  • Tampa Bay, Have you had enough, did you like the taste of the garbage forced down your throat, yummy huh! Let's get organized and get Ms Castor fired-gone. Especially Apollo beach, South Tampa, West Tampa and TnC let's get it together! Yes we can! Talk about it with your friends don't be scared of the socialists and their facist forced agendas. Talk and organize!

  • what a bicth

  • This limousine liberal from Bayshore Beautiful makes me sick.

  • In America we are free to keep what we earn, (in theory) unlike most countries. We are free to decide for ourselves how we wish to help others. That is the difference. It would be extraordinary for you to understand unless you were born here.

  • What if you loss your job and your Healthcare Insurance at the sometime. Or your healthcare Insurance goes up 40-60% in one year and you cant afford it because you also have a mortgage to pay. God forbid, 6 months later without insurance you are diagnosed with a disease like cancer...

  • @RememberToday4ever and you will put to jail for not having insurance

  • @squeezecity "We are free to decide for ourselves how we wish to help others." And how is that working out for us? Most of the homeless are on the street because they need healthcare. Rehab or Mental Health. Or they work and can't afford to make

    ends meet. But I suppose you're against Unionization too.

  • From Europe.

    What is all the fuss about? All developed countries have a subsidised health service. Its the Christian thing to do. To share your wealth via tax is the way our societies work.

    An Irish observer who finds this debate very strange

  • I'm pretty sure it's about the way it's being done.

    Pretty much everything the yanks have been sold by their government recently has been a lie.

    Everything thats been done in "their best interests" has ended up removing their freedoms and choices.

    Their lastest government under Obama is pretty much no different, same clandestine institutions behind it, just the mascot (president) underwent a face lift.

    This will just be another bait and switch, not in the interests of peoples health.

  • I think you watch too much TV.

  • Well, many special interest groups have paid some phony "concerned citizens" to intently disrupt the process. The other part of this is  Americans have a tradition of small government in dealing with most aspects of our daily lives (even when that government's actions are justified). Either way, our government will not cover our Health care by

    imposing taxes ( very unpopular) but rather

    by charging individuals premiums.

  • @notango1 There is a difference to freely giving of charity to the poor and forcing ppl to give to the poor. In America, our founding fathers gave us a country of FREEDOM to work hard for what we earn.

  • @partymartyrocks Yes but the greedy employers of today who are FREE to treat workers like sh*t and pay them sh*t do not give us enough for our hard work. The work ethic has a big whole in it. And BTW oil is gushing out of it, and we have to pay for that too. The poor pay for the greedy, but the greedy won't give back to the poor. They don't have to. They are free not to.

  • americans can be really proud of themselves for the world to see how we share interllectual ideas

  • Superman... As for the USPS they are MANDATED by the Federal Government to have an escrow account (read as, CASH ON HAND) to pay for retirees pensions and insurance. This amounts to 30 BILLION dollars. What other entity/company is mandated to do the same. If they weren't having to do this, they would still be making money. As for the other 2 you mentioned, they drop packages off at outlying post offices for delivery. What other mailing entity covers every street in the USA 6 days a week?

  • JRF1961

    "For those who are against a National Health Care Plan, please name one country with a national healthcare service..." CANADA AND GREAT BRITIAN.... Do your home work.....

  • LOL i was just going to say that.

  • For those who are against a National Health Care Plan, please name one country with a national healthcare service that is bankrupt or on the brink of anarchy and chaos or where the majority of the population wants out of their national health plan.

  • my challenge to you is to find one country with goverment run healthcare who doesnt send its patients to us for better healthcare and doctors than their state run goverment can provide. Hows social security going for you, hows medicaid working out, hows freddie mac and fannie mae working out. Hows gov run school systems vs private education working out. state run healthcare systems are not bankrupting becuase their people pay 50-75 percent taxes, of course there not bankrupt you just tax more

  • You still have not answered my question. But, ok, name me the countries with a National Health Care Services who send their patients (as well as the number of patients) to the USA for healthcare? Plus tell me how it's paid for. I'm surprised at the number of people who want the USA to return to the pre Roosevelt America (And I mean Teddy not his cousin FDR) with no government oversight and letting business have it's way. Teddy knew that businesses had to be regulated.

