The President's Veto of S-CHIP

[NORMANGODS]

suck my cock

[candiceevans1]

Im not saying all government is bad but what I am saying is that the government has become too big and this creates a system where no one knows what the other is doing. It also creates rivalry between agencies like CIA, FBI & Army. They refuse to share info because the other agency may get the credit. 9/11 is a good example. we had all the intel prior to 9/11 but agencies refused to act. the people involved say we need to scale back these agencies because the red tape is massive

"Japan's government debt, already the highest in the industrialised world, mushroomed to a record high of Y795.8 trillion ($A9.5 trillion) at the end of June, according to a report released by the Finance Ministry."

Someone mentioned the $6 trillion American National Debt. i wanted to point out japans. Bush didnt veto it because he hates kids, you morons, million and millions of people agree against Universal Health Care. also, we in the states dont have a 60% tax rate to pay for such a mistake

[idiotforshort]

The $83,000 figure is based on a request made by the Governor of NY (note increased cost of living) to increase the eligibility guidelines for his state; This request was refused. The 83,000 figure would never come into play if SCHIP was passed, but is being scandalously used to misrepresent SCHIP.

Also, most of the additional funding would go towards children who are eligible at the current eligibility standards, not the increased standards the dems are proposing.

[arbelm1]

poor choldren? did u even read the bill or u always regurgitate what u hear on CNN? it was for families making less than 83000, i dont even make half of that. If 83000 makes u poor, what am I? Homeless??

[rentedhalo]

most of america makes less than 83,000 - last year i made the most i've ever made in one year working 2 jobs, and it was slightly over 12,000. i haven't been to the hospital or seen a health care professional ever since i got off of my parent's insurance plan several years ago. you and i are probably only one or two paychecks away from being homeless or at least losing our place to live - working poor. if you pay into the system - don't you want to get something back?

[arbelm1]

get a degree

[Trigger2O12]

Dont worry, Go Back to sleep America, The Government is in control

[arbelm1]

and yet u will keep bitching while everyone is sleeping

[UncleIrv]

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH, for holding the line against liberals in congress who want to incrementally socialize our health care system.

A government takeover of health care is NOT THE ANSWER. Just ask the people from Canada and England who TRAVEL TO THE US just to get basic care! Ask the European families who have watched LOVED ONES DIE while waiting in line for care!

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IS NOT THE ANSWER!

[arbelm1]

agreed

[dogwagger]

Hi! I'm a Canadian here. You asked, so I'll answer, we in Canada sometimes get services done in the us because to SOME of us, we prefer being treated by corporate hospitals that will kiss our asses all day long knowing we are the rich, and couldnt care less where we go when we want something done now.

You people fly to india for operations as often a we take a little drive.

Are you clueless or just pretending so as to advance an agenda of not caring about your fellow man?

[UncleIrv]

Ahhh, You Tube. A place where even the psychologically challenged, like the person above, can feel at home. Welcome!

[arbelm1]

You know you lie so much I dont even know wher to start from. I will give you one example of how your favorite system works:

In your socialed medicine,pregnant women are NOT accepted to hospital until dialation reaches 6-8 cm, because they get incentives from government in they spend less.Here you get accepted with 1-2 cm dialtion plus they NEVER turn patients away.

[rentedhalo]

never turn patients away?!? where in america is this hospital cuz me and my poor ass friends would like to go there, seeing as we have NEVER been seen in any hospital because we can't afford insurance - save once after 3 hours of excruciating pain in the ER waiting room.

[candiceevans1]

before insurance co. the cost was lower and they made house calls too. the government destroys everything they touch,,,they made healthcare so high that noone can afford it. they have destroyed education to the point that the more school you get the more stupid u get lol they have even destroyed food by allowing chemicals that poison us and water filled with flouride and prozac. they say the prozac came from the waste of people on prozac lol I mean really

[rentedhalo]

Did you know that America is the only industrialized country WITHOUT a national health care system? Did you know that American's spend the MOST on health care (even counting other countries' higher taxes) while receiving the LEAST care? How is a for profit health care system better?

