John let's face it we have a lemon for A leader of our country. He has done nothing for the good of the people. His mouth spews nothing but lies and BS. He doesn't have a clue how to lead. When are we going to kick him out? If he had a regular job. He would have been fired years ago. No one would hire this golf playing, big spender of tax payers money . He would be on the streets with his don't care attitude of his country and fellow man. Get rid of this leech. We don't need him. He is ruinin
He's a Christian, so he knows that Jesus wants us to screw over the working class, the poor, the sick, and the elderly--and benefit the wealthy and powerful.
Regulations?
OIL SPILLS ARE GOOD! The oil provides lubrication that helps fish reproduce better.
Go John!
2.3 MILLION AMERICAN JOBS were outsourced in the last 10 years.
John's smart. He won't stop this cause he knows that by sending our jobs to India we are earning what they call "good karma."
If you think that the Federal Government does not have the "Right" (God Given) to make you purchase a product that you do not want to purchase AND you live in the Great State of Ohio, please sign the Healthcare Freedom Ammendment so we can get it on the ballot. Then it will be an Issue on the ballot for every voter. This will be an Ohio Constitutional Ammendment that says the Feds can not force you to buy health insurance. Google "The Ohio Project"
Ahh Mr. Boehner, please stop asking real questions that would require real answers. Barack doesnt work that way, pal. Thats too much like WORK, that would require INTELLIGENCE. Barrys only good for tearing up, getting a far away look in is eyes, and pontificating about how he is gonna recede the oceans, and heal the planet. Between Hoop games and Golf, & WH partying with his former "pals" with Booze & Waghu beef...all he manages to squeeze in are Trips to the View, Leno, and constant vacations.
John Boehner is a voice of reason in the sea of insanity that is our current Government. Thank you John for calling the Obama and all his lackeys on the carpet over and over again.
Pellegrino80 you are a fool if you really believe what you wrote but then those who still buy into Obama lies and misdirections all are!
If you don't like freedom move! America is for Patriots John Speaks for all true Americans! Your groundless accusations and grade school level slurs don't change the facts!
Why are Boehner and his little band of merry friends in the republican party bent on being nothing but obstacles to progress? Why do they support policies that have been proven to harm the average American? Why are they so hypocritical? Why do they go out of their way to cater to their corporate masters, instead of working to improve our country? Why would any true American take Boehner and his GOP clowns seriously, when all they stand for is political advantage? GOBAMA 2012!!
President Obama's commission examining the spill has no industry or local expertise, but is instead loaded with environmentalists loons searching for a justification to institute cap and trade energy taxes. Ineptitude. Incompetence. Inattention is consistent across the Gulf, but perhaps the best description came from a Louisiana official who told our team that the federal response was “stuck on stupid.” Indeed.
Mr. John Boner why don't you focus on helping Obama and approve his stimulus package and reforms to fix america? Instead you have only been focusing on leaving work early to go to bars to get drunk and working on your fake tan lines... You can't trick us Mr. Boner...
Oyster population decimated by oil, Thank you John Boner, John McCain and Sarah Palin for destroying america our whole livelihood along Louisiana... You RepubliCONs supported offshore drilling, now look at what we have left nothing... Every RepubliCONs should be kicked out of office permanently, they don't serve for the people, and by the people, they ONLY serve big companies...
@WilliedaFoe Democrats have controlled congress since 2006.. They can do a whole lot, with oversight they can audit companies and regulate them, I wasnt talking about bills. What were these Democrats doing for a whole year in congress they COULD HAVE done something so could have Republicans both funked up badly
Hey Murphy... one of the 3% that "don't prefer" Canadian HC lives across the street from me... and I have spoken with 2 other friends of his (from Canada) on the subject of healthcare and they hate it, claiming our system was a lot better. Still haven't met anyone from Canada that likes their HC. Maybe that's why they moved here? Maybe you should move to Canada. Wake up. Obamacare is not about healthcare, it's about socialism, you dope.
@classicallady You're just jealous obviously. He's 60. Looks pretty good. Do you listen to people? Or are you refusing to listen to something that is against your "religion" of uh..Marxism? What is it?
@julieification Looking at your page....yep...average intellect of the populace who vote for these CONS. I will not waste my time with your blissful ignorance.Homeschooled INDEED
I can't help but notice the people in the back look like they are in a trance, but this is typical of people who follow a cult of personality to their own demise.
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup. France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America were named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon and now an orange Senator named 'Boner'
he is attacking you because you are arresting progress of this country mr. Boehner. You are retarded if you don't think he is focused on the gulf. He is focused on reforming regulation of wall street, and it will make progress, with no help from your party. He can't cut spending, because he is trying to get the economy on track. You are out of touch if you don't think he is focused on creating jobs. did you forget about the stimulus bill mr. boehner? You can't trick us mr. republican.
@Kyanlikethepepper You say that Obama can't cut spending because he is trying to get the economy on track. Please cite one example in history when Federal Spending had a verifiable positive effect on the economy. It never helps and in fact always makes things worse. If we want the economy back on track, the fastest way to get there is to dramatically cut spending immediately. The stimulus bill resulted in a net loss of jobs. More spending will cost more jobs.

