White House Budget Director Peter Orszag: ObamaCare May Fund Abortions

[TallVape]

Fascist Pig!

[rjholling]

God I hope so railroad. I guess you like getting fucked in the ass by insurance companies but I sure don't!

[railroadtrash09]

I think if healthcare is going to be free for the poor, we will have to pay for abortions. Otherwise you are taking womens rights away. To me, that is another step to govt. taking away more rights. What a mess....

[kweer58]

0:25 "I'm not prepared to rule it out." Neither is Obama. His plan explicitly authorizes his administration to pay for all abortions under the "public option". Anyone enrolled in the public plan would be required to pay into abortion coverage. Abortionists would send bills for abortions to the federal government, and receive checks drawn on a federal Treasury account. The funds in this account are government funds, public funds. Thus, it is direct federal government funding of abortion.

[sevenamigops]

poor obama....he CAN'T give us free healthcare because usa dosen't have any

money..citizens, do the country a favor and store some food plant a garden and buy guns and fishing poles to have food cause the countrys economy and the world is doomed

[pine829]

And another thing is that both hte PRESIDENT and Hillary who dosent believe any of the stuff they said about Bill are working reely hard on getting us free healthcare from them greedy doctors with all there fancy cars and golf. And one of the things that the PRESIDENT and Hillary should be doing is figuring out how many kids we reely need anyway.

We got WAY to many of them where I live with them always making noise and spraypainting there names on stuff and smoking!!!

[pine829]

You ignerent sroopid republiCANTS who are fat cats should shut your big fat mouths about THE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES GIVERNMENTS good plan to give us all TOTALLY FREE healthcare because us HARD WORKING AMERICANS!!!

And you ideots keep talking about a healthcare BILL. You MORANS. There is not going to be a BILL because its going to be FREE witch meens it dont cost no money. How stoopid can you be.

And we have to many mouths to feed anyway so we dont need no more loud and crying kids!!

[JonnyRBee]

Looks like he's not prepared to rule it out.

[MrMrbobblehead]

we cant trust cops the media washington the church or any thing and we pay for this

[LLORT3]

GOP hates blacks

[RedToryProductions]

How did Saskatchewan accomplish single-payer non-profit public medical insurance in 1940s ?

Tommy Douglas and Mouseland.

Check it out.

[12jjpf]

This pin head is an idiot if obama care is so great why is he exempt from it?WAKE UP AMERICA SEE HOUSE RESOLUTION 615 AND HOW MUCH DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT OBAMACARE REALLY HAS!! EXEMPT-FREE FROM SOME LIABILITY TO WHICH OTHERS ARE SUBJECT F OFF

[afortaleza]

I can understand many positions of the left on a principle basis.

But I see no way to defend the killing of innocent and defenseless humans while they are being generated, what could be more defenseless than that moment ? And what could be more criminal than kill a person in this stage of her life ?

I just don't get it, how do you argument over this ? This is a fucking crime, period !

[LiveFreeOrDie091]

Last time I checked an aabortion was a CHOICE ! Well then pay for your own CHOICE !!!! It's not mine pay for it yourself !!!!!!!!!

[Mixman77]

Pkr, what planet are you on?

[Pkr]

Obama has so far kept his promises and positions to the American public. He has done very well in a most difficult times. Much better than the Chenney Presidency....

[barklikeamonkey]

What are you mildly retarded? Obama is worse than Bush & is a chronic liar.

Is he better than Bush? NO

Did he end the war? NO

Is there more transparency in Gov't? NO

Is his cabinet void of lobbyists, as promised? NO

Did printing assloads of money fix the economy? NO

Did the stimulus create tons of jobs? NO

Did Obama stop unemployment from rising? NO

Did Obama distribute wealth to the poor? NO

And they call the Rebublicans "The Party of NO"? Ain't that a laugh!

[dearkgar]

Obama is better than Bush. Bush was a bad president.

