Why would I read health care bill John Conyers

[MarechaBazen]

This guy is brilliant. How exactly did this tool get elected? Oh wait, he's from Michigan.

[thejimmyzshow]

ROTFL I can't get enough of this.

[stringlov]

The People Need The Same, Health Care, As The People Thay Elect.......

[Qballfph]

if it isn't read, it shouldn't be passed... period.

[diagoumistis]

Term limits!!!!

[stephenabm]

@diagoumistis Term Limits is the US Constitution, vote these leftis out! They should not sign anything that they have not read, understood or agreed with 100%.

[furyofbongos]

Some say that a society driven purely by voluntary interactions and no government interventions at all would result in anarchy. This clip demonstrates that we have anarchy right now.

[sparkloweb]

We need a Constitutional amendment stating that lawmakers must go through all existing statutes section-by-section and re-approve or repeal them each year before considering any new laws that year.

[P3rih3lion]

A better question: what good is it keeping a dolt like you around, voting and enthusiastic yes on a bill you have not read and do not comprehend?

As a Michigander, I'm ashamed you represent me. As an American, I'm screwed because you claim to speak for me. Your era of malaise and ineptitude is over!

p.s. thanks for sticking us taxpayers with the bill to defend your wife in her bribery indictment. You, sir, are a leach of the worst sort.

[BarclayAvenue]

You Moron. He was referring to reading the bill INTO THE RECORD.

Do you need Duh Magazine to write an article for you?

[docpepper]

Are you out of your mind? Did you not watch the video?

[WorkingMotherof2]

How many people abuse the medical system? Haw many people are fat because they wont watch what they eat or excersise - and PUT themselves in poor physical condition? Or have a drug problem, and just want more dope?

Some of these "diseases" are just made up because SOME of these people are just LAZY. If there wasn't any gov to house them or feed them.. they would HAVE to do SOMETHING. No more being lazy. (got one in the family, always depressed and tired) his mom pays for everything.

[SHAMSHAM1090]

liberals......... your rebuttle

[ncleppe]

I think its stupid that you need a group of people to read shit to you just so you can understand. Shouldn't being able to read and understand bills be a requirement for any law making position, or should it not be a law that they have to make bills in understandable English?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Thomas Jefferson  This is his job,is'nt it?

[TheLibertyordeath]

if you don't understand what the bill says, why would you vote for it.unlessyou are just one of obama's sheep, mindless leftist, lets jump off a cliff you go first see ya at the bottom. not!!!

[idiotsallover]

Then don't vote on the bill JACKASS if you don't understand it!

[buckyohaire]

The key point is that there are still 40,000,000 people in America that do not have health insurance. People can be denied insurance for nonsensical reasons, and these people can be bankrupted for becoming ill. This type of thing should not happen in America and if flag-waving, proudly patriotic Americans think they have the moral authority to dictate to the rest of the world how to organise their society without first looking after their own people, then they are hypocrites and sorely mistaken

[buckyohaire]

My question to the naysayers and people that oppose this bill; what would you do to fix the current situation, seeing as the status quo benefits none but the executives in HMOs?

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

buckyO... You wrote The American people think they can... Since when the heck is the average American in charge of what the heads of America do? Aren't most people still waking up to wtf is going on? When The Head Of the UK came and visited Obama and Obama gave UK back a gift they gave to America as a gesture of strength during 911. Obama recently gave it back. AS A GIFT to UK.. wtf. okay so here's the thing. It wasn't his to give away or give back. Did the media tell us or him tell us... NO

[7norton4]

You might want to research the HMO act of 1973 authored bt Ted kennedy

[rjbjr68]

Can we look at the facts?

** of the uninsured **

14 Million are eligible for Medicaid"Source: BlueCross-BlueShield Association study"These people would be signed up for government insurance if they went to an emergency room

10 million + are non-U.S. citizens

18.3 Million are under 34-Many may simply not think about the need for insurance

That covers 42.3 million!

So your 40 million is misleading at best.

Also EVERY citizen has major medical. Hospitals are required to treat everyone

[rjbjr68]

If you are going to throw out things as fact I would recommend actually taking the time to look them up. Regurgitating the lies that politicians spew at us only make you look gullible

ALL politicians (both left and right) are in the business of miss leading us, so we need to be wise consumers of knowledge. If knowledge is power, then you cant afford to be mislead

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

Hey, I have an idea. Tell all the American Citizens that do not have health care to start doing what the illegals do. Go to the emergency room and sign in as if it were your primary clinic. Can't afford to have anohter child? Sure you can, Go to ANCHORS BABIES and see just how the illegals have their children fro free. Only in America Folks

[TheSkootertrash]

And you are a retard. I've personally talked to over thirty people who currently do not have insurance. I asked them why. They said between the free clinics and the emergency rooms, they get all the health care they want, and they do NOT want to be forced to buy insurance for something they already get for free.

[Shadownian]

TheSkootertrash

Problem with what you said is not everyone lives in areas where there are free clinics, and emergency room i dont get. If i go to my local er and dont have insurance...im screwed!!

