Obama Rallies Support For Health-Care Reform

[mrblob20]

look at her condescending voice.. who the fuck is she ... some paid actor bitch whore "reporter"

[1KuanTi]

Great Job from our junior Senator from Chicago. He everyone lets go to the white house and have a beer. We can all fawn over Obama.What a hack, he is so niave, He is slipping in the poll because BS can get you to the Top but it won't keep you on top. Obama's matra for business "Too big to Fail" for families "Too Little to Save" President Obama we are not that stupid, we see through you and will be kicking you to the curb. I just cringe when I watch him, he is so niave, and believes his own BS.

[zploek]

Wow, sensible guests on Fox!!! whodathunk THAT?

Pity they did NOT address that email correctly:

Obama wants to attack the present MONOPOLISTIC capitalism in health care, by installing a public option. Obama wants COMPETITIVE Capitalism! Repubs want lazy capitalism without much or any competition for the big HMO's and their CEO's.

[ladylordess]

Government vs Private is NOT competition. Where did you go to school????? What world are you living in? Ideally Obama wants single payer. There are videos on you tube where he has spoken of this for years!!! He wants to eventually move there!!!! He is currently lying to the American Public. Now that it has been delayed, more lies will come to the surface. JUST what he didn't want to happen.

[ladylordess]

What is with this fellow who knew he was going to be on Television, and didn't bother to take a bath. Yuk!!

[diffidatio]

what connections got her this job? she is ridiculously bad.

[DJCatylist]

Who let this greazy bastard on TV? OH yea.. fox news.

[DJCatylist]

ahh good ol' fox news, reporting anything that makes people feel bad for something!

[TheTenToMention]

Repeat after me

Fuck health care

We are at war

War sucks blood

War has bankrupted us

Call a truce now or this nation will fall fall hard

White peace

[arrowakano]

fox is a trip listen to her very carefully c how shes trying 2 push the rederick but these guys are shooting her down

[spucy]

What's rederick? Do you mean rhetoric?

[arrowakano]

u know what i meant

[fashionwhorexo]

fuck yeah, universal healthcare.

[achampag]

A TRILLION DOLLARS? NO!

[FugitiveCon]

My dad is in remission from non hodgkin's lymphoma. He presented with "stomach pain." Had he been forced to wait 4 months or longer, his prognosis would have been very different.

My sister had ventricular tachycardia 2 years ago. She does not work, therefore had no health insurance. She was diagnosed and received the life saving catherter ablation procedure that she needed on her heart at the New Orleans Charity Hospital, and did not have to pay a dime and received excellent care.

[ladylordess]

Because this was a charity hospital. Corporations make donations to places like this. This is superior to being forced to make donations to a government in the way of raised taxes. I prefer choosing which charities I give to rather than being forced to give via taxes, which will be mismanaged or used fraudulently.

[FugitiveCon]

...and my sis received VERY good care from a highly qualified doctor.

Yeah, can you imagine healthcare run like FEMA? Can you imagine healthcare run like the DMV? OMG.

[zploek]

DMV? I get my stuff always within 5mins and 15 mins there. I WISH the hospital ran like the DMV!!! Seeing a doctor within 15 mins!!?!!?!?

ha ha ha ha.

The only reason the DMV works bad IF it works bad, is because repubs gutted it.

[FugitiveCon]

...depends on where you live DORK. I have NEVER been in our DMV and out in less than1 hour and that's when they are moving fast. It's always take a number, sit down and wait.

[FugitiveCon]

There isn't a single government agency or division that runs efficiently; do we really want an organization that developed the U.S. Tax Code handling something as complex as health care? Quick, try to think of one government office that runs efficiently. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? The Department of Transportation? Social Security Administration? Department of Education? There isn't a single government office that squeezes efficiency out of every dollar the way the private sector can.

[Mangina9000]

"There isn't a single government agency or division that runs efficiently"

There is. There are also corporations and small businesses and households that run inefficiently. your point is moot. Watch "The scientific arguments for US healthcare reform" at this week's New Scientist and learn something about the world.

[FugitiveCon]

There isn't a single gov office that squeezes efficiency out of every dollar the way the private sector can. We've all heard stories of gov waste such as million-dollar cow flatulence studies or the Pentagon's 14 billdollar Bradley design project that resulted in a transport vehicle which when struck by a mortar produced a gas that killed every man inside. How about the U.S. income tax system? When originally implemented, it collected 1 percent from the highest income citizens. Look at it today.

[Mangina9000]

your view of the world is pathetically simplistic. I don't even really know where to start with you.

[FugitiveCon]

Try.

