@btc8128 said, "It wouldn’t bother me to hear about this guy burning to death."
I agree except about the death part. I'd like him to slowly return to life so he can be burned again to within an inch of death....... and then come back again and be burned again, over and over. And over.
ahh i remember these guys... they gave Canada shit for not being tough enough in Afganistan and saying "they're lucky we even allow Canada to exist on the same continent"
I support impeachment. Obama has achieved the lowest ratings of any president in history. He is a medical fascist. He and his limited followers use his race as an excuse for his very bad anti-american policies he's made while in office. In only 100 days in office he outspent Bush's 8yrs and he's still digging the hole deeper for Americans. We need to REVOLT if they don't oust him.
Do you even know what your talking about? Obama's ratings are 56%. Fascists are extreme RIGHT wingers. When has Obama or any of his cabinet even mentioned his race as a defense? And he out spent bush to pull the economy back out of the toilet after the previous administration fucked up the whole world. But even if your ramblings were right you still cant impeach for that. In the constitution it says you impeach for treason, bribery, high crimes, and misdemeanors.
Bush let these banker fucks build the house a cards, it's not Obamas fault it fell over. It was so easy to see last spring/summer "The fundimentals of our econemy are strong" and McCain September 2008 Black Monday statement "The fundimentals of our econemy are still strong" that somehow all this would be later blamed on Obama.
his argument is "you're stupid" and this is valid as your points are not based on fact, simply an irrational thought process. Going to jail for not having insurance? That's ignorant and unfounded. I think his argument is solid.
I agree, it IS asinine. Although I concede that the bill itself may not say you go to jail...It also may, I am not sure. But if you don't pay the government when you owe them a fine for ANY other thing, what happens? Just don't pay your taxes, (unless you are in Congress or in CHARGE of the IRS) they will fine you and eventually put you in jail...just ask Method man.
This show was ridiculed for bashing the Canadian army for not doing enough for the 2 wars we've created. Canadian's soldiers die in this senseless war for Bush's agenda, and this anchor along with his retarded guests make fun of them! Faux News can go to hell!
So aznluck, you have no intelligent argument so you have to go to my YouTube profile page and call me a "dumb bitch"? God Bless your ignorant, angry soul.
CavesWoman is a lobbyist for the insurance company! Just look at her defending the insurance company and making up lies like you will go to jail if you don't have insurance. What a dumb bitch...who are you trying to persuade? Your retarded GOP supporters?
Uh huh. sure. Actually I was having an intelligent conversation with a very nice person on the opposite side of the debate.
If you were to do some research you will see that if you DO NOT have insurance you will be fined...like registering your car...if you don't do it you are fined, if you fail to pay the fine you go to jail.
I have to laugh.....aznluck it is right there on your OWN channel! The clip with the baby (not the first politician to use a baby to make a point)....it says right there on the CSPAN scroll that you will be charged a penalty if you do not have insurance. The consequences that would follow if you DO NOT pay that penalty will be jail time. Logical progression.
Putting people in jail because they can't pay for healthcare is really asinine...much worse than denieing people for pre-existing condition. It is outrageous that you make shit up without providing words in the BILL that say you will go to jail.
@ x11115: in addition, the bill contains fines and/or prison time for NOT purchasing the health insurance that is mandated by The Secretary. Terms & price to be set by The Secretary, who also defines "high quality care". The bill transfers power & control of health/med-everything from states to federal level. What will federal level do? Transfer to WHO in a treaty? Or, since we're now under federal emergency, maybe it already has done so. Tort reform is not included, why? b/c no jury trials!
@ aznluck: read the bill. it's a mandate: buy insurance or face fines and/or jail time. I've read the bill, and it's in there. I could post a citation, but you've obviously not read the bill, and I'm sick of arguing with people who act like they know what the bill states when they haven't even read it. It's 1,990 pages, provides for all types of unconstitutional, economy-draining, bureaucrat-empowering BS. You people believe these DC crooks & want them to run your lives (& mine). Disgusting.
So you're telling me that you have read 1,990 pages of the healthcare bill? Yeah right making up lies again just like Caveswoman. Hey I was born in a communist country so the government running my life isn't something new to me. What I am sick and tired of is that the Republican labeling the Democrats as a communist! They're never experience communism like I do and no I can tell you! This country will not going into that direction. You and Caveswoman are insurance lobbyists!
Not only did I read the entire bill, but I also outlined it so others could understand what was in it.
Insurance lobbyists? This bill creates a bigger market for insurance companies, you stupid jerk. It increases the market for insurance companies, dummy. Who do you think wrote this bill? The insurance companies.
Okay now I really know you're lying because not even the Republican was able to read the entire bill by themselves. How is the public option going to create bigger market for insurance companies? Doesn't that hurt them because peoples get to pick the cheapest one which is the government run healthcare? You say the insurance companies wrote this bill then name one? You're not a lawyer or anything of the things you say but a insurance lobbyist crook! You make me sick!
@ aznluck: lying because not even the Republicans was able to read the entire bill by themselves? That doesn't even make sense. I'm a lawyer, I read big, complicated documents all the time. And I figure out what they say, who has to do what, when, why, and I have to write what the results might be, from several different angles. i have to calculate costs & benefits, then outline timelines for implementation. who says public option is going to be cheaper? stupid jerk.
Just because you say you're a lawyer online doesn't make you so. Am I reading this right? You have the time to do all this while being a lawyer? I doubt it. I don't know who you tries to trick but it ain't working on me. Since when does being a lawyer makes you an expert in economic and healthcare? If medicare/medicaid can't compete with the government run healthcare then they will have to cut cost or die out...public option push them to do that. It seems like you don't know anything at all.
It doesn't matter to me whether you believe I'm a lawyer or not. I'm licensed in 2 states & federal court. I have time b/c I'm disabled & can't work at a regular job. I know about economics & health care because I studied business in college, I have a bachelor's in bus. management and an MBA, and a bachelor's degree in agronomy. I don't practice law anymore; I'm a ghostwriter for websites & businesses. I'm paid to read & outline the bills that come to the house floor.
Lawyer, writer-web/graphic designer, disabled vet (US Navy), mother, grandmother, music-lover, organic farmer & permaculturist, sailor, entrepreneur and Rastafari.
How can you be all of these and still have time to read 1,990 pages of the healthcare bill and outline the meaning of what it says? WOW you're must be very smart or a liar...hmmm
@ CavesWoman: this bill is windfall for insurance companies. everyone must purchase health insurance, or face huge fines ($250,000) and/or jail (5 years or more). MANDATORY health insurance - want it or not. Why this doesn't anger Americans to the boiling point, i just do not understand. Why do people want these bureaucrats to be in charge of their lives? Are people so lacking in confidence that they believe these people in DC - most of whom have done nothing - will do a good job? Sickening.
On this Veterans day (and every other day for that matter). Thank you for your service.
