  • Personally I think Michael Jackson died because he couldn't stand having Obama for president. I wish everyone out there knew half of what us on this page do. Have you seen the riots at the G20 in Pittsburgh? Doesn't seem like the same kinda cops to me as the ones breaking up riots in the sixties.. no they've pumped it up a bit. Now America can be in fear of it's government too,,, it won't be by the people for the people because the 2nd amendment is next, and that is why it was wrote in the 1st p

  • Hillary will run at Obama in 2012.

  • Obama, he said, "a president who was voted into office on the promise of change said he wanted lower premiums. That changed. He said he wouldn't raise taxes. That changed. He said he wanted lower costs. That changed. He said he wouldn't cut Medicare benefits. That changed."

  • There are no american supporters for OBAMA. OBAMA has given the banks power to keep the majority of americans suppressed. If the Banks callapsed, all of our mortgages would have been erased. Obama enslaved america. OBAMA is a corporate promoter and a slave driver.

  • Thank you wise foreigner. Be assured that the sane outnumber the ignoRANTers who believe that humanity is only for citizens?! You are forgiven. Let's act like the Christ you say you follow. Jesus demonstrated care and protection for the least of these, the un-rich, the children and those in need. We reclaim the health care system corrupted by lawmakers bought by BIG Insurance who are now voting as told/sold. Govt for the people, by the people- not the corporation. The Time is now! Peace of mind.

  • I live in the UK where every citizens health care needs are provided for. If I or any loved ones get ill and needs to see a doctor or go to hospital, we don't worry about how we are going to pay for it, its already covered in our taxes (which are not that high!). Surely the very least we should expect from our elected government is protection and care for the most vulnerable of our society?Good luck Americans, I hope you all realise healthcare is not a business, it's a basic human right.

  • @afrankielives Good for you I bet you don't listen to those nutjobs like daniel hanan.

  • As long as we invsest in our baby killing millitary its ok fuck you the real fucking americans are ready to jump on any thing for free you fucking whores and when your gay ass company gets shut down fuck you just like yopu tried to fuck us greedy greedy pigs no more bail outs take tyour shit to china

  • you dont have a clue this bill will most definately destroy all private insurance because insurance companies will not be able to compete with govt plans that dont have to makle a profit or pay taxes and all employers will dump the company plans as it will be more cosdt effective and that is socialism,odumba has already taken over banks,car companies,financial institutions, I am against this idiot and his agenda and you should bve also,it is the end of America,fuck odumbass

  • if i knew of 8 doctors and 2 investors with an x-ray machine and a stock pile of doc stuff, preferably a little botanicals and silver and gold, maybe some ozone and a chiropractor for the nuts if they like, i would pay them every pay check insted.

  • Insurance companies have had record years--which is 4-5% profit. Most Wall Street companies have an 8% profit margin. Obama is trying to demonize anyone that opposes HIS plan.

    91% have health insurance. 85% of those are satisfied with their country.

    So, reform should fix issues, not remake the system (which is 1/6 of the economy). Keep the government out of healthcare.

    Note: Obama voted against healthcare reform when he was in the Senate. Hypocrite.

  • Prove it...links...articles...?

  • its not that I like insurance companies but I dont stand behind socialism and thats all this idiot is proposing,he doesnt care about you either what he does care about is control of your life and control over freedom, fuck odumba and his chicago thugs, he is going down faster than a roller coaster in the polls and in 2010 we will vote out his left wing cronies and right wingers that back him, so you keep on talking bs

  • If you had even an inkling of understanding of this bill, you would see it is not socialism. In socialism, the government controlls everything; President obama's plan KEEPS PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN BUSINESS. He's just creating another option for those people who have been denied coverage because of pre-existing ailments or for those who are unemployed and can't afford the egregious prices of private health-care. Try reading it and understanding it instead of listening to right-wing liars.

