  • WANT YOUR JOBS BACK ??

    1. REPEAL NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) – Signed into Law by Slick Willie and his Democratic Congress.

    2. REPEAL CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) – Signed into Law by G. W. Bush and the Liberal Democratic Congress.

    3. DUMP ALL DEMOCRATS AND LIBERAL RINOS (Republican In Name Only)

    4. DUMP ALL POLITICANS WHO SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR OBAMACARE, THE BAILOUTS, AN INCREASE IN TAXES AND AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.

    5. Deport ALL 20 Million ILLEGALS

  • Access to healthcare is a privilige not a right. Do people who can't afford cars get them? or does government take money from other people to buy them cars?.

    We have freedom and the right to pursue happiness but it should never be at the cost of anothers freedom or pursuit of happiness and yes being a burden on the system does hurt others.

    Too many Americans stand around with their hands out to the government thinking its responsible for them.

  • Marriage is exclusive, not inclusive. It isn't for everyone. Sisters aren't permitted to marry 1 another. Group marriage, bigamy & melding w/cadavers is also forbidden. If the institution of matrimony is to have any value it must remain what it has always been: the basis of a household in which to beget & raise children. Homosexual intimacies don't facilitate pregnancy therefore, as logic & propriety dictate: degenerate unions shall be codified & sanctified to the detriment of children & sanity.

  • @ThingsBetweenTimes Marriage isn't sacred anymore. People get married and divorced the next day. People get married for tax purposes. There have even been shows on TV that match of strangers to be married. Stop spouting this lie about the sanctity of marriage, and let two consenting adults (regardless of gender) that REALLY want to be married, actually do it...

  • @RavenMichaels : Let mothers marry their daughters; fathers marry their sons...

  • "and work with us on the real reforms families want and need." qtd from your info bar... Hmmm, do I want the reform you are talking about, not really... It seems like your plan is just a conservative way of keeping health care from everyone. How is allowing people to die because they are not able to afford something justified. I am sure that with a government sponsored health care system we could fix this problem.

  • @luquoo I like your wording "how is allowing people to die because they are not able to afford something justified". Basically what your talking about is a law of nature. If you require outside assistance to survive your at the mercy of said being and historically speaking it was family/friends who would be their for you but now your saying " plz government take some of that persons money and give it to me?".

    That sounds tyrannical to me.

  • @Shargrailar I honestly think that humans have the power to defy natures harsh ways of natural selection. As a species, just by being more benevolent towards each other and less selfish, we can stop all this infighting and work towards higher goals than just making as much money as possible. That being said, there are other reasons to support Obama's health care plan. There is a serious free-rider problem in the health care system today.

  • @Shargrailar (cont from before)People often just buy health insurance on the way to the hospital. By doing this they dodge all the money they should have been paying from before and this puts a huge strain on the health insurance companies, causing higher prices. If everyone just had some form of health care, that free rider problem would be eliminated and costs on health care premiums would go down a bit. We should take care of our sick and not leave them to the harsh clutches of nature!

  • Stop whining about the length of it and start reading it!

  • lol why dont u read it and see for yourself how much bullshit is in it

  • ballsack

  • Atheism is the religion of eugenics. Atheism's tenets demand de-population, dehumanization, debauchery, demonology; the demise of personhood and the establishment of a planetary Super State whereat free-will & self-sovereignty are inconceivable. Atheism is the death-knell to traditional Western Civilization, the work-ethic, free-market-demand economies, real money, private land & gun ownership. Atheism's dogma mandates obedience, acquiescence, supplication & slavery.

  • Its sad how the GOP pray on the stupidity of their followers. They used all type of excuses for this bill and others. Their gold is not to let Obama succeed. Rush Limbaugh opened his big mouth and let the secrete our. That's the goal of the Republican, and they need a bunch of stupid uneducated people to assist them to do it. You follow these GOP you are right there with the Tea Par tiers, the Klan etc. That's why you don't hear or see the Klan they are part of the Tea Party.

  • this guy is such a stupid clown.

  • pelosi is a treasonous power hungry future prison cell occupant skank that is also ugly

  • Obama...Finally! Fascism that we can believe in!

  • Sad thing it.. they just condensed everything in the Demo plan. There is nothing new in their 'plan'.

  • Alan Grayson's bill is 4 pages and functionally does almost exactly the same thing as this. This argument doesn't work anymore

  • Look 2 bastards and a tramp!

  • @padude64

    Typical Democrat. Doesn't know enough about the issues, so has to resort to petty name calling. Looking for a handout...If the liberals didn't run cities like Detroit into the ground, the people would have jobs and not need healthcare to be spoon fed to them by the (Nanny) Government. Shit, what's next? Obama gonna bring back the good old days of welware, just watch...

  • Asthma is a chronic condition. Correct. But, unless you have teeny asthma, and only need one puff from an inhaler once a month, ok. But my Advair for my asthma, which is debilitating without, is $3,600 a year. Provintil emergency inhaler: $324 a year. Please tell me how to get almost $4,000 of medication, plus medication for five other chronic conditions, for under $1,000. Please.

  • And be sides, I would rather have Bush, at least he had reall feelings, then this Socialist/Marxist Ruler any day

  • hey wuzzntme Bush, we didn't get attached for 7 yhrs, our uneployement rate was4.5% now its 10%+, You have your degree in stupidity.

