  • and I say hooray for Obama ,, for standing up to all this ignorance ..

  • and this is 2011 people not 1990.. no one dies from it people these days live with hiv normal healthy lives unless they are drug users or something .. I know a kid in my school .. who doesn't even take meds and is on a track team ..and he has a gf ..and he got hiv and he was actually born with it ....and also happens to be my good friend ..u people are so fucking unbelievable ..

  • @BigDanUSA85

    Nobody dies from AIDS? Really? How stupid are you? AIDS is literally a death sentence. People may live longer, but that doesn't mean they don't eventually die, much sooner than they should, from complications from it.

    Thats like saying nobody dies from cancer or diabetes. Because we have kemo and insulin. Its just plain stupid and a piss poor attempt at playing semantics.

  • @girzwald3 not anymore it aint ..its highly unlikely for someone to get aids these days unless they really have a weak immune system like junkies and stuff 2011 dude not 1992 lol .. ur miss informed

  • @girzwald3 people don't just live longer ..they live healthy lives .as well some even without meds .. ..u can't even compare it with cancer ..do some research .. and not the shit from 1990 .. but the current stuff .. death sentence .. ur funny lol

  • @girzwald3 Obama wanted to make a point also .. the severity of hiv is pretty much a thing of the past ..having a border ban on behalf of it is just plain silly ..think about it... .

  • Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of a man's penis. The five most sensitive areas of the penis are on the foreskin. The transitional region from the external to the internal foreskin is the most sensitive region of the fully intact penis, and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis.

    Fine-Touch Pressure Thresholds In The Adult Penis

    Sorrells et al.

  • Oh and by the way. The whole "judge not lest ye be judged" is both just a snippet of the entire thought, and out of context. That chapter encourages us to judge RIGHTEOUSLY. The bible in fact encourages people to judge.

    "The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment."

    "Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."

    I doubt you are even a christian. Its always the non Christians that throw out the "judge not" quote.

  • @girzwald3 funny .. how bout we recall the Marian persecutions in old England..The Spanish inquizition .. and the good ol.. Salem "witch" hunts .. all in the name of so called "christianity" .... now let us take all hiv patients and do the same right ? and in the name of "god" Hitler said cleansing the world of Jewish "plague" was the righteous thing to do ? Now lets continue his work shall we .. .. PEOPLE LIKE U MAKE ME SICK..ITS U WHO SHOULD BE ISOLATED..

  • @girzwald3 don't u fucking get it ? there is no such thing as humanely segregate or quarantee .. the concept by itself is inhumane.. and again I give u Hitler's Germany as an example .. what the ideals of a mad man and a psycopath can lead to.. You are pretty much proposing we do the same thing ..first we "quarantine" them and then before u know it ..gass chambers and concentrations camps all over again ...

  • @BigDanUSA85

    Slippery slope fallacy. Fail.

    Comparing quarantining people with a deadly disease to Hitler and gas chambers? Fucking fail.

    You lose.

  • @girzwald3 again asshole hiv is not a deadly disease ..and these days hardly anyone can get full blown aids .. people can live till like 80 years old with just the virus .. how ignorant are u ..?

  • @girzwald3 u see here lies the problem because of such ignorance and lack of knowledge people are still descriminated against and many treated as a deadly disease... these days it's a chronic disease at it's best ..but hardly deadly .. and u can't compare it with something like cancer ..

  • @girzwald3 u can just as well die from eating food ..or getting hit by a car ... its usually the lifestyle people lead that gets them killed .. if ur working out eat healthy .. u can live with hiv till ur 100 most likely ..key word here is lifestyle .. ofcourse if ur a druggie .u most likely won't make it .. but then again .. u don't need hiv to die from frugs I knew this one kid in my school overdosed on ecs.. so u can relax dude .. and let people live their lives ..instead of branding them

  • @girzwald3 and segregating them in ghettos like cattle..

