  • I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of CBS News' Face The Nation With Bob Schieffer's Report On Howard Dean Calls Health Reform Criticism "Despicable, Awful" On Sunday Morning, August 23, 2009.

  • YAARRRGH! what a clown

  • Somebody pull the plug on Howard Dean.PLEASE.

  • I heard from Barney Frank on television that those who dont buy "The Government Option" will be penalized and if the fines arent paid then you go to jail. This reminds me of the nazi party.

  • Might as well say being American "Despicable, Awful!" because that's what the government wants when Bush was in office and you didn't like what he did it meant you were a terrorist now that Obama is in and you have a different opinion your racist... two sides of the same coin more government take over, more media propaganda.

  • That's BS. Bush was a horrible president elected under controversial circumstances who proceeded to govern hard-right despite his narrow victory.

    Now we have a Democratic president elected by a large majority seeking consensus and carefully trying to roll back his predecessor's policies and he is painted on the one side as some kind of radical socialist, and on the other as a clone of Bush.

    BTW I'm shocked you heard any calls of "racism" over the deafening cries of "reverse racism"

  • umm because he IS a clone of Bush he's just a FAR better conartist then him. Has he gotten rid of the Patriot Act? No. Are we going to be out of Iraq within 18 months of him becoming president? No. Did he follow through with not having lobbyist's in his cabinet? No. I could go on for hours but it would be a waste of time since your probably one of those sheep who believes whatever the president or media say's blindly off a cliff.

  • I'm not a "sheep," but I give him the benefit of the doubt because I know what he's up against.

    I didn't become a conspiracy theorist just because a Democrat is in office. I was actually paying under Bush, including his intention to tie the next presidents hands on the wars. I'm not foolish enough to think it's all going to change overnight, campaign promises or not.

    Remember Bush achieved nearly everything he promised, and look how that turned out. At LEAST Barak is saying the right things.

  • Coward Dean is such a mutt

  • Dean is just another liberal Hack!

  • Howie Dean is quite the wordy person. Can he NOT find a period to a sentence? Talk about droning on and on and on.......

  • your right Mr. Dean we do want healthcare reform but how bout you fix the problems in the current system we have and leave the rest of us alone we don't need your progessivism big government nanny state that you would like to slowly create in this country. What ever happened to the constitution or individual freedom to make your own decisions without the government trying to make them all for you?? Don't the people in this country have a voice anymore or it is all lobbyists in d.c.??

  • I'm trying to understand how 5 year olds think. They create a cash for clunkers program, they can't handle all of the claims and it's a nightmare for dealers to get their money, yet these same people will be able to handle millions of claims at hospitals? I don't understand the rationale that liberals have. If any group of people has waste it's the government and they have more middle men than anybody. More people stuff their pockets in government then anywhere, and you think they care?

  • It wont be government agencies working these claims, it will be corporations with government contracts. This whole thing is not about expanding the government its about putting money into a different set of people's pockets.

  • ALERT:

    Many comments are being submitted by folks getting paid from an add on CRAIGS List. ACORN and SEIU have recruited posters as well READER BEWARE! The DEMS are desperate having to pay posters!

  • I love how people are hating and advocating against the people and entities that were helping them in life.

    Some say they want to limit government help for others but they've been receiving theirs all theirs life.

    Single mom and child will receive child credit during tax returns, will be eligible for Medicaid, eligible for Food stamps, and will receive Education. I am not sure if Daeclipse used any of this but he cant deny education and tax return credits.

    Now he wants to deny others benefits

  • How much graft did this scumbag Grassley take in from the health insurance lobby?

  • ahahha ...u r so fucking sad. your a 48 year old man that still says your momma jokes...HAHAHAH u dont get any more pathetic then that. and really the only never u hit was the one were stupid fucks like u get to talks about bull shit issues.

    man how about u go play with your inch and a half penis u sorry fuck....HAHAHAHA jesus christ u r such a sorry piece of shit

  • wow u had to delete my comment cuz it fucking sense and showed u for the idiot u r... and my mother bring a whore and a single mom r both issues that r not true to my life. in fact i live with my fucking dad u morn shows how well of a judge of charter u r. and im guessing u got fucking in your 12 year old ass by your dad that would explain why u r so mad. how but u get over it grow a brain and then marry a hooker maybe then some one will except your stupid fucking ass

  • no it doesn't

  • is that lib. in a wind tunnel. "I think the American people is much smarter" What a dope. This is why Fox is number 1.