    Simple question, were your born stupid or is this something that you worked on?

    my guess the first

    By the way, the war with Iraq was voted on by the democrats, even hillary and bill said that this was the right thing to do. Oh I am sorry you forgot that.

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    AND PROUD TO SAY

  • It's not a question of me forgetting fucktard. It's a question of math. There were more republicans in congress in 2001. Guess that disability has hindered your memory. We didn't get attacked for 7 years with Bush in office. We didn't get attacked for 60 years before him. The unemployment rate was 4.5 during bush's first term, it was at 8 when he left. If you knew how to read, you would know that.

  • @wuzzntme lOOK DUMB FUCK, it was 8% after the dems took back and the repubs lost because they thought they where dems, spendign and spending. Bush was in office for 8 months prior to the attack, Clinton had a chance to stop it, 911 commission even pointed that out.

    However, you are so stupid, you keep claim your ignorance the more people see it the better everyone else looks.

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    AND PROUD TO SAY

  • Yeah poor Bush was only in office 8 months when we got attacked. We got attacked under his watch. He got caught with his pants down and 3000 of us died. And spin it any way you want you glenn beck cock sucker, it was 8 percent unemployment when Bush left and we inherited his mess. You're a mentally disabled Vet and proud to say. Good for fucking you. If you had a job you wouldnt be up at 2am ranting and raving like a meth addict.

  • @wuzzntme AGain, you are the most biggest dumb ass on this planet. You facts are so wrong it isn't even funny. Check your facts before you speak, it makes you look like a moron

  • If I hear you talk shit about my govt. again I'm going to have you hanged for treason. If you don't love America, get the hell out of it son. You don't belong here anymore. You can't love the country but hate the govt. that runs it. Before you go running your mouth again, take a civics class so you understand exactly what the govt. does and doesn't do. Night, donkey fucker.

  • @wuzzntme Are kidding me, you are the one who hates this country. I don't trust this government. This president is a socialist / marxist, simple as that. His remarks and actions speak for them self...

    As far as me shutting up or anything else you have said. Sorry buddy, as I have said many times before. I AM AN AMERICAN DISABLED VET, AN AMERICAN SOLDIER. I WILL DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AGAINST ALL WHO WANT TO DESTROY IT. If you want the US to be like Russia, Cuba.... etc... Then you are wrong

  • Last time I checked, 60 was more than 40 so who's in the minority now? Your party has won one popular vote since 1988. Who's in the minority? 33% say they think the republicans are good for this country. That means more people do not. You can't spell, you can't read, you can't do math. What the fuck good are you. Do us a favor and run Palin in 2012. I could use a good laugh. Go to bed fucking dipshit.

  • @wuzzntme YOu are so full of it, there are 25% libs in ths country, the rest are conservative, dumb ass

  • You might have retards who think Fox News is a real news network telling you that you are in the majority. You're not. I say it again, your party has won one popular vote in 20 years. What part of this is not getting through your brain damaged head. Since you're so into protecting our country and Russia and China is plotting to take us over, as well as our own govt. Why don't you go to war with them. I'll laugh my ass off when they roll you off a cliff.

  • @wuzzntme yOU ARE SURELY A DUMBASS, THERE. RUSSIA AND CHINA, CUBA IS TAKING OVER THE COUNTRY TANK YOU OBAMA, HE LOVES THEM

  • A conservative gets a flat tire, looks at it and fixes it. A liberal gets a flat tire, looks at it, has a debate and throws money at it...

  • 10.2 mr president!!! Priorities! Your first year was a freakin waste. I want a job before health care. I need to feed my family FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • Waffle House is hiring. Get your ass to work. I didn't wait on the govt. to bail me out.

  • Aw. Poor Jon can't read! Start with "Cat and the Hat" and work your way up from there Jonny boy. Yes, your "solutions" are a giveaway to insurance companies who bankroll your party. No thanks. It's time for someone to rescue the middle class--and that's the Democrats, not the GOP.

  • @jensen1901 Democrats will destroy the middle class, they don't care. It is a bunch of rich got you in their pocket more money for meeeeee group.

    Get a clue, both parties have some group, the only group left out is us, the tax payers.

    We need a million man march on Washington, It is WE THE PEOPLE, what ever happened to that?

    We need a smaller Government, it has proven to work so many times before.

    I am a Disabled VET

    and proud to say

  • Thank you for your service Dave. But you have your parties messed up. It is the Democrats who care about the middle class. The GOP cares only about the rich and the corporations.

  • yeah, i'd have to disagree with you. the Democrats care only about pursuing socialist elite agendas like wealth re-distribution. and they go out of their way to destroy the constitution with outlandish federal schemes like Social security, medicare, and universal healthcare. and they suck on foreign policy.

  • "outlandish federal schemes like Social security, medicare?" OK give yours up. Immidiately. And ask your congressman to run on that platform.

  • I'll give mine up immediately. Both will be bankrupt before I can even make one claim on either of them anyways.

  • Good. Then I urge you to ask your representative to run on that platfrm of getting rid of medicare and social security.

  • I do and they do. I'm Libertarian.

  • sold. I gladly and willingly give up social security! I want out. the Federal government can keep whatever I've wasted up to this point in my life if I no longer have to waste my money into it now. Since Social Security is already in debt and will not be around my my retirement who cares.

