Rep. Foxx Says Health Care Reform Will Cause Seniors To Be "Put To Death By Their Government"

[Htown75]

SO HOW MANY SENIORS HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH BY THE LAW YET? WAITING ON THE NUMBERS PLEASE...

[coolcat3232]

*fart*

[samnsadie]

Funny how she could say something this idiotic and then turn around and vote for the Ryan plan. I guess this lying excuse for a human being thinks its okay to kill seniors as long as the republicans are the ones doing it.

[sarge5000]

can anyone explain how this crazy bitch got elected?

[tracer740]

How dim and un-informed must one be, to not recognize the obvious manipulation by fear, with which these tools of the Imperialists are motivated?

[kenjohnsonmusic]

When someone says something THIS stupid, we just need to recall them. If she really believed that the government was going to put people to death, she hasn't done nearly enough to stop it. If she doesn't believe it, she should stop talking to the FOX News low information voters and shut the hell up!

[tracer740]

@kenjohnsonmusic -If the human brain was capable of recognizing,understanding and rejecting propaganda automatically, FOX NN, talkradio disciples and the glennbecks of our media would become extinct. Two factors, lazy intellect and personal greed, are more prevalent than any human disease known to mankind.

[cindersguy]

She's right. Thanks for posting.

[TheAerialbomb]

I'd like to see a few in Congress put to death by their voters starting with Ms. Foxx,

[BenMerc]

It is hard to believe that someone this deranged can hold such a high office, and have as much influence on all our lives. We used to like going to the mountains, but after listening to this woman maybe we should visit somewhere else this year...these people have to many disturbing issues.

[BoomerNavy70]

Of course Virginia Foxx would not understand that when hospitals put you on life support with no opportunity for you to come out of your coma they are just milking the entire insurance program that makes everyones premiums go up.

If it happens to me pull the god damn plug and allow my wife and family to have the money to enjoy their lives rather than giving it to the hospitals and insurance companies.

Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. GET THE HELL OVER IT.

[BoomerNavy70]

See, I told you before, we all knew that aliens landed here and Virginia Foxx just proves it.

Imagine this woman being your grandmother and you knowing for the rest of your life that at any moment her genes could turn you into a complete idiot.

When your cousin Mable starts looking like she needs a fashion consultant you will know that she has Foxxinitis. When it strikes you start buying clothes that make you look like your great, great, great grandparents.

[musclecarpower]

We are all dying a little each day when our health care costs are outrageously priced.

[markteetsjr06]

her saying that just shows how few senators and congressman and representatives actually read a bill that they will sign. if she had taken the time to read the bill she was given, she would have known that that was not a part of the reform AT ALL. what is really in the bill is something to help families cope with a terminally ill member. thats all. they wouldnt put them to death. dumb fucking republicans.

[markvanslam]

Well no, we werent gunna do that...but we could make an exception for you mrs. foxx

[superstition222]

Grayson cites the Harvard study that shows something like 45,000 Americans die each year because of not having health care.

So, who is putting whom to death, Ms. Foxx?

[curlyfry1106]

maybe those death panels are a good idea....

[BenJr01]

Old lady, you will be the first one on that very short list...

[WhatCanIsay100]

They are taking money out of medicare/medicaid. Take money from people and give it some else. Thats the way the government works now.

[nightowlky]

Virginia Fox deserves the Sarah Palin award for being a stupid fucking bitch.

[threadysparrow]

why aren't people like this being held legally responsible for this sort of fear mongering?

[hereandnow6002]

old fucks should be put down. they don't benefit society anymore.

[jeeperdog]

Wait until it's your turn.

[hereandnow6002]

i won't live to be old because i'll off myself way before i get to that age. living to old age isn't a luxury. it's a curse

[jeeperdog]

For you - why not sooner than later?