  • wow great argument. just shows u how much sense idiotic republic fucks have... none but a they do like to say a whole lot of nothing.

    go fuck your self u stupid fucking bitch

  • o noes, us idiots can read! Your own quote points out how the the decisions will be made about how to _plan_, not about how you will actually die.

  • uh oh everyone, a republican found teh youtube. Run!!!

  • Oh God, Dean Americans don't deserve that much credit! You know most of them are morons who'll believe anything! That's what living in such a religious nation produces, gullible imbeciles! We're a joke and I want out! As soon as I can afford to and I get permission from either Canada or some wonderful, socialist European nation, I'm getting the fuck out! I'm sick of rednecks speaking their illogical minds and keeping this once-great nation behind all other Western nations!

  • We must get rid of Big Pharma & Health care Companies. Public Plan, Yes

    National health spending is expected to reach $2.5 trillion in 2009, accounting for 17.6 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). By 2018, national health care expenditures are expected to reach $4.4 trillion—more than double 2007 spending.1

    1. Siska, A, et al, Health Spending Projections Through 2018: Recession Effects Add Uncertainty to The Outlook Health Affairs, March/April 2009; 28(2): w346-w357.

  • Low reimbursement rates for Medicare and Medicaid have increased cost-shifting pressures on hospitals and doctors, who charge higher rates for the same services to private payers, which eventually affects health insurance rates.[72]

    Government programs failure to reimburse is causing insurance rates to increase in this country in case you didn't get it!!

  • How come you don't mention the difference in administrative costs in Medicare (3%) and HMO (31- 40% depending on the company)?

    Why are you not focusing on 2008 United Health Care profits of 18 BILLION dollars daeclipse?

    Do you know how many people we could insure for that amount?

    You also try to pedal the notion that illigals will get to participate in this. Affortable individual credit will be given only to citizens and lawful residents. Section 243 is very clear about that.

  • If this "death panels" was just rumored BS why did the senate finance committee remove that language from their draft of the bill?

    Come one people just be honest with each other

  • Please tell me you're not really dumb enough to actually believe that any form of any health care bill contained anything resembling the insane-o right winger "death panel" idea.

  • clown

  • I guess this channel should be changed to the Obama Socialist Youtube channel by the looks of things.. Wake up in case anyone hasn't been paying attention more than half this country doesn't want your government run healthcare as we have seen your track records of other bankrupt government programs.. Quit trying to shove this down our throats take a deep breathe assses the situation and come up with a better plan everyone can agree on.

  • So that poll suggesting that 77% of Americans want a government public option is wrong?

    So all the people who voted Obama in partially because he promised health care reform really didn't care about health care reform?

    I think you might be one of the people who thinks Fox noozs is fair and balanced.

  • 77% ROFL what fucking poll is that?? The liberalmediapoll?? Yeah we do need healthcare reform but not the reform hes offering us. The best way to fix healthcare is for people to get off their fat asses and take care of themselves because that is the biggest contributing factor to higher healthcare costs is obesity.. You really think the federal government can somehow solve that without controlling your lives or rationing?? well I'd say based on their number 2 ratings I'm not the only one either.

  • Public Option Save a Trillion per year

    According to the Economist the total US spending on health care is 17.6% of GDP or 2.2 Trillion dollars. With that we get 2.6 doctors & 3.3 hospital beds per 1,000 people, and we live to an avg. age of 78.2 As a whole Europe spends 9.6% of GDP on health care, has 3.9 doctors & 6.6 hospital beds per 1,000 people and live until they are 81.15 old. If we would just model the European health plan we would save 1 Trillion Dollars a year. Thats 1 Trillion!!!

  • Stop being selfish & realize there are millions of people in this country who NEED the government to survive! You as a compassionate person should willingly give up some of your income to make sure everyone is taken care of! Thousands of refugees come to this country & only are allowed to stay on gov. assistance for a few months & then they're left to fend for themselves. How can these people pay rent much less see a doctor? Taxes & socialist programs ensure everyone basic needs are met.

  • There are a lot of very hard working people in the USA. Their intelligence and work ethic combined with their fortune of being born into a relatively stable home has granted them, and the United States, a vital source of income. These people all pay substantial taxes which go to support non-working immigrants and other non-productive individuals. However the fact still remains that the hardest working people are constantly scolded and robbed. Yes I am mad, but don't worry - I will still feed you

  • I'll feed you my shit. I'm not receiving aid from the government 'cause I don't qualify so shut your hole; you assume too much! Not everyone is born into stable families that teach them the importance of an education or pass onto them a strong work ethic. Study after study show people born into chaotic, dysfunctional homes more often than not grow up to be non-productive and have emotional issues of their own that hold them back in life. Those people need gov. assistance to survive!