  • Looks like the republicans are going to stand together for nothing. All members of the house according to Boner will vote against the bill. The great General Patton said it best " If everyone thinks the same thing, no one is thinking". As much as I'd love 100% democrat support at least the ones who oppose, oppose because they have a legitimate complaint other than the bill is too hard to read. The republicans are irrelevent and are soon to be defunct. Get over it you loser inbreds.

  • 1,900 pages of regulation means it will fail. they use 1,900 pages as an example of this. they oppose it because it is unconstitutional.

  • HR 3200

    1990 pages of communist garbage....

    This bill was designed to put private healthcare out of business.

    Costs will go up.

    Add this along with HR2454 cap and trade....if it passes our economy is in serious trouble.

  • PELOSI FOR RETIREMENT 2010!

    John Dennis for the 8th District of California, aka. San Francisco 2010.

    Tell everybody you know, SF has NO EXCUSES THIS TIME!!

    Vote the b*tch out.

  • Rip off the Seniors, that's what these Leftist Democrats are all about. Heartless in their lust for power.

  • More like 3,000 pages of anti-American idiocy- that's what this socialist health bill will be by the time the Demons in Congress are done with it.

    These Democrats in Congress have now helped AARP to throw Senior Citizens under the bus with this awful bill, which will cut Medicare funding so much that Seniors will have to use the Medigap supplemental coverage. Conveniently for AARP (big donor of the DNC) AARP gets a huge amount of their funding from these Medigap insurance plans.

  • ITS YOUR JOB TO READ THE DAMN THING IDIOT NOT BITCH ABOUT HOW LONG IT IS! GO READ IT AND GET YOUR GODDAMN FACTS STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF SPEAKING TO RACIST MOBS!!! You useless drunk of a politician

  • you're the collectivist.  Your life sucks.

  • John Boner is retarded .... how does that Preamble go again, dipshit?

  • Hes drunk, all the time

  • OMG, are you kidding? Have you received a phone call or a knock on your door stating that you or your family HAS to get a vaccine? The rhetoric and fear you spout is laughable! No one is being forced to have ANY vaccine. STFU, you are what is exactly wrong with your party. If the lies and hypocracy of the GOP was oil, we would never have to buy a drop of oil from the middle east again!

  • Why should hard working Americans have to pay taxes to vaccinate irresponsible pregnant woman, children, and elderly people who expect a medical handout.

    Let them go out and get it on their own. They should be required do their homework to find the best commercially available vaccine and pay for it out-of-pocket in the free market.

  • I am suspicious of the user ConservativeHealth and their intention by this post. But anyway, nothing is a hand out if we all pay taxes. If I am down on my luck for a few months and have no health insurance, why is it so bad that people, kids etc get treated. A $10.00 presciption can cure a $40,000 er visit.

    Oh, please tell your elderly family members to give up their SS, medicare etc. You wont cause they would laugh at you.

  • Why can't the U.S. just expand MEDICAID to help those who cannot afford health care and need and want it? WHY do they think they need to reinvent the wheel and dismantle our present medical care system? And why make it MANDATORY when most Americans are satisfied with their present health care? Seems they are more interested in grabbing power & CONTROLLING the American population than they are interested in assisting folks to have better health & decent medical care.

  • Expand Medicaid? Cause the states would be broke in less than a month! After "Hillary Care" failed all the private insurance companies did was get cocky. And they are still doing it. The company you work for or if you have a private plan, they are raising your rates 15% January 1, 2010. AARP, AMA, and the head of the largest small business organization supports the new bill. I don't care if the bill is 10,000 pages, we need reform, and we need it now!

  • Keep at 'em, John! This joke of a bill (heard it's now at 2032 pages!) is an insult to every American. They should BURN IT and start from scratch. And it should be completely OPT IN, NOT MANDATED! It should be up to each American citizen whether or not they wish to participate or prefer to make other arrangements for their own private health care. This is STILL AMERICA-- LET's KEEP IT THAT WAY!

  • The GOP did start from scratch. They have a 218 page bill and it might as well be called, kill the Americans, increase the private health insurance companies profits bill. Why are you against the "opt out" provision? I think that is the best idea yet. Lets see these red states put their money where their mouth is. Opt out the day after the bill is signed. If your state opts out, you don't pay for and can be included in the reform. You want states rights, you got um!

  • Maybe Boner should read it, that is his job isn't it? When a politician takes on the job as public servant his or her job is reading and writing. Not speaking to racist mobs in front of the White House.

    I would like to see them come up with a solution instead of bring up baseless and twisted talking points.

    We need to:

    Make it illegal for health insurance companies to turn down people based on preexising conditions.

    Cover every American

    Healthcare should cost no more than 8% of income

  • This isn't healthcare reform. It's insurance takeover. It has nothing to do with the care you receive. It's about taking over 16 percent of the GDP. I dare any of you mentally ill libs to point out one clause that has anything to do with actual care.

  • This prick supported the needless invasion of Iraq. 1 Trillion dollars now and counting. ONE FUCKING TRILLION not to mention soldiers dying but this Alabama Hot pocket is too busy golfing to give a shit about dead soldiers. Fuck him douche bag.

  • By the time the Iraq war is all said and done, including all VA costs, that little price tag will be 3 TRILLION! The Republicans have no problem with that! But to insure America and help the citizens of this nation? Oh, fuck no! Well, there are consequences to elections and President Obama ran on healthcare reform. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

  • Just like the dumbo demo's. They could screw up a free meal by asking for change. Why would you expect they would do whats right with health care. Health care cost's too much. When the price goes down people should buy it. If its free people will abuse it for red mark on there but.