  • pg 30 govt commitee will determine all treatments,pg 29 healthcare will be rationed,pg 50 HC will be provided to all non citizens,pg 59 govt to have full access to your bank accts for transfer of payments,pg 95 acorn & americorp will signup all insured,pg 170 all non citizens will be exempt from paying ind. taxes,pg 251 all doctors will be paid the same no matter what field, you want me to go on,I am reading this bill and we need to stop it,now

  • someone asked if I could back up my facts, and I am in the process of reading this bill and it is bad and full of affirmative action and rights for illigal aliens,

  • Oh no, fucking illegal immigrants are going to not be left to die of sicknesses!?!? THIS IS MADNESS!! Everybody got this? Stop the bill!! else people in the country illegally won't be left to die!! This is just inhumane!! to the legal citizens I mean

    >.>

  • if this bill goes through kiss the elderly good bye,abortions will be on demand,15-20 million illigal aliens will have healthcare and everyone will be on gov.care,if you want to see what is in store go visit a VA hospital it will give you a glimpse of what obamacare is about. this bill is going to kill more jobs for doctors,nurses,insurance business and we can all wait in long lines like the DMV. nice huh, and research will be non existent. welcome to china and a third world nation,

  • ajack50 are you serious? Well for one thing you're talking a load of crap...but everyone can see that anyway so that doesn't matter.

    What does matter is that you seem so caring about the people in the insurance industry. I've worked in the insurance industry and those guys couldn't give a **** about you..so you caring about them seems a bit foolish to me.

  • As a US citizen living in Canada, (and a healthcare worker) I have NEVER seen a person denied care because of a lack of insurance, be-it a Canadian or anyone else. Unlike what i've seen in the USA

    The only people lobbying against President Obama's healthcare plan are the private insurance b/c they would loose the money.

    The idea for ALL Americans to have access to public healthcare is noble.

    The Canadian system isn't perfect, it is for EVERYONE.

  • I live in the US and have never seen a person denied care because of lack of insurance--because it is against the law. That's is why those without insurance go to the emergency room.

    Government services are not known for saving money, being efficient or for customer service (DMV, Post Office, Medicare, VA hosptials....). Why would you want government in healthcare--higher taxes is not a good reason.

  • I don't think they're trying to control healthcare I think they're trying to catch us up with the other countries who have universal healthcare.

  • I've been to some of the other countries--the US is way ahead. Our goal needs to be to reduce the costs associated with our current system.

  • Well i know they're not ahead as far as healthcare methods but I mean the way its handled is what they're trying to do. I hope that's what they're trying to do. I mean, its kinda a shame the way hospitals and health care have become a market rather than what its supposed to be: a place to heal the sick and help the wounded.

  • Instead it is a good idea to have companies who need to save money, have them give you care. If your too lazy to compare countries with and without government funded health care watch sicko. It is like a crash course on the subject. and I'd just like to point out, governments aren't efficient period. A dictatorship is the closest thing to a government that functions efficiently. The only way you folks have to save money, is to stop funding your military lol gl on that

  • If you are too lazy to do any real research, please reference a hack of a movie. Sicko is the grandest crock of leftist propaganda. If you are looking for truth, you never go to Mikey Moore.

  • Well apparently you can't post websites, so owell I had a number of articles a few studies etc.. but i guess this will have to do.

    Have you ever stopped to look at the arguments against universal health care? They are primarily based upon expenses and wait times, instead of the number of people who have not received proper medical attention, and suffered due to that. Or how many people who don't have health care and needed it, who couldn't be insured.. etc etc the people who don't get helped

  • You must include governmental control and influence as well. US studies have shown that of those that aren't covered, 12-14 M are not citizens (and wouldn't be covered under the public option anyway). Over 9 M make over $75K a year and can afford insurance if they want it. And 10 M are already covered by existing programs, but haven't filled out the paperwork (Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits...).

    The system isn't perfect, but we don't need to remake it (Obama-style). Just fix problem areas.

  • My personal opinion is that all systems need to be remade, none of them are nearly efficient enough for my likings. Especially currencies, I don't like the idea of currencies.. but all that can be done without something short of an apocalypse are relatively small changes such as the one here. Unfortunately for you, you don't want it and good for you for voicing your opinion but everybody should know by now, personal opinions are worth no more than a fraction of a penny figuratively speaking

  • Rethuglibans are "so sure" of their arguments, that they are BUSING THUGS around the Country to go DISRUPT Health Care DEBATES (Town Hall Meetings).

    How "democratic" of these "freedom" lovers!

    Repuglibans believe in the kind of Democracy that is VOID of The Freedom to Assemble and Debate Policies like Heath Care.

