Boehner on CNN: Dems' Government Takeover of Health Care "Is Not the Kind of Plan Americans Want"

[tnguyen318]

250 Million People x $35 a month = $8.5 Billion / month. Case Closed. Their hiding behind Corporations and Bail-outs so they can cash-in off Wall Street. Hospitals are over-charging. Insurance Companies (Stock Exchange Banks) are the reason why the System is Failing. Fed-Ex is the reason why were laying off Government Postal Employees working decent stable jobs.

[loganinderrieden23]

power to the people dont let the federal government tell us whats right and whats wrong !! Let the general public decide

[Claronium780]

maybe it is really stupid to have the system you have to begin with ! A single-payer system is by far the best for a nation as a whole - there's a reason MANY 1st world countries have a more highly rated health care system than America does

[cliffyknight]

Obama is on tape promoting a single payer plan to SEIU, bug fucking Marxist puke.

[Claronium780]

@cliffyknight It would only make health care better for most Americans (have a single-payer system) it would be MUCH better than a for-profit one - health care is a basic human right! If you disagree with that - what the hell are you? The majority of first world countries have better health care systems than America's! And America's health care system is NOT the envy of the world !

[andrewkenworthy]

i find it very sad that people who will never have a problem paying their health insurance or never see a day when their fridge is empty are trying to deny a basic human right to less well off, everyone cant be rich,but everyone deserves access to healthcare its a no brainer,how can a country which spends billions and billions on making new nuclear weapons a biological warfare research say it cant afford health care for everyone, ill never understand it, rich looking afer the rich.

[ItalianScire]

republicans suck

[ItalianScire]

boner doesn't know anything. it's really funny

[cliffyknight]

@andrewkenworthy its not a right. Basics are already provided.

[cliffyknight]

@andrewkenworthy You may be happier in Cuba.

[andrewkenworthy]

@cliffyknight

you make me sad, hopefully youll always be able to afford your health insurance ,and remember if they find out your sick, you aint going to get insured, at least in cuba there is a second to none health system,cubas poverty stems from the american sanctions imposed on it,very fair indeed, access to health service is a human right ..how can it not be,

[GuitarSpeller]

As a lifelong member of the Republican Party I can say that if you want affordable health care, you are a liberal whiner. You have no constitutional right to health care. We can't afford to have Government compete with Private insurance companies. Insurance companies are part of the backbone of free enterprise and their profit motive is what is currently keeping health care strong. Liberal whiners -- I say grow up! Why should someone else have to pay for your health care?

[Zain844]

and this is why I'm proud not to be an American.

[gsingh5]

this is straight out of the talking points of health insurance corporations

[Beachman212]

Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the

[anj8489]

I agreed with most of what he said, until he said that our health care system is the "envy of the world"

Really?

[roncram]

Our quality of healthcare is the envy of the world. The system has problems. We need health insurance reform. We do not need healthcare reform. When Europeans and Canadians want the best healthcare, they come to the US.

great you tube clip Rachel Maddow: History Of The Republican's "Thugs

[stme2008]

jon a scum bag who saports not letting dems or republican towns people to sopeek at townhall meetings he saports bussing in people from other states to cause problems he lies and is just scum what he suports is no better than iran having a group in unaform stop the people from having freedom scum pig let people ask questions and talk the now they take our freedom in our own state to speak bussing in from other states keep taking our freedoms republicans keep trying to be hitler

[RichardE8ST]

Professor John Nash, depicted in the movie, A Beautiful mind, was made famous by a formula that proved that it is best to do what is best for the individual and the group. Therefore the republican philosophy of self-interest only is not the best way to build the economy. If the neocons and teabaggers dont want to pay taxes and shut off funding for education healthcare and infrastructure they are hurting the entire population as a whole.

[BJJVad]

The economy has thrived and dominated the rest of the world with it's current health care system.

You are just captain save em all. This is a "dog eat dog" and until you understand that, you will always have this notion that you can save everyone.

The real truth of the matter absent severe mental disorders, everyone has the potential to obtain a good health care for themselves.

[RichardE8ST]

Boner is a liar. He is paid by the health insurance industry to keep things just the way they are. Over 50 million uninsured and the only thing the neocons can say is that we like it the way it is. We will fight any plan that does not help the insurance companies make more money insuring fewer people.

[BJJVad]

Why don't you take a trip up to Canada and tell me how "Awesome" their social health care system is.

You hear quite a bit about it, but unless you have lived it you will never respect the health care that is available in the US.

Just because the rest of you lazy SOB's are too broke from buying bling bling, don't go bitching about health care.

