We need to cut the debt..

President Obama is right, lower the corporate tax rate, end there Entitlements and collect more tax dollars.

Entitlements are the target of our elected officials, but only the ones affecting us the citizens. It’s time Entitlements are stripped from corporations.

It’s time for corporations to pay their share. The time is now, close the corporate loop holes.

im just gonna throw this out there.

its about fucking time liberals are using the same tactics as the republicans to get what they want.

Life, liberty & pursuit of happiness are pretty meaningless if you can't get or can't afford healthcare. They are near-meaningless if the healthcare you can afford puts you in poverty, or you suffer medical bankruptcy from being underinsured when you get sick.

The GOP values corps., not citizens. We spend milionsy on 2 wars that are unbudgeted (when only 1 war was justified), but Republicans won't spend a dime for your health. If they shut down gov., they should lose their health care.

[torywg2010]

@randombuddha1 and that one war was barely "justified". the military and entitlement programs (social security, medicare, Medicaid) are the biggest contributors to our debt. Along with health care costs. If we kept the bill, and cut the military and asked americans to work 2 more years we would have a balanced budget. But the root of our problem is not policy but ideology. Americans, like it big. we want it all. and until conservatives and americans learn to be less selfish we will never be well

Bottom line; reform is needed. Bottom line; the current plan does not address everything and PROBABLY needs some change itself. Instead of looking at this from an aggregate and your bad/I'm not point of view, why can't Congress drill down into provisions, have open debate and make reform affordable, consistent and maximize potential effectiveness. Personally, I would like to see a single payer/public option made available to compete with private industry rates for coverage.

House Representative Gabrielle's recovery planners had a press conference today with six (6) specialist whom will be by her side 24/7 to assist with her recovery. What is the chance of the average American with or without health insurance having that security if they got shot in the head?

[baboy1qaz]

45,000 americans die every year because of lack of health insurance. Not having health insurance is a death panel a severe form of rationing. At least in Canada you get to wait in line.

[baboy1qaz]

Republican congressman Rokita said that healthcare is not a right. But it's OK if taxpayer pays for his healthcare insurance that cover his preexisting conditions.

[JBBlitz]

lies and propaganda i know what goverment healthcare was like in Canada, long waits in line, shortages, pain, death and death panels. it also cost tax payer more money than insurance. eventually holocaust healthcare will be repealed.

[ftfisher4x4]

@JBBlitz

Holocaust health care? You must be smoking the same crack as "blood libel" Palin. Enough with the rhetoric already. 

[iicei]

@JBBlitz Your full of CRAP. I lived in Canada for 30 years . Nobody in Canada loses their life savings, their home and declare bankruptcy because they get sick like here in the US. If you are sick...you get attention and much cheaper then the insurance companies raping Americans and making huge profits. I think you are an Insurance salesman trying to spread lies about the Canadian system. Why is it cheaper to mail order drugs from Canada than to go to a local pharmacy to get them here in the US

This vid could've been waaay more thorough. (R)'s disgust me, they're still whining about 2000 pages, it's been 2 damn years and they STILL haven't read it?? How is it that they're so against something they haven't even read? What do (R)'s think their job description is, sitting around doing nothing besides obstructing bills they can't explain? Maybe THAT'S what they mean by "less intervention".

[dfausti66]

This video is misleading in that the healthcare benefits given to Congress are being granted under the new law when in reality, the legislation that was signed into law picks and chooses those who are candidates for health care services while the benefits that Congress gets is not a pick and choose option.

This video picks similarities between the health care of members of Congress to demonstrate that it is all the same as a way to place fear in the hearts of the voter.

[bldude2]

@dfausti66 :P Politics, so it's your job to see through both sides and find cold hard facts. Personally, I support the party that has my and the people's best interests at heart. Recently, it seems it will be the democrats.

30-second YouTube video by AmericansUnited on January 14, 2011: "Good Enough for Them"

[Rngrbird]

If the health care "FOR LIFE", AND the "Retirement pay FOR LIFE" that Congress gets is good enough for them, - why isn't it good enough for EVERYONE? As a Veteran I have to fight to get my Disability Compensation. IF the DOD had followed the Public Law that required both pre and post deployment physicals had been followed - and an ALL Inclusive Discharge Physical had been done correctly - then the V.A. wouldn't have "ALL OF A SUDDEN" after 7 years since my discharge decided I needed TBI eval.

Remember, Congress is wealthy, you're not!

[UnionMac]

What? Republicans want to take away the public's new health care insurance benefits, yet they'll threaten to shut down the government, or some such, if anyone attempts to eliminate any of the health insurance coverage we provide them with?

Sheesh, who'd thunk??
