U.S. Rep. Parker Griffith talks about healthcare reform/Part 3

[john51880]

Parker switching partys to become a republican is great! I wounder how meny other democrats are poling and considering jumping off the sinking ship!

[STEEEVVYZ]

Critics say the public option is really a Trojan Horse for a government takeover of all of health insurance. But nothing could be further from the truth. It's an option. No one has to choose it. Individuals and families will merely be invited to compare costs and outcomes. Presumably they will choose the public plan only if it offers them and their families the best deal -- more and better healthcare for less

[dwigg1975]

Wait 5 -10 years it will be a government mandated program. This bill just paves the way. Its just like SSecurity. It was an option and now mandated.

Why would I pay private insurance if I already have to pay for a federal plan?

[drsdannyt]

Here is the underlying point we the opposition are trying to make. We don't trust Obama, Pelosi, or any of thier puppets. Once these socialists gain control, they can regulate the entire private sector out. STEEEVVYZ, we are not so naive as to believe your party line nonsense. You will never understand as long as you keep drinking the Kool-Aid

[zeezrom]

Many of these leaders have no clue what our Constitution requires of them nor what to do about it - nor do they have the courage to do what it takes if they did have a clue - and they continue to take the path of destruction for us. Encourage Principled people to take office; those who will stand and deliver; pick out leaders among our groups who choose PRINCIPALS over PARTY and encourage them to take office; at all levels of government. Principals over Party; People over Party. NO MORE SPENDING

[STEEEVVYZ]

PUBLIC OPTION !is the best but if you dont like it just buy something else.. there will always be private companys to go to...this is only for the uninsured and those who want it...I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THIS WILL LIMIT CHOICE? RIGHT NOW 47 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE NO CHOICE THEY HAVE NO HEALTHCARE AND YOU ARE PAYING THEIR WAY ALREADY!! AT LEAST WITH PUBLIC OPTION WE CAN PREVENT THESE PEOPLE FROM ENDING UP IN E.R. ..SUPPORT THE PUBLIC OPTION!!EITHER WAY WE WILL PAY WHY NOT GET BEST DEAL??

[STEEEVVYZ]

we also elected obama BECAUSE WE WANTED HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!!!HE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE ELECTED HIM TO DO,,, THINK ABOUT IT HE RAN ON THIS HEALTHCARE FOR ALL PLATFORM,,AMERICA VOTED HIM IN THE LARGEST MANDATE IN 30 YEARS,,AMERICA WANTS THIS ,,,WE VOTED FOR IT,,THOSE THAT OPPOSE IT REPRESENT A FRINGE MINORITY VIEW,,,,

[thomas242007]

I just hope everyone who voted for obama is happy with what they got, i am not for mccain either just to set the record straight we had no good candidates this time around, By the way i Didnt vote for him thank goodness

[STEEEVVYZ]

thats my point!!THANK YOU FOR PROVING IT FOR ME!! those who are against this are disgruntled gop who are still sore about LOSING THE ELECTION ,,,BUT THEY FAIL TO SEE THE REASON THEY LOST, WE ARE HAPPY WE VOTED THE WAY WE DID,,,GOD BLESS BARAK OBAMA

[50calsyndicate]

obama has not done what he promised. he promised transparency. transparency is not rushing bills to be urgently passed without giving congressmen adequate time to read these bills and then going on vacation before he signs it. the climate bill was not even allowed to be read, and it is definitely not transparent to use these bills to strip us of our constitutional rights and further the destruction of this country. the printing of money for these bills is only worsening our economy.

[50calsyndicate]

ron paul was a great candidate

[thomas242007]

I would have voted for ron paul he was about the only qualified candidate in my opionion, still a politician though remeber that i liked most of his ideas but they never gave a 3rd party i dont think im even going to vote next time politicians suck

[drsdannyt]

Are you on Crack STEEEVYZ? You must get your political news from Saturday Night Live, or MSNBC. Madison County did not elect the obamanation. His administration has systemattically violated the constitution and the Bill of Rights. With the tracking of email for political purposes, the threatening of private sector companies, the infringement on State rights. Dude, if you want socialism, move to Venezuela.
