  • The description is completely false. He's not comparing the health care fight, he's comparing existing health care. Great job there moron.

  • Partnered with private insurance to provide for the best care for all. I don't believe that care should be rationed because some bureaucrat wants to be a bean counter and reach some imaginary cost limitation at the expense of peoples lives. I support care for EVERYONE who needs it. But I also support that we each must pay what we can afford to pay based upon our income levels. Nothing is free in life and I don't want to shift the bills to our posterity. God help us if we screw this up.

  • Kazo, I hope that this isn't a waste of money. I don't want to see another boondoggle program that wastes money, rations care, and puts too much power into the wrong hands. I hope that you can agree with me about these issues. I do want to see real health care reform that provides for gold standard care for all regardless of income level that can pay for itself without bankrupting our economy, raising our taxes overly, and eliminating private insurance companies. I want to see them partnered.

  • My posts are not getting posted and its beginning to really piss me off.

  • i love alan grayson he is always so right about things

  • He Nutjobbery

    Al Franken propsed a bill to protect Halliburton and KBR Feamale employees from bng grang raped. 30 republicans voted against it.  Incuding McCain and Graham. Roll Call 308.

  • This is a Holocaust.

  • The only I seen is Abortion but no one points it out.

  • lol, i also think butchering cattle is a holocaust.

  • You guys do realize this man used proper english grammar to refer to the state of healthcare, right?

    1.a great or complete devastation or destruction, esp. by fire.

    2.a sacrifice completely consumed by fire; burnt offering.

    3.(usually initial capital letter) the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews in Nazi concentration camps during World War II (usually prec. by the).

    4.any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life.

    I'm sure he meant #4.

  • Incorrect.

    40,000 Americans were denied coverage and died as a result.

    You can deny it all you want but you need to admit that USA has a problem.

  • Posting the same statement over and over doesn't make it any more right than the first time you tried it.

    This Survey is hardly a "rumor made up by some liberal blog". As I've posted to you before The Study was released 2 weeks ago from Harvard and is readily available to be read on their site.

    Read it and weep. If only crocodile tears.

  • Which statement? Sometimes you need to repeat the message for those who missed it. Thats all.

  • A Harvard study is not "A BS rumor started by a liberal blog". There I put it in quotations AGAIN! See if you can keep up with the rest of the class. Google Harvard/study/insurance. Read it and weep. Liberal blog!. Get a grip on reality or at the VERY least get a gripe that BASED on REALITY.

  • Depends upon the study and who ran it. Liberals tend to doctor their studies at most universities, especailly Berkeley and Harvard. So anything coming out of those schools is instantly suspect. Liberals fear the truth so they tend to make shit up and when they get found out, they double down and really make fools of themselves. When they lie, they really stick to it. When it comes to reality, anything a liberals study has to say is so far from it that it'll never find its way back.

  • Maybe Libertarian studies come out of the best Universities in the world because Libertarian principles make the most sense?

    The United States is one of the only developed nations that still has only privatized insurance.

    And almost every study coming from reputable Universities is in favor of the public option.

    Name me one unreliable study that has come from an Ivy League school and has "come to reality"

    They only let intelligent people in for a reason.

  • Most everyone agrees that we need accessible, affordable, reliable, health care insurance and coverage for all Americans, with provider care for any one else who is in America that doesn't drain the entire system. We all can agree that as it is now the system is broken. Insurance companies are death panels and they already ration care. They deny coverage, delay procedures, and cost a ton. We need reform, but not government control. Gov control would lead to a worsening of the system.

  • good news so far we have the public option and we still have a some ways to go b4 obama signs off on it but the bill has the public option in it and obama keeps saying that the bill will make sure every1 has health care and the only other option is the trigger and that wont do that so obama has to do the public option

  • @ Part VIII - all because you say most studies are for a public option, doesn't mean the public is for a public option. Stop making baseless claims about information that you cannot back up. If you are such an ideologue left wing zealot, then there is no point in discussion the matter with you. You won't listen. You are locked into your lies and that is where you are going to stay. Reality, in your world, is something completely different than that of the real world. Good luck with that.

  • last time i checked 65% of the public is in favor of the public option, so you are lying.

    but you dont think studies that come out of Ivy league schools are reliable, so i am arguing with an idiot.

  • PartVIII = Zealot Ideologue - Nuff Said.

