great, all those CEOs and shareholders are making a fortune and we're paying for it.

  • Exactly ... I'm not a fan of allowing partial privatization.

    There are many things that can be done to bring down the cost. My dad, brother, cousin are all doctors here in Canada ... we talk about this all the time ... I'm getting a little tired of it ... I need a new hobby.

  • "Here in Holland quality hasn't (yet) decreased much under partial privatization but costs over the last 10 years for me have quadrupled(!)"

    Holland went from a single payer system to sort of a public option system. Not quite because its still mandatory. A huge mistake imo.

    Now the whole healthcare has become a for profit industry. People pay more and more for less or the same, while the big corporations get fat. Real shame because the Netherlands had one of the best systems in the world.

  • your right about what you say hassleoffa old son..and for that we have that ratbag maggie thatcher to blaim for it!

    she let these so called "health care" firms into the UK by the back door and they use the N.H.S hostipales and clinics and pay next to nothing! and reap vast profits! may that evil woman burn in HELL for all time for what she did!

  • sadly DaFanastyGuy old son your mistaken..we DO have quite a few dentists in the Uk but they have all opted out of the N.H.S as they can and do make more money in the privete sector!

    one of the things that Nye Bevin never fixed when he was elelcted British Prime Minister back in 1945

  • I say OL'Chap....then why in the bloody hell...did a poor ol'chap in the fine country of the Queen...use super glue to fix his problem with'is teeth? IT is simply because he couldn't wait the YEAR or so to get them fixed...admit it...the system you have is FLAWED!

  • not at all DaFanastyGuy old son.. it was down to the small but vital fact that he could NOT afford the very high price the damm dentist was going to charge!

    but your right the system in the UK as far as dentists goes IS FLAWED!

    it helps to think of it,as the worst of the US system(you pay through the nose)

  • wtf made any one think B.O was going to be any different than any other fake ass president that we've came across..

    they're all puppets to the Illuminati.. people are stupid as fuck, I bet here comes some idiot defending him, even if he robs u blind.. wait... he has, but its not his fault. U stupid asses will never understand who makes your money, cause u work hard for it, no questions asked..

    Goons

  • it's really no fucking wonder youtube can't make money, they can't figure out to get their target audience right.

    in the last 20 minutes i have watched them advertize on TYT with such products as : sarah palin, newt gingritch and scientology.

    i mean seriously, wtf.

  • i'm having all sorts of adds in arabic writing. What's up with that? I'm british for fucks sake! No, I would NOT like to buy some الرخيصة لحم الخنزير whatever that is!

  • lol

  • It would be cool if Emanuel got the boot, and they brought on Dean.

  • Bernie Sanders is one of the few democrats with a spinal column.

  • getting rahm emanuel out of office is non-negotiable

  • Is Rahm the new Terry McAuliffe? Ugh! A Republican in Dem clothing.

    Poor Obama. He needs the insurance companies more than they need him. Boo hoo.

  • SAY IT LOUD FOR THE PEOPLE CENK!!!!I got my fist in the air down here in NC buddy, keep it up! Why do conservatives think that people take them seriously as Christians when they don't follow the teaching of Jesus Christ? Its stupid, ignorant, and hypocritacal. If they keep it up they will go the way of the dinosaur....WAKE UP!!!

  • wow this video has brought out all sorts of political freaks.....conservative losers....anti govt illuminati psychos ....progressive whiners who are willing to give up immediately.....progressive chicken little's....everyone just needs to calm the fuck down.....the game is not over !....hell it's not even halftime

  • Wait, so this becomes the key issue because Obama dropped the ball on the economy and the war?

  • wtf... if the public option doesnt pass im not voting in 4 years. were in the process of getting change that is not enough. were getting enough change for obama to be able to brag about. thats not what we all voted for.

  • Rahm Emanuel is smart as hell, you guys do realize that he using reverse psychology to amp up the public to want public option healthcare even more. Check Rahm education resume and you'll see.

  • RealTip....EXACTLY...it's a classic political good cop bad cop....why would he choose the worst possible plan and pretend that is what they want....it's so obama can come out and be the good guy and promote the public plan and make the opposition look foolish...rahm has nothing politically to lose by playing the bad guy...and it weakens the other sides fighting power...rahm is 100% political....just look at how he masterminded the rush limbaugh drama....that was all him, this is yet another plan

  • Exactly!!!! The plan seem to be working well too because it getting everybody wild up to talk about public option. Smart move Rahm, Smart move!!

  • Rahm Emanuel is dead wrong and a over-whelming American public want the Public Healthcare Plan. Emanuel should be FIRED immediately by Obama and replaced with someone who is more in tuned to the American people.

  • or a 3rd option:

    "Hey Rahm, run this up the flag pole to test our base" This would test the level of outrage and political fallout. There was an appropriate outcry from the base and the same day the boss comes out with a mollifying statement.