And that was what I was trying to get across, what did you and your fellow service men and women fight for? FREEDOM, freedom that is being trampled on by this bill!! I, for one, AM boiling.
Service people tricked into believing they're fighting for freedom. The Big Lie. Fighting for protecting the oil & insurance & drug culture interests. Fighting to keep the drug highway open & filled, so the drug war can continue, so the drug warriors have jobs & weapons.
What about impeaching George Bush and what he has done to this country? to world? to your kids diying in wars that are not necessary, to your families being thrown away from their houses, to all the de-regulations on the private sector... what about that?!
@electango: are you saying that we are some how made safe by torturing people all across the world? what's most likely is all you conservatives are just very very sore losers. BOOHOO you didn't get picked, so now you gotta cry at the top of your lungs about how bad everything is because of Obama. blame your pathetic saint of a conservative Ronald Wilson Reagan for all your troubles you small-minded immature imbred rednecks.
911 There is new petition out by bold progressives that needs signatures. It has 120,000 and they want 150,000. I have the link to it in the comment section of my profile. Sign it and then pass it on!
Good News! AARP & the American Medical Assn have just announced that they're supporting the House health reform bill.
That is true but misleading. That is number one on your list I think, Employers will have the choice of whether to offer you the insurance that you are currently receiving or put you on the public option. Thereby you lose your current coverage and the government can throw up their hands and say "we didn't do it."
Actually what happens is if your employee decided to no longer offer you insurance you will be able to go to the exchage and choose between a variety of private insurance companies who will be competing OR YOU CAN CHOOSE one of the public option plans.
Yeah I do. The reason the post office is having issues is because people simply are no longer using snail mail as much as we now have email first of all. They are also the same people who run the fire departments and public libraries as well as several other wonderful things.
Right. You probably send your packages by the US Postal Service so they can get lost or stolen. Most people use UPS or FedEx so they actually arrive where you want them to go and on time.
I had nothing but good experiences when I was under thye care of the military. I have several family members who go to the VA and they ae satisfied. I also know a whole lot of folks on medicare and LOVE it. Maybe you are are just a patient that can't be satisfied. Or maybe you really did have a bad experience. I don't know you so I don't know.
Actually I use USPS all the time and they are just as good as Fed Ex, and a lot cheaper. Never once had them lose a next day air package for my business.
I know right.. I also use the post office all the time and haven't had a problem. Are you watching the debate? I have a link to the live feed on my profile in the comment section. They are all about abortion now. You should check it out.
I have been VERY circumspect in my responses to you. I do not appreciate the "whining" comment. I HAVE very good insurance that I wish to keep. I qualify for Medicare and TURNED IT DOWN because I neither need it nor want it.
YOU are the one who was talking about not wanting to pay the taxes for other people (I gave no opinion on this).
My problem with this has NOTHING to do with having the choice to have no insurance, it has to do with a government that wants to take away ALL of our freedoms.
If they can't compete then they will be. Of course people are going to want to pay less if they can get the same coverage.. so your insurance company will have to lower prices to compete or they will lose customers.
I DO agree that something needs to be done. But I don't think there has been a good proposition offered by anyone at this point. They all have their own hidden agendas and it has not much to do with helping the citizenry. Why not something as simple as opening up the state lines and allowing competition from state to state? Or tort reform...that one is easy..too many lawyers in Washington.
Listen.. seriously I don't want to be rude but I am actually watching the debate live online right now... I do believe it just passed... So I have to go. One republican ended up voting for it.
Heh...anything but what they just passed. Hoping that the constitutional lawyers will step up and stop it. My kids can go to jail if they have a crappy job and connot afford health care? What country IS this? My sister in law probably will have to close down her sandwich shop cuz she cannot afford to give her four employees health care...let alone herself? It is just WRONG.
No one said the public option would jail those who couldn't pay for it. This administration is actually working to help small businesses to, since they need to be up and running, to give out jobs, good ones, not crappy ones you may fear for your kids. If a small business couldn't afford privatized health, public option would be there, however, now, there is competition so that would not happen. Plz dnt listen to misinformation. This IS a great country for putting this through
You will be fined if you fail to have insurance and you will have to provide proof of insurance when you file your taxes. If you do not pay the fines you will face jail time.
@omnithink: you might want to read the bill, then re-think your position. this bill is not going to help small business in any manner, just as it will not help anyone but insurance companies & politicians. I'm a lawyer, I have 20 + years of small biz experience & degrees in agriculture, business management and an MBA. Plus, I've read this bill, and all others brought to the floor this session. I've commented extensively on this channel, if you're interested. Most people don't want the truth.
The reason it is going to be mandatory no matter what bill they pass is because to many folks have been sponging off the government. Eberyone knows you can not be refused care in the ER regardless of ability to pay. We the taxpayer pick up your tab and that adds up to a pretty penny. The fact is you should want a bill that includes the public option that way your kids will have a place to get insurance that is based on income instead of private insurance if they need to.
I agree too many people are soaking up tax dollars (I live outside of LA so I am WELL aware).
You cannot be refused treatment at any ER but they patch you up in the most minimal way and ship you off to the county hospital if you have no insurance. I believe that the bill will turn every hospital into the messes that the county hospitals are.....health care will diminish in quality.
That is just speculation. I don't think that is true at all. That is like saying that if all of a sudden all of the uninsured folks could afford insurance it would destroy the system. That is all this is.. insurance for folks who don't have the ability to get it now for various reasons.
@Smartassawhip: do you really mean that you believe this bill only consists of insurance for folks who don't have the ability to get it now? If so, you're very sadly mistaken. It is creation of a huge, new federal bureaucracy that is not accountable to the voters in any way. It's the tranfer of power & control of health/med industry from state (people) to federal (bureaucrats). It is gunpoint force (fines and/or jail) to purchase insurance, at the terms & price dictated by fed bureaucrats.
This bill consists of lots of different things. The public option is just one small aspect of it. I am well aware of the fact that it will be mandatory just like auto insurance is and that does not bother me as long as there is an affordable option included. Have you seriously researched other countries and their health care systems? There are a lot of things in this bill that work in other countries that are much better than we are. This bill combines things from several countries & I like it.
I don't care what other countries do. America is a Constitutional Republic, an experiment in freedom, giving the people the power to determine government within the context of limits on gov power through the Constitution. Of which there is NO Constitutional authority for this type of action. I don't need to research what other countries have done. We had plenty of alternatives that could be implemented that were less costly & less restrictive of freedoms.