  • u do relize u controdicted yourself you said that we need to fix the health care system but u said no public option the only way the heath care system will be fixed is a public option or single payer but lots of people are agenst single payer do to lies

  • Kazo, what good are these new health care bills if CONGRESS WON'T USE IT? It has no dental, no vision, no catastrophic care, it will ration care, limit access, and raise costs through higher taxes on everything related to health care, income, and health care related. It is a bad way to do what needs to be done and that is why I and many others are not supporting it. It is a lobbyists wet dream and that in and of itself should be way everyone should say NFW to it. Our leaders are failing us.

  • it does it has the public option and in it is everything basic that is needed to help people and if a state dosent want it it can be opt out of it and it pays for exactly what your insurance company pays for cept cheaper the reason the insurance companys r running scared saying it wont work and trying really hard to make others afraid is caz they no it will work and as far as im concered it dosent use tax money caz obama wanted to make as many people happy as possible

  • i am all for single payer myself but what the public option was made for was to make it so the insurance companys will stop killing people and start helping them and to drive down the cost of health care and to make it so mass and maine exspecailly caz they have the most problems right now mass u have to pay 90 dollars if u dont have health care and maine is being sued by the insurance companys and its to make it so the people dont go bankrupt from cost people are going bankrupt caz health cost

  • @Kazo, We can all agree that insurance companies are in the suck. I have Kaiser and they ration like mad dogs. It takes me a month or two to get an appointment with my PCP who rushes me in and out like a number. I won't even tell you how long it takes to see a specialist. Real reform would address this and provide access for those who don't have insurance to get it based upon income level. If you are poor, you qualify for free. If you work, and your employer doesn't offer a plan, you qualify.

  • Looks like my last post wasn't posted. That is innervating. Any ways, the Single Payer System (SPS) should provide basic coverage that people can qualify for. Employers who offer coverage now must continue to offer it. The SPS should only be an option if you are without coverage. Let people buy into private programs in addition to the SPS like Medicare Advantage does That shares the costs and keeps both SP and PI companies happy and gives people more options. And CONGRESS MUST JOIN THE SPS

  • *Aggravating not innervating. Duh FF spell check is in the suck today.

  • that wont happen when there is a public option i am all for single payer but we rnt getting single payer and this is real reform caz it has a public option and the public option wont allow them to do that it will make it so people get what they need it will make things cost less the public option is the true reform the only thing that would be more reform then the public option is single payer and if u want to keep your insurance companys u can if u dont like the public option

  • @ Kazo. What I am reading shows that the bills that are going to be combined call for massive taxes on all thing health care related. These costs will be passed down to you and I. They plan to tax everything via a sales tax like system. You see your doctor, you pay a tax. You get an X-Ray you pay a tax. This worries me. We both know that whatever Congress comes up with won't be free. Its going to cost big time. Kids today don't understand that they are going to be the ones to foot the bill.

  • they dont have the bill any where that u can read it i can prove that there is no where u can find the bill that has been passed into the senate and the bill u r looking at is prob something like baucas bill i can prove u cant find the bill anywhere but the public option isnt like that and it will bring down cost a lot i can prove that to u also want the links let me no and i will show u the truth not the republican lies

  • I am sorry Kazo, should have been clear. I am reading news reports and stories that talk about whats in the bills. We won't know for sure until they do post them. And why are they not posting them? That is a good question. Why are they basically hiding these from us?: I don't know. I have deep reservations about what they are really up too. Any bill that is lobbyist promoted such as this is a danger to us and our children's future. Do it right for the people not wrong for the lobbyists.

  • well have u watched the young turks at all they talk bout whats on the bill and they say there is no way to be sure whats on the bill that is going to be passed but it dose have a public option and it shouldnt use tax money i dont no what u have been reading caz there is nothing about the bill that has most resently been past and we r getting a public option baucaus's bill was the bill to fear and so is the trigger what

  • continue

    i bet u havent read anywhere is that states can choose not to have the public option if they dont want it and only people who choose to have it will have it and i can prove that also and it will make it so it saves us money not makes us spend more moeny

  • I have read that but there are problems with the opt out option. We will know more once the bills are made public if they are made public. If they don't make the bills public then they are cutting their collective electoral throats and Obama's chances for re-election in 2012. I say we shelve the debate until we know for sure whats going on with the bills. If they don't do it right then were all in the suck together.

  • *we're all in the* sorry about that.  Dell lap top key board is a bit over sensitive.