[Mangina9000]

Why do you enjoy paying over twice as much for worse healthcare then the rest of the developed world? Have you ever been screwed over by an insurance company? I worked in insurance claims. It was my job to screw people.

[FugitiveCon]

Never said it wasn't messed up in a lot of ways. We need free market reform in the healthcare industry. We need to curb some of these malpractice lawsuits somehow. There's a lot that needs to be done, but I do not want the gov in my wallet any longer.

[FugitiveCon]

...and if you don't think the gov will fuck you over concerning the wait time to see a doctor and what procedures are and are not covered....then you live in a dreamworld full of pink unicorns!!

[Mangina9000]

Evidence contradicts what you have said.

I have linked you to science, you just babble Libertarian (you are not a real libertarian and do not understand where the concept comes from, hence the capital L). Out of the 8 most developed nations, we come in second to last in waiting times. We spend FAR MORE every year, to private corporations, then anyone else. you are truly clueless. hopefully you don't undergo some medical crisis and get fucked by insurance. I had to do it for a living.

[FugitiveCon]

You obviously have not read my channel!! LOL!!

Do more research and digging before you make incorrect judgements of people.

And b/c you "did it for a living" makes you no expert.

[Mangina9000]

your channel is sad.

And I do research for a living.

[FugitiveCon]

HAHAHAHA!! How old are you?

You're going to insult my taste in music?

And everything I say, you come back with, "I do ____ for a living?"

Goodbye liitle child. Run along now. I hear your Mommy calling you.

Thanks for the laughs though! LMAO!!

[Mangina9000]

Well no, I am merely responding to you at your intelligence level. I have science and statistics and WHO reports on my side, you have nonsensical white rural phobia and not much brains.

[FugitiveCon]

..and remember you can always fall back on, "I do that for a living," and you always have your name Mangina. LOL!!

I have NO doubt you are very, very young.

[Mangina9000]

I have no doubt that you can fall back on AM radio platitudes. I tried to reason with you, using science, but all you incestuous NuCountry Republicans care for is yer gut feelin' and the general misappropriation of the American flag for general ignorant and sinister things.

you, like so many others on the losing end of downward spiraling supremacy, have serves as minor and humorous distraction for a few minutes. I encourage you to keep flailing around blindly like a tadpole in a petri dish.

[FugitiveCon]

You have done no such thing' try to reason with me using science! Oh, I have tears readind your replies. Please do not stop. They serve a purpose and you're too dumb to see it.

Was your science calling me names, judging the kind of person I am or was your science when you attacked my taste in music!!

This is just too rich in comedy. Can't wait for your next reply!!

Oh, and continue your blind support of BO, he can't do without it.

[Mangina9000]

Hahaha, right from the fucking Ann Coulter playbook! How many of her books do you own?

Fake laughter as an attempt to appear insouciant. I can play that game too. Why do you hate America? Why is it so hard for you to read?

[FugitiveCon]

Tsk, tsk! More incorrect assumptions!

..and if you believed all of your uninformed thoughts of me, you would have long since stopped replying.

[Mangina9000]

and you have deeply shitty taste in country music.

[FugitiveCon]

A few years back to government published a "Tax Simplification Guide", and the guide itself was over 1,000 pages long! This is what happens when politicians mess with something that should be simple.

[FugitiveCon]

If it can't handle things this simple, how can we expect the government to handle all the complex nuances of the medical system? If any private business failed year after year to achieve its objectives and satisfy its customers, it would go out of business or be passed up by competitors...

[ladylordess]

I'm glad to hear that things worked out for your Sister! Siblings are very special.

[FugitiveCon]

The governement as the "gate keeper" on healthcare is a really, really bad idea. The system will be so bogged down, you'd be lucky to get in to even SEE a doctor!!

[cojute06]

Healthcare does need to be reformed. Stop taking my money and using it to pay for healthcare for others. Let them pay thier bills and I'll pay mine. Thank you.

[Xplosiv08]

Go Obama! Don't let the fools who work for the insurance companies stop you!

YOU CAN DO IT OBAMA, AND THE AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEHIND YOU.

72% of AMERICANS want HEALTH CARE REFORM. NOW.

[Schwochert]

too bad only 44% are behind his kind of reform.

[chinacat22]

Everybody in this video is a rich motherfucker who has great health care. And they make their money off the back of the workers they take advantage of. Fuck these assholes!!

[beancube2008]

Before the Financial Tsunami, many people works two part time jobs and still don't have coverage in low seasons. This is how blood sucked out of the system. Profit stays optimum to avoid those temp no workers. The health system still have to pay for that gaps somehow because they can't allow uncovered cases untreated. This way, their profit get double somehow is achievable. This is how American punish ourselves.