  • Who said healthcare is free? Nothing in the 1,990 pages says anything about healthcare being FREE.

  • Investigate 9/11 !!!!

  • This was from 4 months ago: watch?v=IliFkzYpIjg

    This was from 3 months ago: watch?v=36U9evdhbBI

    This was from 4 months ago: watch?v=AtPDfR3BYbI

    That being said, I support the Libertarian take on health care. So many doctor and E.R. visits could be eliminated if people weren't required by law to get a script for their needed treatments. Also, our laws force people to be treated by a small handful of overly qualified expensive medical professionals for every little scratch. Allow for diversity.

  • Dear GOP: Investigate 9/11. Investigate how Bush allowed the banks to issue crap mortgages despite the opposition of all 50 states consumer protection laws. Prosecute Cheney for lying to start the Iraq war. Shut the hell up about health care.

  • Actually they have been for several months now. Rep. Ryan first proposed his at the same time as the Democrats. There are a few others out there, but they haven't acquired enough cosigners to get to the debate stage within the committee, which is where all bills must begin. Unfortunately, too much T.V. time has been spent on the Democrat's bills and not on the other bills or the other suggestions. I for one support the libertarian stance of eliminating the FDA and the AMA to improve access.

  • Actually, the Republicans have a written a bill.

  • .... NEW!! = SECRET!........the Bill makes ALL PRIVATE INSURANCE ~~~ go away after 5 years!!!!!..........it just showed the SECRET inside the BILL that the Dims do not want anyone to know about! The Republican Senator on the News discussed the "dirty hidden secret".........BUT the DIM just = DENIED DENIED DENIED!............he rambled and ranted and would not answer the TV host's questions!

  • The last 350 pages of the 2000-page bill frightening illiterate Republicans discuss improving Indian health care and fixing the Indian laws. I really have no idea what to make of that other than the outrage at the bill size seem disingenuous.

    Add to that the fact that the formatting of laws is around 25 lines per page and 50 characters per line, and you really have to wonder why they complain at having to do a little reading. Why won't you do an honest days' work, Mr. Boehner?

  • That bill you see was not written by Republicans.

  • Boehner is a complete and total pussy. He got scared that Rush would bitch slap him so he decides that he regrest supporting his party's candidate in the congressional election tomorrow. I've got a better idea jackass. Instead of wasting people's time reading what you know you can't, try coming up with a bill that is actually an alternative and not the current system in different wording. Wake the hell up ohio!

  • Actually they do have legislation. If you watched the video you would have known that.

  • Tracy you dumb whore, I did watch the video and I saw the republican plan. Show me how it's different than the system we have.

  • How is changing the current tax code that punishes the unemployed, self-employed, underemployed, and minimum wage earners keeping the current system? How is allowing people the freedom to purchase (or not purchase) the health insurance plan of THEIR choosing keeping our current system? Now mind you, I think that better changes would come from abolishing the FDA, the AMA, and all farm subsidies, but then you are the one who would FORCE me into our current system with the democrats.

  • You're a typical republican who thinks you're an accountant who understands tax codes. Changing tax codes won't help the millions who can't get insurance and getting rid of every govt. program wont help either. It must be nice having the luxury to be a dumbass republican without having to think about things before having an opinion. God forbid you be forced into a system where you are guarenteed health care. when you come down with a terminal disease you won't be thinking tax codes.

  • A.) I am not a republican. I am a Libertarian. I was proving that your comments were false. I'm not the one who is making false claims on here. So who is the one forming baseless opinions? Show me one thing that I have said that is false. And for the record, I DO have health care. Being uninsured is actually CHEAPER and BETTER. I am not the idiot spending spending thousands of dollars every year on useless insurance bureaucrats.

  • Libertarian. Republican in sheep's clothing which is actually worse. Being a libertarian means that you trust the CEO's and Business owners to do the right thing. Put your uninsured ass in the hospital and when you get the 30,000 bill tell me how that is cheaper and better. Just because you can type doesn't mean you have an ounce of intelligence.

  • No. Being libertarian means that I trust the average citizens to be able to medicate and take care of themselves without having to be forced to see government approved professionals. We are already too regulated by the government. We force asthmatics to go to an ER for simple breathing treatments, because our government has a hostile view of nebulizers. We force them to dish out $100/year to have a doctor say, "Yes, you are still asthmatic," to get their needed meds. It is all lawful waste.

  • The other flaw in your thinking is that I HAVE to go to a hospital for everything. Not true. Also most procedures that I would be prone to face, cost less than that. And compare the one time $30,000 bill with just 20 years of savings at $3,000/year ($60,000). So by the time I am 52, you would have spent double on your precious bureaucrats. This isn't rocket science. Adding pencil pushers to the payroll INCREASES costs. You are the idiot in love with them.

  • And yes, the tax codes are a major reason for the gap between the uninsured and the insured. When an employer provides insurance, it is not considered income and therefore not subject to income taxes. This is why employers prefer in most situations to provide benefits instead of wages. They have to pay additional taxes above what you see on your pay stub. Those who purchase insurance on their own, have to do it post tax. The best they can hope for is a tax deductible.

