Barbara Boxer hasn't held any open to public town hall meetings in the entire campaign. What a coward.
You found the lump in your chest through a SELF EXAM, not a mammogram. You even said that the mammogram you got 2 weeks earlier didn't detect the lump.
Carly Fiorina laid off 18,000 employees from HP while she was CEO. She sent jobs overseas. She lost her job because of her own conduct while CEO. There is a reason Senator Boxer deserves to be called by her title, as General Walsh had been calling men by their title as "Senator" ... nothing wrong with that at all. Carly can't keep a job for 20 years.
Do you also support witches, the devil, and witchcraft also???
Carl Rove, the Young Guns, the Republican Party and Tea Party send money to O'Donnell who dabbled into witches, blood alters, and witchcraft and support the former witch for US Senator.
If they didn't know she was a former witch, it's even WORSE as how do you expect them to ever find the weapons of mass destruction???
Palin, Angle, O'Donnell= WHACKOS and LUNATICS!!!! Are you one?????
She looks so much like the actress, Nana Visitor(a.k.a. Major/Colonel Kira), from Star Trek: DS9!....Geez, she even sounds like her as well!..........I wonder if they're distant relatives?
If Carly is elected, she's tell us all that we do not have the right to be American.
And speaking of her Cancer, Karma is a pretty strong force in the world, wouldn't you say? But after robbing HP, Carly had the money to fix her cancer, but what about the 100's of children that she stripped of their helth coverage and left them to die? What about them?.

I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy, and I respect Ms Fiorina for being such a fighter. But I actually know this woman, I used to work for her at HP. And trust you me... YOU DO NOT WANT HER IN A POSITION OF POWER!!! I have heard her say to a regional manager, "I will cut your child's throat if your team doesn't make quota". She is NOT a problem solver, she is a problem creator... YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS WOMAN, YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THIS WOMAN!!!!!!
SHE'S ON THE FORBES LIST FOR WORST CEO'S OF ALL TIME. You republicans sure know how to pick 'em. Whitman wasn't that better of a choice either, during her time as CEO her shares DROPPED by a third. Just what we need California, a fucking moron who ran her company into the ground.
Anybody notice how she pretty much, has no position on illegal immigration? I hope this isn't how she plans to govern..... Just ignore, the hot button issues. it's a very easy subject to dodge. Just blame it on the feds. Meanwhile, California continues to circle the drain. Stopping the illegal immigrant invasion, would go along way toward curing the health care issues, of which she speaks.
China and India are very grateful for all the jobs she outsourced to them when she was CEO of HP. HP almost went out of business during her stay. HP paid her $21 million to get the hell out. Gee Cal is that what you need: A has been CEO?
Glad she's healthy. But Carly, "cost" is all you considered when you laid waste to people's lives who worked for HP and Compaq. Firing American workers while sending jobs overseas, devastating the company that you were hired to lead. You're philosophy is another sad example of destroying American companies while you fill your own golden parachute. You are an example of exactly what we are trying to remove from Washington.
Create Jobs? anyone With an HP call for support or help u get put on the phone with some guy in india that asks for serial number 6 times and never solves the problem. if u think im kidding please call HP , she did all this to maximize profits becuase paying foreigners is cheaper. vote for this lady if u also like to exchange lives for profit, and if u support the war in iraq paying private companies $10 for a 1 use styrofoam plate.
Two weeks after a clear mamogram, SHE found a lump???? I haven't had a mamogram in 15 years and will not! Thanks for confirming what I already knew about mamograms!
yes, I guess she never had money-problems with healthcare. Maybe she should tell us stories about other women in US who have no regular check-ups and cannot receive proper treatment because people she associates with (read GOP) like the way healthcare is - corporate owned, profit-run and a priviledge rather than a human right.
So, Carly, do we really want CORPORATE bureaucrats, lobbyists, overheads, ads and CEO bonuses to be paid for with our health insurance money? I didn't think so...
Oooh, your capital letters look so tough, iron-bobby :))) No worries, you don't need to buy me a health insurance, I'm not sure you'd know how to do it... without prozac. Actually, don't pay taxes at all. But, please don't ever drive on "our" roads or call 911 or go to library (yeah, I know... you won't) or use medicare when 65 - cause the rest of us paid for it - so step off and keep clear.
So how can you be campaigning against career politicians when you yourself supported John Mccain, someone who has been in congress and has made it his Career. talk about HIPOCRISY!!!!!!
OK, seriously, this is absurd. First, the panel is made up of doctors, half of whom are women. Second, the recommendations were crafted by oncologists on a sub-committee. Third, serious journalists have studied the ideas laid out by the committee and underscored that early testing doesn't significantly improve a woman's chances of survival. You are entitled to your opinions but not to your facts.
Really, Ms. Fiorina, you're too smart (and educated) to play Sarah Palin. Stop it.
Those of you that have doubts on where you stand with these government programs then read some history, study basic economics - do something different to try to figure out what this stuff really is about.
Capitalism and the free market are flawed but our federal government is way more devious and corrupt than any private business could ever be, with Obama and Friends being the worst so far.
Republicans don't like big Insurance companies. Unfortunately government mandates and legislation, largely sponsored by democrats, ensure monopolies, forced coverage that bloats premiums, and no free market between states for coverge plans to compete.
We can fix health care by allowing companies to compete between state borders and to stop mandating coverages for elective care items, It would be similar to how my oil change cost isn't paid for with your car insurance premium.
Republicans do not seem to mind if insurance industry bureaucrats increase their corporate profits by denying care and making health care decisions for us as they have for decades. We could pay for health care for everyone with the profits of the insurance companies. Everyone needs health care, but why does it have to be controlled by insurance companies?
fuck government run health care. It's only going to raise prices and only the people in government will get good care. just like a communist country. fuck Obama!
This is so deeply offensive on so many levels. Carly won her battle with cancer because she is a multimillionaire. White, rich and powerful. Yes we do want government on the side of people who are not rich and white, Carly. We don't want your rich, white Republican owners of insurance companies having THEIR beaucrats making decisions on saving lives. They don't care about our health. They, like you, only care about white people making obscene profits. You will fail in 2010, Boxer wins.
So buy an insurance plan that includes screening for cancer. What's the problem?
As for mandating, the mandates are for minimum coverage. There is absolutely no focus on telling insurance companies what additional coverage they can offer.
As for gov.'t plans, of course the gov't will determine coverage. How is that any different than private insur. co.'s determining what will be covered under their plans? Hmmm?