    To them; Democracy is the Governing of the People, for the Corporate Mafias by their Rethugliban G"No!"P Puppets.

  • What an intelligent, knowledgeable and eloquent President!

    Congrats to these USA!

  • Private Co Bureaucrats BETWEEN you and your doctor, denying care. Only purpose: deny as much care as possible to maximize profits for the private Co.s. Then they get HUGE bonuses and you or your relation dies because that critical procedure was NIXED!

  • Right now, Health Insurance Co.s (HIC) executives are STANDING between you and your doctor,

    denying you treatment, cherry picking only the healthiest people to insure and yet denying them care when they fall sick. HIC execs are telling your doctor which pill to prescribe.

  • we can vote the libs out and we won't have this problem

  • Blue Dog Max Baucus has received $2,797,381 from the health sector and $1,170,313 from the insurance sector. Ummm? Does that tell you anything? I am going to every Max video, and every health care reform video on YouTube and getting this out there! Please do write, email, fax, or call his office to make sure that he understands that we will expose him totally if he does not get on board here!

  • "We The People"

    Must stand up against Obamacare because

    our congress is afraid too. This program is a

    proven failure in other countries and will not

    help the economy. Its up to us to stand firm

    against a plan that will create unmeasurable

    hardship for Americans.

  • Actually , socialised medicine works really well in Sweden , France , Italy , and Canada . And please don't say "well if there healthcare is so good why do they come over here ?" The truth is they don't ,statistics show that Americans go overseas for healthcare at a much much larger rate than vice versa for healthcare . The WHO rates our healthcare at number 31 in the world . I have known of Americans who went to Cuba just to get treatments for cancer .

  • US citizens, most of you voted for him and for universal healthcare. Now don't betray your President and yourself, and have the courage to support this reform. It's in your interest. Public health care works better and costs less.

  • Why isn't the President and Congress showing leadership and signing on the plan they're forcing onto the country? Why did Congress exempt themselves, the President and the unions from it?

    People voted for a change in Washington, a change from secrecy towards accountability and transparency. What we got was the same magnified by 10X

  • Obama is an american hating dumbass

  • Its past due that America socialised its healthcare . We rank 31st in healthcare worldwide according to the WHO . Italy , France , and Sweden have much better quality of care and every citizen has access to it . They also pay less over all taxes !! The reason is simple , they don't waste all their money on the military budget . The real cost of Bush's 2 wars will end up being about 4 trillion dollars by the time we treat our many injured and disabled vets .

  • That's true. I live in Italy and everybody has access to health care. Even the Pope and the politicians use public health care, because it is better than private.

  • Lot at the things he is not telling you about. It will be one system. He will make it to where you will not be able to keep your own. BEfore you sign read it. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing. they will decide if an older or really sick family member should be kept a live. they will not waste treatment on someone that may not live long. they will be sending people to your home to weight and make sure you are following the program. Think before you do this. At least read it.

  • you fools

    you say obama's healthcare plan is bad but you offer no alternatives to fix the healthcare system. Look up the numbers you idiots if obama drops this whole healthcare thing the cost of healthcare will quintuple which will add trillions upon trillions to our debt. Doing nothing is not an option.

  • Everyone who's watching this PLEASE call everyone you possibly can who has a say in this bill and tell them if they vote for it you will make sure that they will never be elected again. If we overload them with emails and phone call they WILL back off. Also if Obama wants us to take this healthcare, then why isn't he going to use it himself? Is it because he knows that it is terrible, I think so.

  • Obama isn't reforming healthcare. He's just subsidizing it with taxpayer funds. He lies and says that it won't cost anything.

    Attack the real problem: inefficiencies and lawsuits, while promoting healthy lifestyles and preemptive care.

  • obama is so full of himself. everything he proposes is going to cost and sooner than later it is going to cost us our freedoms and our country. we must stop him 2010 is a big election year and the entire congress need to be cleaned out before it's too late. America will be nothing more than a third world country, if we still exist. he is radical and hates this nation . You want to know about free healthcare, check with canada or sweden...he claims it will only hurt the rich!!! go to hell obama

  • Free Universal Health Care for all!

  • Universal Health Care will not be free, it isn't free for any Country. However, the benefits will outweigh the costs... and I don't mean just direct financial costs... imagine all the bankruptcies, the anguish, the lost job mobility, the sadness we will save.