[Trigger2O12]

This is just another step towards the one world government. We will all be micro chipped. The government is slowly putting their fat dick in your tight ass- it will hurt. The Government Does not give a **** about you Open your eyes and realize You are being lied 2

[madzionist]

So ignorant the American.

Wake up or kill yourselves.

Now.

[arbelm1]

or go fuck urself

[CitizenBrain]

Bush, the Clintons, OBAMA and RUDY GIULIANI in fact most presidential candidates are all involved in a plot for world government and enslavement of mankind. wake up people

[Trigger2O12]

UR as Dumb as they get

[arbelm1]

I guess with that statement,you won the argument!!!! congrats

[hesh2]

A truly beautiful liar!!! Hopefully Guliani will keep her on so we can get 4 more yrs of that porcelain queen!!

[mrfoltz]

I think George Bush should read Jonathan Swift's [A Modest Proposal] maybe he'll find a way to pay for Heath care for poor children....

I'm being facetious!

[humanedomain]

RE: tax money & healthcare. Do we need a US Embassy (aka palace - google a pic!) in Iraq thats costs 600MILLION+ in tax $s? Couldnt or SHOULDNT that be spent on healthcare at "home"? Sure, we need embassies. But this is a PALACE! Why is this not talked about? An ENORMOUS "embassy" vs. Childrens Healthcare (or any other issue at hand) Healthcare in the states is "messed up" folks!

[chervilant]

"Blah, blah, blah, crap, crap, crap--look at my pretty, fluffy hair!--blah, blah, blah, lie, lie, LIE!"

[grassroot3]

She's adorable

[MartySchrader]

Maybe, but she's also a lying sack of crap, just like every other spokesliar this admin has fronted. This lady keeps claiming that she doesn't know this or hasn't heard that or can't be held accountable for what previous spokesliars have said or other similar lies. What in the hell?!? THIS IS HER JOB. Watch for it. She lies like a dog.

[unwashablebrain]

bush would rather fund the war than help children. he is an evil, war-mongering, profiteer. how can anyone back this piece of shit?

[Achariea]

Without a doubt, but first you have to realize that "There is no money." As long as the FR exist we will be broke as convicts so to speak, however at least convicts get there room and board for free, and there cost of living doesn't go up. :) & like I said b4, Bush needs this war on so-called terrorist to pay back the Federal Reserve.

[unwashablebrain]

true. we're borrowing money from china to pay for this war. on top of that, we're buying the cheapest shit they have at a breakneck rate so walmart can stay in business. our money is worth 25 cents on the dollar, and the national standard is based on a fossil fuel which is becoming a rare commodity daily. you can't burn gold, why did we switch to oil in the first place? we're fucked!

[grahamillionare]

ron paul supporters lol

[grassroot3]

WE ARE STUCK THERE!! Bush doesn't want to be there, we are stuck there. We said we'd come over and win this war and we had a chance to do a goodjob, but Rumsfeld fucked it up for us - we asked how many it would take and he messed up hugely that's why it's like vietnam. But we can't just stop funding it at this point and we have to put money there (that is the number 1 priority and everything else just has to wait) and you will see slow withdrawal from IRAQ pretty darn

[Achariea]

I disagree, Bush needs the war to repay debt from the printing of the US currency from the Federal Reserve. The Twin towers was merely propaganda to start the war on terrorism. He wants to be there, whether you see it or not is a different story.

[opinionated2]

What Bush LOVES is war, Haliburton, Blackwater and Isreal. They all get millions, so somebody has to pay down that 9 trillion $ debt! Let's start with the babies.

[friendsofthefruitsof]

ever think that the actuarians have planned a double hump in preventing social mobility. To graduate from college you enter your young adulthood with a mortgage sized debt, and then they seem to have figured out how to relieve each middle income family of their life's savings and home but coinciding the final 2-3 month's hospital and dr. bills with just about the entire family savings, so after the death of 2 in the family there is very little left over.

[getplaning]

Bush loves children, he just loves insurance companies more.

[trimixjoe]

The only way if bush loves children, is if he is a pedophile...Which he probably is!