Republicans usually sell-out other people to get their way.
Carly Fiorina is selling her own soul by playing politics with health care and repeating the fearmongering talking points of the conservative right.
This woman is sooo fake she is like a car salesmen for Pinto's. Her acting job here is your typical conservative, acting out a role, trying to portray herself as the victim being overly emotional trying to get sympathy points.
Go screw Carly, we all remember the scandal at HP!
God can forgive and redemption is within the reach of all of us.Carly Fioina is telling a personal story of survival, funny how that helps each one that goes through it has a chance a redemption. I am giving her the benefit over coming scandal and having redemption..You know what else is funny liberals are usually the first to condemn and the last to forgive. Yes, the left is so righteous and lofty, NOT.
DillonX- are you really that stupid? "Public option" is the road to Brit/Canadian style "single payer" and INCREASED deathrates for breast (and prostate cancers). Get the wax outta your ears and the leftcult ideology outta your brain.
Why does every dickhead that wants to slam other countries h.c. systems refer to cancer survival rates? The survival rates in the U.S. relative to other countries is favorable for cancer, unfavorable for some other medical condition, and overall about average.
However the U.S. ranks about dead last in terms of universal access.
How's Obama aka Barry Soetoro's CHANGE working for ya? Suckers, he is a freaking FASCIST, NARCIST, idealistic idiot who should be in his favorite country, CUBA.
Your aunt went shopping for insurance only AFTER she was diagnosed. My wife does not have breast cancer but she DOES have health insurance. If your aunt had had health insurance part of my wife's premiums would have paid for your aunt's treatments. If everyone is forced onto a single payer, government run program, it will do exactly like Medical and Medicare do today. It will deny reimbursement for procedures at rates many times higher than those of private insurance plans.
"I believe Christ supports empathy, social justice, Creation protection, and healthcare for all. I believe His teachings are compatible with Judaism, Islam, Eastern religions and secular-humanist philosophies. I am pro-life and pro-choice, a nuanced position only an intellectual can hold."
We, the lowly, are obviously not qualified to debate him. Ha, ha, ha.
Unless she was too old or it she died on the off year of getting an exam. Can't waste the precious resources of the government on someone that isn't worth it.
With all respect, how does the fact that you're a Christian minister affect your determination that "single payer" would have saved your aunt's life? It's as if someone said: "As a lawyer, I think the Pittsburg Penguins will likely win the Stanley Cup again this year!"
Well my aunt has healthcare, and her insurance allowed her to get a mammogram and it saved her life.
If you had your way, she'd be kicked off her healthcare plan and thrown into the single payer like everyone else. Then my aunt and your aunt would be without access to mammograms prior to 50.
Maybe you should take better care of your aunt instead of ruining it for my aunt, jerk.
So you would be ruining health care for the vast majority of Americans who have and are happy with their existing coverage to cover the very small minority who cannot afford health care, are legal citizens, and are not eligible for government assistance.
This is a bad deal for both my aunt and the country. You might not understand why, but don't be shocked when health care dies in the senate, because a majority do and are opposed to the plan.
Oh and one more thing, because clearly you aren't bringing a full deck to the debate.
Single payer healthcare means millions with coverage will be dropped by their employers and forced onto the government plan where they will lose their choice in healthcare coverage provider and every issue of coverage will be decided by special interest groups.
So no, it doesn't mean she would have to pay a little more. It means she no longer gets a mammogram.
@LLORT3 You know what, who the hell are you to say people need to sacrifice for the greater good? Who are you to speak for others? Last i checked this was America and not a socialist European nation. Go to fucking Canada.
@LLORT3 Good for you. I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately, here in america, i do not trust our govt and the people who claim to want to help others by making everything so expensive for some, to pay for others. When all they really have to do is open the markets for insurance companies and make them compete against each other. See, we dont have a car insurance problem, capitalism seems to keep that pretty cheap for us. It is when govt gets involved that we have problems. So, enjoy Israel.