[LiveFreeOrDie091]

Really you came to that conclusion in just six months ? Before you spew out another childish bumper sticker slogan , why not wait till the end of his term to make that comparison !

[dearkgar]

No. I came to that conclusion earlier. Bush is worse if for no other reason than by simple default.

Nothing I have said appears on any bumper sticker to my knowledge. Also, sir, the comparison between Obama and Bush was initiated by you...

Good day.

[sucktastic]

89% of Americans consider Obama to be the worst President in history? LOL what? Who was in the poll? Rural Alabama and the Palin family?

[killergames187]

No Bush was the worst President in history,But Obama is coming on fast!!!

[DillonX]

The Health Insurance Industry is passing out MANY MILLIONS in contributions now TO STOP THE PUBLIC OPTION SO THEY CAN KEEP SCREWING US.

Please get Libermann, Bunning, Vittar, & Burr OUT OF THE SENATE.

[MarkG45]

oh look at that, an administration basing policy decisions off of reality and facts, rather than getting their wisdom from invisible sky wizards that whisper things in their ears.

its such a bad thing, isnt it?

[exweez]

hmmm...liberals want the government to pay for baby murder....sounds as if they want to ration human life

[Mixman77]

It's not conservatives who dislike abortion its everyday normal minded people. Only a person who has little or no respect for themselves would purpose such an outlandish plan for abortion. Did you know a baby in FULLY FORMED at 10 weeks old and now obama has made the law read the baby can be aborted even in the 9th month? If there is still one toe in the mother and the baby is alive and breathing, they can still abort it. That's just flat out murder and I wouldn't want to pay for that. I wont!

[Joe402]

Hmm, conservatives don't want abortions to be covered...it's almost as if they want to ration health care...

[liberalsRloyalist]

haha no government run health care will not pay for abortion.. we dont have the money to pay for the health care in the first place.

[DillonX]

Vittar of Louisana, LIbermann of Conn., and Burr of NC must BE KICKED OUT OF CONGRESS.

All 3 are working as lobbyists for the Health Care Industry! THEY HAVE BEEN BOUGHT WITH MILLIONS!

[Gillz17]

Of course it will be in the Obamacare bill because Dems control both houses and the presidency. They can do what ever they want!

I say funding for abortions will be buried on page 842. Any other guesses?

That said, make no mistake. There still is time to contact your Senators and tell them NO on Obamacare. Blue dog Democrats can be swayed to vote no. Likewise, any Dem that faces a close reelection campaign can be swayed. Contact them NOW! NO on socialized medicine.

[robm425]

Lets be serious it will be on page 909 of the 1000 page additions they place on the desk of the congressmen at 4am the day for the scheduled vote

[Gillz17]

robm425...

Sadly you are more accurate than I was. Keep speaking out though. The people that are informed the less likely that this bill will pass... or at least it my pass but with far less then what Dems want.

[davidpark68]

Like the government Gives a Sh*t about our constitutional rights anymore.

[robm425]

Whats the constitution?

What is really scary is Obama taught Constitutional Law!!! I hate to have one of those lawyers working for me judging how Obama currently interprets the constitution.

[andrewh23]

The constitution is that thing Bush and Cheney violated with illegal domestic wiretapping, torture, and indefinite imprisonment without trial. Have I refreshed your memory?

[pariahpete]

Are you addressing anyone in particular or just replying to the voices in your head? The subject is Obama healthcare. There are other videos on The Evil Bush you may want to view.

[robm425]

You realize that Obama supports the "illegal domestic wiretapping" and indefinite imprisonment.

The media will not tell you that. but do some web searches and you'll find out that Obama and Bush are the same

[pariahpete]

Anyone with a Social Security number is an open book to any agency. It's been that way since Carter and the NSA. Rise and shine! Paranoia is always accompanied by delusions of grandeur. The trite thoughts expressed by anyone on the web, including me and you, are so non-threatening to our government as to be laughable. Intelligence agencies don't waste their time evesdropping or "wiretapping" self-important schnooks who delude themselves into thinking their ideas are radical or dangerous.