The health care system in America is a proven failure and it is one of the things that make our country a joke in comparrison to other countries on an equal playing field. People who are afraid of progress are keeping this country down and I am sick of it. I for one will feel a whole lot more free if I know my loved ones and neighbors can get health care that is affordable.
what makes you think it's going to be affordable? Why do you trust politicians & bureaucrats to provide "health care" when they can't even do the simple jobs that are their real job - like keep the country safe. All the spying on citizens, yet they can't even stop one of their own from shooting up the people? Yet they're going to create an entire new bureaucracy & it's going to give good health care plus be affordable. yeah right. they're good at both: quality + affordability. LOL. hoodwinked u.
Our country has been safe. Shit happens and soldiers do snap. We should take better care of them. I think that is what this president is trying to do for them. What makes you think that our country is not capable of doing something that all other developed countries have managed to do? They spend less and have better health care than we do.
People from all over the world come here for health care. I can't understand you people all wanting handouts from the gov, willing to trade liberty & freedom for the promise of something that other people will pay for, until nobody is left in business to pay for you people. Forcing people to buy insurance? What kind of BS is that? And nobody has answered my question as to why you think the insurance will be affordable - whatever that means. Premiums will be controlled by insurance co's.
I did answer your question. It all boils down to competition and very low overhead. Many people leave this country and go to other countires for less expensive health care as well. I believe that is all the other developed countries can do this then we can as well. Why do you think our country is to stupid to be able to do what they have done?
@smartass: there is no "competition" when the gov is involved; business that has to make a profit to stay in biz can't "compete" with the gov. This idea of competition is a fabrication put out by those who know the people will buy it. I don't think we're too stupid to do what others have done. Freedom, liberty & Constitution were an experiment. We were leaders, not followers. Now, you want us to follow, deem failure to freedom, fall in line, goosestep in lockstep w/ the rest. Sad, very sad.
We are not leaders when it comes to health care in fact we a a joke. I don't have sympathy for the insurance companies. They make more than enough money to take things down a few notches and still make plenty of profit. What if I had a ton of money and wanted to open an insurance company and my prices were much lower than the other insurance companies? Would you have a problem with that? What if I covered the same things and people decided they liked me more? This is the same thing.
@smartass: I'm not calling for sympathy for any business - insurance or otherwise. The market should (and would) set the prices of goods & services if left alone w/ little or minimal regulation (I'm not saying NO regs). Anytime the gov gets involved, the market gets skewed. The richest business investing is not comparable to gov competition - for one reason b/c to get the $, the gov has to borrow it, which further distorts market. The gov isn't a "rich" investor, as in your example.
@smartass: you're right, we're not leaders in health care, but we could be. We have everything it takes except support from legislators, policy-makers, media & their followers - people who want gov control over every facet of our lives and those that follow along with that program. Socialism, communism, fascism - they're great systems for those at the top. These top-dogs convince the bottom people like me & you, that they're best to rule & decide. Their education system helped convince people.
Well, socialism is more of an economic policy than a governmental system, and its been in America for years now. Even decades. So, because I don't have kids, I shouldn't have to pay taxes for schools, because that is a socialist system and you're against things like that. I'm not for the wars, so I shouldn't give my money to the armed forces, and the list goes on. Stop fear mongering, you're not wise to some governmental change, its not going to happen.
There is no business when jobs are going out the United States...until you guys start bringing businesses back then we're talk but right now you guys don't have a voice at all. Big company like Dell ship jobs away that belong to Americans. You keep defending those so-called businesses but not the middle class American...hmmm LOBBYIST!!
@ aznluck: small business provides 80% of the US jobs. Every bill that's been passed since Osamabama & many during Bush, will bring the death of small business. Big companies outsource. Gov passes legislation that strangles small biz & small farmers, promoting welfare state for the middle class. Small biz can't compete w/ big biz when regulations & taxes increase costs beyond the breaking point. There is no "you guys" to bring back small biz; it's up to everyone to support small biz. EVERYONE.
I stop reading your post when you put Osama and Obama in the same word: "Osamabama"...who the fuck do you think you are? Those teabagging nutjobs? You just lost all credibility after that and no one should take your words seriously anymore. CHEERS!
Not one thing I've written here has ever been for or to you anyway. You're obviously uneducated and vulgar besides. Typical lower-class vermin taking up space, hanging around with your hand out, waiting for taxpayers to foot the bill for you & your spawn. People like you have put this country in the shape we're in now. Bankrupt - morally & financially.
It is people like YOU that voted for Bush who corrupted this country! Don't blame the Democrat for those 8 years of tyranny you lying piece of shit. I constantly exposed you of being a liar over and over again. Who are you trying to trick? You're not a lawyer, you didn't read the whole healthcare reform bill, you're a teabagger for calling Obama "Osamabama". Anything left for you to say?
No, I think that its the tax breaks for the rich, free trade agreements, and deregulated business that has led to the poor becoming more poor, the disappearance of the middle class, and the deaths of millions of Americans because health care has become a business and not a form of treatment as it was first established as. Keep defending big business, they'll take care of you soon enough.
Stop fear mongering? Read the bill, Senate bill has 2079 pages. I'm reading it right now, and people should know what's in it. People should be afraid of this type of control. You make it sound like this health-care takeover is going to stop the deaths of millions of americans & anyone who talks about what it's really about is for big business & fearmonger. This bill is for big biz, against the people & against small biz. that's the truth & if you don't believe me, read the bill.
@aznluck Wow "teabagging nutjobs" your bitching about him putting "Osamabama", when you are doing the same thing. Good Job show how bipartition you are
"People from all over the world come here for healthcare"? WTF that is the most bullshit I ever heard...if you don't already know...we're rank 37 in the world! Our premium are so high that it is up our eyeballs! You need to stop defending those healthcare companies that been f*cking with us average Americans for too long! SAY NO TO LOBBYIST!
@ aznluck: yes, people from Canada & England come here to get operations that wouldn't get b/c of rationing or waiting lists in those countries, just like we'll have if this bill becomes law. I don't know what "healthcare companies" you believe I'm defending - but I defend anyone's right to be in business if it doesn't cause harm to others. I prefer US companies and I haven't bought anything Made in China for 30 years. And I help build US business by helping entrepreneurs w/ start-up.
And what makes you think it will be "affordable"?? There's nothing in the bill that limits costs or dictates prices. The price to you is totally unknown - the price will be whatever they say it is - price you'll pay to insurance companies for the policy, plus add on the price you'll pay with taxes to support the administration of the new bureaucracy to run all this. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK IT WILL BE AFFORDABLE? and the bureaucracy makes the rules about what care to provide. Not doctors.