Rich black men run those companies also... WE ARE THE GOVERNMENTS BANK! Hello people. Do you want the people in charge of making sure people follow regulations be the people who also get to make up the regulations? It is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. I will take the "Rich White man's world" over your "Stupid Rich Liberal man's world" any day. The RWM world produces ALOT more jobs and opportunities for ALL of us, if you are willing to go OUT AND GET IT!
and you don't have the amazing health care that we do in America. we have less cancer deaths than anywhere in the world. maybe your aunt would have survived here if she had insurance and kept it current from her youth.
In other words, she didn't seek insurance until it was too late. So she wanted other peoples premiums to pay for her surgery.
Why didnt she go back to Israel then? Not to mention the fact that Israel has FAR less people and illegal aliens in the country then the USA. this universal health care will cost us trillions of dollars we just don't have. So in the end no one will get the care that they need even when rates go up.
So why didnt she have insurance BEFORE she needed it like the rest of us? Did she think she would never need a doctor or figured that when she did she would just get insurance then?
There is nothing broken with the system other than government involvement, the main problem is lack of understanding or an attempt to screw the system by people then they blame anyone but themselves.
before you make a statement that insurance is too expensive here think about this FACT. Insurance companies make at the most 3% profit. NYS alone charges 9% on every medical treatment from an ambulance to an asperine. Also The government medicair has more refusals for treatment than any insurer in the united states. Single payer here wont work period.
If they made no profits, why would they do it then? how would you get people to invest in them? How would they get good people to work for them. Stop trying to live in utopia and deal in reality
Do you want to have surgery from minimum wage dr's? Profit motive is not evil! It drives people to greatness! It insures quality and avalibility! With out profit the system will quickly fall to third world standards. Inovation will be gone and new tech will be a thing of the past! Advanced medicine's lifes blood is profit!
When their is no competition and single payer the person who needs the care has no buying power. If you can choose to go else where for service providers are forced to improve and control costs. Single payer destroys that. Sorry for your aunt. By the way I love Isreal!
You just dont get it. We can't afford to insure so many people in a public option. The country will bankrupt then NO one can get insurance. What is so hard to understand? all these social programs cost a lot of money, and we have a hell of a lot more people than israel does. The GDP is not high enough to sustain all this "government handout" stuff.
i understand but a country that can afford a 1 trillion 10 year plan overseas to build a third world nation should also be able to build its own for the same cost
You just don't understand quite a bit apparently. Helping build an economy that gives back is far different from a 6 trillion dollar hole in 5 years that only grows and grows and grows. Eventually you run out of money with the health care. The country building should be repaid and then help both economies through commerce.
our best earners(the rich) already pay a gross % of the tax bill! They are the people that used to invest and hire people when they had some money to work with.
NO, a regulation that doesn't allow insurance companies to deny coverage based upon pre-existing conditions would have saved her. Waiting two tyears for detection to save money won't.
It has been suggested by republicans, but the democrats shot it down. along with selling insurance across state lines. They don't want free market competition. They want government control.
i think selling should not be part of the equation. my aunt would still not be with me if the republicans had their way.
i think both parties are corrupt and are only wanting to keep your companies legal, what needs to happen is like here in israel where we make sure we cover all citizens and then worry about starting wars.
You know that is about the most ridiculous statement I have heard the republicans. that is a joke. You just dont get it. It is the democrats that are taxing and controlling everything. the republicans are for free trade mostly. Do you see computers costing more or less? High grade electronics are cheaper because of free market, no govt intervention. The dems are the ones involving govt and taxing everything maki9ng it more expensive
Your aunt would be alive if insurance companies could compete around the states for business. They would have to compete for business, give lower rates and cover much more to beat the other insurance companies for business. But the democrats want to control it all, they tax, regulate and keep that from happening.
maybe but i think if there is single payer then she would be alive for sure, no questions.
i am really sad about this but it must be talked about, there are many like my aunt who are denied care due to politicians favoring profits over people

