American People Oppose Health Care Bill, But Democrats Move Forward Anyway

[Anonymous19911225]

National health care works! when will ignorant americans stop fighting people who are trying to build a better world for them?

[robinhood2be]

US HEALTH CARE SYSTEM'S RANKED ON BOTTOM 7 OF INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES. GOOGLE IT. I LIVED MOST OF MY LIFE WITH NATIONAL HEALTH CARE IN AUSTRALIA & IT WORKS. HOW CAN YOU MAKE TOTAL PRIVATE SECTOR STOCK MARKET PROFIT FROM SOME1'S ILLNESS? EVEN UNDER A NATIONAL SYSTEM YOU CAN CHOOSE TO GET PRIVATE SECTOR LUXURIES. IT DOES NOT EFFECT EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE AT ALL AS THIS MAN FEAR MONGERS. MY AUTISTIC SON IS NOW FUNCTIONALLY WELL BECAUSE OF NATIONAL HEALTH CARE. STOP BULLSHITTING WITHOUT FACTS

[el3m3ntsk8s]

it's scary how stupid these tea party "patriots" are and yet they actually think they understand what the word socialism means. Health care reform bill is NOT socialism. For it to be socialism, the government would have to own the means of production, which it doesn't. Also, "free market" arguments don't apply to health care. I am actually in favor of free market competition, but it cannot exist with health care as well as police, fire cuz the consumer CANNOT shop around for them. turn off fox.

[littletiger2020]

That Gibbs is an idiot.

[falconfira]

Funny thing (funny? meh kinda stupid actually), there is a general liking about almost everything in the healthcare bill (lets face it either party 100% of a bill is not great) by the people who are protesting the healthcare. When they are told about what is in it, the answer is generally something to the effect of "well... whatever I still don't like it".

Thats right, it doesnt matter whats in the bill, were not going to like it cause a democrat proposed it.

[falconfira]

"America I thought, as perhaps Teddy Roosevelt did, that some basic protections backed by the legal authority of the United States government, if necessary, could enhance, all of our pursuit of liberty and happiness and life; and what I didn't know... is that to even entertain that thought, makes me... *dry heave* a progressive *dry heave* That's not good."

- John Stewart

Context: Progressive is being pointed out as a cancer on American society.

I guess I'm a cancerous tumor then. =(

[Mattmans123]

Shut the fuck up already, the bill already fucking passed and turn on a different channel other than fucking fox news!

[redcat200]

@Mattmans123 Hey dumbass dont you see that actually some of that was you shitty CNN and other people. But you who whose right? Fox because we are fair and give a valid debate. We bring democrats on all the time. We speak the truth, we don't hold back what goes against what we believe it , we just tell the people what is going on. Sadly your unsophisticated brain is unable to comprehend that.

[Wilone328]

Citizens messages must be shouted!!! Will you back Barak's Health care plan? Stop by my channel to discover precisely why Americans opinons are important !!

[kakip64]

Just who is working for whom these days? I thought the officials including the President were elected by the American people to work for us. Yet, He refers to us as whiney, idiots and does what he wants when we're against it. If I did that to my boss, I'd get fired. I can see it now, I go to my boss and say, " You tell me not to do something on my job? You're an idiot. I know what's best, not you. I'll do it anyway." Would I still have a job?

[terryooooooo]

The Dems are deaf and dumb.

The GOP is gonna whoop the snot out of them in November

[Naivedo]

Republican = Rich business owners that wanna steal from the poor and give to themselves, Soldiers who get major support from rich people because they die for them, or dumb redneck racist who are tricked by rich people.

Which are you?

[themunz126]

@Naivedo none of the above, nor am i an idiot who listens to the DNC alone. I looked at what was done. We the people got screwed.

[Truthinmidamerica]

You're the true racist. You only oted for Obama based on his race and are too dumb to see that he is driing the country into a debt hole to big to climb out off. Now that you know that you're the true racist and a corperate sheep, what are you going to do?

[Naivedo]

I didn't vote for Obama, way to pull crap out of your butt. The debt hole was already there when Bush created it and left. A corporate sheep? That's reversed for right wing people that want to lower taxes on the rich. Yea, did you know that poor people give 10% of their pay check to the government and rich people give less then 5%? It's sooooo fair. Sheep is people like you guys that don't think and research what you are voting for.