  • the opt out is better then the trigger at least the opt out allows states to decide and it will bring down the cost of healthcare for every1 at once cept for the states that dont want a part of it and if obama is the last democrat standing he wins no1 wants a crazy loon who is for rape and if obama isnt the last dem standing we still will have a dem not a crazy loon who is okay with rape and lives in the past and the thing is the public option is passing and it will bring down costs greatly

  • Kazo, the rape allegation against Glenn Beck has been proven to be completely factitious. Don't get caught up in someone else's BS. When you are tricked into repeating untrue facts like that it damages your credibility across the board. I have read many rumors about people on both sides of this debate and only a few have been proven to be accurate. And those were just minor issues not worth wasting time on.  Don't get played, keep your head above the pundit debates. We think for ourselves.

  • it wasnt about glenn beck im talking boutim talking bout this republicans for rape (dot) org/legislators go check it out mccain is for rape

  • Ah muh bad. Thanks for the info. I'd like to see a clean sweep of Congress. Fire em all and lets find some new people to hang our hopes on. But that won't happen so we're just going to have to boot em out one at a time as their elections come up.

  • its completely fine i never even heard bout the beck story so that was interesting but that website shows how crazy republicans accually r i mean agenst abortion for rape makes -0 sense and i say -0 caz that in itself makes very little sense

  • alan grayson made that republicans for rape website and namesofthedead com just some info i thought u would like

  • continue

    but u seem to not like your insurance company so u might rather go for the public option or at least try it caz it will be better then what the insurance companys give u and it will be less expensive i wish i knew if it was the best version of public option but i dont think it is since i dont think they r even using tax money but it will stilll help bring down costs

  • lordatrocities who u have been agruing with completely controdicted themselves i dont think they relize what the public option is i guess they have been listening to to much fox and the good news is we r getting a public option it will still take some time b4 obama signs off on it but its in the final bill

  • lol at people who think harvard studies arent reliable. Not only does it have some of our most brilliant minds... its also a PRIVATE school. Which means it is a privately owned business.

    there is a reason only 6% of scientists are republicans. Intelligence and republican ideals dont jive.

  • Comment removed

  • Jews were not the only holocaust victims

    they have no right to claim that only their elimination was the only holocaust

    for example, white men killed native americans in far greater numbers but you won't hear this in any history book inside usa

  • His camparing our health care system to hitler's killing of Jews and Christians a little over the tot. He got attention, that's what he wanted. Until this week he was a no-body. Now he is a known no-body. Go back into you hole.

  • This man is a Jew and should have heard his family's stories of the Holocaust but he doesn't know anything about the health plan. FDA is government run and there would be more cures for people, if they let us have them. It's all in the BIG PHARMA'S pockets. Get FDA's report and read about all the drugs they have had to pull because of the damage it is doing. These meds are ones the FDA has approved. What's up?

  • What a showboater! Holocaust? Is he serious?

  • he is desparate, he knows that he has to do something to get re-elected, because we can't wait till 2010 to vote this nut out

  • Thanks to the congressman for having the brains and the guts to get up and tell the truth!

    For those of you, who are with the repubs on this, (moroons) all I can ask is, where do I sign up to get my check from the Insurance Companies, because someone getting paid here!

    If anyone thinks for a solid minute that the republicans haven't been bought off in this deal, then don't write here, don't say a thing again on the subject, because I hate stupid, naive people. Some will never get it!!

  • wiclark,

    We both know our politicians are financed by special interests.  The insurance companies have paid plenty of money to both parties. I wouldn't mind seeing the screws put to insurance companies - I want health care reform.

    But you seem to overlook the fact that the Democrats are owned by the trial lawyers. Therefore, they'll not allow serious tort reform. Insurance is just one component of our costly system. We need to have everything on the table.

    BTW Grayson's a dick.

  • idiot

  • This whole "Sick people should NOT have to pay their bills is NUTS".

  • A Democrat with a spine for once absolutely terrifies the right-wing, I love it.

  • LMAO The Messiah "Obama " got bitch slapped by the IOC? Chicago..FIRST ELIMINATED lmao So much for the World respecting him roflmao

  • Uses an flawed study to make a flawed point. If he was really serious, Democrats would vote now and make it effective January 1, 2010.

  • Grayson said "this holocaust" ...not "The Holocaust". There is a difference. Get your semantics right.

  • Comment removed

  • this guy is the man

  • Thanks Rep. Grayson for having given the stranght to millions of Americans to rise again and fight against these corrupt and immoral thieves and killers.