  • I did, you cant go bankrupt when you just increase your revenue by raising taxes. Canada, France just a few that send their patients to the US for better treatment that is just not available in those countries. Lets not confuse the issue, goverment is a neccessary evil. It must exist Im not stupid, but the less goverment the better. Again mail vs UPS and FedEx, private school vs public school, food stamps vs salvation army, name me one gov run program that could not be better if run by priv

  • Superman2265, I'm not saying or implying that you are stupid. I just do not understand why people are against any type of reform. Those who oppose it have not proposed alternatives to get the costs down or to make insurance companies drop their pre-exisiting condition clauses. There must be a safety net for Americans. People in Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Nationalist China, NZ and Australia have National Health Care and despite the horror stories from Rush and Sean Hannity, they work

  • @superman2265 Great Britian

  • Medicare, Medicaid and Social security will soon be bankrupt!

    Next?

  • On Youtube ALONE JRF1961- There are dozens and dozens of videos of Every Day Canadians who are approached on the street at random express there EXREME DISPLEASURE with the Canadian health care system. They know that there is a much higher percentage of people who die of cancer every year in Canada when compared to the USA. They know people die while waiting to get treated. Massive waiting lines, 2 and 3 year wait times to get a family doctor and to even see a doctor takes another few years.

  • @illmagnified No videos found for “ALONE JRF1961”

  • @JRF1961 No answer eh? Wonder why THAT is?

  • Think Obamacare will solve the problems?

    States on border fill w/ patients fleeing a "GOVERNMENT PLAN". Government Systems are Regulated, Controlled & RATIONED...unless you are IN the government!

    REALLY want Healthcare change?

    1) SCRAP GOVT OPTION.

    2) PUSH Torte Reform.

    3) REFORM Insurance.

    4) FIX MEDICARE/MEDICAIDE-BILLIONS WASTE/FRAUD EVERY YEAR!

    5) DOCTORS/PATIENTS DETERMINE CARE.

    I'll beleive the Fed has done something right when politicians are on the SAME they want to feed US!

  • Health care cost have gone u p 3 times? Why has nothing been done to prevent that? The propaganda is way too old. Been hearing it way too long.

  • Stop lying to the people. That damned defense budget is eating most of the budget. Health care cost is so high because those dogs at the top rung have allowed the astronomically ridiculous charges for medical care to get out of line. Example is charging thousands a day for a simple IV line, not counting the drugs which go into the line. Go to the hill and demand that health care have a cap of a reasonable charge. Also, get the addict rehab programs in line, which is milking the system.

  • where was the protest when bush was in office?

    he spent billions of billions of dollars for nothing!!!

  • not living in the states, not my problem, but she looks crazy (beginning with the haircut)

  • As soon as Florida Rep Kathy Castor drops her current healthcare coverage she has for herself and her family, and signs up for Obamacare, then she will have credibility. Until then, she has none.

  • At least there not like those Bull Shit Bush jr propaganda Town Hall meetings. Bush and cronies wouldn't allow this type of rage and anger cops would've been called busting heads.

    There all fueled by by the moronic rantings of Hannity & O'Reiley & Limbaugh. Like brainless sheep.

  • brainless you say? i think the people who gave my generation a kick in the pants by flushing billions of dollars down the figurative toilet are brainless. I'm not sayin Bush was perfect, far from it, but i couldve sworn there was supposed to be positive change when obama got into office, not negative change. just sayin.

  • goldnuke, FDR spent the last 12 1/2 years of his life cleaning up the mess he stepped into. This current "depression" is worse than then (No the news is not going to admit the unemployment rate is 30% (it was 24% during Great Depression. At least Obama has been on the job. Bush BS spent 45% of his time on vacation. When he was on the job, he

  • They are screaming because the bitch won't listen...  And neither will you I suppose...

    The democrats (not the government) will pass this bill regardless of what America wants because it serves their special interests.

    America can only yell while they do it.

    But a day in early November is coming when we WILL be heard!

    Register America !!! Vote independent or republican...either must be better representation than this.

  • Why, was the previous republican administration the shining light of representation?

  • Gawd, these people are stupid. Not surprisingly, they're fat, and I'm sure most of them are poor too. Both a symptom of being stupid... That also explains why they scream, because they arent smart enough to make a point. blahblahblah - we're fat and stupid!

  • Man this is the behavior I expect from school children from 1st to highschool. How disgusting. If any of these people had any common sense as they should have they should sit their asses down and have a discussion and debate as calmly as they can. This type of crap would not be tolerated in the classroom for godsakes.

  • You do know if human beings 'calmly debated' with the people that are 'in control' of their lives, this country would not exist right?