LOL Do you not have any common sense? It works the same way other insurance companies do. The more people in your group the lower the cost. Not only that but since they are not out to make a profit there is a very low overhead in comparrison so that shaves off quite a few dollars in itself. Right now the ins. Companies decide and not the doctors.
@ CavesWoman: you're right on the points you're making. I'm sorry to see so many comments made by people who obviously haven't even read the bill, and don't understand the meaning or impact. Most people don't realize that jurisdiction of EVERYTHING health-medical will now be federal, not state. That is a BIG change, not discussed anywhere. The "silent but deadly" issue. Just wait until you need to challenge something. You have to go thru fed administrative procedures instead of court!
Thanks Rocky, I knew that part, as far as the funding goes. What I had said was that the local government is in CHARGE of running those agencies, the library, police, fire, street repair. All the things that the tax dollars go for. Somewhere we had a misunderstanding. I knew where the money CAME from. But thanks for keeping it civil! lol Pun not intended.
Yes almost everyone will be required to be covered by some kind of insurance because we the tax payers are sick of footing the bill for those who choose to be irresponsible. You may be healthy but that doesn't mean that you will not be involved in an accident or have an emergency situation at some point. We can't just let you die in the streets should that happen so why not contribute? The public option is an affordable option based on income so there is no excuse.
The doctors and medical personnel were wonderful although it was obvious how overtaxed their resources were. I am referring to the bureaucracy that one encounters with any government run entity.
I am sincerely curious, why are you so passionate about this subject? I have a very compelling reason for my opinion, just wondering what the reasoning is for someone on the other side.
You need to stop whining... seriously because it really turns people off. We all pay taxes for all kinds of things that not everyone agrees with. You just need to deal with it. You want the choice to have no insurance? I bet you still want to be taken care of if you have an emergency though don't you. Stop being a mooch and contribute.
Funny how when I asked you about your reason for your passion on this subject that is when you decided to be insulting and not give any answer.
I have aneurysms on my coronary arteries and want to keep my insurance just the way it is. I ask again. What is your interest in this subject based on?
I didn't answer because I didn't realize you were speaking to me. I did ask you to clarify that. I didn't insult you I just answered your question. I may have been a bit harsh and I am sorry if I hurt your feelings as it was unintentioanal. I do volunteer work in a childrens cancer ward. I also have some medical issues that I would rather not discuss. I have lots of loved ones and friends who will benefit from this. I have known many people who have been screwed by their insurance companies.
Thank you. That was all I wanted to know. There are a lot of people out there who are adamantly on the side of this bill who have are just blindly following and have no "horse in the race" so to speak.
Poor liberals. How do you like it? Chimpy Bush, impeach Bush. Do you remember that? When now I can get one of those bumper stickers that say my President is a retard.
@hdl13, bush exploited 9/11 for partisan politics and power. he gave us the patriot act, and a costly in lives and dollars war. and even you have to admit that bush DOES look like alfred e. neuman
I agree, they have forgotten how much they VILIFIED President Bush. It was shameful, they tell us to at least respect the office of the Presidency...where was that rule when it was Bush?
The reason why folks think you guys are so silly is because in the past when people protested they had a good reason. History reflects they were right. Vietnam and then Iraq. You guys really do seem to be yelling just because you are bitter. A lot of the stuff you guys are pissed off about simply doesn't even exist. It's not your fault as you have been led to believe things by the media and your party that are lies.
Naturally I would buy that Fox news would be stupid enough to make these comments and be serious about it (I.e. Beck and his "deep seeded hatred" comment) this guy was trying to be funny. You have to realize, Republicans just don't come off funny. Limbaugh said he was joking about alot of his comments that came off as racist..O'reilly said he was joking when he said San Francisco should be bombed. So when a right wing guy like Breitbart actually tries to be funny, the left jumps the gun a bit
This is off topic but a serious question....I REALLY want to know.....at what point does it fall on Obama and stop being about him "cleaning up Bush's mess"? I would really like an intelliigent answer. Thank you.
Boy I wish I had that excuse. You do realize that each President has had to "clean up" the "mess" left by his predecessor? So, (NOT a rank on you, just your answer) there IS no intelligent thought out answer?
The fact is he was left a HUGE mess worse than anything anyone expected and he is making progress any reasonable person would not expect overnight results if they want true change instead of a bandaid.
WRONG CavesWoman! How did Bush clean up Clinton's mess when he had none? Wait didn't Bush inherited Clinton's surplus deficit? Bush is by far the worst president in America history!
Like I told the other guy, the GOP is not known for its humor and when these kind of comments are made, the left jumps the gun. I have noticed a couple of these kinds of videos on Media Matters that think these people actually were serious...but can you blame them? When you have Beck saying Obama is a racist with a deep seeded hatred for white people and Limbaugh has made his own racial remarks...who knows when the right wingers are joking...but I agree, Breitbart was definitely joking
New Jersey? The Republicans win New Jersey and they think that's a good thing?!? Have they ever been to Jersey? And the only thing that makes Red Eye a "comedy" show is that any show on FOX is a joke. I expect Glenn Beck to get an Emmy nomination for "Best Comedy Show" simply because of FOX News' penchant for the ludicrous. It's all side show, and only freaks and clowns need apply. See Billo, Breitbart and Glenn bite the heads off chickenhawks! LOL!!
I know it was a slow news day, but this is the best you can do?
Does Soros pay his minions by the clip? I guess that would explain posting this excerpt from RedEye; a show on Fox that airs at 3am. It beats CNN's prime time programing in the ratings ...
Andrew is a douche. You want comedy Breitbart? How about the Dems taking NY-23 after Palin, Rush, Beck and you all spent your time pushing a dumb con on the people of upstate NY. They rejected you. Thousands of dollars were spent on TV ads trying to scare voters about the public option, yet the mostly republican district rejected the ads and Hoffman because they WANT a public option.
Really? I want there to be an INVESTIGATION into the possible authorization of human torture, or, more specifically, I would like to see an investigation into whether or not torture was endorsed by the leaders of our previous presidential administration.
Having watched this whole healthcare thing in Britain, you'd think that Obama created a healthcare crisis but instead he is trying to mend it yet all this has been turned around by the republicans and Fox News to make it look as if he is trying to hurt the American people.Its funny how trying to fix a problem that causes serious problems for millions of Americans can have you put in the same category as hitler in America.
Come to California and enjoy some of our "public" health care. Will only take a minimum of two days to even SEE a doctor...other than those walking past you pretending you aren't there. They need to open up the borders and allow insurance companies to compete on the same level in EVERY state. That would be a start.
breightbart wanted to kick down Shirrod. If you remember that case, this dumbo lost big time.