[jabralter]

pretty funny

[pweiss88]

godlyoneOK- you have got to be one of the only people i've read on here that deserves euthanasia. you are fucking retarded, and having "god" in your name,is an insult to anybody that know what god is about. shut the fuck up, and do the rest of the world a favor. texas, and it's population of STUPID, IGNORANT, SELF SERVING ASSHOLES, can fall into the goddamn gulf for all i care.

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

someone should pull the plug on granny foxx here

[betahdanu]

Dont let acorn be demolished by kill kill kill satan worshipping culture mad cause she ugly bitch communist ass Virginia Foxx.

[betahdanu]

Or at least don't let it become controlled by a republican. Government would be the best alternative but that is a distraction right now.

[betahdanu]

Acorn has nothing to do with helping the poor to become upper lower class. The government should not get involved just because Acorn are a bunch of pwt and niggers. There are some that need this funding without it what are they going to do get their crack fiend parents to help them. This is why we need non profit organization. Make some legislation to keep it clean and to stop embezzlement, hell put damn cameras in offices. Do not make this a government institution, because politicians are racis

[ALobsterRib]

Health Care Reform with War

watch?v=hCnusSpg4p4

[drewcantu]

GodlyOneOK: don't let facts get in the way of the lies you're trying to spew.

Religion is an insult to human diginity. Without it you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things it takes religion.

[bmagsalan]

There's a term for that in Canada...it's called 'Brainwashing'.

[GodlyOneOK]

My sister lives in the UK and over there their elderly folks are euthanised when they reach 65 to save money to run their health service. Is that truly what we want here?

[MrRegulator66]

Watch a new documentary called Money Driven Medicine ...on PBS, August 28th 2009

[sweetandexcellent]

Granny go home!

[Gark50]

Republicans need their own country, this one has passed them by. What needs to be done is move all republicans to Texas and force them to secede from the US.

[Abeastlypie]

Yea we should, because that'd take about 75% of your military with us. You democrats can go fuck up this country all you want when we leave.

[GodlyOneOK]

Texas alone is not a large enough state to hold all of us Republicans. Perhaps it is you 'Demoncrats' and other assorted communists that ought to consider moving to Delaware

[rick1072]

fox news is a cancer. it's amazing to me how many people have it. those idiots

[jaythedogg]

No, it's true, Obama has even said it. Basically, instead of prolonging a person's life (cancer patient maybe) by offering surgery & treatment, why not just give them a pain pill & let them live it out? Save billions per year he says. Look it up man, it is true, sadly. Communist agenda from a Democrat. I wish I hadn't voted this time.

Think about it, read about it.

Gather facts before posting.

[gdubya4]

No, it's not true and Obama hasn't even said it.

"Gather facts before posting. "

Good idea!

[unafaery]

Jay,

I'm sorry but you are wrong. The bill states that medicare will, for the first time, cover end of life counseling for those who seek it. This means that medicare will pay for seniors who WANT to talk to a doctor about a living will or hospice care will have ONE session paid for in a five year period. Stop spreading distortions please.

[Bear5177]

...wow...

I thought I had heard it all before.

[PureMadness]

You big dummy

[RobertZFord]

Holy cow. Just... wow.

[bilhelm]

If only the government would put her to death then we could start cleaning up the toxic mess.

[TurtleFalcon]

People have a right to vote for nutjobs if they want to, and as a result we have the government we deserve. May God have mercy on us.

[rosewind52]

What a piece of work this congresswoman is! The provision is about counseling for a Living Will. That has been going on for years already. That details the patient's wishes for end of life care and how much treatment they do or do not want--it is not a death sentence.

Read the bill, lady, get the facts straight instead of making uninformed, fear-mongering statements!!

[TheInnerLoop]

Everytime I think this woman couldn't be anymore stupid she goes and says something even more stupid than the last time.

[rlsage]

Ha, back to the old scare tactics again. Obama is going to kill off all the old people with the new health care system. What retard would believe this crap.