  • No offence but that a load of bologne. I am talking about listening first and then raising their hands to be heard each person at a time and keeping your ears open when others talk. Not that hard to do. These people had no excuse as adults to act this way. It completely pointless and nothing gets done.

  • The US government already provides free universal health care for a long time. If you go to any Indian Reservation they enjoyed the benefits of free Government healthcare every single native American has this privilege. The problem is they always run out of funding around June because it's to expensive and care is substandard, similar to a 3rd world country. There's a joke in the reservation, you better not get sick after June. I think this is similar to obamacare.

  • @johnorson "I think this is similar to obamacare." based on WHAT?

  • what is the point of having these meetings?

  • Whoa. I've never seen such a large collection of angry lard asses in my entire life.

    These people need to walk more. They'd be less sweaty in their fold areas, and therefore, less cranky.

  • Larlar, excellent point. These "lards" don't realize that they are in part to blame for rising healthcare cost due to the multiple diseases associated with obesity.

  • In America, we HATE our elected representatives.

  • we HATE them because after we elect them they don't do what they're said they would - and WE AMERICANS are getting tired of it.....FINALLY

  • wow I did not know...untill I saw this video..that the People from Tampa needs medical attention while in the meeting..foxZo83 you are 100% right/

  • If you read the health care bill it says we have to pay for mexicans fuck them!

  • I dont know were you get the idea that there is a final bill out but at present there are different ideas and propositions for the final bill. And if you look at the actual proposals given there is NO coverage for illegal immigrants that will be up to the states to cover which they have done for many years.

  • Look at all those fatties I'll have to pay for. These hambeasts need to stop drinking gravy and go exercise.

  • Is Kathy Castor going to drop her current healthcare coverage she has for herself and her family and sign up for Obamacare when it is passed? Of course not. Hypocrite!!!

  • Castor isn't going to drop her current coverage, and neither is anyone else who's happy with what they currently have.

  • Of course she isn't. That is my whole point.

  • What a pack of stupid old goats, let the woman speak how can anything be resolved when you act like an uneducated pack of idiots, next time someone needs to light some firecrackers and clear the joint out.

  • stupid fucking dittoheads.

  • OMG it's like the white people in Jerry Springer audiences. They need to have some way to check that these are actually her constituents and not some random people from another district.

  • an example of English to Fabricated Horseshit: "no one is proposing socialized medicine or government control over health care." = "It will be mandatory within 5 years."

    great stuff. gotta love that kind of free entertainment.

  • No you're going with what you hear on tv and the radio. You are just another victim of fear tactics.

  • I'm kind of impressed with her though. how can she continue to talk while everyone shouts? She must be an ice queen.....

  • Taking money from some one who does not want to give it away is stealing, bottom line. We have NO Liberty NO Freedom, slaves that is all.

  • these people are acting like a bunch of children...

  • They are pissed off, all this bitch does is talk. There is no dialogue here. Sit and be quiet and listen to some politician tell you how it's going to be? I don't think so.

  • but according to Obama himself as well as other spokesmen, this plan is not manditory. So what is there cry over? Besides the big private health care companies having to lower rates to compete with it?

  • It will be mandatory within 5years. You need to read the proposed legislation and stop being a Obama puppet.

  • Um...How am I an obama puppet when I didn't go for him in the pres race? And I did read it. And I don't understand how it is such a big freakin deal. Has nothing to do with who the president is at the time. I don't see anyone losing in this except the big name private health care companies.

  • Then why all of the angry people? How about person freedoms and choice? That's the American way...not socialism.

  • I like the way everyone's is suddenly concerned about freedom of choice. I don't see the old folks complaining that their kids and grandkids must pay for their medicare or social security w/o choice. Everyone there also pays their income tax i suppose too. The anti-reforn rhetiruc is being generated by the insurance industry. They are the only ones with someithing to lose The medicare crowd doesn't care about their own health system being run by the govt. why the cries of socialized med?

  • you are a complete idiot. I doubt you know the difference between blood and water.

  • what is your evidence that "it will be mandatory within five years." i want literal, provable evidence, and not your assumptions and baseless assertions.

  • I don't have any to give you. I gave out the copy i had to my next door neighbour. I am just going with what I know about socialism.

  • LMAO "gave out the copy i had to my next door neighbor"

    yeah, ok.

    very credible.

  • Weither you believe me or not is entirely arbitrary to me.