  • The true strength of a nation is its ability to look after it's unfortunate citizens. We are Humanity not Piranha Fishes... lets get the act togeather.

  • You make a point but understand this concept:

    Stealing is bad (we can all agree) If a person steels a car from someone that is bad, but according to all of these principles, its ok to steel from the rich to give to the poor. So, hypothetically lets say i agree. Now the person with no car cant get to work.

    It becomes a loop, and since u cant change people the amount of thieves grow and wealthy decline eventually everyone is left in the slumps; so much for being able to earn a better living.

  • True, but our civilization is held together by economic and emotional bonds between all Humans. Some Nation States have found a better balance than our USA.

    Despite what we see on our TV Dramas, stealing is mostly done by desperate people.

    Allowing a country to build a diaspora of desperate, scared and sick unwanted people is a Time Bomb.

    We treat our pets better than that.

  • Now thats leadership Mr. President!

  • I supported him. I voted for him. Now I wish I hadn't. Not after what his DOJ did to prisoner's rights; what he has failed to do for civil liberties; and what he is about to fail to do for heath care. He's not getting another dime from me.

  • Universal healthcare, I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

    No government plan!

  • Obama is just another puppet like bush .

  • Stop Playing Games Mr.President while 500 American Citizens who VOTED for YOU because they thought they MIGHT be Able to LIVE with your PROMISES to THEM for UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE !!! Not the FEW who can AFFORD it and CONGRESS we PAY for them and they LET ALL OF US DIE who VOTE for THEM !!! HR 676 NOW do not let us all DIE who voted you into office !

  • it time for no profit health care as an option, allow the single payer opting.

  • The truth is, the answer to our problems is NOT more government involvement in healthcare.

    The answer is LESS -- so the free market can inexpensively and efficiently distribute much-needed healthcare services to ALL American citizens.

    But, of course, thats not what those in power in Washington D.C. really want.

    After all, that would mean theyd have less POWER and less CONTROL over our lives -- and power and control are EXACTLY what this fight is all about.

  • and this "john" has to love sarah palin.:o) Freedom, is no more than a state of mind....that's about all American's have. Power and control? I haven't felt a difference, from Reagan to Clinton, to Bush. Nothing to fear but fear itself, and people like you are mighty fearful.

  • HR676 Now 20,000 people will die from not having any insurance and another MILLION who HAVE health Care it all TOPS OUT a Hidden cap >World Health Org. estimates this 500 Americans DIE everyday for Nothing but GREED ! Stop the Hidden Genocied NOW Enact HR676Now

  • President Obama, patients are charged thousands of dollars if given blood transfusions in hospitals. If the attending physicians would use alternative methods to donor blood, this would save patients thousands off their hospital bills. This is documented proof. Surgeons have performed thousands of complex surgical procedures successfully. I for one was down to 3.8 hemoglobin level. I was hospitalized. I refused donor blood due to risk of contracting AIDS, hepatitis, and etc... I was treated....

  • .... with ertropoetin shots, Iron transfusions, B12 shots and drips to restore my electrolytes. The attending physicians wanted me to go home faster. But I knew that recieving donor blood would compromise my faith. Some people don't take blood, because of Bible-based directives at Act 15:29; Levitus 3:7; Genesis 9:4. Nevertheless, having surgical procedures without the use of donor blood, will save millions of dollars in healthcare costs and as documented proof, a patient will be less likely...

  • ....to contract an infection, or disease from donated blood. I don't doubt that many people have recieved blood transfusions and have had no major complications. However, because of the critical times that we're living in, we have been recieving reports of an increase of donated blood being infected or diseased, even when units have been "screened" and deemed safe. The bottom line is this, less cost for the patient. More training & funds to use alternative methods to blood transfusions?

  • Stop trying to use scare tactics to keep the status quo. A public health insurance option is NOT Universal Health care. Health care in the US is inaccessible to 45 million people who can't afford insurance. What conservatives don't get is that consumers and taxpayers are already paying through the nose for the uninsured who come to emergency rooms, and through the state Medicaid programs. America needs the option of a lower cost PUBLIC health INSURANCE plan--NOW.

  • I was invited to this conference call and it was excellent. He is indeed keeping all of us involved and following through on issues from the past that have yet to be resolved.