Politic parties are for people that can't think for themselves

[Truthinmidamerica]

@Naivedo Funny, that you lack true facts again. You're a uneducated sheep who is programmed by his master who hate the rich. It's sad that freeloaders and welfare bums like you eny the rich so bad that you gladly put the country down the drain to get your handout.

[dpchrist26]

@Naivedo look at the 16th Amendment for example. IRS is not Amended or Ratified, lawful. Under the law the government was to tax the Company's, not the people also! And only 50% of the population is paying taxes. The rich is getting over and I'm sick of that, All of this is to put money in our servants pockets that work for us and we struggle to get from paycheck to paycheck. oh but they just passed a bill for 1600 more IRS agents to collect more money from us! It was in the Health care bill.

[dpchrist26]

@Naivedo The LEFT Are the Racist! They are the ones calling the names stirring up trouble under OBAMAS Guidance. His specialty calling names and doing noting killing our great nation. The RIGHT is a problem too! That is why we have a ying/yang thing going on. The left screws up vote for the right the right screws up vote for the left Party's are a problem and are only concerned with special interests not the people! its always been that way! It just got out of control worse than ever!

[swinginglowIam]

Hey Gibbs,

Hard to "rationalize" the destruction of the constitution isn't it? uh, err, ummmm

[themunz126]

@swinginglowIam Gibbs isnt trying to rationalize it, he is just trying to deny the reality that everyone sees. It is hard to lie day after day when it is so blatantly BS he is shoveling.

[dpchrist26]

Socialist Pigs!!

[Naivedo]

@dpchrist26 Go to college and learn what socialist means and maybe you will want to be one too unless you like taking from the poor and giving to the rich which is something a Satanist would do. Funny? Jesus lovers are against helping the poor. It's so so sad.

[choirgirl460]

No, they are against taking from someone who does not want to give. That is called stealing, read your bible a little more closely.

[themunz126]

@Naivedo college? where you talk about all that is wrong as your socialist proff's embed all kinds of stuff that doesn't work in the real world? Ever hear of a socialist society where the people are better off then in our democratic republic at it's hight? No, you haven't because they aren't. They are all poorer. We had the highest standard of living here, because of capitalism. You don''t even know what a have not is until you live in a socialist society. Book smart, common sense stupid.

[dpchrist26]

@Naivedo AH another socialist pig! For you did not understand nor ever read the Constitution nor understand the concepts of our founding...You have the internet right? Lockup John Adams Quotes or Thomas Jefferson, any of the founding fathers will answer your Idiot questions real Quick like!

Feed a man a fish and he will beg for more!

Teach a man to fish and he can support his family and community!

We are the most charitable nation in the world we give our money away like its going out of style.

[dpchrist26]

@Naivedo The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

[dpchrist26]

@Naivedo It [education] is favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.

—Dr. Benjamin Rush (Essay, 1786)

..but left on to deaf ears from "the warnings" & the cycle of corruption will continue years down the road I assure you.

[tmilowski]

ALL American People I know support this...

[tejaspics]

sorry, I don't believe it.

[armyveteran101st]

What country are you GOP senators living in? A majority of Americans support health care reform, and for you people to assert o0therwise is dishonest and deceiving. The only ones who don't want reform are the insurance industry, whose pockets every single last one of you reside in. Every single last one of you ought to be deported or tried for treason against the American people. Benedict Arnold had nothing on all of you.

[FamilyPants]

@armyveteran101st

The insurance companies did not complain. Wall Street closed on a high after the bills signing. They added millions of customers with the mandate.

This bill does nothing to address rising costs.

Treating the uninsured leads to higher premiums for the insured to cover the loss or to denying / reducing coverage.

The evil insurance co. is a ruse as is how great Canadian health care is. The uninsured are so from lack of jobs. Jobs beget insurance not the other way around.

[LibsMakeGr8Sandbags]

Learned a new trick today.

As companies report their projected loses because of Obamao and need to let people go, don't waste time trying to decide who those people will be.

Go out into your parking lot, and fire every person with an Obama/Democrat sticker on their car.

Works like a charm.

[uniquemetal]

American people oppose healthcare ( YES) some do.

American people also support the healthcare ( YES) as we all know some do.

The American people voted President Obama with a majority. The American people knew he wanted healthcare reform passed.

It is done. The Republicans lost.