  • those people should just shoot themselves because they are a waste of time and money and a disease for the rest of the world.. You can make no excuses for doing nothing with your life.. Grow up quit crying like a bitch and go get educated.

  • No you should kill yourself for thinking only about yourself and being a heartless asshole who has no shame saying things like poor people or immigrants should kill themselves. You're a waste of sperm and your mom should have aborted you, you vile, evil, cold son of a bitch!

  • hey I grew up with nothing and raised by a single mom who was never around but you know at the end of the day I worked my ass off since I was 15 graduated high school, educated myself and found a decent job and worked lots of OT to get everything that I've gotten in my life. Its about time you took some responsibility for your own life empower yourself just a little buit quit feeling sorry and take the high road because you have the power to shape your own life not the government grow up

  • One word: pre-existing conditions.

  • Your profile says you are 26 years old. For someone working lots and lots of OT as you say, its funny how you post every hour or so on youtube. Something here is little weird to me.

    Also I wonder how you and your single mom lived before. I am sure that single mom with kid gets bigger tax breaks and refunds. I would be not surprised if she used simple help provided to citizens as foodstamps etc.

    I am sure govt provided you with education as mom didn't have money.

    So why r u bitching on govt???

  • lmao last time I checked pal everyone got an education thats not a welfare program in case you didn't know.. and whatever momey my mother might have gotten I never saw I had to work for everything I've gotten in my life.. Yeah I did work alot of OT as a steelworker but like alot of other people in this country I too am unemployed so what. So are you asking me if she received public assistance which she did not because my family has worked for the state all their lives or are you just ignorant??

  • Grassley is trying to get out of what he said. I guess we should get used to it as they are gonna have to back away from their lies sooner or later. The truth will come out and they will have lots of explaining to do.

    If you are still confused about the health care bill you may find the information on my profile in the comment section helpful. Also included are ways in which you can get more involved including phone #'s, petitions etc..

  • As usual, Dean is 100% right.

  • Public Option Save a Trill

    According to the Economist the total US spend on health care is 15.4% of GDP including both state and private. With that it gets 2.6 doctors per 1,000 people, 3.3 hospital beds and its people live to an average age of 78.2. As a whole Europe spends 9.6% of GDP on health care, has 3.9 doctors per 1,000 people, 6.6 hospital beds and live until they are 81.15 years old. If we would model the European health plan we would save 1 Trillion Dollars a year. 1 Trillion !!!

  • bullshit. go read the CBO estimate its going to cost more.. You thinking insuring 50 million Americans and illegal citizens is going to be free?? Get your head out of your ass this country is 12trillion in debt how do we pay for this?? You want to save money on healthcare we need to change our lifestyles.. thats where all of the increased costs come from.. Obesity, Smoking, etc. etc. we change the way we live we become healthier period!!! We need to fix the system we have

  • dai, you have no clue what you're talking about.

    Once you've said that the bill includes insuring illegal immigrants you've let everyone know you're full of shite.

  • seeing as your from San Fran. I can understand you arguing about this bill. Thats got to be the biggest liberal city in the country.. The same place where they held pro Hamas terrorist ralliest against Israel lol..

  • rofl

    pookie, as soon as you go the SF = bad, bad liberals route

    you're estimated IQ drops by about 20 points

    you'd be amazed at how many Repubs and social conservative inhabit the area

    but your lack of that simple understanding suggest you might actually believe that Fox nooze is fair and balanced

    how sad for you

  • As far as I understand there may not be anything written in the bill about illegals. But the fact remains they (illegals) are still treated in our emergency rooms and facilities and when they don't pay the govt doesn't reimburse. So the hospitals have to absorb the cost and they pass that on to us in higher cost. Can't blame the hospitals if they don't make money they close. Either make the illegals citizens or kick them out. If they want to work thats ok but tax them as we are taxed.

  • Don't worry. They will be.

  • WRONG

  • Radical Democrats need to be votedout of office.

  • Radical democrats AND Radical Republicans need to be voted out of office.

  • I have always hate Howard Dean and these comments just solidify my opinion of him. He's got a lot of hate in his heart, like most far left (and right) folks.

  • oh stop whining, take yer meds, and go back to bed

  • I would have preferred Dean as president. He may have gotten overly excited, but he was good for the job. Imagine the chain of events that would be different up until the present.

  • I have a question....

    So if we consolidate health care insurance and services into a single government entity and for whatever reason, example bankruptcy/etc., that entity fails.... what other entity will pick up the slack until or even if the government health care entity recovers??? (As much as the health care companies are being railroaded by the government... trusting that they will help or even exists is unlikely.)

