Sen. Schumer Calls Out Sen. Grassley On Medicare

[h4KK]

Haha Grassley, pretending he cares about freedom OR choice.

"A public option is bad because it's another choice from a new source... which may become so popular that the people could choose for it to be their ONLY choice! We must prevent new options today to save more potential future choices!"

Have him take a look at the insurance markets in most states - dominated by three or fewer crappy insurance companies. And we all know how much republicans care about those OTHER pro-choice subjects :P

[usucdik]

Grassley and the Republicans are determined to keep our choices within two categories: Bad or Worse.

[VelvetHammer73]

Big government caused the problems in healthcare. Now they want us to turn the whole thing over the them?

[john51880]

Yes! This video makes me want to send Grassley Money to fund his next campain! Iowa should be proud!

[karakaraman01]

Whats this about government and government is not good, if you don't like government why are you working for the government get out its no good anyways.

[JohnnyBB82]

That's what I say all the time. I don't understand people like Reagan and others who have an inherent disdain for the government they wish to work for. I personally wouldn't hire someone into a factory or shop that they wanted to dismantle. It's lunacy.

[john51880]

Grassley needs to stand up to chuckyou when he starts this stuff. Medicare is a big government entitlement program and a mess!

[JohnnyBB82]

Try to take it away from America's seniors. We'll see how popular Republicans are then.

[john51880]

How do you think they were going to pay for their exspansion of healthcare? It would have covered tons more and they want you to buy that it will be cheaper? The Democrats would slash coverage and raise the age to give Illegals(post amnesty!)cradle to grave half ass low quality care! Ya lets have a popularity contest!

[JohnnyBB82]

First off, it's not an expansion. Second, there are specific amendments barring illegal immigrants from obtaining the low-cost government option. Thirdly, there are no debates on changing our health care system, just the coverage of your fellow citizens. I know, right? Taking care of other people? What a foolhardy suggestion! Fuck everyone else but you and yours, am I right? Too late on the "popularity contest" by the way. Seems Republicans have lost and will continue losing. :\

[john51880]

You are full of crap! I have read meny versions. I have never seen anything that would ban congress from granting amnesty to millions and then exstending coverage to them. This is an absolute power grab! It will government jobs and entrench yet more union members. They don't give a dam about quality healthcare that is just how they are selling another huge growth in  government!

[JohnnyBB82]

There is nothing in the bill, any of them, extending "amnesty" to illegal immigrants either. You're a paranoid delusional. I'd suggest you seek help, living all your days in fear of government and being angry about "socialism" isn't healthy or productive.

[john51880]

Do you think the democrates would just come up front and tell us we are going to get screwed? Amnesty is a goal of the left. The new citizens tend to be democrat voters. Dam right I am angry too bad your not smart enough to understand why.

[JohnnyBB82]

Oh I'm smart enough to understand why: You're a tin-foil-hat wearing paranoid schizophrenic! Why are the majority of voters, young, or minority, or woman, or gay, all democratic? Because they understand that Republicans hate anyone who isn't a WASP, or some variation thereof. Amnesty was apparently the goal of your last president. Where can you go to hide from all those filthy Mexicans??? Tool.

[john51880]

I love when people like you talk out of your ass. I am glad you can belittle a minorinty like me publicly. It makes it clear what you are to every one! Democrates love the race card! They seem to think it trumps all. Porublem is when you cry wolf to meny time no one listens to you! Now go away small minded and frustrated!

[JohnnyBB82]

I'm not the one whose frustrated. I'm happy with my president for the first time in eight years, and my congress for the most part. I'm not "belittling" you, and I don't know what you mean by that, unless your minority is paranoid schizophrenics. If you're a Mexican, I wasn't belittling you as a Mexican, I was "belittling" your apparent paranoia that Democrats are out to make more Mexicans into citizens. Dolt.

[john51880]

It does not matter if I am mexican or not, you are smug and rude. I thought the left was excepting and open minded? I guess that only is the case when I agree with you. Amnesty has happened befor. So to claim I am paranoid is pure smoke screen. Oh did you see the 25 million dollar medicare scandel today? hahaha

[JohnnyBB82]

The last person to do amnesty? Reagan. The last person to try it? Bush. Both of the Republican party, Reagan being a hero of the right. So your claim that Democrats are trying to usher in "amnesty" is a smoke screen. I am open minded, unless someone doesn't want to believe truth and only wants to believe the worst about their political opponents without any basis in fact. Maybe if you did your research, we could have an open honest discussion.

[john51880]

Reagon never had control of the house and senate. It was democrates in the house and senate who pushed for it. Reagon held his nose! Teddy Kennedy was the guy who fought to eliminate and hobble any attempt to tighten the border.

[JohnnyBB82]

Reagan could've easily vetoed it.

[JohnnyBB82]

Also, did you hear about the numerous "medicare scandals" under the Bush administration? Of course not.

:\

[classc63]

What about the REST of the people in the United States ASSHOLE! We don't deserve CHOICES??? We just need to wait until we're Senior Citizens to HAVE A CHOICE??????? Count your remaining days in office Senator Grassley, because this is one Iowan that will NOT be voting for you!!!!!!!!! And will do my part to make sure that others follow suit.

[AstoundedAtheist]

Took the words right outta my mouth!