@conwaysloane if you think the stimulus bill created a loss of jobs then i can't argue with you. One side says it created 150,000 jobs, the other says it didn't. Nobody can prove how many jobs it created.
@Kyanlikethepepper This isn't a matter of faith. Is unemployment higher than it was before the "stimulus" passed or not? Have large increases in federal spending ever been followed shortly by economic recovery? Get a copy of "Out of Work" by Richard Vedder and Lowell Gallaway and look at the table on Page 77. Then tell me that Hoover and Roosevelt's massive intervention actually helped. Read the whole book and then try to tell yourself that federal intervention ever helps the economy.
On an MSNBC poll 95% of the people agree with the Arizona law. We need jobs and yet all they do is spend money they don't have and create more government job taxpayer are on the hook for these salaries and pensions. We are so far in debt that even if they raised taxes on the rich and corporate taxes to 88%, middle class to 65% and poor to 25% we could not keep up with the spending much less pay down the debt. Get ready people to be much poorer then previous generations & less freedom.
@quizerry That poll shows that 65% (not 95%) agree with the Nazi-ona law and dropping fast. By the time it is instituted, American national approval of the Nazi-zona law will be below 50%.
@quizerry A newsvine poll is not a scientifically accurate poll. One person can go there and vote 50,000 times and skew the numbers. Scientifically accurately conducted polls show that the approval of the Nazi-zona law has dropped from 71% to 65% in the last three weeks.
This is what you get for allowing a non-christian immigrant in to the white house. I hope everyone likes their change... May God remove him and his thug cabinate in Nov.
@DivineNewsNetwork Yea THATS WHAT WE NEED ARE MORE RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITES TO RUN THIS COUNTRY!! tHOSE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BROUGHT US WHERE WE ARE!!! I F BOEHNER DID HIS FUCKING JOB INSTEAD OF PLAYING POLITICS MAYBE SOME OF THIS SHIT WOULD NOT BE GOING ON!! mAYBE BOEHNER SHOULD ASK HIMSELF "WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTRY?" REPUKES ARE A JOKE!!!!
@blumag88 WAKE UP CALL: The DEMS have an overwhelming majority (and complete control) in the House, Senate, and the White House (but not much longer), and have had control since 2006!
The DEMS were "going to set us on the right path" and have run over all sense of reason by anyone who got in their way.
And where has this gotten us?
You can't blame Bush, Boehner, or any responsible members of Congress for this mess. The majority isn't listening to anyone but themselves.
@DivineNewsNetwork- Screw all of you religious hypocrites!!! And by the way holy roller, he is christian! Ofcourse the hypocrites on the right only see right and wrong as it pertains to themselves and manipulate reality as it pertains to others who dont agree w/them!! The religious wackos are whats wrong with the world!! Some of you christians aren't any better than the muslim extremists that are trying to harm Americans! Fuck all of you holy rollers!!
@DivineNewsNetwork Gosh, Mr. Divine, is the presidential election really this November? You the same guy that hollered and screamed about the pastor of the church he attended for 18 years? Immigrant? I suspect you haven't met a lie you didn't like, just so it was obstuctionist