I agree except about the death part. I'd like him to slowly return to life so he can be burned again to within an inch of death....... and then come back again and be burned again, over and over. And over.
If he were on fire, I wouldn't piss on him.

I support impeachment. Obama has achieved the lowest ratings of any president in history. He is a medical fascist. He and his limited followers use his race as an excuse for his very bad anti-american policies he's made while in office. In only 100 days in office he outspent Bush's 8yrs and he's still digging the hole deeper for Americans. We need to REVOLT if they don't oust him.
x11115 2 years ago
Do you even know what your talking about? Obama's ratings are 56%. Fascists are extreme RIGHT wingers. When has Obama or any of his cabinet even mentioned his race as a defense? And he out spent bush to pull the economy back out of the toilet after the previous administration fucked up the whole world. But even if your ramblings were right you still cant impeach for that. In the constitution it says you impeach for treason, bribery, high crimes, and misdemeanors.

his argument is "you're stupid" and this is valid as your points are not based on fact, simply an irrational thought process. Going to jail for not having insurance? That's ignorant and unfounded. I think his argument is solid.
timdaughte 2 years ago 2
I agree, it IS asinine. Although I concede that the bill itself may not say you go to jail...It also may, I am not sure. But if you don't pay the government when you owe them a fine for ANY other thing, what happens? Just don't pay your taxes, (unless you are in Congress or in CHARGE of the IRS) they will fine you and eventually put you in jail...just ask Method man.