[badboiryan]

WOW... this piece of shit has a government health care plan and SHE's still alive. I know shes alive because of all of the stupid stuff coming out of her redneck ignorant mouth. i wish she would STFU. SHES A FUCKTARD

[maineladydi]

Friggin' nut job!

[stewart0312]

Crooked moron prefers current system where people are put to death by private insurance companies while their CEOs get paid millions.

[Prophet1195]

This woman is nuts. She wants to be raptured.

[donutsandwich]

why stop at top 7 when you get see that america has majority of the marketshare?

so are you suggesting that other japan's or uk's pharma cos doesn't produce similar products and results as we do? that's the nature of the industry man. and i agree with you that our govt failed us and sided with big pharma.

our public officials, both dems and repubs, are so easily bought by these pharma lobbyists.

i do wonder why this goes on. good stuff indeed.

[boringlyawesum]

so i guess it better to be put to death by a private corporation

[mikez565]

This video is way too short. What is the context of this statement?

btw, hasn't she heard of medicare?

[andbruno]

You are insane, Foxx, just like the channel that shares most of your name.

[hikonejo]

Republicans have a very concocted view of "Pro Life" - Love the Fetus, Hate the Child.

These Right Wing Gas Bags were will to let 11 Million Children in this country go without Healthcare until President Obama and the Democrats stepped in.

Nice Job Republicans.

Make sure we all have to continue with your view of Healtcare - "Pay or Die".

[Jets50]

she means that in todays healthcare system, over half of the money goes to people who have less then 6 months to live. in obamas plan those people will not be treated to save the state money. easy to say but when its ur brother or ur mother in that bed with 6 months to live, u want every dam penny to keep them alive

[mosaiclife]

btw, put to death by their government, is equal to saying, the government will not cover costs of necessary care to prolong life of said patient. hence they die an earlier death, or so they believe. so in effect the government has decided (or would be deciding) to let them die... put to death is also accurate if the gov knowingly decides this. why not care for the people you govern? makes a happier people, harder worker and productive nation.

[jeffstudbum]

I am so fucking tired of these old paranoid and melodramatic politicians who are spreading fear and overly exaggerated comments.

[mosaiclife]

dude, seniors are put to death all the time. when they up the dose of pain meds and the patient dies of overdose, but being so close to death they just put the illness as cause, it's being put to death. merciful, sorta, but it also saves money in the long run according to nurses, doctors and families of patients. look into it.

[derekcrozier1]

the truth about the gov't is that they take from you and make you beg for it by voting, they take what is rightfully yours, steal it with guns, and make you beg for it back. The gov't doesn't change much, they still bribe you with your own money to vote for them... why can't people spend their own money instead of a group of thieves. think about it who knows how to spend YOUR money ?? you or someone else

[FallenAngelIII]

Who voted for this woman? She only ever makes the news for saying wholly idiotic things. Did her constituents misread her name as "Megan Foxx"?

[ashtonic]

Every time I hear this person speak, she makes a fool of herself. I simply cannot imagine any sane person voting for her.

[ulstermandc]

Err I think Medicare keeps a lot of seniors alive.

[eks56]

What a nut job. I am ashamed she is from NC.

[Jacksonholenativ]

This dumbass needs the boot! Virginia Foxx needs to go home and retire. She's a blight on the intelligence of our nation.

[concerned00citizen]

When do I get not to have to carry health care coverage on my car and home, if everyone is covered? When???? When will the media ask this question? It's about big business not insuring the little people...RATIONING Coming to a doc office near you...

[blackie1012]

You can't base any healthcare reform off of Canada's. Don't give into the Republican propaganda.

[tonemenolc]

Reblicants know that older Americans vote. That's why they are trying to scare them.

[Neasyorc]

Facepalm.

[grosquipue]

Looks like the choice list of the Republican party for 2012 has one new contender...

[fpm229]

Rep. Foxx is either in bed with the drug companies or else shes totally demented. Either way she seems like a prime candidate for one of Obamas secret - Put Seniors to Death by the Government Magical Little Death Pill. What a Buffoon.