[beancube2008]

Monopoly corporations simply stop those battles for shortage and quality after their profit saturated unless they take more of controls of other revenues where they can manipulate supplies and drive our cost high but keep their expense low. Thats why we keep losing flexibility of what we desperately needed when they run it like the auto, banking and oil industries.

[humaner]

Corporations always working to expand profits.Bankrupt and no health care is ok in America.

[partweed]

This woman is an actress. She's paid a lot of money to indoctrinate citizens of the Idiocracy.

How many of you visit the dentist every 3-6 months?

How many of you have a personal physician you selected yourself and you see your personal physician every 3-6 months?

I thought so.

The Audacity of Narcissists

[interestingperson121]

Hahaha just look at the dumb bitch, begging , PLEEEAAADING for some agreement from the guests. Fucking GOLD! pure GOLD!

[interestingperson121]

*** HAHAHAHAHA THIS WAS AWESOME ***. Fox News made to look like an idiot ON LIVE NATIONAL TELEVISION by their OWN GUESTS!!! The dumb bitch is trying to teach the GUESTS they invited THEIR stupid message while they're BOTH disagreeing with her spoonfed propaganda. This is *HILARIOUS*

[sophiemarie49]

The host on this video is very unprofessional. The silliness of her reading that 'crazy' anonymous e-mail was laughable.

Thank goodness the guests were well-informed about the crisis of health care in this country. As more and more Americans lose their health care or can't afford it, as people realize even with medical insurance a serious illness can bankrupt them with medical bills the insurance doesn't cover, Congress will hopefully push through a truly workable health reform plan.

[TheNewVideo]

Obama and all the leftist Democrats need to be voted out of office or impeached immediately.

[witecracker2]

Hillary Clinton is the real president,

believe it or not she has more pull than anyone truly knows,...this is not a good thing either,

all a bunch of ,....well id rather not say for my family's safety .,

remeber her and her health care reform???>?

[Mangina9000]

Typical Fox News tripe. No thought, no dialogue, just working for the megacorporations.

[newbeg2112]

You all can bet your asses Obama will be the last black American president...and it has nothing to do with the fact he is a failure and closet socialist/radical....but on the nature of our country...same reason we haven't elected another Catholic like Kennedy.

[Mangina9000]

go fuck yourself you shitfucker racist cunt.

[newbeg2112]

what are you like 12?? How do you know I'm not just a conservative black man? Go listen to your dumb music and play with yourself.

[Mangina9000]

One of the few, the proud, the self hating 2%? I don't know, playing the odds I guess.

[JMehrman]

Wow these two are probably the largest TOOLS for Barry I have yet to see on FOX! Hahaha

Everyone knows these two are so FULL of SHIT, it's just so damned entertaining to watch these two LIE and also watch them TRY to believe it.

[fivestarmichael]

Obama would have a lot more trust and political capital if he hadn't rushed through a porkulus bill that hasn't helped the country. It did put a lot of money in the hands of special interests groups.

How much should we trust Obama or his party?

[kerryalanm]

Please people, if you want toknow the facts, do not watch FOX. They are shameless propagandists and will say ANYTHING they think will derail what Obama wants to do for those are not rich. She reads a message from some radical conservative and then characterizes all of the messages they got as the same. Fair and balanced? Not really.

[barklikeamonkey]

At least they are reporting. The other so called news outlets omit news & instead cover trivial crap like Obama's jeans during the first pitch, whether or not Michelle should have sleeves on her dresses or how cool it is that Obama can swat a fly like Mr. Miagi.

At least on FIOX, I will never hear their journalists claim they get a "tingly feeling" that runs up their leg when they report on Obama.

[PilatusPorterPC6]

These two guys ARE assclowns!!! Bought and paid for by BLOWbama!!!!!

[Gman256]

The way you use words to convey such wit...its beyond its years...

[PilatusPorterPC6]

Yeah, I can see the truth. So many people believe in Blowbama but they are in for a RUDE awakening!

[charlessmyth]

This bill will not reduce the cost of healthcare, but will hide a further increase in the cost via higher prices across the economy, and an increase in taxes. The proper reform is to get government entirely out of healthcare, so that market forces will set healthcare costs to their proper level. Contrary to popular belief, rich people do not enjoy very expensive healthcare. And what politician is going to deny voters' demands for subsidised healthcare beyond the proposed basics, in 2010/2012.

[HemiHead66]

You know what you can do with your market forces? You think having Wall Street running our healthcare is some how better than the Government? Who do you think got us where we are today? What, the last ten years of corruption wasn't enough for ya? The only thing these assholes care about is their stock price. You keep drinking that neo-con Kool-Aid and see where it gets ya.