I don’t agree with everything Mr. Obama does, or with his pace or emphasis, but I have the strong sense that I will be better off if his policies prevail. Republicans, on the other hand, have a lean and hungry look, and I get the strong feeling that I’m the appetizer.
@rocky19421 You do realize that Obama has taken Bush policies and put them on steroids. You also must realize that the last two year of the Bush years Congress was a majority democrat. Personally of the 534 now in Congress all but a dozen deserve the job. There are a select few who can't and won't be bought off if it goes against the Constitution and is not in the best Interest of the people. Look for those who Voted against TARP.
@quizerry YOU do know what a filibuster is correct? And YOU do realize that the GOP has used it more this past 18 months than has EVER been used before, correct? SO how are THEY not to blame? Democrats don't have 60 votes needed. Please explain in detail, how they are absolved from blame for their obstruction.
If Bohener was a pro baseball player, he'd have a 25 year career where he struck out at the plate 98% of the time. And now he's trying to make the case that he should play in the world series despite his awful track record.
Too many Americans in this country complain without performing any actions to solve those complaints, we cannot depend on Obama to solve every problem in our lives because he's only a man and one man can only do so much. I hope America recovers from the current problems we are facing leftover from the previous administration of 8 years, it will take a great deal of time, but I'm sure we are to overcome these obstacles.
I'll be so glad when 2012 get's here and this moron is voted out of office. He's worse than George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were combined. Maybe the blacks have learned that it's not race but administrative skills that make a capable president, these past two years.
@daFattylover and replace Obama with what? A return to the proven incompetence, corruption and failed leadership that the GOP stands for? Are you really content with such proven failure and think that America can't do any better than that?
@Trollmaster21 I never said I supported the GOP. I support those who have the skills to run this country, and Mr. Obama and the current legislature for that matter (largely democrats), don't have it. Obama claimed he would bring change but he's been one of the worst presidents we've had so far, and that's saying alot. I don't support giving it back to the GOP, I support giving it to somebody that knows what the Hell they are doing.
@daFattylover You state a great case on why America needs a 3rd party more than ever.
And Obama is doing a poor job so far. But that fact doesn't mean the answer is a return to failed GOP leadership. Not by a long shot. (I know you don't believe so either)
Unless Obama does a quick 180, I fully welcome a Dem challenger against him in 2012, or someone making a 3rd party run.
@Trollmaster21 USA has the highest GDP healthcare of any nation hands down. You could combine the spending of numerous coutries and it still would not equal what the U.S. can spend. What point are you trying to make?
Words are cheap. Actions are the only thing I care about. The Republican Party is still, and in my estimation will always remain, partners with the Democrats. They both want the same thing; more.
Why don't you help the country Mr. Boehner by helping our President. Get on his side. Both sides demonize the other, but a brave person will put it aside to help the people of our great nation...
How's all that Hope and Change going for you know all you Obongo voters??? Feel any buyer's remorse. This guy is purely acting with seditious and treasonous actions.....systematically tearing down our Constitution, government, and country. He truly is a biped monkey.......I will breath a huge sigh of relief when this dangerous man is GONE!!!!!!!!!!
@MrNewerbeg please the republicans are sell us out just as bad as the democrats stop making this one party against another they are both out for a paycheck
i mean the republicans ALL voted no on unemployment stating it can be an incentive to get a job....ya the 1200 FAMILIES get a month is really what is keep parents home and not trying to find a job. Pathetic
NOVEMBER: VOTE THEM OUT OR CARRY THEM OUT. Enough is enough if anyone managed a business like this they would have been fired or arrested for fraud or embezzlement. Time to act is November before its too late. Time to take Back our country America
The President is a snake oil salesman. The people who still support him are refusing to see the facts. Obama is as bad a president as the libs think Bush was. He doesn't know what to do about the recession. He doesn't know what to do about the oil spill. He doesn't want to do anything about immigration. He broke his promise on transparency and couldn't even follow up on his earmarks commitment. How much further are those snappy one-liners going to take him?
@murphyj87 President Obama's current job approval rating sits around 46% and we're about half way through his first, and hopefully only, term. President Bush didn't drop below 46% until a year into his second term. Also, President Obama has not enjoyed a signifiant increase in his approval rating even when he managed to keep his promise of Health Care reform. Bottom line? Just give it a little more time. Pipe dreams only go so far.
@murphyj87 Continually, you're confusing health care and health insurance. Americans whom try to recieve INSURANCE from canada are those of low education, low income drawn in by the word FREE. Health care may be free in canada but, you're paying through massive taxing and redistribution of wealth. HEALTH CARE in the USA isn't free, which is why there are privatised HEALTH INSURANCE comapnies. This creates competion lowering costs. U.S. law states no hospital may deny treatment to a paitentPERIOD
Who's GDP for health care is more expensive...the USA or Canada?
If you're a straight shooter, you'll provide an answer, if you're a GOP hack, you'll dodge the question, then babble something about a sinister Commie plot.
