TO ALL YOU F***ING MORONS: Listen to this story and give me a reason why this man should not have health insurance. OHH BUT HERE IS THE CHALLENGE.

You can not use the words socialism, waiting list, or big government.

THOSE ARE NOT LEGITIMATE ARGUMENTS THEY ARE TALKING POINTS POUNDED INTO YOUR STUPID BRAINS BY FOX NEWS. We are the only country too greedy to not give everyone health care. WOW!!!

[deeppurple28]

What the hell are you talking about, we can't spend more money on saving a life, what are you high? We need that money to build more MOABS, so that the quest for Iraq's WMD's can continue! Or the bringing of Democracy to Iraq by Bush, or finding Al Qaeda *sarcasm* or I don't even know why the fuck we are in Iraq anymore. Anyway screw that guy and lets spend money on BOMBS! YEAH.!

[RydanDenali]

i got a question. whats with all the talking? why dont we, as a nation, march to dc and demand that they cease or they will suffer? are we gonna wait until its too late? or is the "lazy american" stereotype gonna ring true? both "parties" are bullshitting us anyway. im with the american party, are you?

[gre9416]

Go to Canada and get on the waiting list!

[ChupacabraYetiElmo]

See what happens when you schmucks spend money like drunken sailors at a whore house?

Your trust is completely gone congress, none of you seem to have an ethical bone in your body and now you want the public to trust you with their bones?

[gre9416]

Yeah the government can't even run the country, now they want to control your health care. Why do they want to control everything, I thought this was a free country. That is what sets us apart. Now they want to put you in jail because you don't have health care? What?

[ChupacabraYetiElmo]

I don't trust my governments managing skills to do anything, they don't have a good track record of success or fiscal constraint on anything concerning the publics dollars. Why should I trust the government to run this? That is what you need to convince people of and not that people die. People will continue to die Mr Grayson, the government hasn't invented immortality and insurance is not immortality.

[ChupacabraYetiElmo]

So if your brother had no insurance, and you seem to be respectably successful, why didn't you help him Mr Grayson? By contributing to his health insurance plan? Why is it everyone else problem but it's not yours? It is not that I have no empathy towards your agruement but it does seem to lack a bit of empathy on your part? If you don't care about him, why should a complete stranger?

[edmctigue]

Alan, I am so sorry to hear of your brothers passing. It's great what you are doing, please continue.

[sozinhoemcasa1988]

Do u still think your country is the best in the world? I live in Portugal a small country compared to us with 10 million persons and we have Public Heath Care.

*FacePalm to u sirs*

[gerry1976]

Yes I want Universal Health Care.

I don't want to pay 4,000 Dlls for 45 minutes at the Emergency room for a broken pinky.

[CliffM85]

The humourous thing being that you're going to be speading your tax dollars on a system that covers religious health services. :D

[PhantasyGod]

Do u even know wtf u talking about? Do u know how stupid u look typing that BULLSHIT with 0 factual evidence. Do u know?

Add the three w's in front and a dot.

[CliffM85]

take out the space in health as well.

[PhantasyGod]

Those previsions are not in the bill just yet. And ur comment implying that we are already paying for these ret@rded religious practices. Only religious practice i believe is YOGA other then that i dont believe in praying why? i tried and it didnt work.

[larryjohnny]

@gerry1976 agreed ! they charged me $400 for a sling and wrist brace, I never paid, it went to collections, I still didn't pay.. haven't seen the bill since ! I called my healthcare insurance and asked them while in pain from a sprained wrist where I could go so that I would only have to pay my copay.. Then after my visit the doctors sent me $1000 bill and then a few days later the radiologist started sending his own bills separately ! What a racket and scam ! I refuse to be strong-armed !

[jerrydoubleu]

i love grayson

[jerrydoubleu]

HI Change, always nice to meet another psychotic troll. I do like Obama, I gave him a lot o' money. UP yours! lol

[ziger123456]

Healthcare is too late for so many. Healthcare cannot wait any longer. Even if the bill going through isn't perfect, it will cover the most needy, the working poor of our country.

[Investrite1]

This guy hates women calls them whores

[beardog321]

Actually, in the context of his statement regarding the former K Street Lobbyist , the word whore is meant to mean- A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.

To generalize like you did, and project your rationale, you are way off base. His statement was directed at one person. The term "political" whore is also used to describe a person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain. So, all your kerfuffle is all for naught. Dictionaries are useful.

[kaysandesses]

@beardog321 Excellent summation of the "corporate whore" issue. I find it both amusing and sad that the wingnuts have no other criticism of Grayson other than his propensity for not mincing words.

[jerrydoubleu]

that's stupid

[monkeypeopleofearth]

I wish more Democrats could be like Alan

[pokeyugi13]

republican is the politically correct term for red neck or caveman

[ProudAtheist90]

Alan if you read this..please run for president someday

[justonefirefly1]

Republicans don't give a shit. They are the sa,e fuckers that sent 5000+ Americans to die for oil. Save it for the intelligent - and there are very few here in america

[billthebutcher2]

Sad stories. Great work, Rep Grayson.