  • In Howard Dean statement: "... but I think the American people is much smarter, uh, than the politicians in..."

    We ARE much smarter than we are given credit for.

  • LMAO No you're not!

  • Obamas President Approval Index -14.

  • Subtract the racist, bible hugging, conservative voters.

  • The GOP would pull the plug on average people for a couple of bucks if they could. Slaves, workers, serfs, peasents, and everyone unwealthy is beneath those malignant narcissists who use others as objects. THE GOP is an elite financial party that bought off congress, dems and repubs, the exec branch, and the judiciary and they need a certain percentage of god, gays, guns, gov, crowd to even the odds. So they go after the radicals on these issues.

  • The GOP version of the death panel ...

    We can't image that we can all afford it... so if you can't, just die... so the rest of us can.

  • ITS NOT A TAKEOVER! this is the problem...people like you who are happy(nothing changes for you dumbass!! i think its more like you just dont give a crap about your neighbor...what about the 47 million of us who have no access to healthcare?thats who this is for,,,,if you like your health insurance YOU CAN KEEP IT WITH NO CHANGES!!,, WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR YOU TO GET?,YOU ARE JUST SELFISH? AND OR "NOT VERY BRIGHT..THERE IS NO "TAKEOVER" ITS JUST COMPLETE PARANOIA,,,AND SELFISHNESS

  • We have been a nation of incrementalism, meaning small steps towards more gov involvement in our lives. In this instance, it is a giant step; and the argument is that the gov will use its leverage to crowd out the private market, which is a likely scenario, as they have often used their status as the gov to give themself an advantage in the marketplace (see: USPS, Fannie/Freddie)

    Source: "Fannie Med? Why a "Public Option" Is Hazardous to Your Health" - Michael F. Cannon

  • Health care reform is a nice idea. Medical care for everyone at little or no cost. The only problem is.....there is not enough medical staff/facilities available for the tsunami of new patients that will not just use it but abuse it. Mark my words if and/ or when this is passed and those floodgates are opened ppl are going to find out just how under medically staffed this country really is. Put kids in a candy store and tell them it's free, then see what happens.

  • That is exactly what happens in countries with Universal Health Care; rationing. See: QALY, NHS

    For a thorough analysis, see:

    "The Grass Is Not Always Greener: A Look at National Health Care Systems Around the World" Michael D. Tanner

  • This Bill is dead and every rational non-socialist in America wants this bill dead.

    Because we all know the only health reform will be the kind that forced Insurance companies to be competitive and Washington actually defy lobbyist control. Did you notice the Health Insurance companies are not complaining about HR3200.

    But, after the house returns they will pass it and tell you through thiier media that the American public wanted it because it is best for the country.

  • Same old playbook...attack the messenger(s) and don't debate the message.

  • When he says "KEY" at 0:11 sounds like a nasty mouth fart our somethin.

  • were is that shehand woman are will the news service not care her now that shows us that they try to make news not report it

  • Shehan was protesting the war just last weekend at martha's vinyard where obama was staying. It was covered by the news cuz I saw it on CNN.

  • The media outlets have shifted mode to elevate Obama's status.

    Afghanistan rages on, Iraq had a massive bomb attack killing over 95 people. Remember Bush's term there was not a day without casualties being reported. Code Pink, Cindy Shehan all now hate Obama but can't manage 30 seconds of airtime.

    The media may as well be state run,.

  • Amen. Absolutely no one is reporting on this. Obama is worse than Bush in my eyes, and I had a bit of hope that his foreign policy would be a bit more reasonable than Bush's. It isn't.

  • They both should be put in prison along w/Congress.

  • Bush:Terror Attack (Didn't read the memo), Two Wars($/Death), Torture (illegal), Secret surveillance program hidden from congress, Recession.

    Obama: Giving you healthcare.

    It amazes me that the sperm that created you beat out millions of others....

  • Howard Dean is a just and moral man who earns a meager wage, his heart is for nothing MORE than to satisfy the American people thats he so holds true to his heart and to uphold the constitution which protects us from tyranny and slavery.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOT!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Howard Dean is a rich baby killing goy that happens to not need bribes from Big Insurance like Wellpoint and Aetna and UnitedHealth.

  • Are you saying dean wants us to become slaves? Cuz thats absurd. This healthcare reform does absolutley none of the crazy things that right wingers are alleging. Explain to me how his heart is wrong and he doesnt want to protect us. I think most ppl's hearts are in the right place, on the left and the right. We just disagree how to do the right thing, but most ppl do want to do right.