  • what you claim is arbitrary. i have been going thru this with other blind right wing zombies. you guys have created your own language, which i call Fabricated Horseshit. i don't know exactly what the process procedure is, or how things that have never been said by someone can be attributed to the person, but the newly created language is entertaining.

  • You need to watch John Stossel's special report of health care on 20/20.

    You amaze me, an entire paragraph and you didn't say anything. If you are just going to jerk-off why don't you use a towel and ejaculate on it and not on this thread.

    I'm far from right wing anything. I'm a Canadian who can tell you first hand that subsidized health care doesn't work. The WHO ranks us as #30 i nthe world. With all the money we spend on it and that's the best we can do? Shame....gov't stay out of it!

  • LOL what a shock. john stossle is a hard core right winger.

    you are in the minority when you say canadian health care "doesn't work". you spend jack shit compared to the US, and are ranked 7 spots higher. france is #1 and has universal health care. so what now big guy?

  • You didn't even see the video. I'm not in the minority. Canadians don't think the system is working. The average Canadian isn't happy with months of waits, many dying even before they can get a slot.

    France also has hundreds of elderly citizens die 3summers ago in a heat wave, they literally roasted in their houses.

    France also has a co-pay system, it isn't entirely universal. You need to brush up if you are going to debate me on this issue.

  • LOL i didn't see what video? and yes, canadians like their health care in general. i have many canadian relatives, so spare me the spinning of lies. the surveys say you are wrong as well.

    dying in a heat wave is indicative of a flawed health care system? how about "lack of air conditioning"? LOL that was moronic.

    france's system is recognized as universal health care. hair-splitting on "co-pays" is silly. and in such a system, everyone pays the same. you need to brush up on reality.

  • You have many Canadian relatives? bullshit! and no-one I know is happy with our health care system.

    In the French system the elderly are to be visited on a regular basis. They certainly weren't and it's a system failure first, lack of air-con. distant 2nd.

    I'm French-Canadian so I actually have read about France's system in my mother tongue. It is you who are truly lacking understanding. You are so lost about co-pay it's scary. Americans need to stick to blowing countries and people up.

  • i don't have many canadian relatives??? lol i love how you know who my family is better than i do. i have two aunts that married DOCTOR'S from canada. both of them still have homes in canada, and have homes in the south of the usa during the winter months. both couples had 4 children, 7 of which are married and have children. no, i don't have any canadian relatives. both uncles are retired dr's, but one still has emeritus status at detroit henry ford hospital. stfu with you bullshit. k?

  • There is actually nothing more suprizing than a Canadian doctor who stays. Kudos to your relatives! I mean all the good ones have left for America. Our town just lost two more to practices in the south. 30% of Canadians don't even have a family doctor! The waiting list is years!

    The only doctors we can hold onto are fake degree holders from sub-saharan Africa. Who wants to stay and deal with gov't paperwork and politics? Everyone in Canada is angry about this. #30 world ranking? pathetic!

  • visiting someone to see if they are okay is not health care. a f'n neighbor can do that. no system could do anything any better than a heat wave killing people ffs. do you think a doctor would be posted outside every elderly person's door during a heat wave under any system? please.

    you can read about france's system in any language lol. there is no superiority in being able to speak french. i am not lost about co-pays LOL stupid again.

    i love the ad hominem attack on america LMAO

  • Then why did they die? Perhaps alot of people don't know who there neighbors are. The French tend to mind their own business..perhaps you Americans should do the same; ad hominem attack re-amplified. I took Latin as well in school if it pleases you.

    When you can read the actual legislation in French, like I can you are superior. Things never translate exactly. You simply don't have the parts to understand the system exactly how it is worded. You don't speak French.

  • please. you are flying off the rails now.

  • With your logic; it would make a train take a dirt road.

    This is actually kind of fun though. How's that new war in Afganistan going?

  • you have lost all credibility now. have a nice life.

  • That's a common statement when losing an agrument. So is attacking spelling and grammar. I left that alone.

    Have fun with socialism, lets talk in two years when healthcare really is amuk, your currency is in the toilet and China just isn't buying your debt anymore, no one is.

  • you know what else is common? stating bullshit as true. there were no spelling or grammar errors. i confess that typos may occur for anyone. if you would like to address spelling and grammar issues, we can focus on that. i assure you, you will lose. for instance.. *amuck... dumbass. LOL how perfect.

    i love how you think the issue is, "america is bad... boooooo hissssss."

    the reform being proposed isn't socialism, but i wouldn't be against it if it was.