@Elmojones6413 There is no health insurance in Canada of the kind that there is in the US. 1.5 million Americans a year come to Canada to get the health care they are denied in the US because of the insurance takeover of American health care. US laws states that no one be denied EMERGENCY treatment. Other medical treatment is regularly denied to Americans. This is the treatment that Amercians must seek in Canada after US insurance companies decide who gets treatment & what treatment they get.
@Elmojones6413 No, not at all. I am correcting your vastly mistaken view & stating the truth. All Canadians have access to health care, treatments, and surgery that only rich Americans have access to, and are denied to middle clas and poor Americans. This is why Canadians live three years longer than Americans. American health care is inferior health care when compared to the health care that people in the other 18 industrialized nations (including Canada) have.
@murphyj87 FYI Healthcare in the U.S. has its problems but is still rated number 1 for the best outcomes of all major diseases.For high tech medical procedures the U.S. has better access and treats more people per capita then Canada. We treat twice as many Dialysis, 5 time as many for bypass surgery and 8 times as many get angioplasty. We know women diagnosed with Brest cancer only 1/5 dies compared to over 1/3 in Canada and Prostrate Cancer less then 1/5 compared to over 1/4 die in Canada.
@Elmojones6413 American health care ranks 19th out of the health care systems of the 19 industrialized nations. Canadian health care ranks 6th by comparison to your 19th.
@murphyj87 The sad thing is that in Canada there are over 900,000 on waiting list to get into Hospitals but if an American goes there and is willing to pay they jump in line because the Hospitals in Canada love cash added to their budget.
@quizerry People with elective surgery may wait a couple of few weeks because people with serious conditions get treated first. This is called triage and is done in amercian hospitals as well. Canadian get ten times better health care than most Amercians get. US insurance run health care is only #1 in cost. Based on a combination of access, quality, & medical outcomes, Amercian insurance run health care rates 19th out of the health care system of the 19 industrialized nations.
@livfreeordi What about the thousand Americans who come to Canaad for health care they are denied in the United States bacause of the insurance takeover of and destruction of American health care? So .0000000000001% of Canadaians physicians would rather workin the United States..... believe me, within six months, they will get fed up with inferior American insurance run health care and will RUN back to Canada, like 99% of Canadian physicians who test the waters in the US do. .
@livfreeordi Your distorted view of American health care versus Canadian health care is rare among American physicians. A survey of American physicians showed that 70% of American physicians believed that Canadian health care would give their patients better health care than American insurance run health care does.
@livfreeordi It's interesting that you overlook the millions of Amercians running away & passing you to get the health care they need in Canada, & only notice the handful of Canadians going to the US.
@livfreeordi The average age at death for an American male, which is 73, whereas, the average age at death for a Canadian male is 76. The average age at death for an American female, which is 77, whereas, the average age at death for a Canadian female is 81. This difference is because ALLCanadians, rich or poor, young or old, have vastly better health care than Americans other than millionaires have.
@quizerry This is a total lie. Canadians get treatment and surgery and are released before an American can convince the insurance company bureaucrat who makes his medical decisions to pay for, which takes 2 weeks to 3 months. I have had 4 surgeries in Canada and none were urgent and they were done in between 4days to 10 days, long before you could get the insurance company bureaucrat who makes your medical decisons to approve it.
@quizerry And the elderly in the US have a government funded single payer health care system called Medicare. I'm glad you recognize that single payer is better than insurance run health care.
@quizerry BTW, Canadian hospital do not take Amercans paying cash sooner. All Canadians hospitals are non-profit and having money is never a factor in getting health.
@murphyj87 I completely agree with your last comment. Where we differ though, is the Americans who seek health care insurance in canada are those who are denied in the U.S. These people are denied because of low income etc. The effect they look for something cheaper. This does not make Canada's health care better. It's a crummy alternative some Americans must result to. The insurance take over refers to Obama and the government. Choosing what plan and premiums. It should belong to the people!
@Elmojones6413 I have lived in both Canada & theUS & have used both health care systems. There is no doubt that Canadian health care is clearly superior to the insurance run health care that Americans get. Canadians live 3 years longer than Americans because Canadian health care is vastly superior to American health care.
@Elmojones6413 Canadian health care is not a crummy alternative. Canadian health care is a superior alternative to pathetically poor US health care system, which the worst in the industrialized world.
@murphyj87 That's all fine and dandy friend. But the matter at hand is that of advanced technology accompanied with innovative ideas, and higher education. You're making the arguement that Canada COVERS more citizens than the U.S., not that your medical doctors and learning systems are superior. The "ability" to cover more citizens does not make it advanced. Going back to the fact that more students from around the world enter Americas education system in medical fields.
@Elmojones6413 Oh, you mean like my cousin, who teaches at a Canadian Medical School and who has a long list of American hospitals who want him run workshops for their staffs because his training and knowledge in his specialty is better than the medical school professors they have in the United States?