[andrewh23]

If law enforcement never oversteps its bounds, why do we even need the bill of rights moron? The bill of rights exists because we don't let law enforcement function under the honor system.

[pariahpete]

Who said law enforcement never oversteps its bounds, andrewh23? James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights for a lot of reasons, by the way.

[davidpark68]

Damn, you forgot Obama & Biden since their just a continuation of the last administration.

[davidpark68]

I smell a lawsuit.......... the collecting of Federal Taxes infringes on my first amendment Rights because it forces me to commit murder by using my money to kill Babies in the womb. this is against my religious Beliefs & therefor should exclude me from paying Federal income taxes or any tax that finances this behavior.......... think it would work? Petitions Anyone? any constitutional lawyers think this has substance?

[andrewh23]

If I can't file a lawsuit over an illegal war in Iraq, what do you think your chances are? I'm a lawyer and I say, "Don't hold your breath!" The ONLY grounds for citizen standing to challenge congressional spending is under the Establishment Clause. Since getting an abortion is a medical procedure and not a religious practice, you're fucked. Deal with it.

[davidpark68]

I'm sure I will have to "deal with it". I see your point, If I'm Paying to Kill Soldiers on Both sides of this war, why not babies too..your right We're Fucked

[mwoodard50]

I use Demorats.

[SATANSbankers]

Makes sense if they really want to get rid of 80% of the population, or "useless food eaters" as they refer to.

[Jorient405]

Just because something is legal, even though it's morally unpalatable to most of the country - means we should all have to subsidize it? And you're calling someone else dumb?

[perusboy]

last time i checked abortion was legal in this country. effing redumbplicans

[Yyyyzyyy]

Hey, you're the one who said "redumblicans."

Now THAT's dumb.

[ballantrae101]

don't use "redumbplicans", use "wingnut".

Similarly when I talk about leftist asshats, I don't use "dumocrats" I use "moonbat".

It's more creative, has a better ring, and is funnier imho.

[andrewh23]

Everyone knows Republicans have much better sense of humor - Sarah Palin was a huge fucking joke. Nice job shooting yourselves in the foot by scraping the bottom of the racist, fearmongering barrel.

[jacksjohnny]

The biggest joke of all is gaffe a day Joe Biden. The Democrats are prepared to use taxpayers money to fund murder of the unborn child in the womb. God help America

[ballantrae101]

Right now you have both houses of congress, tv (with the exception of ONE network), most of the press, the white house, and most entertainers. There has never, in the history of the Republic, been a time when the Democrats have had more power. On top of that, the man you elected is pushing forward and making sweeping changes.

And yet, you act with such anger, hostility and fear when it is your party that is in power. Don't you realize why you do that?

Please, stop for a second and think.

[pariahpete]

You're right ballantrae101. The overreaction is symptomatic of their uncertainty. The subject is Obama healthcare. The question is: should taxpayers pay for abortions? I would say, only if the mother's life was in danger without one. Otherwise, couldn't abortions be considered "elective surgery"? Isn't this where a woman's right to choose comes in? If she elects to have surgery, why should I pay for it? Whether you or I think abortions are right or wrong is irrelevant to the argument.

[ballantrae101]

I'm not sure if that's the reason for the overreaction. I think it's actually because perpetual anger and rage give a person an excuse not to consider the other side. If we know someone is a monster, than we don't consider what he says. In fact, we conservatives criticize libs for being open minded about guys like Ahmadinejad.

However, none of us advocate genocide, and yet we are viewed with more loathing. Why? Because it's convenient, it gives an excuse to ignore us.

[pariahpete]

You're probably right, ballantree101. But I think some of the rage and anger is defensive. The Messiah's words and actions must never be criticized. If they are, they go into default and say "what about Bush?" and rant about off-topic issues. It's easier to do that because they know their script so well and they don't have to address the subject at hand. They don't like their dogma being questioned. How often have you been called a racist? That's always their trump card... to them, anyway.