DillonX- are you really that stupid? "Public option" is the road to Brit/Canadian style "single payer" and INCREASED deathrates for breast (and prostate cancers). Get the wax outta your ears and the leftcult ideology outta your brain.

Why does every dickhead that wants to slam other countries h.c. systems refer to cancer survival rates? The survival rates in the U.S. relative to other countries is favorable for cancer, unfavorable for some other medical condition, and overall about average.
However the U.S. ranks about dead last in terms of universal access.

Your aunt went shopping for insurance only AFTER she was diagnosed. My wife does not have breast cancer but she DOES have health insurance. If your aunt had had health insurance part of my wife's premiums would have paid for your aunt's treatments. If everyone is forced onto a single payer, government run program, it will do exactly like Medical and Medicare do today. It will deny reimbursement for procedures at rates many times higher than those of private insurance plans.

From LLORT3's profile
"I believe Christ supports empathy, social justice, Creation protection, and healthcare for all. I believe His teachings are compatible with Judaism, Islam, Eastern religions and secular-humanist philosophies. I am pro-life and pro-choice, a nuanced position only an intellectual can hold."
We, the lowly, are obviously not qualified to debate him. Ha, ha, ha.

my aunt died of breast cancer because she was not as rich and fortunate as you.
every insurance company she tried to get help from told her that breast cancer is a pre-existing condition.
as a Christian minister, i think single payer healthcare that covers all people would have saved my aunt.

Unless she was too old or it she died on the off year of getting an exam. Can't waste the precious resources of the government on someone that isn't worth it.

With all respect, how does the fact that you're a Christian minister affect your determination that "single payer" would have saved your aunt's life? It's as if someone said: "As a lawyer, I think the Pittsburg Penguins will likely win the Stanley Cup again this year!"

Well my aunt has healthcare, and her insurance allowed her to get a mammogram and it saved her life.
If you had your way, she'd be kicked off her healthcare plan and thrown into the single payer like everyone else. Then my aunt and your aunt would be without access to mammograms prior to 50.
Maybe you should take better care of your aunt instead of ruining it for my aunt, jerk.

i would rather ruin it for your aunt meaning make her pay a little more if it would mean my aunt lived
LLORT3 2 years ago
ruining it for my aunt, means my aunt dies.
So you would be ruining health care for the vast majority of Americans who have and are happy with their existing coverage to cover the very small minority who cannot afford health care, are legal citizens, and are not eligible for government assistance.
This is a bad deal for both my aunt and the country. You might not understand why, but don't be shocked when health care dies in the senate, because a majority do and are opposed to the plan.
justinhoffma 2 years ago 3
Oh and one more thing, because clearly you aren't bringing a full deck to the debate.
Single payer healthcare means millions with coverage will be dropped by their employers and forced onto the government plan where they will lose their choice in healthcare coverage provider and every issue of coverage will be decided by special interest groups.
So no, it doesn't mean she would have to pay a little more. It means she no longer gets a mammogram.
justinhoffma 2 years ago 4
sometimes people have to sacrifice for the greater good. if it means your aunt loses her healthcare, so be it.
obviously i cannot bring my aunt back which is why i think single payer should have been mandatory

LLORT3 2 years ago
@LLORT3 Good for you. I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately, here in america, i do not trust our govt and the people who claim to want to help others by making everything so expensive for some, to pay for others. When all they really have to do is open the markets for insurance companies and make them compete against each other. See, we dont have a car insurance problem, capitalism seems to keep that pretty cheap for us. It is when govt gets involved that we have problems. So, enjoy Israel.