@Elmojones6413 Canada has some of the best specialists in the world, and a higher ratio of experts per patient than you have in the United States. As I said, all Canadians have access to world class specialists and expertise in Canada which only the rich have access to in the United States. On a per capita basis, Canada has far more medical inventions, innovations, and discoveries than the United States has. Like lumpectomy, insulin, radiation theraphy for cancer... all Canadian developments.
@murphyj87 FYI Canadian Doctors see 50 percent more patients the U.S. Doctors they spend very little time with patients. You must be making all this up because all the Studies I have read are quite the contrary. Go to the Frazier institute studies or the Pacific research studies. The Canadian experience with national health care has produced waiting lines, rationed care and has not produced the preventive and patient-focused care that it has promised.
@quizerry You quote the phoney information of the ULTRA RIGHT WING Frasier Institute, which represents the opinions of less than 3% fo Canadians and which 97% of Canadians disagree with?
@murphyj87 You might want to also look at the study the grass is not always greener from cato institute. Please give me the studies where you are getting your information I will gladly read them.
@murphyj87 LOL Ultra right? Cato is libertarian that means the are for fiscally small government and are liberal socially. Fraser institute is a free market think tank. You must be thinking of the far right fraiser. Personally I am for a complete free market healthcare system without any Government involvement and state regulations. Healthcare was real cheap back then before government got involved No one has a totally free market system I think we should try it.
@quizerry Canadians get health care that you would be denied by the insurance company bureaucrat who makes your medical decisons, and that only rich Americans can get in the United States.
@quizerry Free market health acre si the reason why you pay $450,000 for a liver transplant in a for profit hospital and a government funded system pays $200,000, and a Canadian gets in Canada with no out of pocket cost. "Free market" "for profit" health care is the reason that Americans die three years sooner than Canadians do. The average age at death for an American male is 73, the average age at death for a Canadian male is 76.
@quizerry BTW, the 97% number of Canadians who prefer our current health care system to an American style one is from a question on the CANADIAN CENSUS.
@quizerry Canada does not have the type of waiting lists and rationed care which the phoney information you read contends. 97% of Canadians would bever change our health care system for an inferior system like yours. The reports by the Fraser Institute are only good to line the bottom of bird cages,
@quizerry The only rationing in North Amercia is done by Amercian insurance companies, and the real waiting list are for Amercians who can only the health acre they need after they turn 65 and get Medicare, even thought they may have need it at age 40. That's a 25 year waiting list for Americans like that. If they were Canadians they would have their treatment in weeks, not the 25 year waiting list they have in the US.
@murphyj87 I think you should study up more and quit reading propaganda. 85% of Americans are very satisfied with their healthcare except the cost is to high. FYI Less then 50% of Doctors take medicaid and more and more Doctors are not taking any more medicare patients. Not all Hospitals take medicare and very few take medicaid. Those are our Government run healthcare system. As far as Hospitals and Doctors taking private insurance. About 97% take private insurance.
@quizerry According to Gallup: comparing Canadians with Americans with insurancer run health care
Satisfied with access to health care: Canadians 58% Americans 26%
Satisfied with the quality of health care: Canadians 51% Americans 48%
Only 26% of Americans with insurance run health care are satsified with thir access and only 48% are satisifed with quality and by extension medical outcomes.
97% of Canadians prefer our current health care system to yours.
@quizerry You'll be running to Canada for life saving treatment when your beloved insurance company rations your health care to increase their bottom line, and you would die in the United States.
Fannie and Freddie are the two government backed entities that lead us into the market crash yet they are still able to practice bad business. They have received over $140 billion tax dollars and Obama has given them unlimited funding and their CEOs $40 million in bonuses. The question to ask of this bad policy is not if they cause another crisis but when? The Gulf moratorium will cost thousand of job and higher gas prices for all. Sense the stimulus was enacted we have lost over 4 million jobs
Obozo would rather play golf that actually work to fix our problems...not to mention his socialist agenda that he's ramming down our throats! Get him out of office ASAP!!!
@cybervore It's amazing how uninformed and uneducated Amercians are. They use words like "socialist" and "communist" when those words don't apply at all, and anyone who had any education would know they don't apply. Another sign of pathetic American education..
@jensen1901 Look idiot, what you liberals don't get is that under Bush the Democrats dominated the House and Senate in 2006. Oh and one more thing, under the Clinton Administration, the over zealous Congress wanted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to be lax on mortgage loans. The Clinton Admin. wanted to give mortgage loans to anybody and anyone. How irresponsible is that? If you read and watch the news, you would know that the Housing market took a dive due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
So sad. Yet another brainwashed Fox "news" viewer buying into the narrative they want you to see. Do me a favor, Google "Bush minority housing speech 2002."
You'll see that not all of us are dumb enough to believe that Fanny & Freddy was the fault of just the Dems.