I have to laugh.....aznluck it is right there on your OWN channel! The clip with the baby (not the first politician to use a baby to make a point)....it says right there on the CSPAN scroll that you will be charged a penalty if you do not have insurance. The consequences that would follow if you DO NOT pay that penalty will be jail time. Logical progression.

the health bill states that people that deny health care will receive fines and possible prison time of up to 5yrs.

@ x11115: in addition, the bill contains fines and/or prison time for NOT purchasing the health insurance that is mandated by The Secretary. Terms & price to be set by The Secretary, who also defines "high quality care". The bill transfers power & control of health/med-everything from states to federal level. What will federal level do? Transfer to WHO in a treaty? Or, since we're now under federal emergency, maybe it already has done so. Tort reform is not included, why? b/c no jury trials!

@ CavesWoman: this bill is windfall for insurance companies. everyone must purchase health insurance, or face huge fines ($250,000) and/or jail (5 years or more). MANDATORY health insurance - want it or not. Why this doesn't anger Americans to the boiling point, i just do not understand. Why do people want these bureaucrats to be in charge of their lives?

That is true but misleading. That is number one on your list I think, Employers will have the choice of whether to offer you the insurance that you are currently receiving or put you on the public option. Thereby you lose your current coverage and the government can throw up their hands and say "we didn't do it."

Actually what happens is if your employee decided to no longer offer you insurance you will be able to go to the exchage and choose between a variety of private insurance companies who will be competing OR YOU CAN CHOOSE one of the public option plans.

My problem with this has NOTHING to do with having the choice to have no insurance, it has to do with a government that wants to take away ALL of our freedoms.

I've commented extensively on this channel, if you're interested. Most people don't want the truth.
Marleyites 2 years ago
The reason it is going to be mandatory no matter what bill they pass is because to many folks have been sponging off the government. Eberyone knows you can not be refused care in the ER regardless of ability to pay. We the taxpayer pick up your tab and that adds up to a pretty penny. The fact is you should want a bill that includes the public option that way your kids will have a place to get insurance that is based on income instead of private insurance if they need to.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago 3
I agree too many people are soaking up tax dollars (I live outside of LA so I am WELL aware).
You cannot be refused treatment at any ER but they patch you up in the most minimal way and ship you off to the county hospital if you have no insurance. I believe that the bill will turn every hospital into the messes that the county hospitals are.....health care will diminish in quality.
CavesWoman 2 years ago
That is just speculation. I don't think that is true at all. That is like saying that if all of a sudden all of the uninsured folks could afford insurance it would destroy the system. That is all this is.. insurance for folks who don't have the ability to get it now for various reasons.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago 3
@Smartassawhip: do you really mean that you believe this bill only consists of insurance for folks who don't have the ability to get it now? If so, you're very sadly mistaken. It is creation of a huge, new federal bureaucracy that is not accountable to the voters in any way. It's the tranfer of power & control of health/med industry from state (people) to federal (bureaucrats). It is gunpoint force (fines and/or jail) to purchase insurance, at the terms & price dictated by fed bureaucrats.
Marleyites 2 years ago
This bill consists of lots of different things. The public option is just one small aspect of it. I am well aware of the fact that it will be mandatory just like auto insurance is and that does not bother me as long as there is an affordable option included. Have you seriously researched other countries and their health care systems? There are a lot of things in this bill that work in other countries that are much better than we are. This bill combines things from several countries & I like it.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago 2
I don't care what other countries do. America is a Constitutional Republic, an experiment in freedom, giving the people the power to determine government within the context of limits on gov power through the Constitution. Of which there is NO Constitutional authority for this type of action. I don't need to research what other countries have done. We had plenty of alternatives that could be implemented that were less costly & less restrictive of freedoms.

