Countdown with Keith Olbermann - Special Comment: Healthcare Holdup (Part 2 of 2) [8-3-09]

[triptows]

Blue cross blue shield is the only best insurance company ever in the world. Mr. Ross is the best person the world beside BCBS. They rock and you suck msnbc. All you need to do is put a little of your money to turn those republicans around you fools. Put the green in front of them and at least they will give you a check or atleast blue cross will.

[risteepeder]

Pathetic. Overbite is just pathetic.... a discrace!

[Nerdbil]

That Lamm dude was saying that repubs's plan was to die quicker. i could be confusing him with some other guy. still, go public option!

[independentview1]

You need to get out of Mommys basement more. It was DEMOCRAT Richard Lamm who said old people had a duty to die and get out of the way. Oh, now that's empathy.

The purpose of government controlled health is to destroy any choice I have to get private insurance and leave politicians to decide if I am allowed treatment.. Please save the "No, No that's not true" trash.

I use my insurance all the time. My policy pays for what it covers and I pay the rest. Imagine that, me paying my bills.

[Suitsnappy]

I don't know who Richard Lamm is and I'm not even gonna attempt to defend such comments. He doesn't represent the Dems I was speaking of.

"No, No that's not true"...well, I dunno what else to say. That's what I usually say when something's bullshit. The purpose of TODAY'S private healthcare system is to let greedy health insurers decide if we are allowed treatment based on our income and our pre-existing conditions.

[independentview1]

I have never heard of any private health insurance company anywhere in the world that was able to tell someone if they were "allowed" treatment.

Insurance companies can only tell you if the policy you purchased covers the cost of a treatment.

There are Government run health care systems all over the world that tell people every day they are not legally allowed treatment.

I refer you to Obama saying elderly people needing pace makers would only be given pain killers until they die.

[Suitsnappy]

Well then you've been under a rock, Mr. Independent.

Government run health care systems around the world bring us countries with much higher life expectancies than the US. I know a girl in Australia who says that their universal health care system is great. Why can't we have one like that here? Because people would rather fear-monger and spread lies, and sheep like you would believe it.

And when did Obama say such a thing? You're a liar.

[Suitsnappy]

Once again, the public option will NOT interfere with your private insurance in any way. Once again, quit listening to Glenn Beck.

I'm glad you pay your bills, but many of us also pay our bills and are still thrown into bankruptcy over an illness or injury. That's why Obama's reforming healthcare: this is one of the biggest contributors to our national debt...the one you Repubs continue to complain about (when you guys gave it to us under Bush).

Any other dumb arguments?

[independentview1]

Perhaps the Independent in my screen name somehow made you think I was a Republican.

I don't need to listen to anyone except Obama saying several times he wanted a single payer plan but it would take several year to destroy private insurance companies.

I know , I know, he said it several times but he changed his mind now so we can't believe what he said then.

[Suitsnappy]

Perhaps the "Independent" in your screen name is bullshit, Lou Dobbs. If you're independent then Bill O'Reilly is a moderate. And we all know that's bullshit.

Obama said what? Stop watching Fox News; they lied to you. If these health insurance compnaies insist on screwing us over, then maybe it really IS time for them to be destroyed. I'll take a "government takeover" anyday over a private insurance takeover.

[Suitsnappy]

Independentview1:

Sooner or later, you or a loved one is going to need to rely on the healthcare system for survival. And THEN you will see just how important a public option is.

Republican plan: Don't get sick/hurt. If you do, please die quickly and leave us alone. Just ask Eric Cantor and Mike Steele.

[Smartassawhip]

The reality is that the health care industry was the single largest contributor to his campaign in 2008, with individuals and PACs collectively throwing in $261,000. Ross, a former pharmacist, also received over $100,000 in dividends last year from the pharmacy he used to own. See the comment section of my profile to see which other dems and repubs are in the pockets of big pharma and the insurance companies.

[Suitsnappy]

Get a life and stop believing right-wing conspiracy theories.

[RainBeauRhyder]

I agree with everything except...Joe Barton isnt from Oklahoma, he's embarassingly from Texas.....he was voting to block help for parents of autistic children, he's a heartless, greedy, arrogant bastard. Watch what Don Imus had to say about him as he called him every name in the book.

[Suitsnappy]

I agreed with your comment all the way up until the Don Imus part.

[MyJaffaIsBeautiful]

You want government health care? you will be forced to get government shots up the yeng yang.

CPS will come to your door to vaccinate your kids and you...weather you like it or not. Big pharma will make your butt a pin cushion...and laugh all the way to the bank.

Even Putan said socialism does'nt work.

[Suitsnappy]

And I was right.

So you're basically repeating things that Obama's Admin and the Democratic Party have already debunked a long time ago? First of all, this isn't GOVERNMENT healthcare. The big bad govt's not gonna force you to do anything. You let the right-wing Talking Points blind you from reality. I wonder if you were so much against big govt. when it was Bush's big govt.

Seriously, why do people go out of their way to watch these vids just so they can hate? Where they do that @?

[tomtheshaman]

i want universal healthcare.

[johny344]

I want a solid gold toilet

[independentview1]

I want back the Rights and Freedoms the Democrats have trampled on for decades. Especially the Right to be left the hell alone instead of them insisting that I pay for their bills becauce they don't want to take any responsibility for their own lives.

[Suitsnappy]

Keep on making up those lies, sir. Hope you're enjoying that kool-aid Glenn Beck is serving you. Healthcare reform won't affect your current coverage in any way, shape, or form. You won't be "paying our bills". We'll just have the option to give health insurance to more people. And it's not that we don't take responsibility for our lives - sometimes things happen and you can't control it. You shouldn't have to go into bankruptcy just because something happened. Repubs never have any empathy.

[Priestshooby]

People just need to calm down. Compitition is GREAT.. Why not insure 49 million americans. THAT WORK EVERYDAY!! Give people a choice between healthcare providers. If you like who you're with. Stay there. I wish the government would do that for credit cards and other things.

[STEEEVVYZ]

ok here in florida we had the same problem with home insurance,, high rates and companys refusing to cover anyone, state of florida created citizens ,,a govt run option !!!private home insurance...scince that time rates have fallen and more people are covered than ever,, very succesful!!

the compitition forced the other companys to lower rates and accept more people,,they did not go out of business..i use the citizens my neighbor dosent,,,,EVERYTHING IS STILL OK

[Suitsnappy]

I just wanna see how long it takes until this video is bombarded by protesters and hecklers.