  • So yes, our tax system discriminates against the unemployed, the self employed, the under employed, and those making minimum wage. Maybe you should do a little research into these subjects before opening your mouth.

  • Very good Tracy. Save three grand for twenty years so that way you can pay for the once in a lifetime open heart surgery. Only problem with that is I'm not God and can't predict that I could ward off one or two unexpected emergencies that would cost twenty grand. I say to you again, it must be nice being a stupid republican in sheep's clothing that think that you can play God and walk aimlessly through life thinking you have all the answers. Well done.

  • @wuzzntme Look dumbass, you are so miss guided it isn't funny. People like you shouldn't be allowed to vote. You haven't a clue on anything you are talking about. You have a half knowledgeing of things and think you know everything. you are so miss guieded. thats ok, just keep watching the public information system with their chills running down their leg. good new right, dumb ass.

  • @daveh69 you need to stop dropping acid before you post on here. If People like me weren't allowed to vote, than we'd have people like Sara Palin as our vice president or even worse, another four years of Bush. Another four years of wasting millions of dollars a month on a war that was based on a lie, kind of like your entire life. There's a reason why your party only won one popular vote since 1988 jackass. You lost, you're done, you're irrelevent. What did you get your degree in Dave?

  • You mean the war that Obama is continuing? You need to get your head out of the sand and quit thinking that the Democrats are any better than the Republicans. Both are statists driven by a lust for power.

  • @TracyII77 and it is time to vote them all out and show them who is boss. the problem is finding someone who will govern for what is best for the country and not for their pocket.

    When we fear the Government it is called tyranny, it is time for the Government to FEAR THE PEOPLE.

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    AND PROUD TO SYAY

  • @wuzzntme Yea its people like you were we have a Marxist communist loving kook in the white house. How is that change going for you. Oh and by the way, with the new health care your taxes are going up and you will have to purchase health care or face jail if you don't/

    So again, how is that change working for you. Palin has more experience than obama ever thought of. The only thing obama can do is his speachs. How the problem, Hitler had good speachs, how did that work out???

  • It's workin great for me fucker. How is hooked on phonics working for you. Learn how to spell before you write back. I have a job, I have health insurance and I bought it before I had the job, Palin has all the experience of a pta mom and if Obama really was like hitler your ass would be as good as dead because we can't have retarded asses like yourself polluting our planet.

  • Exactly. YOU are NOT GOD. So who are you to say what I need for health care and what I don't need? The truth is that I already proved that after just twenty years, I could afford two of your $30,000 surgeries. And the chances of that happening in those twenty years are very slim to none. So you are the one wasting money on pencil pushers. Seriously. How does paying someone else to turn around and pay my bills, save me money? How does that guarantee me health care? It doesn't.

  • Poor Tracy is oppressed by a nation that gives her the option of not paying 30,000 for a surgery. I also think you're full of shit. First of all if you have $60,000 saved up then you need to be doing seminars instead of wasting yours and everyone elses time on here. Second. You're a total tool bag if you saved up 60 grand only to spend it on surgeries. It must suck to be you.

  • How do I not have the option of paying the $30,000? If I am mandate to buy insurance, then I am mandated to spend that $30,000 regardless of whether or not I receive ANY surgeries. AND the government could still DENY me said surgeries even if I paid into the system for them. Do you honestly think that health care comes from fairies? What have you been smoking to come to such a conclusion? Seriously. How does ADDING bureaucrats to the payroll cut costs?

  • No. You are the tool to spend $60,000 and never receive ANY health care in return. Do you not understand that the $60,000 is what I SAVE over twenty years of not having insurance? I challenge you to look up your premiums (including what your employer pays instead of real wages) and add them up the next twenty years. And then add up your actual bills for a year and multiply that by twenty. And tell me how much you would save or lose. Be honest.

  • To help you understand the math: My premiums are $350.00/month w/out prescription drug coverage. For a year that adds up to $4200. I spend (with several chronic diseases mind you) about $1,000/year on my health care. By paying out of pocket, I save approximately $3,000/year. If you times that by twenty years, that comes out $60,000. By the time I'm 72, that will be $120,000. It is not rocket science. Insurance is nothing more than a lottery where the bureaucrats take out their admin fee.

  • @TracyII77 What the hell several chronic illnesses do you have that only cost you 1000 bucks a year. I work for an insurance company, and know what an MRI cost. Let the rest of know what free clinic you go to.

  • @TracyII77 I guess me and the other 40 million who buy insurance are idiots to get the benefits we need right away instead of saving and saving and praying that nothing goes wrong in the mean time. I guess being a prostitute is paying more these days despite the recession that Bush left us. I added up my premiums and you're absolutely right. In la la land where you live I could never get injured for 30 years in a row and have money growing mold on it in my closet.

  • That is false. If I get injured and need emergency care, by law, I wold be treated. I would then have the 20 years to pay it back. So yes, you are an idiot. You never did say which is higher, your premiums or your medical bills. What does an MRI have to do with chronic illnesses? Please tell me which chronic illnesses necessarily cost more than $1,000/year. I've given you real numbers. If you can't supply real numbers of your own, you are the one full of it.

  • Give me the real condition dumbass and I'll tell you. My premiums will always be more then my medical bills UNLESS I have one, just one, major accident. All of a sudden that bill costs more than all my years of contributing to the system. It's just a matter of choice Tracy. You are free to hoard money, I'll pay a little now so I won't have to pay alot later. I still think your full of shit to say that you have a "chronic" condition that you spend less then 1000 bucks a year for.

