"More choice and competition"

[Ladiesman1447]

He's so intelligent, you can tell just by listening to the way he speaks, the way he carries himself, he's a true president.

[evans940]

the prez is trying too help all people' everyone !

[D1E5ECT]

YEah go obama yer smart and shit and you read all these 2400 pages right? THEre are not two sides you snake. Fuck food inspection, the drugs do kill us , what the hell is he talkin bout.? People who talk with their hands are pushy with their ideas because they are slick snake oil salesmen .

you are so smart, President Obama, it makes me mad.

[Mplay1983]

Obama is too fucking smart, it pisses me off.

Many Doctors are now refusing

Medicare to Seniors!

We must assure good care for our parents.

[10cavsfan]

dkkght46 you are bragging that you achieve more than others..you may not see it this way but thats a sin. You feel good about yourself telling youtube that you achieved a little more than the person you are arguing with. This is the way i see it; lets stop arguing over politics b/c its just something to talk about and creates uncomfortable tensions, and just pray that the government(obama) will do good and that one day everyone can have jobs/good healthcare. Also no more war between countries.

[10cavsfan]

paradise20349, if i make a sallary of $50,000 in a couple years when obama and senate passes all these laws you say will happen, i will only make $25,000 You fucking jackhole dont no what your talking about, and is like the most nonsense ive ever heard, thats not true so before you open your mouth read the facts first.

[millerinfinity]

@10cavsfan You don't speak English very good. If you think about it like this the left wingers are the British and the Right Wingers are the Confederates but you would have to read a book to understand. Also what paradise is saying is that he is going to take away your freedom to choose. With the new law if you do not have insurance you will be fined. Do you understand that this takes away your right to make decisions for yourself and lets the government tell you what to do. Read a book. Dumbass

[paradise20349]

@ PirateKing86

You're in college to get a job with more money, correct? If this man passes the things he's planning to sneak through the senate, he's going to take away about half your income, provided you actually end up finding a job that would pay you enough after he destroys the nation. Hint, when people say "I'm not lying, I'm not making this up..." they ARE lying and they ARE making stuff up.

Be educated. Your education is going to be the ONLY THING YOU'LL HAVE LEFT.

[TroopsPostTrauma]

@paradise20349 , Your reasoning is oversimplified.

[ConservativeRuleinUS]

Obama, go away, you loser!%%

[dkkght46]

Because its not about healthcare its all about power and control. Vladimir Lenin said, "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of Socialism." It's clear that Obama and Lenin share a philosophy.

The Democratic founding of socialized America will be the quote:"Take my Liberty, give me free health care.'

Worst of all is it will will be far from free!

[CapZap17]

Really? That's your evidence? A questionable Lenin quote? That would just be right wing wishful thinking. I know it's easier to dismiss if you demonize - but you need greater clarity. If you actually believe Obama is a communist you need to study political theory.

I think you're just playing the provocateur - you seem too bright to buy into that silly line of "reasoning".

[TheJimmyPopcorn]

Obama, you are a disgrace to our nation!!@@

[dkkght46]

In the Senate legislation, the cost of the coverage expansion is $871 billion between 2010 and 2019. Other spending in the bill totals about $90 billion over 10 years. With about $200 billion more for a permanent repeal of the Medicare physician fee cut, the Senate plan's total cost approaches $1.2 trillion.

[PirateKing86]

I find it ironic that I'm watching this video today while sick and unable to go to a doctor because I don't have insurance.

[dkkght46]

Pay out of your own pocket and go to a care first facility. If you got cash a doctor will see you just do not sit there and blame it on insurance.

[PirateKing86]

@dkkght46 I'm in college. I don't have money.

[dkkght46]

Well if healthcare gets passed you will be required to have it regardless if you are in college and do not have money. Either you pay the premium, get fined or go to jail you have a chioce. Under ObamaCare you will be required to purchase a healthcare policy. You can thank Pelosi for that.

[dkkght46]

The House and Senate health care bills disproportionately burden younger, healthier Americans with higher insurance premiums. To ensure that young people buy health insurance anyway, Congress has decided to nudge you into purchasing insurance by enforcing a penalty for those who fail to buy coverage. Those under age 35 will opt out of buying insurance altogether, choosing to pay the penalty instead to the IRS. This means less disposable income = buy and save less--a lose-lose situation.

[PirateKing86]

@dkkght46 I assume you're a republican because everything you said sounds like bull shit.