  • Ok..we've both had typos. Here is a ligitimate question for you;

    Do you actually think that the gov't can run a program better than private industry?

    2nd; please give one example of a gov't program that was more succesful to that of private industry.

  • LOL are you baiting? *legitimate

    you seem to think that the only issue is whether a government CAN run a program better, and not IS IT GOING TO run a program better, or IS IT WILLING TO run a program better. private companies have different goals and motivations that cause them to behave in their own interests, and not in the interests of the public. re: health care, that is not acceptable.

    your 2nd question is loaded, and subjective.

  • I cannot believe how they go on and on about how much our health care is costing us. You think it's expensive now, wait until it's 'FREE". We are going to be paying just as much or more in taxes to let the government run it and decide what treatment we do or don't get. Do they expect us to believe that we will have MORE money in our pockets? We will still be paying for it, only now they call it "taxes" instead of medical expenses. What's it matter? It's still just as gone. Lame argument.

  • Actually, healthcare could be ran by the government for much cheaper. Government doesn't need to spend money on lobbying like corporations do, on advertising, and most importantly, they do not have to pull a profit and pay off stock holders. All universal healthcare systems in the world are much cheaper than ours. (And when you look at health statistics such as infant mortality rate, they are better off).

  • since it's private and there's money to be made, drugs in our country cost x10 what they cost in other countries. it would drive the people who charge an arm and a leg for their shit DOWN which would be great. it's a scam and a rip off you have to pay so much to get help

  • As David Goetsch said in the August 14 Patriot Update, there are many problems with President Obamas healthcare bill: the exorbitant cost, bureaucrats making medical decisions, big brothers infamous inefficiency, and quality-of-care concerns to name just a few. But by far the scariest aspect of Obamacare is Section 1233 of the bill.

  • Obama has stated himself that the elderly account for 80% of our health care costs. Why is it that reasonable people cannot follow this to it's logical conclusion? Why can't they look into others who countries who have it? They ALL have the same problems that we WILL run into under a public option. Americans don't want that.

  • The facts are that government is proposing to run our health care. They are going to make the public option mandatory (no freedom there) and they will decide if you are worth saving. And who is going to pay for all this health care? Taxpayers. And you know very well that it WILL be rationed. .

  • what's your BITCH budget about,..WE do not want YOU DO YOU FUCKING GET IT IDIOT,..

  • This is OUR country not theirs and for them to tell you what YOU will do FUCK THEM

  • FIGHT THEM AMERICA do not give up

  • f-n broad the PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING STUPID FOOL we do not care about the e/r you are a worthless... and you little girl keep on going ness is a sunk ship you dumb ass

  • get the guns out they do not tell us what to do

  • yes thats right fool's keeep saying thing's that your bitch liberal ass say...ooooooohhhhh

  • stupid liberal fucks we CAN GO to figghting,...STUPID FUCK'S

  • god dammed youtube will not let post's if it's not in obbbbamma favor FUCK U YOU TUBE..BITCHES ..YOU BETTER WATCH WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE CONTROLLING WE DO NOT WANT FUCKING oBAMMMA HEALTH CARE

  • These town hall meetings are not going to accomplish a d*mn thing becuz FOOLS keep showing up hollering & screaming...no one can hear anyone else...it just ridiculous that GROWN *SS PEOPLE cannot sit & have a discussion...but REALLY given our country's history Y AM I SURPRISED!!

  • your right mike hondas phone townhall will accomplish nothing ...niether will town halss were they screeen the questions...they are controlled media sound byte....this is how america feels..you are correct though...they will accomplish nothing..they are not there to accomplish anything...but to hear peoples concerns...and they wont hear them in most cases..so folks are screaming....NOBODY LIKES BEING LIED TO FUCKER

  • Wow did u take ur medication 2day? HAHA.. I will try to decipher ur comments as they are so poorly written-u must have trouble reading as well,poor thing.I feel sorry 4 u.Being so ignorant that u cannot have a discussion w/me w/out calling me a "bitch", etc..Thank u for reaffirming everything I touched on in my comments! It doesn't matter which side your on-NO ONE can be heard if everyone is screaming. Their is a lack of mutual RESPECT given to one another-whether u agree with them or not.

  • Good grief, these people aren't there to "debate." They are there to let their representatives know the wishes of the people that these politicians represent. This is, after all, a representative democracy, or at least it USED to be. But please don't patronize. I don't think you ran yours through spell-check either.