Bush made minority housing funding through Fanny & Freddy a cornerstone of his 2004 re-election strategy.
@jensen1901 Yes that's right. I am a brainwashed Fox 'news" viewer and proud of it. It's people like you that this country is going to hell. Maybe should live in Cuba or Ve nezuela where you have no freedom of speech. I know, my brother in-law lived the horrors of the Castro Regime. Sounds like you would fit well in those Socialist Countries.
@jensen1901 I am not an idiot. You are! Obviously you are young and unwise. Have you ever been to Venezuela? I doubt it. NO FEEDBACK ON CUBA? THAT'S BECAUSE YOU NO NOTHING ABOUT THE CUBA AND IT'S DICTATORSHIP. I watch other news outlets. A wise professor once told me review all sides of opinions before making a judgement. I also read various periodicals and books YOUR HOPELESS. I'M WASTING MY TIME.
@jensen1901 You are obviously an angry person. Your vulgar language says a lot about a person. Can't you see America is going down the tubes because of idiots like you who support this ingrate of a President. Obama hates America. His loyalty is to the Muslim world. Oh but I forgot, you support his agenda.
@jensen1901 Obama, Obama. Poor Obama. He had so much support that it isn't funny. He may have spent 18 months of hell but where is now when he is needed at the Gulf? Oh let me guess? Golfing or busy suing Arizona and sending pleasantries to his terrorist muslim friends. Why isn't he at the Arizona border. The violence is real. My husband travels to El Paso for business and his company has suspended travel to El Paso. jWhat's wrong with you? Have you no mercy. God help you!
What do you want Obama to do? He got $20 billion from BP, who were at fault. You want Obama in a submarine to go fix it? Is that what your hero GW Bush would have done?
There has been violence at the Arizona border for decades. Has nothing to do with Obama and more to do with drug cartels in Mexico and the war on drugs within that country getting stronger.
@jensen1901 President Obama is in charge now so it has everything to do with him. The Federal government is responsible for manageing immigration and securing the borders of our country. The Fed has ignored the issue for decades and when Arizona tries to do something on their own the Federal Government sues them. The people charge with fixing the problem are actively making sure it gets worse. It has everything to do with the President.
The nordic countries have a GDP 40% lower than U.S.A and we all gett free health care with the most modern equipment.
Allso education and librarys are free, resolving in the fact that Finland ranked nr.1 in the Pisa study many years in a row and David Beckham comes here for his legg operation and is treated by the same surgeon as my room mate :)
Interesting chat on health care. Our health care is rated 17 in the world but our system for getting health care to people is one of the worst in the world and noone wants it. We spend per capita more than twice the amount of the next most expensive country which is Switzerland but the Swiss cover 99.8% of their population while our system needs to sacrifice about 50 million without coverage in order to work.
Boehner is so lame. He said nothing when Bush the Second tacked on 4.5 trillion to the national debt during a time of modest although artificial economic growth but now that the bill for it has been passed on to Obama, Boehner gets all lathered up. And the oil leak question is kinda stupid! Is Obama supposed to get a mask and scuba tank and dive down there and fix it himself ?
@818silencer818 Wrong, they had control for 6 years. For the past 3 Obamao, Reid and Pelosi have been flushing it down the toilet. Get your facts straight.
@darkknight91 The straight facts are that the American economy was flushed down the toilet by the most inept POTUS ever, George W. Bush and his Republican buddies.
@murphyj87 Not a fan of Bush, but the most inept president ever is residing there now. Your boy can't handle an executive position, because he was a community agitator. He can't run a hot dog stand, let alone a country. Failure every direction he turns. Deal with it.
@darkknight91 Barack Obama is not a Canadian New Democrat. If he were the United States would have a single payer system. Even if a Canadian Conservative were POTUS the US would have a single payer system. Canadian Conservatives know that even thinking about changing the Canadian system to an inferior American style insurance run and insurance rationed system would earn them a trip out of office before they could blink.
@murphyj87 Dude, I'm not talking about healthcare. But if you want to...there's nothing worse than putting the govt in charge of it or any other program. I just can't believe you Marxists. Government loving fools.
@darkknight91 Typical of uninformed and uneducated Americans who have to rely on the fiction of American myth and propaganda. Government funded health care system, like we have in Canada gives us ten times better health care than the insurance takeover of American health care gives you. at half the cost. A Canbadian has $1500 more each month in his pocket after taxes (including heath care) than an Amercian has after paying taxes+health insurance+deductables+copays.
@murphyj87 Good. Stay there. Glad you like your system. We're right behind you in the rationing of it. It's not a right. It's a commodity like anything else. I haven't had insurance in 10 years. I pay for my own treatment when I need it. Unlike you, I don't expect everyone to foot the bill for me when I'm sick or injured.
@darkknight91 There is absolutely no rationing in Canada. The only rationing that is and will be done in the US, has been and will continue to be by American insurance companies.
@darkknight91 I lived & worked in 2 States over seven years and have actually used American insurance run health care, and American insurance run health care is vastly inferior to the health care that I get since I moved back to Canada. The American myth & propaganda that you have any kind of a world class health care system is total fiction meant to deceive Amercians. The United States has the worst health care system in the industrialized world & everyone but uninformed Americans know it.