  • @BigDanUSA85

    Its people like you, with such ignorance, blatant stupidity, political correctness, and denial of reality why we have AIDS, and why it spreads more and more each and every year. The problem is, people like you are dumb and giving people the exact WRONG impression. People like you treat it like its genital warts , and not like the deadly disease it is.

    Sorry, facts are facts. Millions have died and millions more will, all because people like you, wanted to be PC.

  • @girzwald3 dude please .. i am stating facts i couldn't give less of a fuck about political correctness .. whatever drown in ur ignorance for all i care .. but let others live their lives.. 

  • @girzwald3 and dumbass there is a huge difference between the hiv virus and aids ...

  • @girzwald3 and i haven't heard of anyone who would actually die from it these days ,, just a bunch of paranoid .. fanatics like u thinking the world is about to come to an end lol but the way did you hear come tomm judgement day lol ..time to run to church and pray like a good little puppet ..

  • Get educated on AIDS/HIV before you go spewing off at the mouth about leaving the ban active. I lived in the same house, ate the same food, drank from the same glasses and used the same bathroom as my mother for 15 yrs and never contracted it from her, nor did anyone I was around, EVER. GET EDUCATED! You can't get it from casual contact and the disease will spread unless people learn how it spread. Obviously you are too ignorant to read about it.

  • I heard a rumor of Arab terrorists using this ban lift to infect Americans. WATCH OUT!

  • Come on in AIDS! Open borders for the Mexicans! now open borders for the infected! Global leader in combating aids LMFO

  • youd be only worried if you are white trash whore.

  • is this fuckin guy nuts?

  • This is SILLY, the contrys on this planet there have the richest average citizen on this planet and highest adducations, this countrys NEVER had boarders closed for people with hiv, never ever. However its ironic that those few countrys also have the LOWEST hiv rate% on this whole planet even they have and always had open boarders for people with hiv. This countyes also pay 100% all medicin & threatment, even if its hiv or other desiases. USA could learn from them !!!

  • WTF

  • this is good.AIDS was made in the US labotory and it must go back to USA

  • AIDS wasn't made here and we have enough trouble here in the US people need to keep their sickness in their own country

  • Comment removed

  • Isnt it bad enough that so many ppl in this country are unknowingly & unfairly stricken with this desease??? Now we we bring in MORE infected....Which only puts MORE americans at risk....Isnt it time we protected our OWN ppl? Isnt it time we thought about AMERICANS FIRST, instead of puting the WORLD ahead of our own citizens? Dying from disease, hungar, Homeless...ect. Why are we saving the world instead of AMERICANS? THIS IS BULLSHIT!

  • America is going down the drain.

    when it is all said and done America will be the first to go down.

  • There is a guy on my space that is from the US that has HIV and is purposfully passing it on because he's mad that he has it whose to say that there aren't people from other countries JUST LIKE THAT? I agree taffygirl. Doesn't the saying go let sick dogs lie? Or something like that, let sick people stay in their own counrty and get treatment, if their country can't do it then why should we? I know that sounds mean but if my son can't go to the doctor free they shouldn't be able to either

  • AMEN to everything you said!

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry, not simple... as HIV is not just contracted thru sex. As I said, we have enough of our own ppl dying from this... we dont need more.

  • So let me get this......So there is a pandenic for the swine flu, which is far less dangerous than the seasonal ful........Yet we are letting ppl with HIV into the country???? Dont we have enough ppl dying from this affliction? Dont we have enough problem with ppl becoming infected? Dont we have enough ppl we are trying to save & cure? NOW we are going to bring in MORE....Which will only raise the chances of infection.....Dont we spend enough saving our own ppl, now we need to save the world????

  • to bad HIV/AIDS is a manmade virus and there is already a cure that the goverment hides from us

  • yep! Im sure Obama will expose the cure someday. There are cures out there actually.......

