I Thought That Was An April Fools Cover For Time Magazine! Senator Bernie Sanders

[Relugus]

Apparently, its okay for the government to handout welfare to the likes of Halliburton, Lockheed (a failed aerospace company which only functions due to taxpayer money), Goldman Sachs, MacDonalds etc.

But anything to help the ordinary American taxpayer is "socialism". Most US tax-dollars go into private corporations, much like a fascist state.

[azveryusha]

Not sure why you think it's okay for the government to give handouts to anyone. Don't think you'd find many people who are okay with handouts to haliburton, the military industrial complex, the banksters, or anyone else.

And you hit it right on the head, the US is a fascist state, but worse than the traditional sense where the state worked for the betterment of the country, now the state works only to make a few rich and powerful

kill the bill, I supported the weak crap, now its total shit, you pass this everyone must get private care, and health insurance companies can charge any amount they want. I know the why. but how fucking hard is it to say you pay premiums and get medicare coverage at any age, I only ask how much it would cost me, no taxes no mandates. just straight off my pay check if I want it "option" even make it for profit and use it to expand medicare coverage. hey gov epic fail you suck dick me=pissed lib

What Senator Sanders doesn't understand is that politics is a dirty game. If the tables were turned, the democrats would've done the same thing. Besides, Sanders is an admitted Socialist...why would we want any amendment of his coming forward? I was frankly hoping the old bastard was going to have a heart attack during his temper tantrum on the senate floor today.

The Democrats need to work on a bill that is good for all...I don't blame the Republicans for using the tactics that they use.

85-90% of Americans are covered...

[PersianPaladin]

Government is a beuracratic monster.

[nogl0001]

if these health insurance are charging so much, MAKE THEM SELL ACROSS STATE LINES! break up the government created monopoly.

[waltermh111]

so basically your against states rights.

You must be an anarchist then, and dont belong in the US.

Go find a tribe that still supports that style of living.

In america we have states rights and most of us like it that way.

Each states citizens get to determine what insurance companies are allowed to get away with, just like some states have their own pollution standards amongst other things.

So screw your cross state idea.

[nogl0001]

I am a firm believer in states rights but the constitution deals with this.

Commerce Clause states: "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes"

Regulate here means to keep regular. States shouldn't be allowed to put up trade walls between them. What other industry has trade walls between states? Health Care Industry has a monopoly where they prevent competition.

[nogl0001]

Enforcing the true meaning of the commerce clause would break this government granted monopoly.

Why am I denied the right to buy health insurance from whatever state I want?

[beornborg1]

The rationale is that the state with the lowest regulations would be chosen as the one for all the policies. Also, for legal reasons, it would be harder to dispute problems with an out of state insurer.  And cheap policies, which dont cover stuff, could cost the state when people NEED treatment (i.e. emergency rooms). This is like letting the credit card companies go to a state with ZERO consumer protection and .. oh wait they do that now (Delaware).

[lcoscare]

Maybe you shouldn't pass 700 page amendments!!! Since they have the option to have the amendment read aloud, maybe you should make something that is actually worth reading.

[goldensextant]

lcoscare I hope a donkey rapes your mouth

[GeraldBull9693]

Most people fail to connect the dots. It is so blatantly obvious that the same people who control the money also control the government and the media as well (among many other things).

[bigc028282]

Obuma just told ABC "news" " if the health care bill wasn't passed, the government would go bankrupt", maybe he and supobuma can save it all. We need a hope and change hero.... oh yeah.

[imaginepeace63]

Bernie is the best senator

[TheLitabit]

Bernanke never has an answer to anything pertaining to his job!!!! Where's the money...duh I don't know?? is his usual answer. Wow a man in charge of OUR tax money. WTF is going on???

[TheLitabit]

Finally, US Senators fighting for what's right!!! Go Bernie Sanders!!!!

[bigc028282]

@TheLitabit What the hell have you been smoking?

"senators"? LOBBYIST written bills filled with pork from both parties.

Where the f*ck is my HOPE and CHANGE "single payer" MF's?!!

[superfuzz]