[dkkght46]

I am independent. But do not take what I say as the truth just read the news to decide and here is todays headlines.

Obama policies projected to add $9.7 trillion to debt by 2020...

Estimates show grim picture...

Positive Jobs Report Doesn't Ease Worries of a 'Double Dip'...

REID: GOOD NEWS, ONLY 36000 LOST THEIR JOBS TODAY...

Obama calls 'entrepreneurship summit' with Muslims...

Rash of Scandals Tests Dems at Sensitive Time...

But thats ok let them control your healthcare.

[dkkght46]

If the truth sounds like BS to you then you are too smart to go to college, hell you know everything already so just put your ass in the jobs marketplace and get a job that gives you healthcare. You do not even know what a bullshitter is but if you want to learn how to ID someone full of BS just watch this Prez because he is the best. He does not know shit from shinola.

[dkkght46]

Worst thing is once you get the sheepskin you will join 1 million fellow grads in the rolls of the unemployed. You will not start out with a 100K job and no 400K house and BMW. And if allowed to continue those goodies will take longer to obtain then it would have say 4 or 8 years ago.

[PirateKing86]

@dkkght46 Don't act like you know me. I'm not the kind of person that has such shallow goals in life like yourself. I've also read enough on my own to feel that I can make an informed decision Without needing to hear your ludicrous dribble.

By the way, where did you get those headlines, the fox news web site?

[dkkght46]

BOY....I have a college education twice over so since you are Mr. Know-nothing GOOGLE them yourself! After you wipe the snot dripping from your nose assclown. Shallow goals, I have achieved more than you could ever imagine, hahaha.

[dkkght46]

Starting in 2016, Social Security will not collect enough in taxes to pay all of the promised benefits-- which is a problem for all workers, but especially for the roughly half of the American workforce that has no other retirement program.

Better concentrate on the social security reform act than healthcare....

[dkkght46]

the president's plan is essentially the Senate-passed bill with a few minor tweaks to appease House Democrats. Right now the only bipartisan agreement that exists on health care is opposition to the current plan. Someone should tell the president you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

[Mplay1983]

dkkght46 - you copy and paste that talking point from a FOXNEWS site? I knew you couldn't think for yourself. lol

[dkkght46]

Wrong assclown!

[kgonepostl]

Finally, the president grows a pair. Now let's get this shit done!

[Bladen12345]

Real talk right there.

Obama doesn't rely on theorectical models and all that stuff. He gets straight to the point and deals with the core problem.

One might call it common sense. :P

[kg062007]

ha ha barack shut that cracker down!!!! small dick white man

[SuperboyXX0018]

Barack Obama is the last and worst evil tyrant this world will ever see.....the death!

Martial law will be declared in 2010, holocaust will proceed......a desolation!

[legendofakira]

if it is good enough for the top members of government, it should be done for all americans.  these people work for and represent us. and so far ALL of them have failed to make a fair health care system for all. including our president. everyone should have the same coverage and pay the same amount no matter what your annual salary is. it should be a payment that is middle ground for all incomes and should be based on that income. anything else is bureaucracy and bullshit.

[sivartis]

My goodness, it is so wonderful to have a President who can actually verbalize his very detailed and logical thoughts.

I wish more Americans were able to parse the debate for themselves and not just have the opinions that other people tell them to have. We'd all be so much better off.

~Trav

[dkkght46]

Here is the one question you must stop and ask yourself. Do you trust Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid enough to provide for you in this healthcare legistlation with what you need or want? Image Obama or the republicans do not exist would you trust Harry & Nancy to do what is best for you?

[nwfilmschool]

Whether you agree or not, listen to the content of the President's speech and you will find that it is intelligent and make sense. Then apply the same standard to the attacks against reform, or even the Republican talking points. The two viewpoints do not represent contrasting positions. One is rational, the other is pure hysteria. It is a small but extremely vocal minority that flood message boards like these with lunatic blathering and half-baked reasoning. Ignore it and press forward!

[funnydogsful]

@nwfilmschool That's why he's president

[dkkght46]

You watch the states get the bulk of the healthcare responsibility. With the states in the red already, how are they going to pay for their fair share? If this government takeover passes, I suspect food will be the new enemy of the people. Already, the politicians are talking about obesity, setting up for the next round of government takeovers. It wont end until they are out of office and rational people are voted in; if there is such a thing as a rational politician.