  • Let me guess... the cure is praying to God? or maybe eating lots of grass or walking backwards for 10 miles?

    Tell me if I am wrong. What is the cure?

  • Google it!

  • Black helicopters.

  • one word "Eugenics"

  • They are doing this while shoving the swine-flu hype at us.....hypocricy.

  • Obongo is a piece of shit.

  • Give him a chance............

  • Except the problem is that voting for Obama a year ago was a fashion statement, much like it was once a fad to buy Beanie Babies, pet rocks and Cabbage Patch Kids. But instead of ending up with a ridiculous dust-collector at the bottom of your closet, the Obama fad leaves you with higher taxes, a reduced retirement fund, no job and a one-year wait for an MRI.

  • He was just so far stupid enough to give the money to the banks......... NOW THEY ALL COULD FAIL...............

  • Now just more people that will want that free health care that's not even close to being free....Just think about how many will come to America when the health care is free to everyone...He wants to crash the dollar and open the door to a one world Government.....He is not dumb at all everything he does is planned out to a tee by G. Soros do some research find out about that guy....We all better wake up before nothing is left.

  • This is retarded. These people have a communicable and lethal disease.

    You don't contain and fight a disease by letting more people with it mingle with others. It doesn't matter if you have to go to great lengths to get it.

    One person who gets it because of someone who came here and gave it to them somehow is one person too many.

    What if a rapist rapes the traveler, then rapes someone else? Im sure all of you feeling warm and fuzzy about this will make them feel so much better.

  • @girzwald3

    Same as I said below...

    So you all gonna blame Obama when some American has sex with a foreigner that is inflicted with AIDS/HIV? Seriously, there is so much AIDS/HIV in America already. The one who is gonna have unprotected sex is at just as much risk as the needle pushers. Believe me, I know first hand. My mother... got it from my stepdad who was a needle pusher!

  • @Tyna627

    yes, I infact will. Because who is the one that let that foreigner in? Obama did.

    My statement of "You don't contain and fight a disease by letting more people with it mingle with others. " still stands and is unbeatable.

    Its this exact same sentiment that let AIDS spread in the first place. Instead of quarantining the infected people, they let them mingle. Cause they made it an issue about oppressing gays. Now look whats happened.

  • @girzwald3

    Ok! Let me put this plain and simple so maybe you will understand it.

    1.) IT TAKES TWO!

    2.) Stop blaming Obama when its the two involved in sex... Obama didn't make anyone have sex with a foreigner.

    3.) It is NOT just gays who have AIDS! You wanna lock up everyone with it. Nice! *rolls her eyes* People have a right to LIVE no matter what they have. If you have sex with someone and contract AIDS you gonna blame Obama for YOUR stupidity? DON'T HAVE SEX! IT IS THE BEST PROTECTION!

  • @Tyna627

    Look. Im not stupid. You are. I understand what you are saying. And you are wrong.

    1. No shit.

    2. Obama is the one who let the person with AIDS in. So, hes at fault if anyone gets AIDS in this way. What if this foreigner rapes someone? It will be of little consolation that he goes to jail for attempted murder to someone who now has AIDS.

    3. My statement still stands and is undefeatable. You don't fight a disease by letting more carriers mingle.

  • @Tyna627

    And no people don't fucking have the right walk around with whatever they have if it can get other people very sick. Or are you ok with someone with TB hanging out around you?

    I love how you empasize that people have a right to "Live"no matter what they have.Do you know what to quarantine means you stupid bitch? It means to isolate them,not kill them.

    Obama is the one that let them in, he will be to blame if any infections result. End of story. You are wrong, you, dumb, bitch.

  • @girzwald3 u damn nazis.. the same thing Hitler did to the Jews ..hiv is not the worst thing out there no one dies from it these days .. u psycopaths have no feelings ... u thing hiv is the worst thing out there u dumb fuck ? who is next cancer patients ? down syndrome patients...who the fuck are u to say who lives and who dies ???? qurantee segregate ???? kill ??? what are these animals ? .. u can go to a dentist one day and get hiv and then see how u gonna sing then ? u filth ..

