Austin Case Confronts Congressman Gus Bilirakis

[caplayer14]

they walked away while I yelled at them about the peoples lives they were jeopardizing, ie those with life threatening pre existing conditions denied treatment.

You looked like an emotional idiot. Way to go!

I like the way you stopped the video just as his 'aide' was trying to engage with you.

So you 'confronted' him. Then what?

Seems to me he did answer Austin's question: he wont just support any bill. There is nothing as simple as a bill that deals with one issue. Lawmakers attach tons of other things to bills, and that is why some officials do not favor a certain bill.

He says straight out, I Do Favor access to health care for all. And the fact that he did not walk away though he knew you were video taping him shows he was not afraid to face you.

All of you people supporting single payer health care obviously have never taken a trip to France or Canada before. I happen to live in Canada, and this is exactly the type of health care system they have. Try going to an ER, when you or your loved one is in need of emergency care, and then ask yourself if the system is so great after the 6th hour of waiting time. If you want to help fix health care, assaulting a representative is not a way of getting things done.

WAY TO GIVE IT TO HIM.

Continue the fight, don't back down.

We need reform, and to fund a program so that AFFORDABLE healthcare is available to everyone-not a luxury for the rich.

Whose best interests is he protecting? His constituents or the Insurance lobbyists?

[spring1978ukma]

Of course it isn't JUST the medical bills, it is also CREDIT card bills that the government allowed to "Capitalize" their wealth by charging people fees upon fees and the LOAN companies who did the same exact thing.

What I do not get is why the Loan companies got the bail out they didn't APPLY the money to the peoples loans that were past due INSTEAD of paying their CEO's millions of dollars in BONUSES. SO they are getting their cake and eating it too!

Good job Austin, way to confront Rep.Gus Bilirakis. It sure seem like he didnt want to talk about a problem faceing millions of Americans as well as his constituents. Hopefully they will remember how uncaring he was when he wants to be reelected and vote him out.