Get over it Republicans.

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

wickard v. filburn.

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

its all about: wickard v. filburn.

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

wickard v. filburn.

[dumbdems]

Don't worry folks. The Democrats are gonna hang come November and then during Obama's election. Then this STUPID unconstitutional bill will get killed. Democrats are to be kept down in the gutter where they belong. They are going to get crushed in November and I can't wait for el Prezidente's election. Amazing he has to go push for this bill after it gets passed. He is such a joke and the party as well. Going down Dems!!

[Naivedo]

By "American People" they mean the few right wing crazy nuts because anyone that is not on their side, aren't American. Sorry to tell you, we want this. We want to help the poor at the cost of the rich. Cry more rich business men, sorry you can't get that 5th car.. it has to go to helping the poor.

Oh and 13 states out of 50 is nothing.

47% worse off, sorry, that is less then 50%. How is that "The American People" sorry, 47% is not.

[choirgirl460]

Socialist!

[Naivedo]

Anti-Christ, way to steal from the poor and give to the rich.

[choirgirl460]

No, his plan is more like steal from the rich to give to the poor. Oh yea, and steal from the middle class too.

[mo1elftausend]

It really feels like people sell out their vote.

[midasman68]

welcome to the united socialist states of america. keep up the bang up job barry

[nvsyru]

It's not just a whole bunch of Americans against this bill, but companies, and state governments as well. When's the last time you heard of states filing suit against a Bill like this over it's Constitutional Infringements. It may come to light that those who voted in favor of this Bill violated there oath of office to uphold the constitution. Isn't there are consequences for that?

[jfkjrlover]

Yes!! FINALLY poor people like myself can see a doctor without going into debt or waiting til my ailment gets so bad that I have to go to the emergency office! I can finally see a doctor for yearly checkups! Thank you President Obama!

[Toddinfantry]

OK How are you going to pay for it now?

How much do you think you will have to pay?

I feel for you, but I think that this will not meet your needs.

[Superflly2001]

Remember Obama campained on Health Reform. it was no secret he was going to do this. And the American ppl voted him in. So the polls showing against Health Reform are subject to debate. it more like 50/50.

[DinosaurJesus]

Obama got in because of anti-Republican sentiment, NOT because of his platform. And he wouldn't have made it if not for independent voters. Also, few knew how radical he was thanks to the mainstream video. I mean, the guy pals around with an America-hating preacher (for 20 years!) and an unrepentant terrorist. And his platform is EXTREMELY far left. He only got in because people hated Bush. Just over a year later, Obama's making them wish that Bush was still President.

[choirgirl460]

Yea, where is Bush when you need him..lol. Bush is far better than this socialist nutcase.

[ruanda]

who is "the bunch of crybabies" now mr. wallace?

[mfsowhat]

i miss bush

[mfsowhat]

I miss bush

[BoomerNavy70]

Will someone explain something to me.

Where the hell are they getting this "American people oppose healthcare bill."

In reality the Republican Lunatic Fringe are but a few people gathering in protest.

I saw a couple of the whack jobs the other day with protest signs and it was really comedic.

Now they prove their hillbillie mentalities by threatening Congressmen and Senators over the phone and can not even use proper english grammar.

They really belong locked up and off the street

[captquest1]

Go against the people in America and you will lose every time!!

[jfkjrlover]

The Dems are doing what people like myself want them to do, so there! You just have to deal with the fact that you won't be getting your way!

[captquest1]

@jfkjrlover

you forgot to go ...na na na na na na

[jfkjrlover]

@captquest1 Deal with it, loser! You and the rest of your redneck brethren will just have to suck it up and stop whining that us socialist libs are having our will heard and honored. I REALLY don't care how ignorant, religious, usually fat, white and HIDEOUSLY UGLY rednecks feel or what their vision of an ideal America is.

[captquest1]

@jfkjrlover

you represent your cause perfectly

[Toddinfantry]

Why are you poor?

Do you work?

Do you pay taxes?

Do you have an illness that keeps you from doing the above?

Interested in what you think is going to happen for you with this.

[JimJimowill]

Apparently the American people don't oppose it, The GOP have goverment health care, why don't they give it up and pay the insurance industry as most Americans do. Give me a break, be honst for once...GOP

[mayoressurected]

Uhhh, Obama RAN on health care as a candidate... And WON. This means the majority of America VOTED for health care, and now we got it.