  • @girzwald3 let me tell u this shit for brains no one is perfect everyone has something..what if u have a kid and he turns out to be mentally sick are u gonna use euthanasia on him.. u nazi fuck ? ..i can't stand u elitists idealists conservatives assholes .. lock them up kill them throw away the key wtf ? these are people .. omg I have no words and then u call yourrselves christians..unbelievable ..

  • @girzwald3 how about we isolate ur dumb ass for being narrowminded and ignorant .. I am pretty sure u have certain defects .. that u don't want people to know about and insecure about ...or let me guess u think ur a superman right ?

  • @girzwald3 You're the one who is retarded since the moment you call HV/AIDS a "lethal disease". A study from the World Health Organization in 2010 (HIV-related restrictions on entry, residence and stay in the WHO European Region: a survey) arrived to the conclusion that "the public health justification for HIV-related travel restrictions is inadequate and even irrational". Now, do you think you know more than the World Health Organization? Don't make me laugh. Obama did the right thing.

  • I dont agree with this policy. But that is only because I am HIV negative.

    So maybe he is right

  • OBAMA!!! Only the coolest guy on Planet Earth:)

  • I'm guessing that those who oppose this change support the notion that America should expel all of its citizens who have HIV?

  • Yep. Send them along with the communists, homosexuals without AIDS too, and environmentalist. Send them to Canada where there is free health care and gays can marry.

  • @TAMARLANE

    My mother - Died in '95 - AIDS.

    My stepfather - needle pusher - Died in '92 - AIDS.

    I know the reality of AIDS!

    The person with AIDS (who had consensual sex or needle pushed) made the choice to be careless. Stop blaming Obama. You are a victim of your own mistakes. My mother always said... "The smartest people are the ones who learn from others mistakes." My mother never laid blame on someone else. She took responsibility for her actions.

  • @Tyna627 These people making their choices to do whatever they want would be fine if they didn't impact the rest of  the people who pay for their mistakes.

  • @TAMARLANE

    THIS is where you only lay blame on the person who is HIV+ and not the one having consensual sex with them! It takes two people to make a baby. It takes two people to spread a disease. The one to blame? BOTH of them!

  • @Tyna627 1982. What would have been the outcome if we had set up an Island and transferred all aids infected people to the Island. Even those who were unfortunate enough not to have had consensual sex, or consensual needle sharing, the hemophiliacs who contracted the virus from blood transfusions.. I researched it then and took the position then, same as now, that to protect society from this disease, we need to quarantine it.

  • @Tyna627 Your mom sounds like she was really stupid. Give advice but not take it herself.

  • @TAMARLANE

    Apparently you pretty ignorant afterall. My mother contracted it in the early 1980's. Think about it! It was not really out in the open yet. Yes, she made mistakes as all humans do. That does not make her stupid. It makes her smart enough to learn that she made mistakes in her life and did not want my brother and I learning from her experiences. Nobody is perfect and I am 100% sure you aren't either. She made a mistake that took her life but not before she learned to live.

  • @TAMARLANE

    Lock them away? How bout locking away hateful people like you. The world would be a better place if you all were locked away in cages. Maybe people could actually live in harmony. Judge not lest ye be judged.

  • @Tyna627

    You are such a fucking hypocrite. You are ok with locking up "hateful" people. But not ok with humanely quarantining people to contain a DEADLY disease. Stupid. Fucking stupid is what you are.

    Look you stupid cunt. Fact is, if people were quarantined at the start, it would have ended there.

    Its ironic, you say not to judge, yet you are calling us hateful and saying we should be locked up! That sounds like judging to me. You stupid cunt.