  • No patronization-I wsnt even tlking 2 u.Politicians r never going 2 know how ALL THE PEOPLE feel.Nt everyone can be at a town hall mtg.They r going to vote however it serves their individual interests.Either way-their are people who will be upset.Certain people (on BOTH sides) dont want to be heard-they want EVERYONE to feel & think like they do.We are a diverse country w/ diff. views/ideas-we should be able to voice them w/out becoming volatile & abusive towards one another sooo...PEACE!

  • My goodness, you really DON'T know that our Constitution established a repersentative democracy? What do the think the House of Representatives and Senate are made up of?  OUR elected representatives. Now, what is a representative? I'm sure you know the meaning. And these people want their representatives to LISTEN to the people they represent. It's not their job to debate the issue to their representative's satisfaction. It is their job to make their wishes knows to their representatives.

  • LOL....i hope u feel better after saying all that becuz it had nothing to do with my comments. Have a good day!

  • do you like to have nice conversations with people who are lying to your face huh? sure ya do...you never get pissed...you dont like our countries history...hmmmm wow what a smarmy bitch...we are here fuck you talk to liars all you want we will vote their lying asses out in 2010 you just wait midnight cutie fucken bitch...dont like out history huh? fuck you

  • U cannot speak 4 all of America-I am AMERICAN & u definitely cannot speak 4 me(maybe when u learn how to read & write).I would LUV 2 C u vote out ALL THE LIARS in 2010-as ALL politicians LIE!everytime u talk to a politician, sweetie, u r talking to a LIAR....thats just how it is. Accept it & focus on other things that will make u mellow the f*ck out-(get a job, get laid,take care of ur kids, take a walk in the park, enjoy a nice sunset). You'll probably feel better about your life after u get 1!

  • Comment removed

  • you are correct I was very rude..this stuff brings out the worst in me....it is making me very upset...you did not deserve my harsh rude words..please fogive me...i understand if you do not....im embarrased by my actions

  • Emotions are hot. People are angry. This is what you get when you get a crowd together. Not to swich the subject but this is what happened 7 years ago when America was about to go to war. Whether you agree with the war or not, the liberals did the same thing and there didn't seem anything wrong with it.

  • I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. Every video in your favorites is some celebrity or circus act. You have no real interest in politics, you're a fucking media propaganda whore -- the Feds LOVE people like you. I'm done wasting my time...go watch some Britney Spears shit like a good slave, while I burn "Wake Up Call" DVD's for my friends like a good American.

  • um ya just because i faved bunch of stuff like 2-3 years ago i must not give shit about politics. Right, i must be pretentious online to seem to care about politics.

    you are just angry because u got nothing to talk about other than same non-sense shit over and over and now u are coming up with an unnecessary personal attack.

    for the record I don't like britney spears. What is this 1999?

    U never came up with any good arguments regarding health care itself. So have fun burning things.

  • oh btw are u stalking me online or something

    thats just creepy lol

    sry. i only checked ur profile to check ur age to see if u are young or not but i didnt go through ur favs to find out what kind of person u are, because its a bad assumption to make like u did to me.

    ya propanganda whore I must be for coming up with health care arguments that I can at least back up.

  • Sure, there are lots of problems with health care today: lets start by pointing out that the FDA (government) APPROVES toxic chemicals to be used in our food and water, and they approve unnecessary medications that are DEADLY.The FDA gives organic farming a bad rep, yet naturally grown food has been proven to reduce & CURE many health problems.Alternative medicine isn't recognized by the government as professional...but plastic surgery is! I could go on and on about the lies and manipulation

  • "I'm in ur country studying and learning things"

    Um yeaaah... sounds like you're learning all kinds of things.. like how to be a sheeple who thinks the government should own you.  Do yourself a favor and quit being hypnotized by your television.

  • I don't watch TV, I think cable news does more bad than good for Americans. And lotta things these 'protesters' spew are some Glenn Beck TV garbage, which I find more frustrating.

    And I'm learning computer engineering in this country, which is considered high-skilled worksince not a lot of Americans go into it. So ya that's sheepie thinking government should own me.

  • and no i don't think government should own anybody but you are still deviating from REAL issues aside from just spewing some BS that you seem like you saw on TV.