    Anyone who does not approve of President Obama can sit and muddle with the "party of NO".

    He is absolutely a dedicated, grounded leader who cares~

  • Obama = largest deficit in human history.

  • inherited

  • We need help... Not, lies and debt.

  • Comment removed

  • Who is going to pay for socialized health care?

  • Do you mean who will pay for healthcare in a universal system, or who will pay for reform of the current system?

  • go look up "obama deception" on here and you will see that this guy is nothing but lies and false promises. hell with him and the federal reserve. its all garbage.

  • I support social reform. But, Healthcare is not a priority when we are trillions in debt. Balance the budget, then I will support healthcare reform.

  • The US has been in debt for many many years, the budget isn't getting balanced, nor is it a priority. Our health care system, on the other hand, is extremely corrupt. Poor coverage at high prices means lots of money in the hands of private insurance companies. Our healthcare is very advanced technologically, with a good and fair payment system, the US could have the best healthcare in the world...this is a high priority, and i for one am anxiously awaiting reform.

  • you and me both buddy..

  • Where do you think the money to pay for the debt and universal healthcare comes from? It comes from countries like China. They are buying our debt thereby raising the value of their currency and devaluing ours. What Obama is doing is the greatest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen. only it is not going to go from the rich US citizens to the poor US citizens. It will go from our rich country to other poor countries.

  • Now here's the irony. Once this goes through and the healthcare deficit rises, Congress will enact policies like the fat tax for overweight people, the soda tax for people who drink sugary cola's, higher cigarette and liquor taxes, carb emissions tax if you drive an old car that gets less than 35mpg, fast food tax for places like mcdonalds and KFC, etc etc. They will not need your approval to do so. All they need is to get their foot in the door. So, you will blindly pay for it anyway.

  • Respectfully, I don't think that debt management and involvement with China is relevant to healthcare. You inferred that we would get money to pay for healthcare from China. As citizens we would be the ones paying for healthcare, as we do now, only in a fairer system. As for the actual reform process, what do you presume would be expensive? I don't see healthcare reform as a largely pricey feat, rather in the long term, it would greatly save money for citizens.

  • It is now estimated universal healthcare will cost 1.6 Trillion over the next ten years to cover about 15 million uninsured people. This still leaves several million people without insurance. What is not accounted for is the public option. This is where many unions and US companies dump their employee coverage and expect them to join the public healthcare ranks. This will inflate the costs to upwards of 5 trillion, a burden that will undoubtedly lower the value of a dollar.

  • Also, you cannot separate helathcare from the rest of the economy, Everything we spend money on is linked together. So if you want this, you need to prepare yourselves to pay $5 for milk and over $5 per gallon for gas. Watch as inflation rises, unemployment rises and taxes rise for all.

    Not trying to scare you but the laws of economics always hold true. Now that we are part of a globalized economy and we are impacted by other nations, my estimates are very conservative.

  • Single Payer Healthcare! Fight For It Like You Would Fight For Your Childs Life! Because That Is Exactly What We Are Doing In Healthcare Reform. Please, Contact Your Local Representatives. GOD BLESS!

  • Avoid the disruptive comments of those who are benefiting from this current BROKEN system! Mark them as Spam and give thumbs DOWN to their comments!

  • are you fucking retarded, or just high?

  • maybe you should just make sure there are no fat people

    instead of just waiting until they become obese and then give them gastric bands.

  • Dude alex jones has you marked. You're a fool and need to be deprogrammedn

  • stop whining and bitching...y'all voted for obama..... u get what u deserved...deal with it

  • Don't fall for this puppett too, beloved America.

    Time is running out on you.

    You can't affort 100% wallstreet bankers in government.

    FREEDOM, SOVEREIGNTY & PEACE

    fed from the tree of liberty

  • wow another fucking looney conspiracy theorist. stfu

  • You obviously haven't read patriot act 1+2, Server America act, GIVE act, MIAC report 2009, H.R. 1444, nor the SPP documents, or the Northwood documents, nor anything else from the alternative independent media. which would make you realize, that 'Theorists' is a term used only by disinfo agents, or uninformed people.

    Have a good sleep, and don't let the bed bugs bite!

  • Forgot to mention: try REX 84 too, sleepeyhead.