As far as this vid...well it not the first time hes said this. He said before that nobody reads bills...ever...that basically it would be too much work.

Instead they rather just have one of their lobbyist stuff an envelope in their pocket and tell em how to vote :-)

[buckyohaire]

@Shadownian You are exactly right. And skooter, if the current system of free clinics works so well, with such a hight quality of care, why doesn't everyone do it? not to mention they don't cover preventative care such as mammograms etc. Healthcare should never be about making money, the motive is caring for people. If tax breaks are needed for the insurance companies, give them to those who care for the most people successfully.

[docpepper]

Did you really say that healthcare should never be about money? That is too funny. Please tell that to the doctors, nurses, admin, custodians, and security when it is time for them to get paid.

No one wants to work for free.

It is funny that the left is so worried about these poor people that just can not help themselves. At the same time, the left constantly puts down churches. Churches help more of these people in need than anyone else. So, is it really about helping them or is it power?

[IAmWinstonSmith]

Ask yourself, what would Thomas Jefferson do in these times? What would Samuel Adams or Thomas Paine do?

[HypnoticSuggestion]

With this, members of congress will wind up with better healthcare than any of us, "if" Obama/dems get what they want. What's wrong with Barrack? Seriously does anyone have an idea? Where is this money going to come from, Obama is lying, he actually is lying :( The middle class is gonna get pounded, no, shot in the back. I hope some of you realize just how bad this can be. What will my grandmother do, if the gov decides how she spends her final years? I'll move back to Germany..I'm dead serious.

[dawnmms]

Hypnotic, of course Congress and all of Capitol Hill and all the Union will get better healthcare. That's why they exempted themselves from this monstrosity of a Trojan Horse for DeathCare! Personally ticks me off that they are ramming something thru because of "47" million (out of 300 million) of which 20% are foreigners (non American) and 20% make > $75K and choose not to insure and 20% eligible for Medicare but won't sign up. WTF!!! so for 5% we all SUFFER????

[mako7828]

@HypnoticSuggestion its a global government, there is no place to hide. Comrad

[HypnoticSuggestion]

I'm glad I wasn't there, seeing this man say that in person would have made me sick to my stomach, and probably start shouting. If it's that long, and that complicated, then they need to set up some type of mini-program, I wouldn't know where to start; so that the majority would understand the most important points in the proposed bill. This is crazy, this is like one of us signing a legal document blind folded!!!... OMFG.

Wtf are we gonna do? Money inflation, gov healthcare, war, fuck man..

[swiftkickinthaass]

When most people dont do there job , They get fired!

[sorryforlongcomment]

I think if you can't read a bill you should either not vote or vote no. people take advantage of stupid people like this guy. they make a big bill that says they bet $700 billion and people like him go, oh... it's to big... ok. retard. he should be fired just for saying that.

[3slimdog]

That is why you don't go on leave until the bills are read and your 2 lawyers tell you what it means. GET R DONE.

[News4usall]

So you don't want to do your job. Got it.

And you have only two days to do it? Who said that?

Guys like this are embarrassing.

[lucero78101]

who doesnt want  to do there job? are you talking about the gov.?

[News4usall]

Wow.

Have a good day.

[lucero78101]

i hate this really, everyone that has a job to do should do it, they get paid verry well so they could at least do there job and read it, its verry important to read before signing, and if people have a problem with people not saying nothing about before on reading the bill well they should have said something then.

[skrimpdaddy]

This stupid piece of crap should't be allowed to drive a bus much less this country.... You people better vote this kind of crap out of your states ledgislature

[twinretina]

One oneders if our representatives manage their personal checkbooks the same way--nor knowing what they are signing--I WONDER???

[IndigoVagrant]

A bill shouldn't be a thousand pages. Sounds like it is full of bureaucracy and subsidization to lobbyists.

[higherthandown]

what a dumb ass! "Oh why should I read this bill, our pres is a .....socialist but because of his ethnic background he's never gong to be wrong! what's wrong with you people!!" is this guy serious. no wonder this country is going down the drain faster than ever since Jan 20th.

[jackass255]

The bill that gave George Bush permission to go to Iraq .......

Yall didnt bitch about democrats not READING that bill....

Republicans are stupid

[Charonveritas]

Jackass255 (perfect name I might add), I'm no fan of Bush, but you Dems keep going back in time...Get over it, it's done already.

Conyers admits he doesn't read the Bills that are before him to vote on! He admits to "malfeasence" in office!

He, along with everybody else that votes on a Bill without reading it first, should be recalled immediately! Don't wait to vote them out, do it NOW!

They work for us, we don't work for them! Damn it, it's time we taught them a lesson and fix our country!

[lucero78101]

yea your right there was no bitching on the democrats not reading it so thats yalls problem at least peope are being smart and actiually telling them they need to read it, its part of there job on what they should do. so there for democrats are stupid for not saying nothing before if they have such a problem and republicans are being smart and saying something, thats the stupidist thing to do, just sign on not knowing if it can affect our country on something

[jackass255]

You want people the read the bill because u wanna slow shit down.....