[DavidJasonSoto]

Bush is gone, you'll should be glad to have a president with a good head on his shoulders. If you don't like Obama then with all your respect, suck my fucking dick!

[dkkght46]

Bho could not resist saying numerous snarky comments or reminding everyone that he won. Maybe if he could actually govern instead of bullying those who disagree with him, he might actually look like a President. The true measure of a persons character is determined by how he treats those with whom he dislikes, disagrees or feels are beneath him. The summit was nothing more than a temper tantrum.

[roddyster]

Are we watching the same video? Seems like what he is trying to do is govern. He isn't bullying or mistreating anyone or having a temper tantrum. He's also much more presidential-looking than W ever was. Unfortunately what might be subconsciously rubbing some of the Obama haters the wrong way is that he's a black man who is smarter and more educated that they are. Self made too, no silver spoon.

[dkkght46]

He is not a black man his mommy was ivory snow and what does race have anything to do with it? Are you a race baiter? He could fucking be green or purple as a Marxist can be any color as it is an ideaology. Oh he may be presidental looking but one thing W had that Nobama will never have and that is BALLS. If he is so smart then during the SOTU he stated he was going to focus on the economy like a lazer right? I guess he forgot to turn the lazer on.

[roddyster]

If I'm not mistaken his father was black and he certainly looks like a black man. He is no more Marxist than 4-term FDR. Maybe FDR's voters were on to something. If by "Balls" you mean obstinate without being reflective or pensive than, you're right, Obama will probably never have them.

[dkkght46]

Nobama could not lead a cronic case of the shits to an outhouse. We will take care of you socialist/progressives/Marxist soon enough as of next November. After the voter bloodbath that is coming all you loons will never recover. Balls he will never have when you bow to every dictator around the world.

[roddyster]

As if he is the only president to bow to other leaders. News Flash...They all have.

I'm just glad you've come unarmed... this time.

[sivartis]

@dkkght46

You realize you come off as ignorant and uninformed when you say stuff like that, right?

[testtubecub]

Update for you dkkght46 since you seem a bit challenged. Obama is a black man, he was raised as a black man and society has always looked at him as a black man and he is our first black president. Secondly, those BALLS that you are so obsessed with help deliver us one of the worst decades in U.S. history. Another point, if you actually read the news then you are aware that the new jobs bill just passed in the Senate, unlike some cretins, Obama is able to multi-task. Not defending just facts.

[Mplay1983]

roddyster - true that!!!

[DavidJasonSoto]

@dkkght46 What the fuck ever, this man is great for his position maybe is it the color of his skin that you don't like or that your mother must of breast fed you entirely too much.

[luisofsuburbia]

Temper tantrum? Maybe from the Republicans side but the President sounded that he knew what he was talking about unlike the Republicans who only distort facts and create an environment of paranoia and mass confusion. But of course what would you expect from people who get their facts from a corporate sponsored news media.

[dkkght46]

The American people, an annoyed Obama asserted, are not all that interested in procedures inside the Senate. Oh, really? A new USAToday/Gallup poll reports that 52 percent of Americans oppose using the procedural maneuver to pass the health care bill in the Senate on 51 votes rather than the 60 votes required to end any filibuster.

[0nman]

One Question<<<,with cheaper and massive scale of health care with lesser number of providers (which is a fact)..comes poorer quality of care to meet the number....are americans open to not have 5 MRI's just because THEY are not convinced of a diagnosis...or WANT more testing done ??? Its os americans spoiled habits as well that has caused high health care , and now we are paying for that as well, what goes around ,comes around...so both party, GOVT and PEOPLE need to chouck it!!!!

[taybo20]

Yes! More government control please. More government debt please. More government agencies going bankrupt please. /end sarcasm....Who cares if there is a public option when there will be less health care providers because the gov't won't/can't pay them...

[Mplay1983]

Eric Cantor = Fool. Thanks for setting him straight, Mr. President. He clearly didn't make a point just made a show by displaying the bill as if any real BILL wouldn't be large. It's a Healthcare overhaul, you idiot!!! Not a fuckin' Dr. Seuss book!!! Oh my goodness... still with a mandate, we need a public option.

[dkkght46]

Slapstick Government

"Obama scolds Rep. Cantor at summit for paper prop". His infraction? Brought a copy of the 2,400 pages of healthscare reform...and that's called a stunt? We are soooo screwed....

[sheff112]

Post office has a monopoly on mail, but if you want better fast go with Fed Ex and UPS. Same thing with health care. Make everyone pay, but if someone wants something better let them pay more on top of what everyone pays and get it.