@quizerry This is a total lie. Canadians get treatment and surgery and are released before an American can convince the insurance company bureaucrat who makes his medical decisions to pay for, which takes 2 weeks to 3 months.

@murphyj87 That's all fine and dandy friend. But the matter at hand is that of advanced technology accompanied with innovative ideas, and higher education. You're making the arguement that Canada COVERS more citizens than the U.S., not that your medical doctors and learning systems are superior. The "ability" to cover more citizens does not make it advanced. Going back to the fact that more students from around the world enter Americas education system in medical fields.

@Elmojones6413 Oh, you mean like my cousin, who teaches at a Canadian Medical School and who has a long list of American hospitals who want him run workshops for their staffs because his training and knowledge in his specialty is better than the medical school professors they have in the United States?
murphyj87 1 year ago
@Elmojones6413 Canada has some of the best specialists in the world, and a higher ratio of experts per patient than you have in the United States. As I said, all Canadians have access to world class specialists and expertise in Canada which only the rich have access to in the United States. On a per capita basis, Canada has far more medical inventions, innovations, and discoveries than the United States has. Like lumpectomy, insulin, radiation theraphy for cancer... all Canadian developments.

@murphyj87 FYI Canadian Doctors see 50 percent more patients the U.S. Doctors they spend very little time with patients. You must be making all this up because all the Studies I have read are quite the contrary. Go to the Frazier institute studies or the Pacific research studies. The Canadian experience with national health care has produced waiting lines, rationed care and has not produced the preventive and patient-focused care that it has promised.

@murphyj87 LOL Ultra right? Cato is libertarian that means the are for fiscally small government and are liberal socially. Fraser institute is a free market think tank. You must be thinking of the far right fraiser. Personally I am for a complete free market healthcare system without any Government involvement and state regulations. Healthcare was real cheap back then before government got involved No one has a totally free market system I think we should try it.

@quizerry Canadians get health care that you would be denied by the insurance company bureaucrat who makes your medical decisons, and that only rich Americans can get in the United States.

@quizerry Free market health acre si the reason why you pay $450,000 for a liver transplant in a for profit hospital and a government funded system pays $200,000, and a Canadian gets in Canada with no out of pocket cost. "Free market" "for profit" health care is the reason that Americans die three years sooner than Canadians do. The average age at death for an American male is 73, the average age at death for a Canadian male is 76.