  • @girzwald3 "humanely" quaranteen people a "deadly" disease yep thats how it starts .. and then we have euthanasia programs before we know it Hitler's Germany all over again ..Nazis also considered gass chambers a "humane" treatment ..to Jewish question .. Where does it STOP! ?

  • Stupid

  • I've always wished that we could change and let all the aids people come over here so we can all pay to treat them with this superb health care that's going to be absolutely free. It's going to be great. We're all going to get everything free from big brother and big brother cares about us so much. They are just too good to us people. We don't deserve such an honest, caring government. Everything they do just shows how much they really care about you. Worship them and maybe you'll get a crumb.

  • bring it all in monkey

  • sure am happy we got rid of that old world fear that aids is contagious or a health threat.

    this is great news for the doctors bill that just passed.

  • OK, this is good. Now if you could get back to closing Gitmo and pulling out of Iraq we will begin to understand that you are DOING SOMETHING YOU PROMISED!

  • This man is absolutely crazy, hell aren't Americans realising what a total knob they voted as president?

  • You are right, no one should be stigmatized by this disease, or any disease. THE BILL BUSH SIGNED is lifting the ban.

    What OBAMA signs here is the Ryan White Bill that renews the funding for AIDS treatment

    (This Ryan White Bill had been renewed every 4 years for the 4th times)

  • You've already said this several times, we get it. it was Bushes Fault.

  • OK, people.

    getting a visa to come to America is not like making a phone call.

    You need reasons and supports to come. Like a family member.

    For those who is just traveling they cannot stay long at all. If you are that sick, you won't be able to get in any how.

    Treatment in other countries are 1/5 to 1/100 of the cost here. Like Bill Clinton introduced the $1 drug in Africa. People with clear mind won't come here for treatment.

  • He wins the Nobel peace prize & we get thrown under the bus for it. that's his trophy for selling out our country.

  • Look it up.

    BUSH SIGNED THE BILL on JULY 30 2008.

    It was a done deal back then.

  • You get a flu, TB, far far more easier.

    You get cancer married to a heavy smoker.

    for HIV, you need to exchange body fluid.

    Kissing is fine. You need 1/2 gallon of saliva.

    PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO GET EDUCATED ABOUT HIV.

  • You go first.....where have I heard that before. "he won't bite if you don't make any sudden movements I read it in a book"........I had a better chance if I bolted for the door!

  • There are over 1.1 million Americans with HIV+.

    It's here for decades.

    It's a treatable disease now for decades.

    ONLY 12 countries, like Iraq, still have this archaic ban.

    These days, there are flu and all kinds of things out there. You just need to take care of yourself.

    Letting HIV+ people in is not going to kill you.

    It's not like a flu.

    It is ignorance that kills people.

  • BUSH SIGNED THE BILL IN JULY 2008!

    OBAMA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS BILL.

    TODAY, he is just signing the extension of the Ryan White Bill which had been extended the past 16 years.

  • this is OBAMA. Nothing to do with BUSH

    Qjit hiding behind Bush for all of OBAMA's inadequacies and mistakes.

  • Yeah, well except people with serious diseases in out country just as long you don't bring in any living plants through customs. Now ever poor bastard in other countries will start to bombard the U.S. for free medical treatment(s), in addition to affecting people health and wealth. Thanks a lot Mr. Pres [sarcastic remark for those who are ignorant]

  • Obama is a firm believer in the Cloward-Piven Strategy in his quest to bankrupt America, so he and his friends can remake us in the image of those other failed Marxist regimes that have gone before us.

  • No one lives in a billion dollar house to my knowledge, but why should we as americans be limited to how good we can do, i don't like some of these executives who are bad making a lot, but i don't mind people who are athletes, business people, and other people who are doing the right thing and aren't hurting the country to be limited. Btw 200.000 dollars is not rich compared to these wall street execs, obama needs to learn that !

  • BUSH SIGNED THE BILL BACK IN July 2008!!!