[2025jackson]

There is no choice with an individual mandate and no competition without a public option.

[justsayno2mudrace]

We the REAL Americans do not want socialism. You power hungry overpaid slippery fools need to get gone. Semper fi

[Daddy336]

@justsayno2mudrace agreed fellow american

[jasonbarba]

While disagreements remain, the meeting uncovered considerable areas of overlap, including many Republican ideas that were already in the President's proposal. And with all the best ideas now on the table, the President made it clear that no excuses remain: Congress must put aside partisan divides and swiftly complete a final bill.

[diah4]

It was an okay exchange, but if everybody walked out of there unwilling to compromise, what was the point. In all honesty, those republcians didnt care about dems complaining about reconciliation, so why do the dems care?

[jwwetzel]

@1sanchezmikea - Walmart could be considered a socialist company, by the methods they employ to drive prices down. Also, it's the perfect example of how if you have a lot of people buying something, it's cheaper. The same thing applies to insurance. Right now, we have tiny segments of insurance with few folks in them. If we all bought from the same company, health insurance would be very cheap.

[jy006m]

haha, Wikipedia must be run by conservatives!

[kekemankek]

I went to the article you're pulling your quotes from. Guess what it says right at the top in bolded text?

"The neutrality of this article is disputed. "

[kekemankek]

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. I once saw Heath Ledger's wiki page claiming he died of AIDS and that information stayed there for many days.

[jy006m]

"As an example of how government intervention has had unintended consequences, in 1973, the federal government passed the Health Maintenance Organization Act, which heavily subsidized the HMO business model — a model that was in decline prior to such legislative intervention. The law was intended to create market incentives that would lower health care costs, but HMOs have never achieved their cost-reduction potential"

-Wikipedia

[jy006m]

"The federal government prohibits the sale of health insurance across state lines, which is seen by many as one of several causes for the high cost of health insurance in the United States because it decreases the amount of competition between insurers."

-Wikipedia

[jy006m]

"The regulation by the federal and local governments have greatly increased both public and private medical costs"

-Wikipedia

[jy006m]

"Only 27.8 % of the citizens are have a public insurance (16.5 % solely, 11.3 % also have a private one), but yet the costs of public health care are significantly higher than those in Europe, where people mostly use public health care"

-Wikipedia

[jy006m]

The cost impact of the existing mixed public-private system is subject to debate. Free-market advocates claim that the health care system is "dysfunctional" because the system of third-party payments from insurers removes the patient as a major participant in the financial and medical choices that affect costs. Because government intervention has expanded insurance availability through programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, this has exacerbated the problem"

-from wikipedia

[jy006m]

Increased spending on disease prevention is often suggested as a way of reducing health care spending.[48] Research suggests, however, that in most cases prevention does not produce significant long-term costs savings"

-from wikipedia

[DsmB2007]

Wow Cantor looks foolish...

Let me prop up all the thousands of sheets of paper so Americans can see how many trees we killed to create a health care reform bill...

[plubassmusician]

1:30 awesome!!!!

[Mplay1983]

Eric Cantor just got smacked around and lookes so stupid. President Obama is way too intelligent for these fools.

[funnydogsful]

@Mplay1983 I agree

[xmetallica21]

@Justusman72 Obama knows that not alot of people support the bill most of them have healthcare, like you or me, obama could care less about what fucking party wins offices he just wants america fixed and wants this healthcare passed because, there are millions of people who have NONE and who are getting sick and dieing, stop being so ignorant about parties, get off of glenn becks dick the GOP lost there party when reagan died.

[Justusman72]

@xmetallica21 If you think that Obama is not worried about how the health care bill will impact the November elections, then why hasn't he pushed the bill through Congress at a faster pace? Even Pelosi said that Democrats have "already stuck their necks out" for the bill and have gone on record and the public will decide in November if it was all worth it. Beck is an idiot and a distraction. Please continue to think that we are all red-neck ignorant southerners who watch Glen and Hannity.

[Ficknfecker]

The Republicans don't believe in abortions but believe in 40 million americans should not have health care. Republicans don't believe in abortions, but believe that over 1 million Iraqi citizens should die in an unnecessary war. Republicans don't believe in abortions but believe that people should bear arms, Republicans don't believe in abortions but believe that big business (banks) should not have government oversight. WHAT MORE CAN ERIC CANTOR DO FOR US?