@quizerry Canada does not have the type of waiting lists and rationed care which the phoney information you read contends. 97% of Canadians would bever change our health care system for an inferior system like yours. The reports by the Fraser Institute are only good to line the bottom of bird cages,
murphyj87 1 year ago
@quizerry The only rationing in North Amercia is done by Amercian insurance companies, and the real waiting list are for Amercians who can only the health acre they need after they turn 65 and get Medicare, even thought they may have need it at age 40. That's a 25 year waiting list for Americans like that. If they were Canadians they would have their treatment in weeks, not the 25 year waiting list they have in the US.
murphyj87 1 year ago
@murphyj87 I think you should study up more and quit reading propaganda. 85% of Americans are very satisfied with their healthcare except the cost is to high. FYI Less then 50% of Doctors take medicaid and more and more Doctors are not taking any more medicare patients. Not all Hospitals take medicare and very few take medicaid. Those are our Government run healthcare system. As far as Hospitals and Doctors taking private insurance. About 97% take private insurance.

@quizerry According to Gallup: comparing Canadians with Americans with insurancer run health care
Satisfied with access to health care: Canadians 58% Americans 26%
Satisfied with the quality of health care: Canadians 51% Americans 48%
Only 26% of Americans with insurance run health care are satsified with thir access and only 48% are satisifed with quality and by extension medical outcomes.
97% of Canadians prefer our current health care system to yours.

@quizerry You'll be running to Canada for life saving treatment when your beloved insurance company rations your health care to increase their bottom line, and you would die in the United States.

Fannie and Freddie are the two government backed entities that lead us into the market crash yet they are still able to practice bad business. They have received over $140 billion tax dollars and Obama has given them unlimited funding and their CEOs $40 million in bonuses. The question to ask of this bad policy is not if they cause another crisis but when? The Gulf moratorium will cost thousand of job and higher gas prices for all. Sense the stimulus was enacted we have lost over 4 million jobs

@jensen1901 Look idiot, what you liberals don't get is that under Bush the Democrats dominated the House and Senate in 2006. Oh and one more thing, under the Clinton Administration, the over zealous Congress wanted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to be lax on mortgage loans. The Clinton Admin. wanted to give mortgage loans to anybody and anyone. How irresponsible is that? If you read and watch the news, you would know that the Housing market took a dive due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

You'll see that not all of us are dumb enough to believe that Fanny & Freddy was the fault of just the Dems.
Bush made minority housing funding through Fanny & Freddy a cornerstone of his 2004 re-election strategy.

@jensen1901 President Obama is in charge now so it has everything to do with him. The Federal government is responsible for manageing immigration and securing the borders of our country. The Fed has ignored the issue for decades and when Arizona tries to do something on their own the Federal Government sues them. The people charge with fixing the problem are actively making sure it gets worse. It has everything to do with the President.

Interesting chat on health care. Our health care is rated 17 in the world but our system for getting health care to people is one of the worst in the world and noone wants it. We spend per capita more than twice the amount of the next most expensive country which is Switzerland but the Swiss cover 99.8% of their population while our system needs to sacrifice about 50 million without coverage in order to work.

He said nothing when Bush the Second tacked on 4.5 trillion to the national debt during a time of modest although artificial economic growth but now that the bill for it has been passed on to Obama, Boehner gets all lathered up. And the oil leak question is kinda stupid! Is Obama supposed to get a mask and scuba tank and dive down there and fix it himself ?

@darkknight91 Barack Obama is not a Canadian New Democrat. If he were the United States would have a single payer system. Even if a Canadian Conservative were POTUS the US would have a single payer system. Canadian Conservatives know that even thinking about changing the Canadian system to an inferior American style insurance run and insurance rationed system would earn them a trip out of office before they could blink.

@darkknight91 Typical of uninformed and uneducated Americans who have to rely on the fiction of American myth and propaganda. Government funded health care system, like we have in Canada gives us ten times better health care than the insurance takeover of American health care gives you. at half the cost. A Canbadian has $1500 more each month in his pocket after taxes (including heath care) than an Amercian has after paying taxes+health insurance+deductables+copays.

@murphyj87 Good. Stay there. Glad you like your system. We're right behind you in the rationing of it. It's not a right. It's a commodity like anything else. I haven't had insurance in 10 years.

The United States has the worst health care system in the industrialized world & everyone but uninformed Americans know it.