  • Republican Senators on the talk shows took a big step back from the death panel arguments and scare tactics espoused by the right-wing talk shows. They backpedled really quick.

  • Yeah absolutley cuz they realized it was totally absurd. But last I checked that clown michael steele was still saying that it is somewhat true! How insane is that to have this guy who is supposed to not be some far right talk show host saying ignorant propaganda like that? Jeezus.

  • I agree... any of you fuckin dumbass morons who do not want a government controlled healthcare that helps build the, already overdependent citizens, into a mass nanny state... need to commit mass suicide due to your complete stupidity and waste of life!!!!

  • liar. if we don't achieve healthcare reform it will indeed be mass suicide, as insurance premiums will double in the next few years--and we're not even talking about actual healthcare- just insurance. insurance that can be dropped doubled and denied because you dare to get sick. healthcare has always been rationed by a person's ability to pay in this fabulous sick-for-profit nation. forget about granny being unplugged, she won't be able to afford to be plugged in.

  • Whose dick did you pop out of your mouth long enough to throw that liberal bullshit my way!!! I know that you liberals only chance of legitimacy in the future is to wrap everyone in a security blanket of dependency and hoist them high into the air and dare anyone not to vote more liberals into office.. at the threat of their "life line" being cut!!! You liberals are on the run now that people are standing up... you know you better pull your scare tactics before it is to late!!!

  • Whose dick did you pop out of your mouth>>MSNBCFAN

    your boyfriend's.

    sooooo... look at you! creating a new youtube account just to hide your stupidity in plain sight. go ahead, spam your little winky off, and don't forget to use all the dirty words you know!

  • For a lesbian you talk a lot of shit about someone who would be gay!!!!

    I see you have no actual reply to the subject at hand... I guess you are to busy be a clam licker... also you have shit to say considering MSNBC has the manliest dykes on news today... Keith Oblermann and Rachel Maddow!!!

  • don't believe it. when you need that kidney transplant you might not get it. Ask how many Canadians come here for transplants. Be careful what you wish for. Alright

  • The last election showed that only about 53% of American adults are smart. Hopefully, some of the 46% are recognizing who is trying to pull us up and who is fighting to keep us down.

  • Thank you :)

  • President Obama's strategy for defeating the Taliban and al-Qaida is a work in progress as more U.S. troops are sent there, Mullen said. DRAFT

    Three years ago, the U.S. had about 20,000 forces in the country. Today, it has triple that, 68,000 by year's end when all the extra 17,000 troops that Obama announced in March are to be in place. An additional 4,000 troops are arriving Afghan forces. More civilian workers are going to help rebuild Afghanistan's economy and government.

  • this guy should be the president

  • A significant percentage of the American people is every bit as dumb as politicians think they are.

  • I think the good Doctor Dean here is forgetting that it is the American people that keep electing these moronic politicians who as Dean says are not giving the American people credit for their intelligence. Not that I would advocate for alternate government necessarily, but it is simply one of the great fallacies of democracy when you have an immature society, you will elect immature leaders. Levels of intelligence of the leaders is only a reflection of the people they represent

  • great to see everyone here shooting down rational thought.

    mr. dean was rite on target,accurate. it's one thing to critisize the plan another to instill fear in people esply the elderly.

    but then again the fear card is the only card the gop has had up its sleeve for a very long time now.

    keep it up maybe in15-20 yrs the attitude will change and you people might actualy be getting voted back in and making an effort to govern in a rational,patriotic way that benifits us all,not just yourselves

  • your using words you dont understand again

  • Here's a word I understand, LIBERTY!

  • ahh no you dont. If you did you'ld know this has NOTHING to do with liberty.

    Youve been brainwashed to fight for insurance corporations

  • envy? envy of who? or what?

    And are you reading wht your typing? what are you even talking about.?

    How did AIG get in a health care debate?

    What are you talking about man?

  • You don't know who AIG is or what they do & you go around calling other people ignorant. Typical. Get off your moms' computer & go back to the park. Your boyfriend is looking for you and he wants his fucking money.

  • Shows what you know my boyfirend is in Iraq.

    And this is my computer. he bought it for me as a engagement present.

  • Learned a new word? You should probably learn how to spell "Bolshevik" before you use new words that you learned. So you're for people lying about the healthcare bill in Congress? Idiot.

  • Well, we'll see you on the fielf Vlad.

  • dean is not using the obama "health care insurance reform" phrase so its obvious he's not in the circle

  • ???