[dtaijo174]

Rufusing to treat seniors regardless of the reason is putting them to death.

[wolfgangfaust]

things have "changed"-watch this:

"Shocking Hypocrisy Audio Found Obama didn't like it when Bush Rushed Through Legislation"

radio interview with Randi Rhodes in 2004.

now barry demands laws are passed without reading the bill. the pens need to be removed from the monkeys' hands in congress before they continue signing our countrys' death warrant

[lorezapocalypse]

Oh I've watched it, and its a big old who give a fuck.

This may surprise you but a politician is against legislation they don't want passed, and wants to get passed legislation they are for. Hum, some big hypocrisy there.

[fpm229]

WTF is she talking about? I thought the Politics of Fear died when we kicked those Neocon whackos out of the White House. Maybe Bill Maher is right after all. This country really is stupid. How else would this nut ever get elected?

[zzx2847]

They're already talking about rationing care amongst seniors. Obama himself said "take a pain pill" in regards to a lady's 100 year old mother who needed a pacemaker.

[senatormi]

This is the same old broad that said Mathew Sheppard's death wasn't a hate crime. Keep her on TV you stupid republicans and you wonder why you lose elections.

[shampoovta]

Logans run.

It is time for Carousel....

Is your crystal red?

[HomleandSecurity]

Health care is not in the Constitution, and thus it is illegal.

Obama is not in the Constitution, and thus he is illegal.

Obama has no Federal Birth Certificate. He is not in the Bible, nor in the Constitution. The Congressional Inquisition will start soon and kick him out of office and deport him to Hawaii.

Health care is illegal. It will never stand up against the Supreme Court of Christ.

[emreldsun]

the government cant do any worse then the pace of shit we call insurance we have now.

[study1]

This woman is totally irresponsible. It's one thing not to like segments of any piece of legislation or to argue for a competing bill. Her statement is horrible. It doesn't mater what party she belongs to. She needs to get that clap trap of hers wired shut and stop spewing forth ridiculous statements that do absolutely NOTHING to further an honest debate. Her constituents deserve an honest discussion, not this fear mongering nonsense directed at the elderly. She should be ashamed of herself.

[outpostprime]

I wonder if she noticed that heath insurance companies already make those decisions. What an idiot.

Obama's mom got put down by her insurance not willing to pay for her medical bills. If anybody knows first hand how bad the current situation is it's obama.

[EnhancementSmoker]

Seniors love their Medicare

and btw...Medicare is Single Payer...government run

She is retarded...

I understand why they are allowed to say ridiculous shit like that in Congress...but i dont get how they can live with themselves...

[tobermil]

I love this woman ... she clears the bar on Republican nuttiness to World Record heights! Give her a talk show on Fox -- but please get her out of Congress.

[jayraskin]

Obama's health care plan is going to put old people to death. Ah, the old Nazi Big Lie technique. Yes and we all know that the Jews were responsible for Germany's defeat in World War I.

No doubt, this conservative woman will go back to selling worthless insurance policies when she gets defeated by old people's votes in the next election in 15 months.

[DillonX]

They could likely get Virginia Foxx's vote on the health reform bill is they'd simply add a provision that gays were excluded.

[VerbotenDingleberry]

The Goverment has no right to steal from me to buy your vote.

That's the bottom line.

But, go ahead," tax the rich, feed the poor, until there are no rich no more."

Let us know how that works out for you.

[standforamerica]

she was pointing out what Obama said himself. "When a person of ago is ill, why should anyone waste any money on their health care?"

Some of you have grandparents on Medicare, some have parents on Medicare. the health plan Obama want pushed cuts out all Medicare and are not allowed on the Obama health care plan. in other words, going ahead and die off.

Even a baby born with any defect is not allowed on the Obama plan. This is the savings Obasma speaks of. And will still go in the hole.