[ballantrae101]

Well, I haven't been called one yet, but I'm really hoping someone will do it - I'm middle Eastern Jewish, but my skin color is really white, so I get a lot of amusement out of pointing out to European Jews that I'm whiter than they are. So I'm really looking forward to doing that to some moron who wants to play the race card.

Yeah, I know, it's silly, but you got to get your kicks somehow.

[LiveFreeOrDie091]

Last time I checked it was also a CHOICE. Your choice not mine so pay for it yourself !!!!!!!!!

[bitemyjihad]

In other words, "yes, Obamacare will pay for abortions on demand". Here's a better idea that will make everyone happy: Mandatory sterilization for anyone collecting a welfare check.

[dankenton]

No prolem here. I only hope that some of my tax dollars may someday abort the next Scott Roeder or perhaps some future christian conservative theocrat!!!

Hey Morrissey...how's that salad bar diet working for ya???

[deftech79]

Complete lack of morality, compassion, and ethical integrity.

But should we expect anything more from this joke of an administration?

[andrewh23]

Your complete lack of morality, compassion, and ethical integrity will surface if any of those kids grow up to be Muslims. At that point, you'd say bomb them to hell - they're all evil terrorists who hate us for our freedoms!!

[fazoolius]

I can't imagine that this is a surprise to anyone. This has been the goal of the liberal left for decades now.

Funny though, how the left screams for choice when it come to the killing of innocent life yet they seem perfectly content with no choice when it comes to their health care.

The hypocrisy is getting more evident by the day.

[andrewh23]

Funny though, how the right screams for innocent life but has not problem with conquering Iraq without provocation causing close to a million deaths and then spending hundreds of billions tax payer dollars to rebuild it and pay Blackwater mercenaries to police it.

The hypocrisy has always been evident.

[exweez]

you are correct let's kill all of the babies who violate 17 un santion and torture and terrorize the populations they govern

[andrewh23]

How about we only topple dictators that we DIDN'T arm, train, and support financially to serve as foils to our enemies? In September 1980, Saddam attacked Iran, using arms supplied by Western countries in an eight-year war that caused more than a million people to be injured or killed. NEWSFLASH - We didn't invade Iraq to free Iraq - we invaded because Bush said they had WMDs to attack the United States! Since when has anyone given a shit about the UN?

[pariahpete]

It's quite possible that both the Iraq War AND abortion are wrong. One doesn't justify or negate the other. And, as andrew23 says, you don't have to be a conservative to believe that life begins at conception. If it's so terrible, as you suggest, to take innocent life in a senseless war.. why is it okay to throw a healthy late term fetus in the garbage? Why do you take the moral highground on one and not the other?

[andrewh23]

I didn't take any moral high ground - I'm simply pointing obvious hypocrisy and rhetoric.

[pariahpete]

Thanks for pointing out hypocrisy and rhetoric, andrewh23. Dr. Tiller never equivocated about where he stood on the value of life. That's why he was never hypocritical and is, therefore, a folk hero to some people. Now getting back to the subject.... If abortion is a woman's right to choose, you'd have to say its elective surgery. I'm not sure taxpayers should pay for that any more than they should pay for plastic surgery. If a woman's life is in danger, than abortion should be covered.

[iprazhm]

Yep, the Great Satan, Obama the baby killer, will most certainly make those morally opposed to abortion pay for it. That's just how he rolls. Wouldn't expect anything more from him.

[bigkeys72]

This completely invalidates the stupid "pro-choice" argument. Where's my choice of my tax dollars to not fund abortions? This administration is pure evil

[andrewh23]

Where's my choice of my tax dollars to not fund Bush's illegal and unprovoked war in Iraq?

[sucktastic]

Exactly, Andrew.