Learn to "Manage" your finances..

[RichardE8ST]

I have health insurance smartass. The difference between you and I is that I'm aware of the fact that if you cant keep the population educated and healthy the economy will fail. We can spend less money to insure everyone than what is being spent now to leave out over 50 million people. I know neocons think in too small of a box to understand that. They only understand fear and greed. Until they can pull their heads out of there boxes that is the way theyll stay,

[Zain844]

I live in Canada and while our healthcare system may not be perfect but it's much better then yours. My mother had a surgical procedure done that saved her life for free. The same surgury would have cost us thausands of dollars if we lived in the U.S which fortunetly we don't.

Canada. England, France (and pretty much all of Europe) all have healthcare systems that are far superior to the U.S How many of your fellow Americans have died or gone bankrupt because of medical bills?

[poker2239]

do they wipe your ass for ya too, LOSER

[NAGGERNUTZ]

In 2012, our new president will spend his first year reversing all the damage done by the Obama administration.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Democrats! please stop LYING about health care.

Government run health care is controlled euthanasia. Currently doctors hire people to deal with insurance companies. Usually one person that does half a days work filing claims. I was responsible for myself. I educated myself and got a job where I have excellent health care. I should not be responsible for those who are lazy, irresponsible and can't drag their ass out and take care of themselves. Entitlements breed irresponsibility and laziness!

[GuitarSpeller]

Republicans! Please stop LYING about health care.

Government run health care will not get in the way of the doctor patient relationship. Currently doctors must spend up to 40% of their time dealing with insurance companies. Time better spent with patients.

[kipptumor]

What about the annual-million-dollar-bonus CEO run health care system we have now? Anyone happy with the way Blue Cross is screwing you up the ass these days? crickets...

[kt8268]

REFORM not government bureaucracy! That's what EVERYONE WANTS!

Nobody can name ONE NOT EVEN ONE government entitlement program that works, ALL are either BANKRUPT,FRAUD AND ABUSE RIDDEN OR ALLTHREE!!!!!

STOP THE MARXISTS IN WASHINGTON!

[fideles08]

Congressman Boehner, I'm a democrat, I support your party for saying NO and all blue dog democrats. I've been making phone calls since yesterday, calling all blue dogs to stand beside all Republicans. I want all blue dogs and Republicans to kill this bill. This is bad medicine for America, this is plain and simple CONTROL of people's lives, this is downright SOCIALISM. In fact I call HR3200 MARXIST HEALTHCARE BILL.

[GuitarSpeller]

Republicans have never accepted the notion that the American public comes first and the insurance companies second.

[Truthinmidamerica]

You are an uninformed, unthinking begger! Please explain to me why you liberals think everything is free?

[GuitarSpeller]

Mr. Leader is an apologist for the insurance companies who commit outright fraud by denying care to people who paid for it through their insurance.

Requiring Insurance companies to meet basic standards so that all can have insurance is just common sense

[artemizzy]

so no one can stop it from being implemented??? wat obama wants, obama gets?

[kmg501]

Pass this on to stop the health care reform madness.

Wolf's comparison of FedEx to the Postal Service is ludicrous and reaching!

[Nickk361]

Medicare is already underfunded and the administration is going to cut benefits to fund a government insurance program for everyone. Once they are successful in putting private insurers out of business through deficit spending underwritten by the Fed money machine, then it will be too late to understand the real cost of this program.

[Claronium780]

@Nickk361 maybe then the wealhty can do their SHARE in America for the first time in nearly a decade - that would go a huge way to solving that problem!

[stme2008]

keep own insurance you have is in plan! repubs dont care! people dieing not covered rising weather job loss or prices gone up high from insurers the ins, co. invest in lies Lewin group is actualy united health a group John info from lately an ins co. that in january had to pay out 400mill to consumers do to shifting data on consumers! insurance is killing! signa: girl 60% chance live with a treatment gets denied by her signa she died why? signa said she should insurance choose who dies every day

[ka7krz]

Hope your kool-aid was good. I work ICU and ER in Phoenix.

Half of my patients have NO private insurance, we are REQUIRED to treat them for FREE. It is Federal law.

The people who are responsible pay to see a doctor, the lazy go to ER to get it for free. Since I never met their mother I shouldn't have to pay for them.

[Caleb6543]

Go John!

[MrHelldogger]

I guess there was never a gov't take over of retirement plans either, uh?

[pfizzbones]

Yeah, and look at what kind of hole that's got us in.

Thank You John..!! Keep Up The Great Fight..!!