[TheMetalPerson]

Health insurance these days costs so much for those who are unemployed or self employed that just getting it will ensure that when you are older, you will NOT have retirement funds. You will be reliant on insurance still.

The fact is that a lot of us are still young and we are very worried that when we're older, we won't have a comfortable retirement and be well taken care of.

Only personal savings and investment can ensure us of a future, and insurance premiums contradict this savings.

[TheMetalPerson]

This is why I am against a government mandate on health insurance. Health insurance in all its forms, including public options, only clogs up our health care sector and drives up prices in the long run. Securitization pools in general have the long term effect of driving up prices.

If lower prices is truly the goal of this reform bill, the only thing that should be done is the banning of health insurance nationwide. That will put an end to the health-care cartel and cause prices to return.

[Nunogsp]

Obama u rock!! everybody in the world loves u. cheers from Portugal

[lmcdowall]

Please, Obama get this deal done. We need reform.

[saftydance2]

I dont understand, I KNOW people from canada/austrilla that are very happy with their health care. I think that we some how need to lower the heatlth insurance cost rates.

[Corvobell]

The public option is GREAT we need some non-profit competition for the Greedy insurance companies.

[HateIsObsolete]

we need to regulate the health care industry, we need to have federally enforced minimum standards of care. insurance companies, like any other companies, profit by cutting costs, not by providing care.

Demofucks, Republicunts, fuck it, STAND TOGETHER AS ONE NATION.

[ChuckImania]

I dunno, maybe the government wants to let you know what's going on with your healthcare?

[underbird]

Increasing regulation and price controls never lead to more choice and competition. Liberty and a free market does.

[scoutie111]

You've got the 'liberty' to suffer and die in the U.S. from a curable illness because you can't afford health insurance. Lovely.

[underbird]

Then why are survival rates better in the US? And our system is not even free-market. 1/2 is controlled by the government.

[scoutie111]

Careful about making a sweeping generalization about 'survival rates,' which somehow suggests that our system is 'the best in the world.' Read complete studies on this (not just soundbites). Also, Harvard Study (2009): "Nearly 45,000 annual deaths [in the U.S.] are associated with lack of health insurance" and "The uninsured have a higher risk of death when compared to the privately insured, even after taking into account socioeconomics, health behaviors, and baseline health."

[underbird]

The study I looked at deals with whether a person lives or dies. Not some bs phone surveys of people made by idiot sociologists with an agenda.

[MegaBoohoohoo]

and how do you this? France has the kind of health care obama is proposing and it works. repubs wont support obama because they want to have the liberty of saying, 'where is the change that he promised?

'

its so dam funny when they think they got something really important to say, & Obama just shuts them down. There is no come backs from the oxy morons! keep it rockin Obama!

[soccergirl13]

Ha ha republicans complain about everything! How does the number of pages of a bill hurt them? Most of them graduated from Ivy League schools, they shouldn't be afraid of a little homework...

[chrissiebosede]

he is so smart!

[Justusman72]

All Obama all day. Is this about healthcare or his ego?

[xmetallica21]

@Justusman72 im pretty sure this is about healthcare jackass i mean he is afterall the president and only wants whats best for the people, and thats what he has been fighting for for the past few months is healthcare pretty sure its not his ego, your just trying to look good on youtube so i think its about yours.

[Justusman72]

Just like a liberal progressive to resort to profanity and name calling. Don't worry, this bill will not go anyplace.

[xmetallica21]

@Justusman72 o it will be passed americans wont stand for millions of uninsured people it will be done sooner or later, now with brown supporting the bill you republicans will die before 2012 election i love watching republicans get destroyed in arguements your party is dieing its time to find a new one typical republican who can give a shit about any other person but themselves get a clue and realize there are people suffering in your own goddamn country your really patriotic arent you?

[Justusman72]

The bill doesn't have the votes in the House. If this bill is forced down the throat of the American public, Democrats will pay a heavy price in the November elections. You are just like Obama at the health summit, you refuse to listen to the American public. 58% of Americans want this bill scrapped. No worries, if you don't hear real Americans now, you will hear us when we vote you out of office. Can you hear us now? It is a win-win for the GOP.

[MattJones1418]

So the ones who support it are fake Americans? I'm not sure I understand that.

[texas224]

So your saying, you have never cursed and swear in your life? It is a human nature to resort to name calling when you are out of words or your losing in a debate. Wouldn't you agree? How is that liberal progressive?