    Obama is just announcing it now.

  • reminds me of my mom saying "if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" Just because Bush did it doesn't mean he has to keep following the same failed Bush Policies!!!! We all know how well those policies worked out for Bush!!!

  • The correct way to deal with the aids crisis is to quarantine those who have aids in there homeland where 50% of the population has HIV. While sending medical treatment overseas not to bring aids to the Unites States. Why did he promise this early in a speech to homosexual activists?

  • Obama is nuts, like seriously. Do we have to look nice to the whole world?

  • This guy will do anything and everything to further his agenda of making America a communist country. Importing aids infested people is not smart. Aside from the obvious risk of propagation, these people require very expensive medications. Means tested aids infected people maybe. Carte Blanche aid infected people is just stupid.

  • this is like watching a train wreck in slow motion,

  • yay!!!!

    Lets get the populated infected. I'm sure this will decrease medical care cost on the government health care plan.

    THIS STUPID, IS OBAMA SUICIDAL?

    WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP TO THIS FRAUD?

  • yet, you still ban service men and women from joining if they have it, no sense.

  • this is stupid

  • YAY. I think this is a good decision. We know so much more about AIDS Today, and understand spreading the disease is not as easy as originally thought.

  • I like the laws. In fact I think they need to be implemented stronger not weaker. Aids is scary.

  • You are right. There is no HIV blood test requirement for entering the US.

    Here's how you know someone has HIV/AIDS when entering the US. They bring their medications with them.

    So people who are managing the disease and who often have viral loads that are undetectable cannot enter the country as tourist.

    However people who (1) don't know they are in infected or (2) are not on medication or (3) simply forgo their medication for the visit CAN enter the US.

  • In essence, the policy old policy actually INCREASED the chance of infection being transmitted to US citizens. Not very wise.

  • Comment removed

  • wtf we actually did this?

  • i love how ignorant and foolish most people are.

    nice comments people!

    shall the rest of us wait for you to catch up in evolution?

    or maybe the problem is the dismissal of such a concept as evolution, and an acceptance of the 6 day with a day off fable.

  • I'm still waiting for the rest of the monkeys that never evolved to get with the program. They haven't evolved in thousands of years of human existence. You would think one of them somewhere would decide to have an evolved baby since they did it so long ago. Wonder why they stopped? That fairy tale is so very hard to believe. Why don't you scientists go back to blowing up the moon to find out if water is there and quit telling us what's in the rest of the universes. You don't know jack!

  • lmao

    deluded much?

  • ignorance is indeed bliss i guess.

  • Comment removed

  • idiot does anyone currently have to take an AIDS test to enter the country? yes or no?

    its a stupid restriction and its unfairly prejudicial towards someone with an illness thats not contagious by casual contact.

    This bn should have never been implemented in the first place

  • Thank You For Posting; Let these idiots with h.i.v./a.i.d.s. live with Obama's wife, and children, Obama is a typical house-nigger, without a sense of decency.

    Cheers!

    Valkyrie Ziege Mourne

  • wtf......

  • About fucking time!

  • Obama is a moron. Pure and simple.

  • UN-FREAKIN'-REAL!!!

  • Uhhhh, this will kill people Mr. President....

  • yeah because aids can be had just by talking to people you fucking moron.

    If someone is stupid enough to have sex with someone they dont know without a condom then they deserve whatever they get

  • First, what's with the name-calling. You don't even know me...

    Second, how would you even know they have AIDS/HIV? Bringing infected people into a country that's pretty much OPEN to "have sex first, ask questions later" is not a very wise thing to do....

  • how exactly is the ban preventing HIV positive people from coming right now?

    Case in point, you travel to mexico fuck a stripper get aids. There is no way to prevent you from re-entering the country as people dont have to take aids tests everytime they travel.

    Its 100% illogical to even have this law, the only people it targets are people who are known to have the virus.