[charlessmyth]

Partly yourself for not being vigilant about what your vote was used to instigate, and relying on having your money, including your pension fund, diverted to Wall Street and/or elsewhere without due consideration to how unrealistic rates of return could be produced, from the stock value. Such is the moral hazard of the mixed economy, where the assholes' stock price is also your stock price, and you are an asshole by association. Capitalism fixes this, and produces lowest cost healthcare.

[HemiHead66]

Oh yeah, just look how good Capitalism fixed us. Borrow Borrow Borrow till the bottom falls out, then start all over again. And I am an asshole by association. But it's not like I can call up Fidelity and say I want this fund without the healthcare. And if I can I sure as hell didn't know about it. To be honest with ya, I think healthcare shouldn't have anything to do with the market. That constant need for growth costs us to much. Just look at their profits, It'll make ya sick.

[charlessmyth]

Under capitalism, such borrowing would have been impossible. This is because money would be 100% backed by a commodity. Historically this is gold, which cannot be created from the monetisation of IOUs, like fiat-money. Healthcare is a combination of goods and services provided by people, like yourself, and who need to be paid for their labour and/or the use of the capital/money which had to be earned. Healthcare is not an inalienable right, but is an emotive subject, to be sure.

[HemiHead66]

Im sorry, you lost me. What kind system to we have in the U.S.?

[charlessmyth]

You have a mixed economic system with barely enough capitalism to prevent a total collapse from the effects of government intervention policies. Capitalism, to any significant degree, has not existed in the US, since WW1. As of now, you essentially have fascism, as in the owners of private property have very few rights to the property they worked for, including how much they may charge for their skills. The militarism of 1930's fascism has been replaced by the propaganda of fear mongering.

[HemiHead66]

Well what do ya know, you're right! But I'll tell ya one thing, if Obama didn't intervene this country would be in a world of hurt right now. I'm talking bread-line city.

[HemiHead66]

And what's with these morons like TheNewVideo saying Obama and the leftist Democrats need to be voted out of office or impeached immediately? They're not innocent, but it was the neo-cons that brought us to where we are today. Reagan and the Bush's destroyed us.

[charlessmyth]

Where you are today is the consequence of the bullets dodged, since 1913, at least. Voters must have a firm grasp of rights, before they can make judgements about the snake oil pandered to them at election time. As for Obama's intervention: Another bullet has been dodged, and no one can be impeached within the context of the 'living constitution' of government and its institutions, which voters have a responsibility towards, to avoid eating their own feet, at the bottom of a deeper hole.

[HemiHead66]

Oh, you're right about those voters. The only thing people care about in the U.S. is Brittany Spears. So tell me, what kind of healthcare do you have over there? Where is it that you're from, Belfast? Isn't that where they kill Government leaders that don't tow the line? And what kind of system do you got, socialist?

[charlessmyth]

We have the National Healthcare System (NHS), & can't afford it. The equivalent cost to you would be $700-billion p/a. The only people who threaten to kill government leaders who don't toe the line, are the IRA, who have yet to achieve the democracy of: One man, one vote, once. The accusation that US voters exclusively follow B Spears, is alluding to a scurrilous stereotype:-) We have the same political system as you, but propagate its virtues by claiming that the US is the home of capitalism.

[Bennybnyhc]

How much more obviously bias could this broadcast be?!

[Gillz17]

This bill is NOT the answer.

Health care does need fixing but the depth of control that govt would have given the passage of this bill is shocking. Eventually making private insuance illegal (page 16) and required assisted suicide training (page 425).

As people become informed they are against it. That is why the Dems are forcing it through. If this bill was so great they would want more people to read it.

Call your Senators and tell them NO on this bill. We can stop this bill!

[DillonX]

Was she fair & balanced?

Okay, Harry Truman tried what Barack wants & the insurance companies said we don't need to rush this.

IT'S NOW MORE THAN 50 YEARS LATER & THEY STILL WANT MORE DELAYS.

We need to act now & get rid of those in the Senate who're owned by the Health Insurance Companies - particularly Joe Liberman of Ct & Nelson of Neb. on the Democratic side & Vitter of La & Bunning of Ky on the Republican side!

[onlyrey]

The recession we are in started in 2008, we will come out of it one way or another. If we don't fix the fundamental problems (broken health care, energy independence) we will fall back into recession.

Lower taxes and stimulus money are just patches that help temporarily, the fundamentals are wrong: insurance companies + hospitals are breaking the American backs AND the United States' economy. With our oil consumption we are feeding rogue governments like Venezuela and Iran.