  • @wuzzntme I have asthma, allergies, fibromyalgia, GERD, restless legs syndrome and tachycardia. So once again I ask you, how does it cost more than $1,000/year? Give me the numbers that state that chronic conditions necessarily cost more than $1,000/year? Your saying that it cannot be true is just your misguided opinion. Give me facts. Unless you are incapable of forming a factual opinion. How am I hoarding money? You pay a little over TIME which is equal to ALOT. You waste money.

  • Those aren't chronic conditions. They're more of a pain in the ass than anything. Chronic conditions would be something like cancer, diabetes, aids. and I'm fine paying people who prevent me from paying 30,000 hospital bills. It's called capitolism hooker. Who do you cry to about havint auto insurance or facing jail time. Poor you thinking that you live in a truly free country. Dream on hooker. We were never truly free and never will be.

  • @wuzzntme Yes they are by definition chronic conditions. They are conditions that last over a lifetime, ergo they are chronic. Do you need an English lesson? And for the record my doctor has called them as such. And do you still refuse to give me an example of a chronic condition that necessarily costs over $1,000/year? And do you refuse to tell me how insurance saves me money? If you pay $120,000 over a lifetime in premiums, how is that saving you $30,000? Please explain your funny math?

  • You don't have to have insurance to see a doctor. So, yes you are an idiot for paying for a policy. If an insurance company can deny your claim, what benefits do you really have? And for the last time, how does ADDING bureaucrats to one's medical bill save money? Are you unable to answer my simple question?

  • in your little world its a simple question. The bureucrats are what saves me thousands of dollars when I get an appendectomy. If you don't like them don't use them. You can also not pay your taxes and go to jail but you do have options.

  • @wuzzntme out under. Your glorious leader will be a one term pres (and not the dictator you wish). He talks like hitler, but we are onto him and won't let him succeed..

    I AM A PROUD AMERICAN

    DISABLED VET

    AND YOU CAN KISS MY WHITE ASS

    DO SPELL CHECK ON THIS UNTIL THE WORMS EAT WHAT LITTLE BRAIN YOU HAVE

  • @wuzzntmenot allow dumb ass like you push your stupidity around. Again, you prove my point, you can't show that I am wrong, just like a tipicle lib, you can't stand the fact that I and 85% of americans disagree with you. You are in a minority and you just can't stand it. I love it, so take your liberal ass, communist, socialist, marxiist loving ego to the rock you crawled from

  • @wuzzntme  you are surely the biggest dumb ass.... You don't have options, as far as my spelling byte me. if you can't understand what I am saying then WTF. Health care won't pass, this country will

  • @wuzzntme: How do paying bureaucrats save you thousands of dollars for an appendectomy? How does ADDING salaries to your bill save you money? What part of you are paying for your appendectomy and then some with your premiums do you fail to understand? Or do you have faeries perform surgeries on you? How is the threat of jail giving me an option? Do you threaten jail (slavery) to everyone you disagree with?

  • Why don't you try visiting another country then come back and tell me how bad ours is. There are people in other places I've been that would love to be homeless in America and you're bitching about a health insurance system that saves you money in exchange for a service. Poor oppressed Tracy.

  • @wuzzntme I've been in more countries then you have ever thought of. Again talking out your ass. Hmmmmmm, it is true, you are a typical lib low life. Lives at home with mommy, no life and wants everyone else to suffer with youi. Get out of the house and get a job you can handle. Hmmmm - try McDonalds, o wait, you need to have some common sense. ok cleaning the floor.

  • @wuzzntme Actually, I grew up in Europe. Where have you been? And how does spending $120,000 over my lifetime for a $30,000 surgery save me money? Show me how your magical math works.

  • @wuzzntme The problem is, you aren't guaranteed squat, Hopefully there is enough money which the governemt can steel to make your utopia come true. Everywhere else it has bankrupted the government and slowed its growth down.

    Socialized Health care doesnt work

    I am a Disabled VET

    and proud to say.

    Oh and by the way, before you point out the VA medical system. If you want it, you see I was enjured while serving this country to protect idiots like you, so you have the freedom to be stupid

  • Well done whodini. Now show me how you protected my country by going to Vietnam. Last time I checked, we were the ones who invaded them. Now as far as protecting the country, I'd be proud to go to the front lines to protect my country from jackasses like you. Maybe if you learned how to read in school you'd realize that its not socialized health care. I actually work in the insurance business and have an idea of how all this goes down. Kiss my ass you fuckin loser.

  • @wuzzntme go fuck your self, you have not a clue about anything you are talking about. You are a tipickle mindless twirp, livving off of momoies money. Vietnam was lost due to morons like you, and the miss information which was spouted out. If it wasn't for the military this country would be speaking chinese, german, and hitler your hero would be ruler of the world.

  • Son, don't even think for a second you know who my hero's are. My grandpa was in wwII actively defending our country from a legitimate threat and not carrying out a wasted political agenda like vietnam. If you want a history lesson I will school your ass. And as far as money is concerned, I damn sure have it and I did it by going to work everyday instead of calling in sick and going to a god damn tea party.