    Also again if your dumb enough to have unprotected sex with someone you dont know then you deserve anything you get

  • Stop trying to blame the government for people's bad decisions

  • How about the nurse that gets stuck with an infected needle?

  • davidpark68 The chance of catching it that way is actually close to non-existent. That's a fact, being stung by a needle is not very dangerous when it comes to HIV:)

  • You go first & prove me wrong.........My wife is a nurse in a hospital, she's going to freak when I tell her this!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • davidpark68 It happened to me once, you see..and my doctor told me that it actually takes a significant, visible amount of blood to get infected that way, not just an un-clean needle. But of course weird things happen sometimes, things there are one in a thousand chance of happening and so on..but in general needles are not very dangerous. : )

  • I know 3 nurses with hepatitis from a needle stick that would differ with you.

  • What does that have to do with a travel ban?

  • what makes you think they wont need to use our hospitals while they're here or that they're not coming here TO use our hospitals.

  • What makes you think their not doing it right now? and also last time I checked americans have AIDS too.

    So your point is really a moot point

  • HIV is a threat. Common sense.

    Encourage treatment? You mean pay for their treatment. Give people with AIDs free health care. The hell with the rest of America.

  • why not just give EVERYONE free healthcare?

  • Really it's FREE? Damn, why not. It doesn't cost nothing. =D

  • raise taxes across the board. Stop wasteful spending on wars.

    Raise tax on the rich.

    there you go free healthcare.

    No need for insurance companies who make money by driving up the price of health care.

  • 3star2nr

    How do you intend to increase taxes when the United States is in a recessionary gap? Over 15% unemployment nationwide.

    Raising taxes on those people not working will do more harm than good.

    Maybe you have not noticed, but businesses are fighting to stay in business. The economy is not doing good.

    Please understand, I want the health care problem fixed as you do. Hospitals should NOT be businesses. It's morally and ethically wrong.

  • Heres what you do. You raise taxes across the board and remove the employer mandates. That way small business no longer have to pay to insure people. That will help small businesses big time since insurance is one of their biggest expenses.

    You tax people more but we go to a single payer system where everyon is covered.

    Yes you may end up paying 1000 more to the government but you would no longer need to pay a 8000/year insurance premium

    The government would pay all dr bills for you

  • Just like that lady who was so happy that Obama was elected President. Now, she said, he will fill up my gas tank and pay my mortgage.

    No such thing as a free lunch.

    You are probably too young to know about that saying. It has been true since the beginning of time.

  • who said their was? but their are more efficient ways of spending money.

    I am for raising taxes to pay off the deficit and guarantee care to all citizens.

    Vs Paying taxes, and paying insurance companies to lobby politicians, or paying for some asshole who doesnt give a fuck about me's private jet, new ferrari or billion dollar mansion.

    Its up to you whats more important. Spending money to heal the sick, or spending money to make CEOs rich

  • I'm for reform. Not going from one extreme as described by you, to another extreme as proposed by the libs in Congress

  • dude i understand your skepticism, but its actually very simple. Its not extreme at all its just a simpe matter of pay for health care or pay profits. thats it.

  • How about..............No

  • why not? do you like paying money to insurance companies for them t bribe politicians, or buy yachts and billion dollar houses?

    I dont know but id rather my healthcare money actually go to health care

  • Not any more than I like watching my paycheck getting smaller & smaller. I don't know but id rather my money go to me.

  • Thats precisely what would happen if we had universal health care via single payer.

    Rather than your check go directly into some asshole on wall street's pocket, it would go into treating you when your sick.

    All insurance companies do is pay a bill. Might as well remove the profit motive all together and send as much money into actually healing people rather than to some douche bag or politician

    Plus the increase in tax would be negated by the fact that you no longer need to pay premiums,

  • I say BS, not only would I have to pay what I'm already Paying but my taxes would go up to pay for someone elses Health care insurance.