  • Holocaust is a bad word? Ok, use GENOCIDE!!!!!!

    Against the Insurance Companies DEATH PANELS created with your premiums while they deny care and remboursements and create pre-conditions. They not only killed GRANDMAS but also grandpas, dads, mums and kids

  • It's an homicide and the Republicans and the Blue Dog Democrats are not only accomplice of homicide but also full of corruption with the $1B paid by the insurances to lobby since June.

    There is nothing CHRISTIAN in that. If Jesus was alive would have sent really another flooding to sweep the US away for crimes against humanity.

    How many lives can you save with $1B? How many lives can you save with the hundreds of millions of dollarsin salaries an bonuses of these bloodsuckers CEOs?

  • It's a GENOCIDE of millions of people killed ON PURPOUSE during the last 40 years bu people coward enough not even to kill people in person but through the customer care so they don't expose themselves directly.

    CIGNA, HUMANA, BLUE CROSS BLE SHIELD, etc. should be investigate and sentenced to prison for at least 20 years. They should be forced to repay the physical and psychological damage to the people and the GOP should be investigated for corruption and being accomplice of a GENOCIDE

  • The only cindustrialized country in the world that authorizes to kill his own citizens is the US ... and is the only one in bakrupt for health care because it costs too much and because the premiums increased 138% in 10 years sending people out of job and selling their homes to survive. Every 30 second one American goes bankrupt in the US while the profits of the Insurance Companies grew 434% in 10 years.

  • While Americans are whining for big government and taxes they are so STUPID they don't realize they have to ask for more efficient government and to eliminate the premiums and loas which kill their salaries and wadges.

    I don't care if there is a big or a small government if they are both ieffcient and corrupt. I ask for an efficient government to help to solve the problems while the private sector only fagocitate money and stopped investing since years (anti-capitalist).

  • While in Europe, Canada, Australia they pay taxes and work only one job with 5 weeks holidays and ALL THE SERVICES INCLUDED, in the US for the same salary you have to pay taxes+skyrocketing premiums+skyrocketing loans so that the 85% of your salary is gone and you have to work 2-3 jobs with ZERO HOLIDAYS and ZERO SERVICES (unless you co-pay on top of the premiums for basic services + $2,500 for an Ambulance+ medicines+ long care expenses + $50,000 for college+ Credit card debt and premiums+...)

  • America spends the 60% fo the Worldwide budget in army and nuclear programs and let his own citizens to die without coverage.

  • Having lived in UK, France, Italy and since 2002 in the US I ws lucky to have experimented the American private health care, the single payer and mixed private+public systems on my own skin. I paid $15 for an operation in Paris, $250/year in college expenses in Italy and I saw my American partner paying NOTHING in Florence in an emergency room including medicines and treatments for 2 weeks and I have NEVER been in line for a doctor (In New York I had to wait 2 weeks for an HMO I cannot choose)

  • Moving to france next year :)

  • Blah blah blah... HEALTHCARE... blah blah blah...

  • What a piece of shit!! It is the people who voted for this idiot that deserve their misery. He compared the present health care to Holocaust ...he does not even know what he is blabbering about. These people are the kind of hypocrites that destroys the people who they are suppose to serve. Democrats are such hypocrites that they are the worst killers...killing babies even before they are born.. Such pieces of crap!!

  • Jesus, Zeus, Wotan, all made up mythical figures.

  • I wonder how much of OUR tax money he spent on making those signs. That money could have saved lives, but he chose to murder innocent children by spending it on some signs that he could have made out of paper and a marker. He is a child murderer

  • ... 4 bucks and some ink? lol

  • Yes, in every State the Federal Gov't spent taxpayers money on signs like Economic Recovery Project...worth $150 but they budgeted each sign for like$250 each... Such idiots in government is wasteful and they talk about efficiency in running healthcare. Such Morons and Crooks.

  • I agree 100 percent with Rep. Grayson that the current health care is a system of Holocaust, but how come it took officials like Grayson this long to finally mention the ugly truth?

  • what a pack of lies obama death panels are the true holocaust of our time help americans and insurance companies thinking what's best for america to stop government heath care pray for jesus to intervene

  • Jesus is a myth.

