Sit-in today at Aetna office in New York to demand an end to insurance company abuse

[drakenfly]

Aetna thru Ball Aerospace was responsible for having my disability and my insurance health coverage dropped and was responsible for having me involuntarily terminated from my job because of their "over the phone" examination. If you get sick while at Ball Aerospace expect to die if it is serious its what Ball Aerospace and Aetna want. I was a full time employee when I became disabled. I believe Ball Aerospace along with Aetna hope I die before any of this gets resolved. STAY AWAY FROM AETNA!

You do not have a clue about what the facts are on healthcare. If you are going to quote John Ensign, a senator in the pockets of HMOS, save yourself the trouble. Not everybody is as dumb as you are to allow themselves to be brainwashed by a senator who has to have all his statements prepared by staffers. You don't want to be forced to buy healthcare, we don't want to have a private healthcare system imposed on us. By the way, your views are not welcome in USA anymore!

[independentview1]

What Private Healthcare is ever forced on anyboby? If you don't like the product they sell don't buy it. It's called Freedom.

Americans who fail to pay the penalty for not buying insurance would face legal action from the Internal Revenue Service, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

The remarks Thursday from the committee's chief of staff, Thomas Barthold, seems to further weaken President Barack Obama's contention last week that the individual mandate penalty, which could go as high as $1,900, is not a tax increase.

[independentview1]

Under questioning from Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), Barthold said the IRS would "take you to court and undertake normal collection proceedings."

Ensign pursued the line of questioning because he said a lot of Americans don't believe the Constitution allows the government to mandate the purchase of insurance.

[independentview1]

"We could be subjecting those very people who conscientiously, because they believe in the U.S. Constitution, we could be subjecting them to fines or the interpretation of a judge, all the way up to imprisonment," Ensign said. "That seems to me to be a problem."

Ensign's argument , however, wasn't persuasive to the committee -- which rejected an amendment from Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) to eliminate the individual mandate

Fuck private health insurance. health care for all!!!

Please check my video: to hell with private health insurance

HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!!!

[independentview1]

Not the greatest audio, sounds like they are saying: "I want the Government to be my Mommy. I'm not capable of taking responsibility for myself. Me, Me, Me, Mine, Mine, Mine, Now, Now, Now"

[swckswck]

I hope you never lose your insurance, my friend. You might not have such a glowing view of "free market" insurance, which by the way is a total sham. The world's biggest insurance company, AIG, would've collapsed if the government hadn't propped it up. You advocate "responsibility" for the most vulnerable, but not for the real thieves, who are bleeding society dry,

[independentview1]

Been without insurance before, the World didn't end. Probably come a day when I shall be without it again and the World shall not end then either. I don't want Insurance that Liberals force on me with the threat of Jail if I don't pay their masters.

No Insurance company CEO ever came up with the idea of putting people in prison for not buying their product. It took Democrats to come up with that one.

[swckswck]

"No Insurance company CEO ever came up with the idea of putting people in prison for not buying their product. It took Democrats to come up with that one." Uh, dude, that's not part of anybody's plan. No proponents of universal health care have ever called for that. The weak Obama plan didn't call for that either. The insurance companies might not "put you in prison for not buying their product," but they will let you go straight to the morgue for not being able to afford their product.

[independentview1]

If you don't buy ObamaCare, Obama will see to it you go to prison. At least in prison you will get free health care. That's Hope to a Liberal.

P.S. Get your information from somewhere besides Keith Olbermann. You are really uninformed.

[swckswck]

That's an outright lie.

[independentview1]

Look it up for yourself.

Oh, I forgot. Facts are Liberals Arch Enemy.

[hms08KY]

This action took real courage. Thanks to all who protest the loss of lives due to insurer meddling and influence peddling.

I work with a single payer activist who marched with Dr. King. She says that the incrementalism--let's not make waves, let's build a coalition, let's move cautiously, let's not disrupt the business community--was exactly what was holding back change until the marchers hit the streets.

[TiradeFaction]

Fuck eh! About fucking time people started demonstrating for single payer. This better spread faster than insurance industry money grows in Obama's pockets.

[maxx1000]

.

Someone thinks Americans DO NOT deserve affordable healthcare.

Who could that be?

.

[nilent]

Thanks to all of those with the courage to practice civil disobedience in the cause of saving lives.

Single payer would cover everyone, and for the same or less than we are now paying for a messed up unsustainable system.

Doing the right thing not only saves lots of money; but lots of lives.

[suescannon]

You are my heroes!!! Thanks!

[pcgailc]

Thank you for your efforts!

[renecalvo]

thanks for putting yourselves out there.

[independentview1]

Medicare is already going broke morons. Try taking responsibility for your own life instead of ecpecting others to pay your bills.

[Remeses1]

If you are going to criticize others, at least do it in an intelligent manner... check your spelling.

[independentview1]

Sorry Miss Manners

[independentview1]

Yes Miss Manners

[maxx1000]

Sorry...

... A 40 THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL is not what I would wish upon you. Why would you wish that upon your fellow American?

[romweb1]

Thank you Nurse Romilly for doing what we all should be doing

[SuperEvilC]

This needs to happen every single day.... take it straight to the problem.