Rich black men run those companies also... WE ARE THE GOVERNMENTS BANK! Hello people.

my aunt was in USA when she was denied care :(
in Israel she would have been covered :(
LLORT3 2 years ago
In other words, she didn't seek insurance until it was too late. So she wanted other peoples premiums to pay for her surgery.
Why didnt she go back to Israel then? Not to mention the fact that Israel has FAR less people and illegal aliens in the country then the USA. this universal health care will cost us trillions of dollars we just don't have. So in the end no one will get the care that they need even when rates go up.
themunz126 2 years ago
my aunt is USA citizen, she has no ties to Israel...
LLORT3 2 years ago
So why didnt she have insurance BEFORE she needed it like the rest of us? Did she think she would never need a doctor or figured that when she did she would just get insurance then?
There is nothing broken with the system other than government involvement, the main problem is lack of understanding or an attempt to screw the system by people then they blame anyone but themselves.
themunz126 2 years ago
my aunt was not able to afford insurance.
that is why she was not covered. she was also not poor enough to qualify for medicaid
LLORT3 2 years ago
before you make a statement that insurance is too expensive here think about this FACT. Insurance companies make at the most 3% profit. NYS alone charges 9% on every medical treatment from an ambulance to an asperine. Also The government medicair has more refusals for treatment than any insurer in the united states. Single payer here wont work period.
themunz126 2 years ago
i think insurance companies should not be allowed to make any profits though.
if you add up their profits, they are making it on the backs of the poor, it is really immoral.
as a Christian minister i can't accept that. :(
LLORT3 2 years ago
If they made no profits, why would they do it then? how would you get people to invest in them? How would they get good people to work for them. Stop trying to live in utopia and deal in reality
themunz126 2 years ago 2
Do you want to have surgery from minimum wage dr's? Profit motive is not evil! It drives people to greatness! It insures quality and avalibility! With out profit the system will quickly fall to third world standards. Inovation will be gone and new tech will be a thing of the past! Advanced medicine's lifes blood is profit!

When their is no competition and single payer the person who needs the care has no buying power. If you can choose to go else where for service providers are forced to improve and control costs. Single payer destroys that. Sorry for your aunt. By the way I love Isreal!

my point is that she is a USA citizen, if USA had single payer like Israel has, she would be with me today :(

You just dont get it. We can't afford to insure so many people in a public option. The country will bankrupt then NO one can get insurance. What is so hard to understand? all these social programs cost a lot of money, and we have a hell of a lot more people than israel does. The GDP is not high enough to sustain all this "government handout" stuff.
themunz126 2 years ago
i understand but a country that can afford a 1 trillion 10 year plan overseas to build a third world nation should also be able to build its own for the same cost
LLORT3 2 years ago
You just don't understand quite a bit apparently. Helping build an economy that gives back is far different from a 6 trillion dollar hole in 5 years that only grows and grows and grows. Eventually you run out of money with the health care. The country building should be repaid and then help both economies through commerce.

NO, a regulation that doesn't allow insurance companies to deny coverage based upon pre-existing conditions would have saved her. Waiting two tyears for detection to save money won't.

that would be a good start for USA to have, a ban on pre existing conditions.

It has been suggested by republicans, but the democrats shot it down. along with selling insurance across state lines. They don't want free market competition. They want government control.
themunz126 2 years ago 3
i think selling should not be part of the equation. my aunt would still not be with me if the republicans had their way.
i think both parties are corrupt and are only wanting to keep your companies legal, what needs to happen is like here in israel where we make sure we cover all citizens and then worry about starting wars.
LLORT3 2 years ago
You know that is about the most ridiculous statement I have heard the republicans. that is a joke. You just dont get it. It is the democrats that are taxing and controlling everything. the republicans are for free trade mostly. Do you see computers costing more or less? High grade electronics are cheaper because of free market, no govt intervention. The dems are the ones involving govt and taxing everything maki9ng it more expensive
themunz126 2 years ago 2
Your aunt would be alive if insurance companies could compete around the states for business. They would have to compete for business, give lower rates and cover much more to beat the other insurance companies for business. But the democrats want to control it all, they tax, regulate and keep that from happening.
themunz126 2 years ago 2
maybe but i think if there is single payer then she would be alive for sure, no questions.
i am really sad about this but it must be talked about, there are many like my aunt who are denied care due to politicians favoring profits over people