Keep going Obama!

[DinosaurJesus]

The majority of people want health care reform. But they want legislation focused on lowering costs, which is what they thought they were going to get. Instesd, they got Obamacare: a $940 billion government takeover based on the Massachusetts model that sent premiums soaring.

OBAMA + EPIC FAIL

[8902654]

Well Kid when you move out of Mom's basement for a few year's you will understand.

[BlueSkies360]

@mayoressurected Well we did not know that his solution will be to steal from one person and give it to another

[OBAMASTINIAN]

@mayoressurected Ya you got it.

[Lateralus424]

But that isn't the entire point. The worst of this (at least to me) is the fact that Obama failed to inform the public on the status and regulations of the Bill.

[mrjonnewman]

Children with pre-existing conditions like Sarah Palin son?

Should they go without healthcare?

If you vote Republican that is what will happen. People like Palin care more about their political careers than they their own children.

[quizerry]

They will get medicaid in 2014

[vegetadingle]

Yeah i remember and miss him

[Brezable]

@vegetadingle

"Trinity college of the bible and seminary"

Speaks for itself.

Retard material.

[vegetadingle]

@Brezable its funny the only comeback you have is name calling and insulting its sad

[gracegibbs]

I just can't get over this fact: $569 Billion dollars in NEW TAXES. Most of us can barely make it right now... wait until the new taxes kick in!

[quizerry]

No new taxes on middle class right? Well the new taxes are not just on the rich. New Taxes on pharma, medical devices etc..., which consumers will pay for in higher prices. The new taxes on interest and capitol gains, stocks ect... will hurt investments like our 401k and retirement accounts,charities, scholarship funds etc....as well as slow down growth in business.. This bill is a disaster to our economy.

[DinosaurJesus]

If your state isn't participating in the lawsuit to block this legislation, please implore your Governors & Attorney General to enter the fight! This is a matter of individual rights, a violation of the Constitution by the federal government, and placing unfair burdens on states that are already struggling mightily in this recession. Every poll clearly indicates that Americans oppose this. If there is any justice, this horrible bill will be defeated.

[imcrazyforwar]

so glad the florida general attorney (my state) decided to steps into it

[SweetlouID]

Actually 49% of the American Public support the bill as opposed to 40% who dont.. Losers.. Would you like some cheese with your WHINE??? Whaaa-waaa!! Crybabies...

[Tommygunns90]

@SweetlouID please... explain to me why this bill passing is a good thing

[SweetlouID]

It passed! You lost!! And maybe if you laid off the Faux News fountain of Stupid you would see it through normal not Kooky vision

[pilotmaster92]

hate to break it to you but the majority of those news broadcasts were from CNN and thats a pretty liberal channel

[qualityrkc]

no its not

[choirgirl460]

This bill is completely unconstitutional. How can Americans be forced to buy from a private company? Fight to repeal this bill!

[frostysmores]

@choirgirl460 How does state laws force Americans drivers to buy auto insurance from private companies?

[choirgirl460]

The states don't force us. If you don't want to pay car insurance, don't drive on public roads. And states have the authority that the federal is not granted in the constitution.

[choirgirl460]

How do states force us to buy car insurance? They don't, if you don't want to buy car insurance than don't drive on public roads. And the states have powers the federal does not have granted by the constitution.

[TucanSam72]

The most corrupt federal government in our lifetime.

[DesmondMead]

To any out there who love Liberty and want to do something to preserve it: support the Heritage Foundation; put them in your will. Look 'em up.

[rschneblin]

So much for a representative government.

[FairTaxfan2009]

Robert Gibbs is such an idiot.

[snarky10000]

No worries on President Obama's approval numbers. He's up 5% since Sunday.

[imcrazyforwar]

says he cause last time i checked it went down another three the day it passed

[skywarp1]

Was it me, or did I see Robert Gibbs started to cry? Then all I got to say is HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

[erichalebrown1]

This is probably one of the worst acts ever committed by our government. Americans, your voice needs to be heard. For too many years liberals have been loud and annoying. Its time to shut them up by standing up for our values and proclaiming our voice, THE AMERICAN VOICE, over their voice.

[Caleb6543]

This is serious stuff Obama and you Democrats. Get ready to lose seats.

[RRaptor86]

amen brother!