  • @wuzzntme look dick, I am not your son, wouldn't want to be related to any idiot liberal. I go by facts you on the other hand are just spitting on the memories of your brave hero relatives.  You haven't a clue on what you are talking about. I'll bet you where part of the cooks protesting the war and getting paid for it.

  • @wuzzntme I was at the tea party why weren't you. If you are freedom loving, God fearing person of iteligence, then you should be there fighting againsta a government your grandfather faught against. You have no clue, just like all other liberals which won't question what is going on and just following the sheep to slaughter

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    AND PROUD TO SAY

  • My grandfather fought against the nazis you homo. He wasn't a treasonous bastard who fought against his own govt. like you tea bagging faggots. I wasn't at the tea party because I was at work. Check into it sometime. I'd say you're a damn disabled vet alright. Mentally disabled. You prove that everytime you write back to me.

  • @wuzzntme So, why don't you check your facts first before you open your pie whole.

    Obama is destroying the Dems and they will loose big time in 2010, wo enjoy your utopia and stupity while it last.

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    AND PROUD TO SAY TO ANYONE.

    If you can't defend the constitution, then stand be hind me and the many other brave and proud, who will defend this country

  • Hey Dave, I thanked you for your service earlier, but that doesn't give you a right to spread misinformation about Obama and the Democrats. We love our country too you know. Question for you, are you using the government run VA health care by any chance?

  • I am not spreading misinformation, unlike the dems, it gives me every right to speak my mind. The facts are there and you just want to believe these dems including some republicans. I am a conservative and believe in lower taxes, smaller government, unlike you I don't want the governemt controlling my life, they need to move out of the way, so I /we can make this an even better country. Unlike what obama and the dems want.

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    and proud to say

  • @jensen1901 Of course I am, I earned it. I am disabled due to the military and my service to this country. How about you, or are you the kind who thinks that everyone owes you? Obama and the democrats could care less about anyone except for them. Just listen to them talk.

    Obama and the Dems are destroying this country, the facts are there. What about the socialist loving fools obama has around him. Devoite communist,

  • Sigh. Dave, turn of the Fox News. The government is not "controlling your life." They haven't ever nor will they ever. Now the aluens, that's a different story...lol.

  • @jensen1901 You need to watch fox, keep watching all the others. They won't be lasting much longer anyway. Hmmmm, wonder why fox's ratings are going through the roof, could it be that people are starting to wakeup to what the government is doing. Take your blinders off and come join us in taking back this country.

    Watch Glen Beck, you actually could learn something usefull

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    and proud to say

  • I do watch Fox. Mostly for laughs, but I admit I am part of the problem. But if you watch it for "news" you have problems my friend. Fox's ratings don't mean it is the truth. "Kung Fu Panda" made more money at the Box Office last year than "Iron Man." Does that make it a better movie? No. Fox has hot hosts to increase ratings and focuses on controversial wedge issues to hook viewers. Sadly for CNN, they focus on the real news in other countries. Americans are mostly dumb so they tune out.

  • @jensen1901 I WILL DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC

    you???

  • @jensen1901 You are pathetic, for instance Fox (Glen Beck) has come out with those czars? What up with that? Hannity, has shown the realationship with the other ratical socialist, what up with that. You can't argue with he facts. This is what these people are. And you support this, these people are running to the boarder with socialism, the facts are there. The biggest problem is you just do't want to admit it, or you incourage it?

  • Dave you really do need to stop watching so much Fox, seriously. Here are sme facts for you: the very first "czar" was installed under Roosevelt. He had 12. GW Bush had 31 Czars, including an "AIDS Czar" an "Abstinence Czar" (Randal Tobias) and a Science Czar (John Marburger). Obama has 32 czars, but of the 32 positions in Becks list, only eight are Obama-appointed, unconfirmed, brand new czars. And the term "czar" is just shorthand for policy advisor. Not quite evil as Beck thinks.

  • @jensen1901 You need to watch more of fox. I don't understand why people like yourself is welcoming socialism?? Look at his czars, you don't deny, they are socialist? Why doesn't this bother you? Just for the record, I was against all the spending the Repubs was doing as well.

    If I hear another rich person say that we need to raised taxs on the rich, I will hide my money. Because they aren't talking about the rich are they.

  • That is false.  They already do. When was the last time you were allowed to have a prescription renewed without having to go to a doctor first? When was the last time you could see the medical professional of your choosing to have a broken bone set? When was the last an asthmatic could buy a nebulizer without a prescription? We have TOO much government. That is what has driven up costs.

  • @jensen1901 Me using the VA is just another way for people like you trying to diminish people like me. You are truly pathetic and don't even have a clue on what you are talking about.

  • You didn't lose vietnam to people like me because I wasn't born when it was going on. You lost because you stuck your nose where it didn't belong. You still havn't shown me how you protected this country during vietnam. My hats off to you for making the decision to go but there are policeman and teachers who work in the inner city who do more to protect our country then you did. Hide behind that uniform and act like a brave man.

  • @wuzzntme You are like jane fonda, your hero, People like you, supporting communist, socialism and the sort. You are miss guided, the vietnam war was lost due to people like you. The troops allow you to talk crap with no substance.

