Specter slams 'death panels' as malicious, vicious rumor

[nicenonya3]

Spector is only an expert in magic bullets and such!

LOL ELMASFINO SHE READ IT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BILL, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME GO READ THE SECTION SHE QUOTES.

LOL MiS and DIS information and plain lies clearly define YOUR logic

Bimbo Palin mentions "death panels" and unthinking wingnuts repeat it like parrots. If she ever pulled a Jim Jones and called on her followers to drink poison kool-aid, I wonder how many would follow her orders?

[jxford]

This is so messed up. That lady was genuine in her question but she had the Radical republican/ Insurance talking points sheet. I feel sad for this country when the government decides to do something for its people and The Republican Party has darkened the hearts of even the simplest honest people to thinking that the Government is the problem. Tell that to people who lost their jobs in the recession handed by GWB. Thats why as a republican Obama has my vote in 2012

He will have to STEAL PEOPLES =ESTATES! =Generational THEFT!

republican Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA), cosponsor of the 2007 Medicare End of Life Planning Act and proposer of an amendment similar to Section 1233, points out that all 50 states currently have some legislation allowing end-of-life directives and says emphatically that interpretations of Section 1233 as euthenasia are, in his words, "nuts".

[munseym]

Isakson issued a press release saying Obama misused his name. A provision he attached to a Senate health care bill would allow seniors to obtain help in formulating a living will something Isakson said is different from House language.

[wildwilly1111]

Thank you. I'm still trying to sort out the differences, but I believe his statement still stands that attempts to equate end of life planning with euthanasia are deranged.

[wildwilly1111]

Perhaps you can answer the question on which stealth243 has been silent:

Please specify the sections of the current healthcare proposals that you believe espouse medical insurance for illegal aliens.

[wildwilly1111]

Sorry, I missed "Tort Reform" on all the protest posters - must have been distracted by the screaming and swastikas.

I assume you mean caps on malpractice awards, which don't work - a point admitted by the nations's largest malpractice Insurer, GE Medical Protective, after a 2004 experiment in Texas. The CBO agreed, and added that evidence that caps decrease defensive medicine is "weak or inconclusive".

Next?

[stealth423]

i dont want to pay for illegals healthcare

[wildwilly1111]

Please specify the sections of the current proposals to which you object, with regard to healthcare coverage for illegal aliens.

[mackhoe]

getting paid. LOL these nut jobs actually want to keep paying for higher health care

[krazyblakk]

eksdem.. 100's of thousands die every year with no healthcare.. you guys are so prolife but are always talking about send other people kids to die in shitty wars and to deny heathcare to the need of the american people

[BlueSkies360]

yes, but we need market reforms, not bolshevic care.. The protest is not against the reform, it's against the government control

[wildwilly1111]

Please point us to the healthcare reforms that the protesters support.

[BlueSkies360]

why don't you do your research?

[wildwilly1111]

Thought so...

[BlueSkies360]

Enough listening to Olbermann... do your own research!

[eksdem]

Thousands would die when the new system goes into effect and they can't figure out how to navigate it.