[leepakim]

oh man she is HOT & FUNNY!! I hope she is still single...

[kkoegler]

yeah, cuz she'll totally go out with us if we ask her.

[themarvination]

Had it not been for President Bush's veto pen, the Islamofascists would have walked away with America today. It's just a good thing, that General Petraeus will be standing by in 2009.

[madzionist]

General Petraeus is a child molesting republifuck that couldnt navigate a war even if he WAS trying too.

Jarheads need to realize the purpose of American war is to keep......at war.

Money money money muuuuuunnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaayyyy!

But not for yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

When the peso hit 50% they will build your new highway like black people built the railroads.

But damn I hope you nuke yourselves before that!

[thereallurker]

Repugs are disgusting. They fleece the treasury with a war based on lies, give tax cuts to the well off, send the poor, the middle class and the patriotic to war and won't do anything for children.

[themarvination]

You can bet the day can't come too soon soon when that poor women finally escapes all that hostile fire, once she leaves the White House, ane joins her fellow comrades-in-arms at the Washington Post: patriot columnists like former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson, as well as all time great Americans George Will, Robert Novak, Charles Krauthammer and Fred Hiatt.

[4951WEDDEL]

Parents who are currently paying their employers to insure their kids will indeed drop them.

[4951WEDDEL]

I am not against the program and neither is the President. It is the needless expansion of the program that I am opposed to. I could care less about raising the cigarette taxes since I don't smoke, but one does not justify the other.

[4951WEDDEL]

That is a LIE. I have never made $62,000 a year and have three kids and never had a problem. Medical insurance is expensive. That is true. However expanding this program will mean some people will drop their insurance and let the government pay for it.

[jedimasterham]

you never make 62,000 a year?? how much do you make then? I feel sorry for you, having to pay 10,000 a year for insurance.. I don't have any medical insurance, because I'm Canadian! We pay taxes a little more on everything, but everyone gets healthcare.. I had appendicitis in the US however, and I had to wait more than 10 hours to get surgery.. How shitty is that?

[4951WEDDEL]

First, what I make is really none of your business. Second, I don't pay $10,000 a year for health insurance. Third, Canada has price controls on medicines. Finally, socialize medicine has some benefits. The problem is that it takes all the incentive out of research and development of new therapies and drugs.

[takotheoktopus]

I'm so glad to be living in Canada so I don't have to deal with all this mess that U.S. citizens go through. I was hit by a car and was rushed to the hospital. No waiting in lines, no fees, plus everything I payed for was minimal enough that it never prevented me from getting back to being a productive member of society.

[arbelm1]

oh please, do us all a favor and stay there.

with your hospital care,I rather die on the streets

[dogwagger]

one day you might

[arbelm1]

as long as its not in canadian hospital.I rather die on american soil anytime and anyday.

[4951WEDDEL]

Poor? 300% of poverty is not poor. If they would get rid of their Esacalades, cell phones, and gold bing around their necks, they could afford health insurance for their own kids.

[jedimasterham]

I think that's a poor theory.. Anyway, the whole controversy nowadays is between privatized healtcare and a federal (socialized) healthcare.. We pay enough taxes to cover a universal healthcare plan, which would pay doctors extremely well, as it does in so many countries already.. Socialized medicine replacing privitized should be the main issue here...

[4951WEDDEL]

We have the greatest health care in the world. We have the best doctors, best hospitals, and the best care. We produce ALL the new treatments, medications, and CURES! The present crisis has been caused by the government starting Medicare and Medicaid. Health insurance as a benefit was invented because of wages controls imposed by the government decades ago.

[eriandor]

What kind of egocentric bastard are you.Ever been to europe? Western europe uses a social health care and you now what, it works better than your american style... And even if you SUPPOSE you have:"the best doctors, best hospitals, and the best care".What good does it do if it only helps the top/middle layer of the population?It only means the gap between rich and poor grows.