    I mean I don't think i have time to think about freedom and rights when I get hit by a car in the middle of the night from a driver who might've been texting. For young ppl like u and i it's hard to find a job. I wouldn't be ready to pay ridiculous premiums for less. How are you going to pay for it? Do you have at least $100,000 now?

  • If you are financially flexible, go ahead go with the private option. If not, good luck or you gotta find some kind of alternative to help yourself at least. I mean ya. Freedom and rights, fine great. But use that argument when someone's really oppressing your opinions like in Burma or something. All these town hall meetings ask for is a reasonable debate. Not screaming and shouting for bs. Leave that in Taiwan or Korea.

  • I agree. FDA and others who are in medical industry are pretty corrupted as much as the insurance companies are. There are lack of preventive care from doctors who would rather prescribe you unnecessary drugs and surgeries. There's also lack of control in cost unlike other countries driving up medicine cost for us to pay at least $30-40 for a few pills that can be bought for half the price elsewhere.

    So you hit one of many issues that doesn't really involve freedom and rights.

  • Reducing the healthcare cost is easy.. If the government executes OPERATION WETBACK and deport all the anchor babies in this country, then health care will reduce by 50%....The government used OPERATION WETBACK three times in our country, with tremendous results. Americans need to tackle the real issue with the health care cost rising: Illegal immigration.

  • I dont see where you guys get this crap about the govt thru healthcare or insurance reform are taking our freedoms.We are slaves now to this so called "free market" robbery.They freed us from our home value,our savings and our future earning potential.Their against min wage,unions,osha epa,fda cdc and anything that can protect us from the vampire capitalists.What is surprising is how few public liars it takes to sew so much ignorance

  • xpoet u dont know that the tv is telling you that but looks real to me ...make ur own judgment dont parrot mainstream news

  • The shame of this is that a number of those "protesters" were outside agitators. They are being encouraged by the health care companies and right-wing groups to go into these town halls and shout down any real, intelligent dialogue, and to help spread lies and scare tactics to kill any hope of the true reform we need in health care. Shame on them all.

  • Government has never successfully managed ANY social program. You will never get a society to agree apon a single payer healthcare program where the people who contribute and the people who don't contribute have the same benefits ! Try and convince someone to keep paying into something that someone who isn't will benefit just as much. Why be on the side that provides?

  • I know, these same people are the ones that called us un american for protesting George Bush. They support the war and the president. Well, here i am, i support the decisions of the president...lol, arragant bastards. look how old they are

  • Fascist tactics. Racist, ignorant Republicans in action. Mob rule.

    The Grand Old Party is finally dead.

  • (R)=RETARDED. Capitalist health care is a SCAM run by greedy CEO's. Rightwingers want those greedy CEO's to CONTROL YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, bankrupting you in the process of DENYING you coverage !!! Europeans have longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality and NO personal bankruptcies due to health care expenses.

    Rightwingers are INSANE and IGNORANT.

    Capitalist health care is a SCAM !!!!!!!

  • right wing/left wing - they both represent BIG government which takes away the freedom of the people. WAKE UP! This is a war for your freedom, and your political party doesn't matter!

  • Obamas 1st townhall- He kicked ass. The GOP are idiot monkeys. All their BS lol! what morons! their heads are up the asses of rightwing media disinforments and the political class misleaders.

  • fucks news didnt cover it completely no panel disscusion where are those assholes they arent even talking about it! chickenshits traitors

  • The insurance industry is making a mockery of our US democracy. Everyone here bussed in from outside Ms. Castor's district should be ashamed of themselves. They are showing that the industry lobbyists in Washington have no ideas other than hiring people to yell and shout down public discussion. This is just what the brown shirts did in 1930s Germany to defeat democracy on their soil.

  • Obama's Healthcare plan = Eugenics plan to get rid of old people

  • This is positively amazing!!!

  • Fringe group in a political minority. But we shouldnt rule out euthinasia on a case by case basis.

  • un patriotic who cares! these assholes dont even know what their protesting. They listen to sarah shit for brains and glen phoney beck. The good news is their only

  • Yeah we do, and speaking against an administration isnt unpatriotic

  • Idiot

  • Uhm , you calling me an idiot isnt proving your point, nor does it make you any smarter

  • Welcome to Korea/Taiwan/Russia lol

    honestly.

  • No not Russian, Russia is actually gradually moving towards capitalism and truer then ours democracy. The one we used to have. America for the most part is still asleep, but the giant is waking up

  • im not talking about ideologies

    i'm talking about whole screaming/shouting/shoving stuff in politics.