[drunkdecoy]

I hear Obama's health care plan also hunts down your first born son and forces him to work for ACORN and turns him gay as well. It must be true i saw it on a right wing website.

[donutsandwich]

nice.

i saw a similar website that claims that obama's plan is the ONLY plan and that the cbo budget estimate is absolutely wrong. they also claim that if obama's plan isn't approved by congress than everyone is going suffer from the big bad fist of big pharma. it must be true. i saw it on a left wing website.

[drunkdecoy]

People are already suffering under big bad fist of big pharma.

[donutsandwich]

true. i agree.

and unfortunately millions of more people have benefited from their breakthroughs in medicine. damn big pharma!

[drunkdecoy]

Just because they make breakthroughs in medicine doesn't mean they can rip people off. Other countries have different types of insurance programs and yet they still can do medical research.

[donutsandwich]

you're exactly right. who would disagree with your statement that pharma shouldn't rip people off or any industry for that matter. but it happens and it happens in every other industry as well. the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

we have to fight the good fight in all industries.

but to suggest that govt can solve all of our woes is absolutely ludicrous.

america dominates the pharma industry and why is that? why do we produce more and better drugs?

[maineladydi]

Your question should be, why are so many Americans uninsured??

[donutsandwich]

a third making above 50K voluntarily choose not to get health insurance. it's INSURANCE.

about an 8th, i believe, are immigrants(one of the more healthy populations in america).

and yes, there are those less fortunate individuals who just can't afford health insurance, but a lot of them don't need it.

health insurance should be for catastrophic health problems.

the real question should be--Why is the cost of health care rising so rapidly?

[TrueBloodTypeA]

My, my. All of these negative comments and not one on what is actually written in the bill.

Medicare gets cut and the co-pay is increased.

They are terrified they will be treated like the elderly in other nations with universal care.

Worry more about getting a good bill passed, instead of this crap bill they have now, and bitching over frightened elderly people, wishing death on them, as some of you have posted. It leaves a nasty gas chamber stink around your comments which validates their fear.

[micsc50]

Seniors will be put into massive government run old folks homes. They will live on bananas and prune juice.

[DillonX]

this guy is speaking is a total nutcase & needs to be removed from the House

[sonygvf]

Don't forget about Social Security. I've never heard of anyone on either Social Security (oh no, not that word.!) or Medicare complaining. Perhaps you can count on your beloved employer to fund you....how's your 401k doing? I recall when 401k's first started. They started because employers no longer cared to fund pension plans. Your employer still matching your 401k plan? How much of your income goes to savings? Socialized health care and income already works.

[Joe402]

I have a feeling this guy doesn't know that Medicare is socialized health care.

[lmn8bush]

The gop has hit rock bottom , and begun to dig !

[packetscan]

She is a traitor..with Crazy talk like that.

[mistergarth]

Could we have meaningful debate, please?

I'm sick and tired of parroted talking points and pure, unadulterated lies.

Blah blah blah socialism. Blah blah blah government takeover. Blah blah government putting old people to death. Blah blah tax increases. Blah blah burden on small business.

Come on, Republicans, if you can't make arguments which are truthful and coherent, STFU.

[booley]

OF course She never says exactly HOW the GOP will bring down costs (does she have a plan because her party certainly does not) or why health care reform would put people to death.

I mean, we lots of countries with socialized medicine. So how is it they are living longer then us if they putting their grannies to death?

Oh wait. Foxx also claimed Matthew Shephard's murder wasn't a hate crime. Never mind. She's just doing what she normally does... spread BS

[outlawrw]

i wish the government would put her to death

[lisiatew]

She's from Mount Airy, NC? LOL.....that place sucks.

[dafinchman]

It's so much better when people are put to death by their insurance companies, after all...

[TheRamenAvenger]

Total nutjob

[dogstar7]

Rep. Foxx circles the drain of the "kitchen sink".

Sending a little old lady to scare little old ladies.

Is there no depth to which the GOP will not stoop?