    And maybe you even allow yourself to realize, who you REALLY voted for with this trator.

  • Most of us are very serious about this issue and do not appreciate the spamming by others. Civil discourse is what we need, no more grandstanding on old ideas, OK?

  • I will be surprised if Obama changes our health care system. So far we have seen little change from the previous administration in anything else.

  • idiots

  • I am disabled. Believe me I see so much waste.Repeating the same test, going to appointments and the doctor doesn't show, getting discharged from the hospital with 8 broken bones and blood on the brain in one week and asked to walk to the cars with broken legs! I got gangegreen in the hospital and they cut me open with NO Pain medication, did broken wrist surgery and forget to numb your arm. I could fill this entire page with 20 years of mistakes. IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE TO HEALTH CARE!! OBAMA

  • use the oregon health plan

  • OBAMA =

    One

    Big

    Ass

    Mistake

    America!!!

  • We have a bitter McCain supporter. Shouldn't you be reading Michael Steele's newsletter about why health care is bad?

  • U think we will have free health care like canada

  • Where's the birth certificate?

    Get one of your volunteers to help you present all of your personal records to America. We are calling on you to come forth and verify your eligibilty. Not answering is not acceptable anymore.

  • I want your birth certificate because I don't believe you're AMERICAN enough to be asking MY PRESIDENT that question more or less anyone else...

  • can i make a video stressing ajil laws and send to Barack Obama, can i go to jail for it?

  • You sell Israel down the Nile river in that joke of a speech at Cairo and now you want to talk about health care? What a joke. Sir, I want to be treated by doctors who know I'll walk out on them and take my money with me if they mess up, not by doctors on the government's payroll

  • Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

    Alexis de Tocqueville

  • Obama, you are a demagogue. Stop covering up the torture photos.

  • Lmao "Hey Bitch!"

  • Obama:

    "Hey bitch!"

    haha

  • WE LOVE YOU BARACK OBAMA MR. P.

  • I really wish people would give us Universal Healthcare instead of this whole bull about "affordable quality healthcare," with the reform of making it affordable quality will go down due to the greed of the HMO's...

    But nope, I bet someone is getting some money from lobbyists, keeping quite, etc etc, not enough citizens caring for change, when 41 million versus 1 million can make a difference...

  • universal health is the only way! remove the failed companys that work you as money... :D im glad another suports it

    SUPORT HR 676!!

  • too bad no politician from their campaign will listen to us right, and I'm only 17... how would I possibly get adults to listen to me. I'm glad to be a liberal :D

  • Borack, you are the man! Lets go to Carl's Jr!

  • why u ppl still goin on bout black and white ppl?

    its nothin to do with that

  • awesome!

  • listen to (very creepy "yes we can/thank you satan") video hear Obama say thank you satan.

    Leave health care alone.

    We don't want natl healthcare.

  • Speak for yourself shithead.

  • You just voided yourself from any credible political point of view when you brought superstition into the discussion.

    Perhaps you preferred our country when it was "bushwards," barackwards, but the rest of the world does not.

  • Health care should not be a privilege! And it is defiantly a need no matter what Andrew Card says.

  • Whether you like it or not. He is our new Commander In Cheif. Get over it! I love my President OBAMA!

  • Intelligent, kindhearted and full of integrity. Thankyou President Obama for trying to make the world a better place.

  • OBAMA! Please! I've supported you since the beginning, We need Health Care Insurance, how are we going to take care of our dental issues? What if we get hurt? PLEASE! I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out, and the lack of money will cause huge problems. Please think about us, I'm 16, turning 17, what if I was your child (;_:) wouldn't you want me to have affordable health care?

  • God Bless President Obama

  • May Zeus bless him.

  • According to Newsweek he IS God.

  • Reptilians? You conspiracy theorists are so stupid.

  • If nothing else, you have to respect someone who leave the comments-section open for the hecklers, complainers-waiting-to-happen,­ and hate-mongers IN ADDITION TO all the supporters of the man and the office.

  • 1st comment!

  • Thank you President Obama!!:D

    Thank you for trying so hard to help this country, and the world be a better place for us! I absolutely admire your hard work

  • amen!

  • Good morning Mr OBAMA I would like to say I Thank God FOR You for all the PEACE and LOVE that you are SHOWING the World I do believe that the HEALTH Crisis Can be resolved

  • Yes. I thank gawd for president Obama too.

