Weiner Discusses Medicare at 55 with Maddow 12/9/09

"I'm gonna get a little hardball here..."

If so, that would be the first interview 'hardball' you ever lobbed at Congressman Weiner, Rachel. Right up through the 'Weinergate' scandal, you've taken everything this guy says at face value. When it comes to talking heads from the left, Rachel Maddow doesn't know the meaning of the word 'hardball'.

Congressman, please keep fighting for us...

...Do not support anything without a STRONG public option...

...We, the american people, NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[bungerman1000]

Rep. Weiner didn't seel anyone out, he has been , from day 1, been stating single payer instead of public option. Now what do we have? Single payer.

[wafflethug]

Single payer for all citizens, not just extending it for people 55+. There are approx 305 million people in the US

Ages 0-55: 232 million

Ages 55+: 73 million

What are the options for the 232 million who aren't qualified for medicare???

This health care bill is looking worse and worse everyday. I hope Reid loses his seat in 2010, because he's not pulling his weight on this.

[badmuffy]

What a traitor! Anthony stop lying and tell the people 55+ how much their medicare is going to cost them. Cause it's not medicare if it's not $100 a month!

The subsidies for the middle class are crap too. We are all going to be living under a bridge if they pass this.

@badmuffy: it's not gonna pass cause without a public option, the other democrats will vote NO on the bill. But it's sad instead of fighting for the people, they helping the insurance companies. Watch obama get voted out from romey come 2012.

[wafflethug]

So what happens to people who are under 55 years of age? We continue to get shafted?

[mortysand]

You abandoned us.