The health care system in America is a proven failure and it is one of the things that make our country a joke in comparrison to other countries on an equal playing field.

what makes you think it's going to be affordable? Why do you trust politicians & bureaucrats to provide "health care" when they can't even do the simple jobs that are their real job - like keep the country safe. All the spying on citizens, yet they can't even stop one of their own from shooting up the people? Yet they're going to create an entire new bureaucracy & it's going to give good health care plus be affordable. yeah right. they're good at both: quality + affordability. LOL. hoodwinked u.

People from all over the world come here for health care. I can't understand you people all wanting handouts from the gov, willing to trade liberty & freedom for the promise of something that other people will pay for, until nobody is left in business to pay for you people. Forcing people to buy insurance? What kind of BS is that? And nobody has answered my question as to why you think the insurance will be affordable - whatever that means. Premiums will be controlled by insurance co's.
Marleyites 2 years ago
I did answer your question. It all boils down to competition and very low overhead. Many people leave this country and go to other countires for less expensive health care as well. I believe that is all the other developed countries can do this then we can as well. Why do you think our country is to stupid to be able to do what they have done?
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
@smartass: there is no "competition" when the gov is involved; business that has to make a profit to stay in biz can't "compete" with the gov. This idea of competition is a fabrication put out by those who know the people will buy it. I don't think we're too stupid to do what others have done. Freedom, liberty & Constitution were an experiment. We were leaders, not followers. Now, you want us to follow, deem failure to freedom, fall in line, goosestep in lockstep w/ the rest. Sad, very sad.
Marleyites 2 years ago
We are not leaders when it comes to health care in fact we a a joke. I don't have sympathy for the insurance companies. They make more than enough money to take things down a few notches and still make plenty of profit. What if I had a ton of money and wanted to open an insurance company and my prices were much lower than the other insurance companies? Would you have a problem with that? What if I covered the same things and people decided they liked me more? This is the same thing.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago 2
@smartass: I'm not calling for sympathy for any business - insurance or otherwise. The market should (and would) set the prices of goods & services if left alone w/ little or minimal regulation (I'm not saying NO regs). Anytime the gov gets involved, the market gets skewed. The richest business investing is not comparable to gov competition - for one reason b/c to get the $, the gov has to borrow it, which further distorts market. The gov isn't a "rich" investor, as in your example.
Marleyites 2 years ago
@smartass: you're right, we're not leaders in health care, but we could be. We have everything it takes except support from legislators, policy-makers, media & their followers - people who want gov control over every facet of our lives and those that follow along with that program. Socialism, communism, fascism - they're great systems for those at the top. These top-dogs convince the bottom people like me & you, that they're best to rule & decide. Their education system helped convince people.

Well, socialism is more of an economic policy than a governmental system, and its been in America for years now. Even decades.

I'm not for the wars, so I shouldn't give my money to the armed forces, and the list goes on. Stop fear mongering, you're not wise to some governmental change, its not going to happen.

Keep defending big business, they'll take care of you soon enough.

And what makes you think it will be "affordable"?? There's nothing in the bill that limits costs or dictates prices. The price to you is totally unknown - the price will be whatever they say it is - price you'll pay to insurance companies for the policy, plus add on the price you'll pay with taxes to support the administration of the new bureaucracy to run all this. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK IT WILL BE AFFORDABLE? and the bureaucracy makes the rules about what care to provide. Not doctors.
Marleyites 2 years ago
LOL Do you not have any common sense? It works the same way other insurance companies do. The more people in your group the lower the cost. Not only that but since they are not out to make a profit there is a very low overhead in comparrison so that shaves off quite a few dollars in itself. Right now the ins. Companies decide and not the doctors.

@ CavesWoman: you're right on the points you're making. I'm sorry to see so many comments made by people who obviously haven't even read the bill, and don't understand the meaning or impact.

Just noticed this.....libraries and police and fire departments are run by the local city/town governments, not the federal government.
CavesWoman 2 years ago
@CavesWoman libraries are funded by the federal govt.
MrRockythesquirrel 2 years ago
But aren't they RUN by the state or local government?.
CavesWoman 2 years ago
@CavesWoman, the federal gives to the state,the state gives to the city,the city gives to the library
MrRockythesquirrel 2 years ago
Thanks Rocky, I knew that part, as far as the funding goes. What I had said was that the local government is in CHARGE of running those agencies, the library, police, fire, street repair. All the things that the tax dollars go for. Somewhere we had a misunderstanding. I knew where the money CAME from. But thanks for keeping it civil! lol Pun not intended.

Ok...but where is their CHOICE to not participate at all? The word MANDATED means do it or be fined.
CavesWoman 2 years ago
Yes almost everyone will be required to be covered by some kind of insurance because we the tax payers are sick of footing the bill for those who choose to be irresponsible. You may be healthy but that doesn't mean that you will not be involved in an accident or have an emergency situation at some point. We can't just let you die in the streets should that happen so why not contribute? The public option is an affordable option based on income so there is no excuse.

