Reid, Baucus, Dodd Discuss the Urgency for Health Insurance Reform

[Jaimetud]

Finally, a SenateDemocrats video that can be commented on! Say no to the public option!

[boorens18]

lol FAIL.... every major study on the topic found an overwhelming majority want the public option, including CNN's study' A harvard study/etc. Its not even a discussion in the public now. The point is to get congress to do their job. Your yelling to people who dont care about your opinion jaim, and find it uncredible.

[Jaimetud]

Wrong again. there are plenty of polls out there that have said the people don't want a public option. Rasmussen reported that 63% would rather keep their health care than go on a public option.. Of course CNN would report otherwise, since most of their viewers are Democrat.

You are a fool to think that a government as dishonest and irresponsible as this one is qualified to start taking over health care, sir. It's you that has failed.

[boorens18]

lol I'm studying sociology and one of the major focus points is how to do proper polling question.

The study you quoted is a misleading study...notice the wording says "keep their healthcare rather than switch to the public option'

That is a biased study as the questioned group:

A) already has healthcare, so the study completely ignores those without healthcare.

B) The question ignores the possibility of having the public option avaliable but still keeping your current plan.

[Jaimetud]

Theyve prioritized certain age groups over others in order to get vaccinations out there. If and when the public option passes, it would not solve issues like this. If you live in a state that has opted into the public option, people would be most likely to use that. Immunizations would run out even faster, and when that happens and if youre living in that state, youd best not be taking care of yourself because the hospital wont be able to do so unless you become terminally ill.

[boorens18]

in other words, you just got OWNED by whoever did that poll. They totally tricked you and you didnt even notice because you weren't smart enough to spot it.

So no, an intelligent person wouldnt support that poll, and CNN would likewise probably avoid it. It shows the mark of a stupid group/person to hold that up as an accurate study on the healthform situation in America, (Which DOESN'T make healthcare mandatory, which your study assumes, nor does it target a biased group)

[Jaimetud]

My goodness youre bad at this.

First, you refer to a biased CNN poll, then you bash my sources for being biased as well. At least I could have been honest in admitting that my sources were biased, but you seem to treat this as some sort of game.

[Jaimetud]

I think it would be best of you to actually take a look at CNNs polls. They recently published a report from ORC with 1,018 adults being interviewed. They were asked the question: From everything you have heard or read so far, do you favor or oppose Barack Obama's plan to reform health care? 53% said yes, 45% said no and 2% said no opinion, with a margin error of 3%. If you come back and complain that CNN is biased, then youre going to have to admit that your own sources are faulty.

[Jaimetud]

Wording or not, weve now covered at least two polls that say the public opposes The Obama Plan/Public Option/PelosiCare or whatever you want to call it.

You then go on to say that because the sample group being interviewed already has healthcare and therefore the poll ignores the possibility of a public option. Theres no connection. Because people have health care does not defeat the chance of people wanting the public option. Again, even CNN acknowledges that people disagree with you.

[Jaimetud]

If youre going to make the connection that Rasmussens pollsters dont acknowledge the public option being optional, then youre going to have to say the same about CNN because I dont see anyone mentioning that over there either on that specific poll. Now, lets get down to the real issue here. Congress is trying to create a public option that would drive up taxes and pretty much guarantee a worse health care system. Organizations like Kaiser are having enough trouble getting an H1N1 vaccine.

[Jaimetud]

So basically, stop playing games here and making yourself look foolish by typing stuff like lol FAIL over a matter that should be taken much more seriously. Most people in this country are for health care reform of some sort, so lets actually try and make Congress come up with something that the people support instead of bickering on Youtube like ten-year-olds.

[boorens18]

you realize that "bickering on youtube" is called discussion, and its a way too organize and educate citizens?

Oh and that was a terrible attempt to dodge my point....You fell for a biased poll entirely. Now your just upset, and choose to instead target my sarcasm/joke slang rather than my point.

[daderone]

pass a bill with a public option

[jjrglobal]

How arrogant are these three career politicians to believe they are smart enough and have the experience and expertise to centrally plan the largest most complex sector in the economy?The hubris one must have in order to believe this is astounding given the fact that none of them have any medical or even business experience. How do they think they know how to fix anything?

[boorens18]

given that it is effectively done in just about every other leading industrial nation...... I think they'll manage. In otherwords, you are wrong, no one cares either cuz no one is listening and taking you seriously.

[Jaimetud]

They don't. And the people are starting to realize that too.

[jjrglobal]

How do you people sleep at night. Either you are incredibly stupid or incredibly evil, which is it?