  • Investigate 9/11, Barack. And stop covering up the torture photos.

  • after 4 years it would be kinda hard to investigate.

  • yes yes gotta love him

  • Obama, you rock!

  • Comment removed

  • I do want him to be our 2012 canidate, thanks.

  • Obama can you come lead Britain as well please? Our politicians are all apparently cheating liars who don't care about the future of our country.

  • Single Payer NOW.....Kill the "For Profit" side of Health Care and there coverage Deniers strangle hold .

  • the "for profit" side of health care leads to innovation. Its why the doctor doesn't just place a wooden dowel in your mouth to clench on when you have an operation.

  • Bull Pucky, were talking Health Insurance, what a company wont pay for and to whom after they charge you to manage your healthcare coverage or lack thereof.... innovate this, major medical research funding is provided by the Federal Government and Obama's budget request has cut it down below 30 Billion this year. Cram your For Profit Idea up you ASS !

  • Major medical research is not provided by the government. Its provided by for-profit companies. Companies who seek to profit from the innovation. The benefit to us is obvious. If you think the government does such an excellent job running things, read up on East Germany

  • your a DUMB SHIT ! "WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—Health research advocates joined together to call on Congress to expand the nation's investment in medical research by increasing the budget of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by $1.9 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009.... request of $29.2 billion for NIH in FY 2009 represents the sixth consecutive year that the... budget for the NIH has failed to keep pace with biomedical inflation. ..." , NIH is the Major arm of US Government Medical Research

  • I would suggest that language like that wont elevate the discussion. Government dollars are a drop in the bucket compared to the research done by drug and technology companies. All government has done is stolen our money to give to the people with the most political pull. The market on the other hand will seek out the greatest demand and provide cost effective solutions.

  • i <3 Obama

  • i love you

  • obama owns

  • I support President Obama. The free market did nothing to lower health care costs. A vitamin B shot now costs $500.

  • But is it a free market really? The government already has control over 1/3.

  • A free market is not a free market.

  • Up is down. Black is white. Liberty is slavery. Work is a song and happiness.  Try some reason.

  • It's funny you're telling me to try some reason.

  • Reason is great. Its the fresh minty taste of freedom. Try it.

    Faith in some leader or govt to fix all your problems is just nasty. Leads to gas and possibly oily discharge.

  • Firstly, you do not have a monopoly on "freedom", contrary to what your protest warrior bum-buddies might have you believe. They are as disillusioned as you.

    Secondly, your emphasis on individual "faith" is unreasonable. it points towards there being an "average" man, and in turn, that the average man is empowered to have "faith". Both of these premises are wrong.

    The third problem with your comment is that it is a flaw in logic. I didn't say that a leader or government can fix all problems.

  • First: No one has a monopoly on a born right

    Second: Faith in people bad. reason good.

    Thirdly fine replace all with some or any.

  • In addition, your classical philosophy went out of fashion in the 1700's. To show how resistent the USA is to change, such classical emphasis on "individual responsibility" (you know.. because people clearly choose to be homeless.. because it's so enjoyable etc.) causes the USA to have ridiculous law & order policies, welfare policies etc. It unfairly places the onus on the individual, which is rarely the reality.

  • Thirdly, you are unable to see that through the process of hegemony, Americans (by virtue of the way the fantasy of national belonging works) have drawn their "nation" along lines where an unrealistic principle of "freedom" is seen to be inextricably linked to the imagined nation.

    So, to be american is to be unquestionably "free" and to be not American is to be "not free",

    consequently, anything which is seen to be an attack on a reworded definition of "freedom" is seen as an attack on the USA.

  • Whats with the straw man argument? Look I said nothing of the superior nature of the US. I did not say it was completely free or that freedom was an american invention. It would be great if all the goverments of the world would grant all of us, what we are rightfully born with.

  • One thing is for certain, someone who pronounces that they have "freedom" is not someone who unquestionably has it. It is only when such "undeniable freedom" is seemingly threatened by day-to-day living and experiences that someone walks around pronouncing they have "freedom", as if to re-assure themselves that they do in fact have freedom.

  • It wasn't a strawman. You don't need to say that you draw some sort of fantasy of national belonging.. from the comments you make it is obvious.
