The commodification of human health is fundamentally a good thing in that allows stakeholders to extract value from policy holders in exchange for truncated service.
1/8/10: Brian Lamb, the C-SPAN CEO, wrote to leaders in the House and Senate Dec. 30 urging them to open "all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings," to televised coverage on C-SPAN, imploring Congress to open up the last leg of health care "reform" negotiations to the public, as some top Democrats lay plans to hash out the final product among themselves...
"The C-SPAN networks will commit the necessary resources to covering all of the sessions LIVE and in their entirety," Lamb wrote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to object to the premise behind the request. Sen. Barack Obama first pledged opening up legislative negotiations to C-SPAN cameras during a Democratic presidential primary debate with Sen. Hillary Clinton in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 2008.
Here we are a month later...and stilll Barack is making his dirty Chicago deals behind closed doors...anyone see it on C-span? No? Me either...the man has a serpents tongue...forked and twisted.
"...who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies..."
So companies who currently provide financial protection from costly medical emergencies or produce life saving medications are across the board enemies of the people?
Every time one of these people speak about drug and insurance companies they are either evil in general with some exceptions or just all evil.
"Republicans locked Democrats out during the Iraq War preparations..."
So in Obamaland, two wrongs now make a right? Don't justify bad behavior with more bad behavior. You know, there are those of us who are fed up with both parties.
Uh, The republicans were DEFENDING OUR NATION, and the democrats are attempting to TAKEOVER MEDICAL CARE IN AMERICA!! This is AFTER all the town hall meetings, and polls that ALL show that half the nation is against government run medical care.
They weren't defending America - they were attacking Iraq.
You're right about the health care takeover though.
Both instances illustrate not only a lack of respect from one "party" to another, but the lack of respect our Government has for us.
The reason they hide from each other is because they're afraid the other "side" will inform us of what is going on behind those doors to gain an upper hand in the next election cycle.
91Roadwarrior you scum of the earth traitor , you claimed to me you hate killing but video after video i find your pro killing and regularly practice deceit , i will wipe my ass with the bible from now on
There are other secret meetings being held on immigration. Right after the holiday season (or maybe before) you'll see a new amnesty bill for illegals. Why do you think Joe Wilson yelled out "You Lie!". He already knows Obama's plan. Obama won't give healthcare to illegals. He'll just make them LEGAL!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If your're that ignorant to think that Obama will singlehandedly grant amnesty to illegals, then don't understand the way government works in the US. Stop listening or watching pundits spout there bullshit on Fox Talking Points, CNN, MSNBC, or whenever you get your "news"from. Do some research on your own, and you will realize that Joe Wilson was just playing to his good ol' Southern base when you cried out like a lunatic.
the times in america bring me to think about WWII when germany was loosing the war but still the propaganda was claiming that they are wining and even when they where sending kids to fight the public was still in the illusion they could win. this is america now, everything is falling apart, the take over of the oligarchs is a fact although not outspoken, freedom is dead but the illusion is still there. PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!

Secret meetings? It's called winning elections. Dems control all aspects of the legislative branch and control the Executive branch. Get a real plan Repubs, then maybe you will be taken seriously. The summer protests made you fools look like people who are out of touch with the rest of Americans who want the public option (65% of Americans) Quit with the hyperbole and stop the scare tactics and learn how negotiate in an intelligent way, and maybe your Party will rebound in 2010 mid-terms.
As a dem of 30 yrs I am upset that the transparency promised is not there, nor is the promise of working across party lines. There are about 40 bills the repubs have presented but dems won't even look at. I was a protester for the first time in my life, so I don't think I was out of touch with the rest of America....many dems were there as well. Don't know what poll you are citing (msnbc maybe lol) but 65% do not want gov. run healthcare! It is not about party, it is about our country!

"A blood letting"? Give me a break. Stop drinking the tea-party 'tea". The current leaders of the Republican Party are a joke. Maybe someone will come along and put some class back into the Party, until then, tea-bag away!
Who was it again that put Dems in control? The left? Nope.
The independents. Look at Obama/Congress approvals. As soon as their approvals fall below 52.5%, the Left is shedding independent voters. It's already happened. Add to that, Obama isn't running in 2010--The younger voters and African American voting percentages will fall to their historical usuals. Now add to that, Conservatives who sat the last one out cuz of McSame, will jump back in.
Dems will lose 50+ seats in the House and another 5+ in the senate. Biggest landslide since the 1994 Republican Revolution (which left-wing nuts couldn't see coming either).

Republican Revolution? Your standards of change are pretty low if you call 1994 a "Revolution". So what are the Republicans going to do if they do get 50 House seats and 5 Senate seats? Will they continue laissez faire attitudes and low taxes, and increased Government spending like they posited after 1994 until 2006? Or will they actually return to the conservative principals pre-New Deal epoch? With fools like Cantor, Boehner, and Pence in charge, don't get your hopes up.
Awesome vid! I love the cigarette smoke and the soda cans. Because that's probably exactly how its coming down. Call the dogs OUT! Do Not Let Them get away with another of your hard earned buck, America. Make their phone lines liquid. Its primal scream time. Be like Rick James,be a super freak. They do not understand nice. I have tried. Fax-Email-Write for the sake of your children.

you people are idiots. paranoid idiots. paranoid racist idiots. if you can't work towards a solution and only tear down the hard work of others, then get the fuck out of the way! you can follow the rest of gop.
So it's ok for obamacorn to give the federal reserve more power? It's ok for him to bail out wall street and bail on main street just as bush did? You need to sober up like the rest of America is. obamacorn is nothing he promised and everything to fear!
Very good. Thanks for continuing to bring these things to the surface. I used to believe that the lib/dems where generally well intentioned, but a misguided group. With the recent scandals and lies being exposed about the left, (ACORN being one of the most recent) all but the most leftist radicals of the population no longer trust the Lib/Dems. I'm learning to see them as corrupt and perhaps even evil in some cases. The worst thing you can say about the Reps is they were greedy. But never evil.
...........Obama is now having .....CZARS; creepy con men and Chicago style GRIFTER = MEETINGS!...........so now we can start using the word = CULT!..........when we watch what is going on here!.........something is looking so WRONG! .........and it appears it will END in the emptying of our countries ~wallets!~

TRICKED by Democrats AGAIN!
The deficit is Bushs fault??
CBS NEWS
10-21-09
The Treasury Department announced that the federal government ran a $1.42 TRILLION BUDGET DEFICIT in 2009, about 10% of GDP.
That's the largest nominal budget deficit in history, & the largest as a percentage of GDP since World War II.
From 1789 to 2008, the federal government borrowed about $5.8 trillion!
In just two years, 2009 & 2010, the government will borrow nearly ***$3 TRILLION MORE***!
