Debating the Public Option

[prayfortruejustice]

One term Congress gets free healthcare and pensions for life.

Here is an idea whose time has come.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to each of the U.S. Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the personal benefit of Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to each of the citizens of the United States. "

Now, that they no longer have a super-majority, it is time for the dumocrats to go back to the drawing board and create a real health care reform package.

I would LOVE to see what the Republicans would say if/when the anti-trust bill reaches the congresss for debate. My bet is that the same congressmen who are against health care reform will be agianst this legislation because of their ties to the insurance indusrty.

I do not see how buying insurance across state lines would be beneficial, the insurance cartel would just collude and raise premiums to a regional or national level. The answer is more competition from more insurance providers.

That's comedy gold. An obamabot telling a republican to check into a mental health institution. Too bad the DSM doesn't consider it pathological to prefer slavery to freedom. And living vicariously through a flashy but completely incompetent jackass. Weeding you ignorant twits out of society would be the greatest thing that ever happened to this country.

HR 676! Single-Payer!

Oh, and Rep. Bachmann? I suggest you line up first for some mental health screenings.

Goverment option is a bad idea! Sorry I don't trust either party running heathcare! Higher costs, lower quality and less avalible does not sound like a deal to me.

[mark1m]

the government option would actually give americans free healthcare and docors would be able to pay americans for hospital visits. It would end world hunger and create world peace.

See i can makeup stuff too john51880. The only reason the stuff you said might be true, was if you have an annual salary of 1 million+ dollars. For almost everyone else... its cheaper, higher quality, and more availability.

[john51880]

No the Goverment option is a bad deal for every one. You can not ad burocracy and regulation and increase the service load then claim it will lower the cost. NO WAY! Much less increase quality or availibity. Their is never going to be free healthcare. The dept will be spread through taxes but the cost will rise. You can ignore true if you like. I have no intrest in this. do not work in any way in healthcare. I am not rich. This is just one more area goverment should not be!

[etbitmydogucf]

Haha. What a joke. "Call for them". Of course Bachmen would never take the lead on anything. She's just full of BS and rhetoric. If she were to actually be a leader she would stand up and help to enforce those laws and we wouldn't be in this situation of getting a public option that will put us into 250Billion in additional debt over the next 10 years.

[GreginND]

Wow, she totally budged in and stole that last question away from the other panelist.

A True Conservative. Palin Bachmann 2012

[jim2hal]

[hawgwallah]

Michele Bachmann is brave, brilliant, beautiful...and hot! She is a great leader, a true patriot.

[3RDIDGUY1]

Rock on Michelle.

That's right it's for profits. People will do a damn good job for something they know they will profit from. When people you, the leeches of society, know you can just sponge off of "everyone" you value nothing. And if you dont value people's health then why are you even commenting

[TribulationWarrior]

Give what for, Michele

[Auggie56]

Keep up the good fight Michelle.
