Tim Walz pro-Obama Care Town Hall Meeting August 20, 2009

[joeymiller35]

It is time to elect Randy Demmer for Congress.

[WaltzingWithWalz]

Actually, if you look at Paul Ryan's (R) plan (yes, there were *numerous* republican plans put forth which Pelosi/Reid/Obama ignored) it is far superior to this massive waste that will need to be repealed.

Also, don't forget there was bipartisan opposition to Obamacare-- which was forced through the house of representatives this past weekend (a good number of democrats voted against it...unfortunately not enough).

Thanks for the comment.

[PerseusPrince]

Does Tim look more like Elmer Fudd or Barney Rubble up there trying to explain this thing?

Can't make up my mind ...

He's in a real fix here ...

If he votes against the liberal wing of his party, they'll drop him like a sack of potatoes -- and he's too politically small to make it without national support.

But, if he votes for this healthcare deal, his constituents will boot him out -- Rochester doesn't need Tim and Nancy Pelosi to tell them what good healthcare looks like.

AMEN!

[JohnGaltSpeaking1981]

Good point

[JohnGaltSpeaking1981]

Brian Davis 2010? LOL

Tim Walz is lying when he says that if we open insurance across state lines that it wouldn't drive down costs. 

I wish some one would've asked him about the congressional health plan....If it's so great, would he be willing to stick his neck out on the line and use it instead of the congressional plan? Thats the BIG question that should be asked to any congressman / senator. Why should these elitists get better treatment than those they are supposed to represent???

[neokevin3]

Notice the lame democrat saying that they (the dems) did a study showing that an insurance company will charge you more if they were allowed to compete across state lines. Funny, all these other companies do it and drive down costs but if an insurance company is allowed to compete then it will cost more, unless its the dem government option then magically it will be cheaper. BULL SHIT. You idiots that vote for democrats need to wake up.

[JohnGaltSpeaking1981]

good point!

[CORPARANOID]

Interesting feedback, the bill is built 4corporations 2reduce their cost 2Health Care//not our end.. We need 2really spend time on the BILL &put all kinds of WIN/WINs into it 4thepeople. Good Ideas come from us: Free EDUC 4new Doctors who commit 4 yrs. tilth to work Free or Low-Cost Clinics/Hospitals in their Lifetime. Whatever plan we pass, Congress must be on it.

Hi StudentFightn4theUSA - if you live near Rochester come to our rally at Walz's office at noon this Friday (Aug 28)

[StudentFightn4theUSA]

I actually don't live near Rochester and I'll away this weekend, but thanks anyway for the invite! I'd love to come see how it turns out! If you get a chance, post something on here afterwards and let me know how it went! :)

[JohnGaltSpeaking1981]

I'll be there!! Strongly recommend everyone that has concerns over what this "public" option will bring should also come and voice their opinion!!

[MrPisster]

hahaha they left their giblets in a jar back a the ranch.

[StudentFightn4theUSA]

*anything

[StudentFightn4theUSA]

I'm the girl who asked the question- I love how he answered my question about misinformation...I asked if he could say with all certainty whether or not my claims from the bill contained misinformation...and he said..."I can't say anyting with certainty" or something to that effect.....for crying out loud. In other words, he hasn't really read the whole bill. By the way, for more info as to what I was talking about; see sections 122, 313, and 401 of HR3200 regarding keeping the coverage we like.

[WaltzingWithWalz]

It's tough to know in cyber-world if someone is who they say they are. That being said, the lady on this video I posted handled herself quite well.

[StudentFightn4theUSA]

Totally understandable about the cyber-world. And thanks for the compliment! It was my hope and prayer that I'd be able to keep my calm and say what I came to say. I've spent the better part of my summer studying this bill, and I just want to bring this to people's attention. Thanks for posting this video and helping me do just that! God Bless! :)

[kintar90]

Ahahaha! As terrible as it is, it was satisfying to watch the mod dodge the question because he had no good answer. Then Walz pussy-foots the question and dances around it. This bill is garbage. We are a nation of brilliant ideas. There is a free market/small govt solution to health care. Remember, these "representatives' are supposed to LISTEN to The People and see what they want, not try to force us to go along with what they want.

[cmstyz]

Yeah, right...

She'll get answers to her question after they pass a bill and find out the Government has solidified their ability to force people into their system of "reform"

What a crock.

There are so many sensible plans and ideas being discussed that would actually reform health care and make it accessible, but those ideas are being ignored.

Vote NO on this Tim - I voted for you and I want you to represent me.

(thanks for posting this video)

People who have a different opinion than Obama are not Nazi's as Pelosi and Obama paint them to be...as this video shows!