  • your already paying for someone elses health care. Thats how insurance works. The difference is your paying for health care plus profits

  • wow you kinda twisted that around. People in a group pool they're money. as you pointed out people without HCI don't. if I had to pay for someone outside my pool that don't then it would be an extra burden on my paycheck outside the pool I'm already paying for. I'm sure you already knew this.

  • I guess as long as the fed has printing presses everything is free.

  • Yes, and they can pay back the Federal debt with inflated dollars hot off the press.

  • LOL that would be a never ending loop, create dollars to pay dollars we owe. each cycle it would loose value.

  • the best way to stop that is to increase revenue by raising taxes or cut spending ie the 2 wars

  • Man, you just love to go diving into someone elses pocket. rattle Obama's pockets for a while, he's the one that promised you change, Leave mine aloneI agree Cut all the spending, give the Printing presses a break. Better yet End the Fed, shut them down for good.

  • sigh...

    Ok lets do it your way. Lets repeal ALL taxes. And let the government stop printing money. Where do you propose they get revenue to keep the country running?

    The government prints money and borrows, because it needs money to keep running.

    The responsible thing to do would be to raise revenue from more taxes or to cut spending.

    Politicians are too chicken and people too short sighted to see the greater good. Its the penny wise and dollar foolish mentality

  • Better yet, lets review all policies & keep the one's that are constitutional. let's confine the federal government to it's constitutional duties & let the states decide the rest like it is supposed to work.

    do you think the government is supposed to operate on printed money? do you know how high our taxes would be if we paid for government spending through taxes? the Federal government is too big & you want to increase it, if you paid your share of the taxes you would have a different view.

  • One of the things I liked about Barry

    Goldwater was his position on congress passing laws.

    He said they should not pass one every day, they should delete one every day.

  • put it this way can you pay bills with no source of income?

    Your not seeing the bigger picture or thinking logically

    We go to single payer, get rid of all insurance companies. We raise taxes across the board rather than print new money or borrow. We cut spending on the 2 wars

    We tax the rich who can afford MORE

    problem solved. Guaranteed health care. More money in everyone's pockets because no more premiums. A large purchasing pool means lower prices, and we can negotiate for cheaper drugs

  • the rich already pay more, how about you pay your share? I'm all for a fair tax over our current system, it would do away with most of the IRS, the loopholes & encourage savings. A large purchasing pool just means some will pay into it & some will be subsidized. it will be the same as our tax system, 20% will pay 80% of it.

  • davidpark68 I was just about to mention hepatitis in my comment, you know..but I left it out. Hepatitis-viruses you need a lot fewer of to contract the disease. There it will often suffice with a simple needle sting, that's correct. But as I said, the HIV-virus is different. Of course you don't want hepatitis either, so one should always be careful. : )

  • THIS WASN'T THE CHANGE I WANTED

  • youtube FALL OF THE REPUBLIC

  • LOL That was so well said. best comment ever. This wasn't the change I wanted either.... a change for the worst....

  • thats because you didnt vote for Obama.

    i.e. what you want is irrelevant to what the greater society wants.

    This is democracy 101. Dont like it you'll get your chnce to vote him out come 2012

  • I don't recall reading about his "letting diseases into the country" policy.

  • yeah because no one in the USA has HIV right now.

    Your brilliant by the way

  • "Your" pretty sweet yourself.

    Combat AIDs by letting it combat itself. I want nothing to do with it and I'm sure millions of Americans would agree with that sentiment.

  • there won't be anything left by 2012

  • Its thinking like that which we REAL AMERICANS want to hear from small minded hate mongers like yourself.

    There will be nothing left all right. Nothing left FOR YOU!

  • I Know, right? the Socialists will drain the working man of everything if we let them. I think we need to slow them down a little, maybe throw a monkey wrench into the gears (for those of you non working types, a monkey wrench is sort of like a pipe wrench without teeth)