The doctors and medical personnel were wonderful although it was obvious how overtaxed their resources were. I am referring to the bureaucracy that one encounters with any government run entity.
I am sincerely curious, why are you so passionate about this subject? I have a very compelling reason for my opinion, just wondering what the reasoning is for someone on the other side.
CavesWoman 2 years ago
Is this directed towards me or someone else?
Smartassawhip 2 years ago 2
And by the way, where is our freedom with this?
CavesWoman 2 years ago
You need to stop whining... seriously because it really turns people off. We all pay taxes for all kinds of things that not everyone agrees with. You just need to deal with it. You want the choice to have no insurance? I bet you still want to be taken care of if you have an emergency though don't you. Stop being a mooch and contribute.

Funny how when I asked you about your reason for your passion on this subject that is when you decided to be insulting and not give any answer.
I have aneurysms on my coronary arteries and want to keep my insurance just the way it is. I ask again. What is your interest in this subject based on?
CavesWoman 2 years ago
I didn't answer because I didn't realize you were speaking to me. I did ask you to clarify that. I didn't insult you I just answered your question. I may have been a bit harsh and I am sorry if I hurt your feelings as it was unintentioanal. I do volunteer work in a childrens cancer ward. I also have some medical issues that I would rather not discuss. I have lots of loved ones and friends who will benefit from this. I have known many people who have been screwed by their insurance companies.

Thank you. That was all I wanted to know. There are a lot of people out there who are adamantly on the side of this bill who have are just blindly following and have no "horse in the race" so to speak.

You're probably right. I am not one of those people. In fact I am not normally into politics. I am just passionate about this issue.

I agree, they have forgotten how much they VILIFIED President Bush. It was shameful, they tell us to at least respect the office of the Presidency...where was that rule when it was Bush?
CavesWoman 2 years ago
The reason why folks think you guys are so silly is because in the past when people protested they had a good reason. History reflects they were right. Vietnam and then Iraq. You guys really do seem to be yelling just because you are bitter. A lot of the stuff you guys are pissed off about simply doesn't even exist. It's not your fault as you have been led to believe things by the media and your party that are lies.

Jesus, how stupid ARE you people? Breitbart was being facetious! Get a clue, willya?
indiansfaninpa 2 years ago
Naturally I would buy that Fox news would be stupid enough to make these comments and be serious about it (I.e. Beck and his "deep seeded hatred" comment) this guy was trying to be funny. You have to realize, Republicans just don't come off funny. Limbaugh said he was joking about alot of his comments that came off as racist..O'reilly said he was joking when he said San Francisco should be bombed. So when a right wing guy like Breitbart actually tries to be funny, the left jumps the gun a bit

This is off topic but a serious question....I REALLY want to know.....at what point does it fall on Obama and stop being about him "cleaning up Bush's mess"? I would really like an intelliigent answer. Thank you.
CavesWoman 2 years ago
Probably when Bush's mess is cleaned up.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago 2
Boy I wish I had that excuse. You do realize that each President has had to "clean up" the "mess" left by his predecessor? So, (NOT a rank on you, just your answer) there IS no intelligent thought out answer?
CavesWoman 2 years ago
The fact is he was left a HUGE mess worse than anything anyone expected and he is making progress any reasonable person would not expect overnight results if they want true change instead of a bandaid.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
WRONG CavesWoman! How did Bush clean up Clinton's mess when he had none? Wait didn't Bush inherited Clinton's surplus deficit? Bush is by far the worst president in America history!

Like I told the other guy, the GOP is not known for its humor and when these kind of comments are made, the left jumps the gun. I have noticed a couple of these kinds of videos on Media Matters that think these people actually were serious...but can you blame them? When you have Beck saying Obama is a racist with a deep seeded hatred for white people and Limbaugh has made his own racial remarks...who knows when the right wingers are joking...but I agree, Breitbart was definitely joking

New Jersey? The Republicans win New Jersey and they think that's a good thing?!? Have they ever been to Jersey? And the only thing that makes Red Eye a "comedy" show is that any show on FOX is a joke. I expect Glenn Beck to get an Emmy nomination for "Best Comedy Show" simply because of FOX News' penchant for the ludicrous. It's all side show, and only freaks and clowns need apply. See Billo, Breitbart and Glenn bite the heads off chickenhawks! LOL!!

Andrew is a douche. You want comedy Breitbart? How about the Dems taking NY-23 after Palin, Rush, Beck and you all spent your time pushing a dumb con on the people of upstate NY. They rejected you. Thousands of dollars were spent on TV ads trying to scare voters about the public option, yet the mostly republican district rejected the ads and Hoffman because they WANT a public option.

Having watched this whole healthcare thing in Britain, you'd think that Obama created a healthcare crisis but instead he is trying to mend it yet all this has been turned around by the republicans and Fox News to make it look as if he is trying to hurt the American people.Its funny how trying to fix a problem that causes serious problems for millions of Americans can have you put in the same category as hitler in America.

Come to California and enjoy some of our "public" health care. Will only take a minimum of two days to even SEE a doctor...other than those walking past you pretending you aren't there. They need to open up the borders and allow insurance companies to compete on the same level in EVERY state. That would be a start.