  • for that god will send you to hell after an eternity of torture by satan you will change your mind

  • Wow, you actually have the nerve to call these lies while defending the claim of death panels and invoking the name of jesus? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAA­HHAAHAHHAAHAHHAAHHAAH

  • you laugh now but once your child faces the panel you will be quiet you need to stop watching the far left liberal media and turn on glenn beck on fox

  • j4pan, you're so over-the-top that I'm not sure if you really are a right-wing nutjob, or if you're just playing one on YouTube for fun! :)

    Praise Jebus!

  • Mr. Grayson, I invoke Godwin's Law on you!

  • It's funny how someone immediately marked your comment as spam.

  • Oh my word...some people need to get a life. I can't believe people have nothing better to do than to sit at home, name call, and post such ridiculous stuff on YouTube!

  • They need to keep this crap going...They are ensuring term limits will be on the ballots in every state...

  • Are you "oneclassylady" the legendary Yahoo! Message Boards troll??

  • go to the dictionnary,the holocauste is not just the name of one historical event.the moderator of this page is just a fool.

  • Very good. He compared it to "a" holocaust, not "The" Holocaust.

    And he's right.

  • oh, to be clear the definition of ad hominem abusive was for the slack jawed yokels in the comments.

    Mr. Grayson may be exibiting the appeal to emotion fallacy.

  • Ad hominem abusive (also called argumentum ad personam) usually and most notoriously involves insulting or belittling one's opponent, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensible character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument.

    This tactic is frequently employed as a propaganda tool among politicians who are attempting to influence the voter base in their favor through

  • democrats...killing people in the womb in the millions...sounds like a Holocaust to me

    people dying from illness...been going on since the dawn of man but it's because of the

    Republican Party I see thanks to the illuminating genius ,Grayson...

  • behaack says:

    "One word says it all....MORON"

    Bingo. But allow me to add three more words to describe Grayson:

    DETESTABLE LOWLIFE SCUMBAG.

    So now we have four very suitable words to define Grayson:

    DETESTABLE LOWLIFE SCUMBAG MORON.

    Yes, that has the ring of truth.

    Add "HACK" to the list and you have a comprehensive assessment.

  • keep talking mother fucker!!! Your ass and ANYBODY that votes for this shit will be grass in 2010! We The American People (your fucking bosses) are not gonna take your shit anymore! You and Barack HUSSEIN Obama are fucking done!

  • One word says it all....MORON

  • This guy is so awesome. Such a good reinforcement to Americans everywhere that things are going the wrong way in Washington. Goons like this need to go. He is going and fast. He comes from a republican district. He is history. What a loser.

  • I don't care what party you're a member of... this is DISGRACEFUL! "Holocaust in America", give me a break!

  • There's one word for this Clown - Douchebag!

  • This man is a disgrace.

  • As pointed out previously ad naseum Mt Sinai would have charged insurance $180k. Paying out of pocket and up front I was able to get my 32 radiation treatments for 50k. How does this escape you? Oh you'd rather stir up shit than bother to actually seek to accomplish something.

  • This guy might not be the most stupid person in congress. After all, he's got Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Byrd and 100 or so more that have had more time than him to be stupid. He'll catch up. I have a letter to him to mail tomorrow. He'll never see it but I'll mail it.

  • This must be the desperation play.

    I'm amazed that anyone is still using "people are dead in America because they don't have insurance" this late in the debate.

    Where are the bodies and the outrage of their relatives?

    Nobody dies in the US for lack of medical treatment.

    I've got a no-account cousin who spent most of her adult life as an alcoholic walking around with a pacemaker for which she paid not one red cent -- compliments of the American taxpayer.

    Where are these dead?

    You bullies? Generality much?

    smeejay, I think your Mr. Grayson is providing you with hobgoblins.

  • Sorry, Survivor won out. If you see yourself in my generalization that's on you.

  • Only 44,000 a year. That's not even counting the people who die because the insurance companies deny coverage. There's got to be another 6K there. So let's just say 50K people dying unnecessarily a year. That's close enough to a holocaust for me. 50K unnecessary deaths is enough for him to slap the crap out of some Republican weasels. He look like the kind of guy who could kick the crap out of half the Republicans at the same time. It was good enough to make them cry like sad lil weasels.

  • this turd's a tool.

  • Chris Hodgson. That's my name and I'm dying from cancer of the Parotid. I'm uninsured and uninsurable and rather than make the taxpayers pay for my condition by just going to an emergency room like so many have suggested I took out a 50k loan to try and save my life.