You wanna find time to get people pissed off ......

NO OTHER REASON ..Like i said for 8 years YOUR PARTY never bitched about reading bills

[kepler1000]

This is the most idiotic comment I have seen on youtube in sometime. You do realize you just compared the communist, I mean the Democrat party to the Republicans...smooth!

You do realize how stupid you sound, right?

Here is a hint, if you don't want people getting pissed off, produce a good bill.

[jackass255]

You party is out of reason for a reason....

Why should i waste my time talking to you ???? People like u don't matter...

IMy party doesn't need one of your damned republican votes

[lucero78101]

slow things down jackass, lol you really dont know whats going to happen if this goes through do you,... yea of coarse cuz you would just think about yourself, it would be nice to have free health care, but you know whats gonna happen, how long do you right now have to wait to get seen in the emergency room, it will take even longer when this goes through, now people that have cancer are not gonna be able to get the proper treatment, people that have to go through operations will take longer..

[lucero78101]

ok jackass how do i deserve it? tyou know nothing abo0ut me, i dont have healthcare either and neither does my family but im still smart enough to know thats not the best way to go at it, with free everything

[kepler1000]

I am not a Republican...I am an Independent...a classical liberal!

Is this why you gave yourself the nickname...Jackass?

[Azartyn]

Hey jackass....how about you learn whats been going on...Congress has been controlled by DEMS since 2006 ya twit! So, who is the jackass now?

[lucero78101]

...plus besides the operations, the waiting and more deaths, it does not cover grandparents, older people, basically its waisting there time, look this is really not about democrats and republicans i dont care about that, i just want our country to be good for our kids, in the future, look it up in europe, and other places that have that medicare, it does not work, we do have the best healthcare in the world, we have the best medicine, all that will be down the drain. too many bad things will

[jackass255]

You republicans want your children and grandchildren to grow up in the same america yall grew up in ????

Does that include segregation, Jim Crow , the need for affirmative action, gay bashing, paying women less then men ,....

Certain people look at the history of this country and somehow manage to look past all the bad it include...

I've seen the history books ..I dont have kids yet

But when they grow up the history that seem to embrace i hope there is NO TRACE OF IT LEFT for then 2 see

[lucero78101]

no i dont want them to grow up in the same one i want them to grow in a better one, not one that will lead to disaster. which is what obamas doing

[lucero78101]

man your talking about how bad america is, thats pretty sad because this is the best country in the whole world PERIOD!

[jackass255]

Either way someone's gonna get screwed on this new health insurance deal.......

You're not getting screwed now and don't want to...People in my town are getting screwed and i want them to stand a chance ...

It's bout time people like u get screwed and it's about time for the rest of us to benefit from something

[lucero78101]

i agree higher

[mattandbethackerman]

I hope that the Michigan citizens are contacting this scum. I live in Wisconsin and I even voiced my opinion.

[exweez]

i live in mich and 90% of the the people in his district can't read at all,and 80%of them have been on the dole for at least 2 generations.his wife is going to prison for taking bribes.he will die soon but the next acorn candidate will be worse, his district is a wasteland ,literally

[dawnmms]

If they can't read the bill because it's a thousand pages then maybe they need to cut down the number of pages to where they can read the bill and make sure they know what they are voting on. Isn't that what their job is?? Instead they just know that whatever perks they wanted are in the bill and therefore they will vote yes.Vote out everyone that can't and won't read the bills and make truly informed decisions that is in the best interest of their constituents AND the country as a whole!

[jenjons]

What they said but it goes double for me!! Perfect post!!!

[Orbicularisoris]

He wouldn't be able to read 1st grade 'see dick and jane' what a dumb ass. Who voted this man in office??????

[TheColonialpatriot]

Dear God! Blood is shooting from my eyes! Excuse me, I have to go scream.

[thepissedoffpotato]

shoul get least a week of none disruptive reading with a bill that doesn't fucking need layers so write it in laymens term. FUCK thats the problem with this government. "With the above statement in paragraph 99-101 with the plative of 88-40-321 unless defendet or person there said above over there with atrical 09-401- in your ass - who the fuck can follow this shit - bul shit - can't understand shit - get the fuck out of office you fucking libtar

[pudgenet]

He is actually arguing against the Dem talking point that we should NOT slow down ... he doesn't have two days and two lawyers to understand it ... so ... maybe you should GET two days and two lawyers before you vote on it? Hmmmm?

[gasellers]

I don't mind if they don't read it as long as they don't VOTE for it when they don't read it!

[robinh66]

What a freakin' idiot.

[Metaledge100]

I wonder what all the Democrat voters will try to say about this? How will they try to dismiss what this Democrat said?

At least Conyers has the cahones to tell the truth.

Democrats are killing this country.

We are done if this healthcare reform goes through.............and no one even read it, just like the stimulus bill.....no one read it.

Welcome to the OBAMA NATION!!!!!!

[catchic0000000000000]

Most Democrat voters don't pay attention after they vote for someone. They have short attention spans.