    I thought we only watch them on Spike's "WORLD'S MOST AMAZING VIDEOS"

    But if you are talking whole idea thing, I want to hear rationale rather than simple claims like "I want my america back" "government wants to force euthanisia," etc. then push someone, scream, cry then turn the meeting into shithole.

    Ok im done.

  • The whole ratioanl of things, is government managed to missmanage just about every budged put for a particular programm, and now we want to give them another programm to missmanage.

  • you can't be rational with a government that is stripping you of your freedom. It's like begging a serial killer not to kill you while he's got a gun to your head. Go to Google videos and watch "Wake up Call"

  • you honestly don't get what im saying do you

    im not saying some left/right crap.

    it's a matter of logical thinking and backing up your argument.

    at least one side is trying to be rational (i'll give you that the government isn't handing out pamphlets to old ppl so instead they put everything on their website) while the other just denounces it for sake of "taking away freedom"

    stubbornness sucks. I mean let's all grow up and have an intelligent talk

  • The founding fathers fled from this kind of bullshit and you proud American's who had everything handed to you are dumb enough to walk into this fire pit just because Obama promises it won't burn. Thomas Jefferson would knock you upside your brainwashed heads if he could. Read the Constitution, then come talk to me. Until then, you aren't informed enough to think logically about what you're saying -- promoting government control over your body. Hah!

  • im not American, Ive lived in three different places in the world to understand at least what the real problem is instead of discussing some freedom bullshit.

    you want company telling u what surgery is experimental and not then?

    you want to keep private health care option? KEEP IT. That's what Obama said.

    I'm not brainwashed, go do some research, get a passport, get out and learn what's really going on around the world instead of pulling some assumptions based on myth and stubbornness.

  • if you're not American than maybe you should stay out of this and worry about your own country's problems.

  • I'm fine with mine, except I'm in ur country studying and learning things like how dumb people like you would rather accuse ppl rather than have an intelligent debate.

    And I like how all "non-US citizens" are considered illegal and deemed evil when there are legal residents, students and workers who didn't crawl under the fence or sneak onto a container and rightfully filled out documents and had interviews to be in a great country like US.

    You must be one of them right?

  • This has nothing to do with constitution, it's an easy way to get common denominators get mad without understanding what the core problem is.

    U never stated what the problem with health care today is. I can point out at least five things.

    At least samulis belives that mismanagement is the problem, which is fine.

    on the other hand you are spewing some 50 year old old lady bullshit overshadowing real issue over ridiculousness.

    grow up and do some PROPER research

  • The core problem is that the Federal Reserve Bank has taken over politics a long time ago (1913), bought out all the media, and has become an international mafia unbeknown to the people because the media isn't reporting it.

    The problem with government health care is that it gives them too much authority over the individuals own body. Sorry chump, but this has everything to do with the Constitution which was written to protect the PEOPLE.

  • sigh.

    "The problem with government health care is that it gives them too much authority over the individuals own body."

    Yes government must be diagnosing cancer in UK, Canada and Germany. Um no.

    And oh wow AETNA and other insurance companies tell you what you can and cannot be covered for and jack up ur premiums every year for doing less. Wow, that's some freedom too huh.

    sigh.

  • Yea, "dissent is the highest form of patriotism!!" Eat your own words LEFTIST a-holes!!

  • It seems the libs only believe in civil disobedience when it advances one of the causes they believe in. Isn't this the type of "in your face" activism Obama spoke of in his campaign?

  • Since when did civil disobedience become something the left was against?

    Is dissent no longer the highest form of patriotism?

  • Shhhh, you may make some of the left in here cry.

  • health care costs are consuming more of your family budget because of government intervention.

  • Obama's health care reform is NOT about helping out the people, it's about CONTROLLING the people. Step in line for micro-chipping!

  • So let it be written......

  • 2010, 2012

  • Republicans need to learn manners.

  • American's need to READ THE CONSTITUTION.

  • Looks like this meeting was destroyed by radical right wing crazies.

  • looks like someone's been watching too much mainstream media. Guess what buddy? Many of the protesters are Democrats. Political party doesn't matter

  • Those no good TEA BAGGERS are at it again. We heard your voice in the last DAM 8years when your no good for nothing Bush was in the office and he was disgrace. So you bunch of paid off drug baggers will be shut down everywhere you will go to try to disrupt any events. You so called MOBS.