    Between you and me I know I'm wasting my time with you. Even if Obama rode to your door on a white steed with a cool million for you, you'd still be hatefilled. I'm writing this for anyone reading this that may still have a pulse.

  • If anyone or group is guilty of a holocaust..it would be the 60 million unborn babies killed by the Dems since 1973

    Someone should also clue the socialist piece of treasonous shit Grayson the using a Nazi term is more in line with the left then right....

    2010 is going to make 1993 look like a High scool Election....

    Thank you Barry for uniting Real America together.......1 term and out

  • And what's your excuse for not caring about those that are born and die because they are uninsured?

  • I dont hear people calling genocides holocausts. Dont compare healthcare to a holocaust.

  • Shame on you Grayson. You owe us all an apology.

  • The people that truly derserve his apology have received it. Where were you?

  • Descendants and relatives of people who were systemically murdered by the Nazis in an actual Holocaust did not receive an apology. He is shameless for trivializing the Holocaust for political points. Shame on him. I and others around the world await his apology.

  • If this is your A game I'm not impressed.

  • There is no game. As a Jew and descendent of Holocaust survivors I do not take it lightly when someone likens people not getting healthcare to a systemic mass murder of a people.. Perhaps you are too distant or disconnected from the horrors of the holocaust to see why his statement was offensive. This is not about healthcare or his stance - it's about his words. The ends do not justify the means.

  • Nor should you take it lightly. Had Grayson said "The Holocaust" that would have been egregious, but he did not, To read your own agenda into a need to place guilt (I'm irish Catholic and have a Yiddish professional name so guilt i know) is an indignity to the lives lost in THE holocaust. And not just the Jewish lives, but also the Poles, the Gypsies, the Homosexuals, the Trade Unionists, the Slavs, the Communists, the mentally and or physically handicapped and the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  • I cover a reception desk in a lobby during early a.m. hours until the day staff takes over. Grayson has had lots of airplay on the news.

    I can tell you that he draws a lot of comments from the 150-200 who pass through and see him on the TV.

    He digusts people. He is reviled. Deservedly so.

    It doesn't take any honesty or courage to anonymously defend an obvious outrage.(Especially on YouTube.)

  • A viillain in your eyes, a hero in mine. I do trust I'm not the one you're implying is anonymously defending him as I have taken the rather unprecedented step of adding my real name to my story.

  • NO one can be denied EMERGENCY ROOM TREATMENT, but do you want a list of those denied treatment for cancer, liver transplant, do you want me to go on and on?

  • When asked when the U.S. economy would collapse, Panarin said: It is already collapsing. Due to the financial crisis, three of the largest and oldest five banks on Wall Street have already ceased to exist, and two are barely surviving. Their losses are the biggest in history. Now what we will see is a change in the regulatory system on a global financial scale: America will no longer be the worlds financial regulator.

  • Collect money for Alan Grayson.

    Tell those assassins of the Insurance companies to stop paying $1B in lobbies to their accomplices of the GOP and the Blue Dog Democrats denying cures to the Americans.

    If you are looking for REAL DEATH PANELS just go to CIGNA, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HUMANA etc.

    Ask also why the GOP congressmen and Senators use the BRTHESDA PUBLIC HOSPITAL more than any private insurance so they don't pay money.

    How many people could be saved with that money?

  • Go ALAN !!!!

  • Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.

    Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.

  • Both times he had at least a week-long stay in the hospital. What you are spreading is pure propaganda! I, myself, have been treated without insurance. I went years without insurance, by choice, and had hospital visits and so forth....no one batted an eye! (BTW, this was across various states and in various cities - this was not one hosptial's exception!) Get your facts straight before you spew such garbage!

  • So, lets add this simple equation up. You went, by choice, without insurance for years. and spent at least a week in the hospital at taxpayers expense Twice.

    And we're the one's spreading garbage.?I'd say it was your parents that spread the garbage and we would have all been alot better off had they kept their garbage to themselves.

  • No - it wasn't at taxpayer expense. My father morgaged his home to pay for the bills - and he payed EVERY LAST PENNY. It's soooo nice how you make assumptions about things you know nothing about. Maybe you should ask questions before making such statements about people you don't know!!!

  • Who the hell is talking about your dad? You're the waste of space i'm pointing out. By your own admission you CHOSE to go without insurance and when you ended up in the hospital TWICE for a WEEK at a time who paid for it? It was either me and the rest of the taxpayers or could you possibly be inarticulately trying to say your dad paid YOUR bills? Which makes you an opportunistic prick to the rest of the population or to your Dad, a pretty shitty son. Congrats, either way.