    1. either they did this to test where they would stand with their base in 3 years or

    2. they did this to send a message to other politicians who are standing on the wrong side of this issue.

  • If Obama fails to get the "public option" for health care he can change his name to "lame duck" Obama. He was elected based on the faith that he actually would and could make a change.

  • Yeah well now you know that all you did was swallow all his lies, Chump.

  • al,

    I said "If Obama fails" to get the "public option"

    He hasn't failed yet, chump.

  • He's going to, Moron

  • It's ONNNNN!

  • Umm, Obama mother is an American that makes him legally a natural born American, no matter where he was born. But at least he has a birth certificate from Hawaii. McCain was born in Panama but you don't question his citizenship, why? because he doesn't have dark skin and a funny name, racist.

  • trust me i'm no racist you can ask my korean wife you fucking dolt. they are not americans. you are mind controlled. have a nice trip.

  • Koreans are the most racist pieces of shit there is....plus their breath stinks cuz they eat some stinky ass shit...you know its true!

  • she's korean-american you idiot.

  • Emanuel I don't know much about. Obama is definately a natural born citizen not only because he was born in America but his mother is also natural born American citizen. So he could have been born anywhere in the world (i.e. like McCain being born in Panama) and he would still be a natural born citizen. You may or may not be a racist but Obama is as American as apple pie. Find a good reason not to like Obama. Saying he's unamerican is a stupid arguement. Also he's not a commie.

  • i suggest you look into it. research what you just said.

  • Did you get her via USPS?

  • well, she is your mother.

  • another repug donkey punched by hannity, beck and limbaugh

  • No Public Option? = I'm voting for Republicans in 2012.

    There is a limit to the bullshit I can take from Democrats.

  • Because you'll get it from the Republicans?

  • I see you enjoy cutting off your nose to spite your face...

    If you want to do something like that, vote for a third party...

  • why dont you just vote for jesse ventura a independant?

  • Don't go quickly running to the other side... why don't you let things play out a little bit more before you tuck your tail and hide

  • democrats??? lol the only reason that the public option is in danger is thanks to republicans. ur going the wrong way.

  • Rahm is "Class biased". He's got passionate allegiance to monied interests. He's there to double shuffle and stack the decks.

  • If things get much worse the "health care system" is going to be be extracting bullets for free from the coming war. The thing is; sick and injured people are "easy victims" for the greater medical power structure (including lawyers and judges).

  • I'm all for the trigger if they pull back the time table to today. Let's trigger it next week.

  • i think they big business is in too much control, we gotta get rid of them

  • Mr. Obama and the democrats are cowards.

  • Unfortunately our current choice is cowards(dems) or assholes(gop). They both will spend all your money and just have different ways of trying to restrict your freedom. Oh for a fiscally responsible party that represented small govt and personal freedom. No money in that though.

  • We already had a weak-assed compromise in the 2nd stimulus package.

    For me, this is more about who controls the real power behind the White House and the government and despite what we'd like to think - it's not us, folks. It's the Masters of the Universe (call 'em NWO, illuminati, or whatever if so inclined) but I like to call Big Business.

    They don't wish to have this option on the table and are spending crazy money to see that it doesn't make it. How they spent it? We'll shall see.

  • The USA is quickly coming to violent end.

  • i hope so i like that whole end world situation

  • The world power structure will collapse in a violent, French Revolution like, epic battle. There will be a new world order but not one like the Illuminati envision. We are heading for very good times but the road to there is very bumpy. Don't be afraid or any other negative emotion. Just be glad the poison is coming to an end. Peace and love.

  • im not afraid inm excited

  • obama needs balls of steel. why does he have to be such a pussy democrat.

  • Obama knows that the Clintons burned ALL their political capital on healthcare. Hopefully, Obama wants to play it smart and not show his hand.

  • The choices I see being presented are:

    GOP-do nothing

    Dems- increase costs dramatically

    In the US we spend twice as much as the next industrialized nation oh health care. We are 37th in quality. We should be able to make health care cheaper and better. Why is this not even a talking point. Both parties are playing the public for fools. If is smells, feels and tastes like dog shit, it's not, it's a bill that can pass congress.

  • haha... well they wouldnt smell or taste it, because they don't read any of the stuff they pass

  • hmm you mean the repug didnt have a deficit??really???

  • Sorry, you must be living on a higher plane than I. What is a repug? Really!

  • sorry, I think repugnant=republican

  • Rahm Emanuel has to go....this asshole is a zionist socialist piece of shit

  • I agree he is an asshole. This description is accurate for 95% of Washington. What does Zionist have to do with it.

  • do some research into this clown's background

  • or what socialism has to do with this

  • Barack hussuein has a hard name to spell =(

  • And to write apparently.

    its Barack Hussein

  • I'm done with Obama if he really wants to negotiate on this. My friend is in pain, man.

  • The only way to lower cost is to create a public option.