    The US Military is keeping this country from being taken over by, china, russia nad the sort

    I AM A DISABLED VET

    AND PROUD TO SAY

  • @daveh69 You can't blame me because you couldn't get the job done in vietnam dave. I wasn't born when all that was going on. The troops also allow you to live on my taxes punk. and before you go accusing other countries of plotting to take us over you better get your facts straight. I promise you they wouldn't want to take over this country knowing they would have to support peices of monkey shit like you son. Keep em comin donkey fucker

  • @wuzzntme You really can't be that stupid, I blame people like you. The war was lost not due to the troops, but do to people like you. And then I compared you to Jane Fonda ( if you don't know who this person is and what she did, then look it up). The war was lost to people like you! and the policticians. The war was to fight for freedom from Communist Russia.

    You again need to get the facts.

    I AM A DISALBED VET

    AND PROUD TO SAY

  • Now on to 2010. As long as Fox News tells you that you are significant, I'm sure you will believe it and not ask questions. If your party was so relevent and had one legitimate idea, you wouldn't have a track record of winning one popular vote victory since 1988. There are your facts jackass. As I said, I'm happy to protect the country and the constitution from a horseass like yourself who can't say anything other than what he learned from Rush Limpballs.

  • @wuzzntme There are facts fool, and you don't want to see them, thats ok, just keep your head in your four point contact and let the true patriots fight for our God given rights. Maybe you will wake up and the truth will hit you like so many other.s

  • If you do the math its only about 1000 pages of a novel, and 800 pages of scholarly journal articles. Suck it up man. As a grad student I read that every week.

  • THEY have 1990 pages of legislation produced by days, weeks, and months of bargaining and compromise with US. Now, WE counter that with a few pages of talking-points by which we propose to scrap everything and start re-bargaining re-bargaining from the end of the process.

    WE'RE so clever. WE think no one will catch on that WE can keep this up until the final result will be NO CHANGE. STATUS QUO. The insurance companies make out like bandits, we get reelected - and the public suffers. Ha ha.

  • Google "Progressive Capitalist H.R 3962" to find my blog on this.

  • Pelosi won't even read the 1990-page bill she supports.

  • You have no source for this response...

    BTW: The Civil Rights Bill of 1964 was well over 5000 pages......and there have been others before Congress with thousands more.

    It's sheeple like you who believe everything the gods of the tinhatters say...people like this moron.

  • And how successful has that bill actually been? Just because we have been stupid in the past doesn't excuse stupidity now.

  • A black man is president now. A well educated, successful black man. The Civil Rights bill seems to be pretty darned successful.

  • So Obama is ONLY president because of legislation? Without the help of a bunch of white legislators he would have been unable to become president? Please explain how the Civil Rights bill is actually what produced his success. And what about all of the other African Americans in this country? Are you saying that racism is dead? Are you saying that massive amounts of African Americans are not still living in poverty?

  • Without civil rights legislation, Obama would never have been able to achieve his success.

    Yes there are massive numbers of African Americans living in poverty (along with white people) but without the civil rights legislation, the ones that have become successful, would have still been riding the back of the bus, both metaphorically and literally.

  • Wow, what kind of a racist are you to state emphatically that Obama could not become president without the legislation. Seriously. Thurgood Marshall reached the highest court without the need for legislation. Several African Americans had succeeded BEFORE the legislation. You must think very poorly of Obama. And the very fact that massive amounts of African Americans still live in poverty proves that the legislation did not fulfill its promises.

  • It is quite simple. It would have been far far harder for Obama to win without the legislation. Hell, in some states, without civil rights legislation, it would have been illegal for him to even exist, as interracial relationships were illegal.

  • That is false. The only thing those states needed as had happened by the time of the writing of the legislation was to repeal the bad legislation on the books. Writing MORE legislation does not solve anything. And yes, you are a racist for saying that Obama could not be president without legislation. It is a fact that Thurgood Marshall rose to the highest court without the Civil Rights bill. Therefore your argument holds no water.

  • It was much harder for him to do it.

    He was barred from the University of Maryland School of Law, for example, and had to go elsewhere to get his qualification. The number of hurdles that would have had to have been jumped for Obama to ascend to the presidency would have been far greater had there not been such legislation, right down to allowing black people the vote.

  • You do realize that African Americans were granted the right to vote shortly after the Civil War? The Civil Rights bill did not give them that right, since they already had that right.  And you have just confirmed that the legislation was not necessary for Obama to become president. And are you still ignoring the massive amounts of African Americans that still live in poverty?

  • They were only granted the right to vote on paper.

    There were many many Jim Crow laws that discouraged them from voting, especially in certain states.

  • And the court was already starting to overturn those unjust laws. The legislation was unnecessary. The fact that African Americans were succeeding before the legislation, and the fact that massive amounts of African Americans still live in poverty today prove the dismal failure of the legislation.

  • They were succeeding before the legislation, but they were being hindered.

  • And they are still hindered today. So yes, the legislation was a failure. And as I have already stated. The bad legislation was being removed by the courts as it should be. Adding more legislation was unnecessary. And you still have yet to address the fact that massive amounts of African Americans are still living in poverty today. That means the legislation failed.

  • The gov. can't even handle Medicare and Social Security. So how will they handle something like this? Some say that it was actually written by the big insurance companies. Is that true? Others say that the Insurance companies dont want it because of the competition. I wonder who is telling the truth. What about the states who opt out? Will they too have to pay taxes to support this monster?

  • Oh, come on John. You only care about bureaucracy when it doesn't benefit you somehow. If any of you sycophants in government had any integrity we wouldn't have to be dealing with a government constantly looking for ways to take from the citizens.
