We're not backing down on health care

[unelmitchell]

Koolaidboy099, you sound like a baby with all that fucking crying. i am reading your comments and you are obviosly biased and every intention of distorting the facts to suppot your childish views. what a bitch !!! sorry i mean a rightwing bitch !!!

[wookieimp99]

You want cheaper health care, remove tort law to bring down malpractice costs, lower malpractice costs = less expensive visits, and there's the only real solution.

[TheArmy19D]

There is a pretty easy way to get healthcare in America. Get a job.

[briancharles]

that is SO over simplified. tired of that sort of ignorant comment. im gainfully self employed. yet at these current costs, i can't afford my own Health Care. it just keeps going UP! No one is asking for FREE Health Care. Ppl just want meaningful Care at affrdable costs. Your comment is sloppy and thoughtless. guessing your military, which, if there ever was an institution similarly aligned to socialism in this country, its working for the gov't... & why should employers be saddled health care?

[TheArmy19D]

I think the key word in your statement is self employed. Why is my comment thoughtless? Because I don't want to turn the system upside down to accommodate your bad choices and lack of planning?

[thug4life1979]

By self employed Im pretty sure he means Unemployed. You are probably some old fuck who smokes cigarettes and drinks yet complains he has to pay for his shitty health. It isnt about socialism as you say, its about people taking responsibility instead of asking for free handouts. Get a real job you fucking bum.

[briancharles]

@ army19D, health care as it is, is broken, and unsustainable. you'll find that a system driven solely by unregulated free market capitalism like ours will implode like the current sitch in the financial markets....compliments of big biz. our real efforts are to make improvements on the existing, not to pretend this shit isn't broke. insurance, big banks, oil, big pharm...all reign in record profits quarter after quarter.... and agian, payin my own way, wife, 6year old, house, and shop.

[thug4life1979]

Well if you cant pay for your wife and 6 year old maybe they should die. Plan ahead next time dipshit. I hope your kid dies to teach you a lesson. Loser

[TheArmy19D]

thats a little harsh, but good point

[hilldominator27]

hahahah. wow.

[thug4life1979]

But we want everything for free without working for it! I dont want to work for ANYTHING. Let the people WITH jobs pay for us lazy fucks that dont want to life a finger!

[charms71]

great as US is, healthcare isn't free? Plus kids graduate college with serious debt...something isn't right

[zyodei]

The oldest trick in the book to increase power is to create a problem, and then propose a solution for it.

Government, in collusion with medical corporations, CREATED the current health care fiasco with policies that have given the AMA and big pharma enforced monopolies. It is VERY HARD for a small player to enter the market and try to undercut the costs for medical services - so they rise, and rise, especially with the massive subsidation they already receive.

This is the root cause.

[zyodei]

The problem is that the Democrats are basically economically ignorant, and the Republicans are a bunch of corporate-government fascists (actually, both parties are, but the Repubs more). So, the debate is limited to Republican idiots saying wrongly "our system is the best!" and Democratic idiots saying "Governmnet needs to take full control!"

If we had an actual free market, two stitches wouldn't bankrupt you, because someone else would open a competing, cheap clinic. But we havent for 30 yrs.

[jayone451]

@zyodei Well said...this new health care bill will give the cold shoulder to generic drugs wich in return will just create more profit for big drug companies!! I

[unelmitchell]

i am a indenpendent & i prays the liberal's efforts in fighting for americans. but i am very disappointed with the Teabaggers & Republicans.they don't know how damaging there unpatriotic Nazi rallies r to this country.those vampires don't have any type of a heart. But they would perfer to see these big corporate CEO make Record profits.that isn't going to benefit them or there families.they have to just get there heads out of there ass & stop listening to conservative media its telling them lies

[koolaidman099]

get your head out of your ass and quit listening to the liberal media telling you that the conservative media is telling lies...not only that, my ancestors died because of Nazi's, so its really insulting when people say that im one because of my polical beliefs, and for your information if your going to say that about anyone, say it about the liberals for wanting more government control...you know hitler started out the exact same way Obama did, he said propaganda that everyone believed...

[unelmitchell]

these morons that watch fox news and believe that they are doing the right thing lining the pockets of billionaires are simple "IGNORANT !!!" THEY turn their heads when facts are brought to the table and claim to be patriotic & christians the health insurance indeustrayis like a cancer in our system. the only way to stop the systoms ,is to remve it and keep it from ever coming back. also from you comment i can see that you are blind about the fact about how rightwing medias lie everytime.

[unelmitchell]

industry

[koolaidman099]

i watch both, and most of time i dont believe either one of them....i think fox news makes over the top claims about the liberals, and not enough about the GOP, i think all liberal media makes over the top claims about the GOP and not enough about the liberals...and i can see that you blind to the fact that obama lies like every other president has lied to us, and if obama wants to make our country one partied, thats socialism

[briancharles]

cant recal when/what last thing GOP did for the little guy..Fox & conserv talk radio = propaganda. That "news" was born from $ to help get conserv mssg out. Fox would regularly get talking points from Cheney/Bush Admin to help guide the politcal discussion. Sick of hearing that if it's not Fox its endlessly liberal. accept seriously the duty & obligation to be well informed, from a variety of news sources. Partisanship = shit. We're sunk if we cant come together and build a more perfect union.

[koolaidman099]

whats coming together in your book? listing to everything the democratic party says?

[briancharles]

Ppl seem to think everyone is this or that, that or the other. ppl are more complicated than that. I've never been a Dem. started voting in the '88 election cycle as independent. of course at that time everyone told ya you were throwing your vote away....MO = Most good for the largest # of ppl. Logic over dogma. again, partisanship = shit.

[koolaidman099]

but if thats not you solution, i do believe we need to come together...and im not a republican, im very much independant...and i do believe we need healthcare reform, just not what Obama is proposing...I know its hard for out country to come together if the GOP is saying no to everything, but at the same time its hard to come together when they make suggestions that arent being heard and when Obama is having many closed door meetings without putting anything on CSPAN like he promised

[briancharles]

Dude, the Senate Bill was modified by the Republicans over and over and OVER...then they say you never listen to us... then not a single vote from one of 'em... and yes the filibuster problem ~Tyranny by the Minority..hope they'll modify that in the near future...and hey Obama hasn't proposed jack during this whole congressional conversation..he's staying out of congress' way apparently..many progressives charge him with a lack of leadership here..

[betterpresident09]

WE MUST GET INVOLVED!! Attend as many of these rallies as possible. Organize in your area and let's help the President keep his promise. MAKE HIM DO IT!!

[sassMay]

Awesome!!