[eriandor]

And next time you want to brag about amerika inventing stuff, read a newspaper( non-amerikan that is).In my city alone they have invented innnumerable medications and cures

[JLeo777]

Wow that was incredibly ignorant of you. I would gather you watch to much TV because you were obviously generalizing blacks, as if they are the only poor ones in America and as if all poor "blacks" waste whatever money they have on hip hop cultural excess. Greatly ignorant. This is from a black person who thinks government should have the least power possible. But when you make comments as you have, you represent a very ignorant and unintelligent aspect of our culture.

[yoda634]

Surbrus, do you know anything about the economy?

Any significant changes in the economy are not due to the Bush administration. It's much more likely that anything happening now is a result of Clinton policy. Come back in 5 years and then talk about what Bush has done to the economy.

[noncohort]

Reagen and Bush Jr. drove down the dollar with their deficit spending. End of motherfucking discussion.

[madzionist]

You fuckers are all too dumb to realize that China OWNS you now.

[noncohort]

I don't know how you comment is relevant to what I said, Mr. Madzionist.

[madzionist]

Yeah ok.

Ahhhhhh JARHEAD! Do I have your attn Americunt? You blame republicans, they blame democrats, and in the end "We (YOU) the people(Sheeple" - LOSE.

So ignorant the American.

Wake up or kill yourselves.

Now.

[Surbrus]

Before Bush took over the US Canada's dollar was worth like 0.62$US, now comparatively we're up to around 1.01$US pretty much the highest its ever been.

You guys better not screw up again with the next election, or your horrible economy will most likely start dragging our Canadian economy down as well... not to mention all the non economic problems you have because of stupid Republicans.

[WtnCracker]

The problem with trying to institute programs that benefit Americans is ... We have a situation where America is allowing other nation to horn in on these programs .. there is NOT enough to supply the globe!! If this bill gets passed ... that will mean that anchor babies qualify as well .. Correct this mass exidus of tax dollars and then we can redirect it to OUR OWN!!! If you want to help American children ... Then save some money for them!!!

[dafttool]

Bush is showing just what his priorities are, and they aren't America's. "No Child Left Behind" was/is a failed campaign slogan. If he was an honest man, his slogan should've been "No War Profiteer Left Behind."

[4951WEDDEL]

My children have always had health insurance that I PAID for because they are my kids. If the Democrats want socialized medicine then they should propose it. It is cowardly to use children as a back door to it.

[arbelm1]

Liberalism is based on a lie and democrates have to coward for people to belive them,however if you notice,its mostly ignorant or dumb people who vote democrate

[rentedhalo]

it's really very silly that you call democrats cowards and call their supporters ignorant and stupid when you are either drunk or don't care about spelling, punctuation, or grammar. before anyone says anything: no, i don't capitalize anything. i know.

[candiceevans1]

this is true,,,we wouldnt have a need for welfare if real capitalism was florishing in America,,,the government has destroyed the mom and pop stores and destroyed all industry forcing Americans into abject slavery to live. The democrats pretend to be for the working man but they are really out to destroy the middle class. they are communists in democrats clothing. RON PAUL IS THE ONLY HOPE

[4951WEDDEL]

Yes, let us help the children! Let us never question the wisdom of spending more and more money on the "children". Let their parents pay for their health insurance.

[angusharris]

Wow, Bush will spend billions on private security contractors, that have failed, in Iraq, but not help American children. Why? He doesn't believe in big government? Bullshit. He has a private army paid for by our taxes.

[S1Genocide]

They still have the votes to override this veto contact your senator or congressman now.

[westphalianprinz]

Already have done that! It's going to be tough.

[asdffd]

God help us all. Bush and the fanatics who support him are driving this nation over a cliff. Every single Republican supports paying Blackwater over $1,200 a day per mercenary they have in Iraq but when it comes to the health care of our nation's children....Let there be no doubt, Bush and his followers are destroying this country.

[wiskawind]

Hay, "Seaward" why did Bush give a 92 million of OUR tax dollars to Blackwater, while he spits on OUR American children? So Seaward, you and Bush support Backwater's Death Machine, while you condemn America's children to die a slow death from lack of health care! I hope you both burn in HELL!