  • To UnspokenRequest: I can give you first hand accounts of people who had NO INSURANCE AND NO MONEY and were still treated by the hospital. It is AGAINST THE LAW to refuse treatment to those without money or insurance! My father was treated two times in a hospital without money or insurance: the first time for cardio thrombosis and the second time for a massive heart attack. The second time they operated on him without asking any questions.

  • And I can give you first hand accounts of the opposite.

  • when will these idiot democrat "progressives" see they are no better and are being led by elite assholes and their ideas.

  • UHMM..... smeejay. That was Europe as a whole that lost 84,000 not just France. And.... what does that have to do with Health Care?

  • If you took a moment, just one, to read the post I commented on you would see that I was referencing his comment. Try to to keep up, thanks.

  • 84,000 people died in a French heat wave? Why haven't we hard about this! Socialists! Death Panels!!!

  • how about we base healthcare on how you vote? you vote republican you can keep your current insurance or opt out. you vote democrat you can sign up with the government and pay a specific healthcare tax unless you're a rich democrat then you can keep your current insurance. or better yet leave it up to the states. if your state doesn't offer it move to a state that does. we should annex cuba. they have free healthcare. all the Dems can move there...then we can nuke it. problem solved!

  • He is right!

    Too many people die because they don't have healthcare. Politicians should apologize for being so insensitive to the death of thousands of people simply because they can't fix the system.

  • Next on the Democrat's agenda: outlawing death.

  • Murder is outlawed.

    Dying because an hospital refuses to treat you should also be outlawed.

    Condeming a person to death because the insurance company finds a way (preexisting condition) to refuse payment for the treatment should also be outlawed.

  • This moron is out of touch with reality.

  • Need more Senators like this plz

  • WELCOME to YOUR NEW Chinese Doctors NEW YORK Red and yellow lights shone from the top of the Empire State Building at dusk Wednesday, a tribute to communist China's 60th anniversary that protesters labeled "blatant approval" of totalitarianism and criticized as inappropriate for an icon in the land of the free.

  • Victims of Banker Economic Crisis Sell Kidneys for Cash

    Times Online | British victims of the credit crunch are offering to sell their kidneys for £25,000 or more to help pay debts.

  • I am a US citizen that has lived in England and Canada and in both Countries I never felt the level of care I received was horrible. What I dont get Blue Collar Republicans who oppose this Health Care Reform here in USA with a public option. The propaganda that poisoned your mind is completely untrue on what they say about Canada and England. Shame you on for this opportunity to finally take of OUR OWN people.

  • why does everyone think that the public option is the magic bullet? it will waste tax dollars and does not reform the areas that need to be taken care of at all.

  • Diet and exercise are no panacea for getting sick. I know. You can still get sick no matter how healthy you think your lifestyle is. Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Leukemia, and then what happens if you get injured?

    44,000 people dying in America due to lack of care IS a holocaust and it's a sin to put profit before life. Access to health care is pro-life, unless you don't think the already born have a right to life.

  • Wasnt it like 20,000 people die from no health insurance a week ago. I'm thinking that these numbers are acceptable truths. Lets have a big number so we can scare the people with it. Next week it will be 100,000 people will die from no insurance next year. However, we need to make healthcare like term life insurance. Health insurance should take care of the severe stuff but things like a flu shot it should not take care of.

  • 20,000 people die from old age...it's crazy!! Oh wait, everyone's life on earth will end at some point...government option or not...that is a fact.

  • You can't make the difference between people dying BECAUSE they don't have access to health care and those who die because their time came?

    In one case, simple access to health care would save them in the other access (or not) to healthcare doesn't change a thing.

  • Scientific Harvard study published last week

    The number is 44,000.

    This number is not coming from some media hack or made up by a politician, it is backed by science.

  • Oh gosh I hope this guy keeps talking.

  • Breaking News!!! Holocaust in America!!!

    Nobody is buying it so the rhetoric just gets shriller and shriller and shriller... Take for example, this Representative's speech and some of the viewer comments.

  • Everything you need to know about the cost of healthcare. Lets look at the history of medicare. the goveernment said in that medicare would cost $12 Billion by 1990. The actual cost by 1990? $107 Billion! It is IMPOSSIBLE to have ANY Govt program by on budget OR cost less than the private system. Affordable GOVT run health care is an oxymoron.
