What's In The Health Care Bill?

[radiokid8]

white republicans disagree with democrats whether its right or wrong...the war cost billions of dollars and kill thousands of soldiers without a reason and here the democrats are trying to save ppl in need but the reps dont like it

reps want ppl dead.

[nolaeast]

That dumb lady in the greed shirt at 2:51 do not even know the meaning of socialism. She was just there taking up space. These folks were shooting themselves in the foot and thinking they were doing a good job. They scream about wanting their country back as if Obama stole it from them. They forget that he was elected by the people of this nation. I for one want to see how his administration will plays out before I say he stole something like Bush did.

[lunafringe10]

americans amaze me, when bush and his cronies screamed: lets go and throw a trillion dollars at the arms industry, they all jubilated, but if it comes to things like , social systems, they scream, no, america is rich, if the money is low now, thank the presidents who you voted in, (bush) why does anyone in this day and age need abortion? there are contraceptives, or are ppl too stupid to use them?

[lunafringe10]

americans tend to cling to phrases they picked up some place, they are not very informed, Obamas system works well in europe, why are the fat cats screaming like this? and so what if small biz has to pay for insurance? its normal in europe, if you cant afford to pay ur social dues, ure out of biz, simple, or u just employ part timers, At the height of wall street, everyone called for privat insurance, where is it now? without tax money, there wouldnt be any pensions, ever thought abt that?

[WolYou]

Lol.

The USA is a third world country. Frightened by decades with buzz-wording like "SOCIALISM" or "COMMUNISM". No US citizen has an idea what those words even mean. Their opinion is a delusion from hollywood and neo-con-media. Don't trust the pharma industry and greedy hospital lobbyists. They are your masters. Visit other countries, and think again.

[beethovenqueen]

Shame on you, CBS. 7 minutes dedicated to this issue (wow) and not one word about tort reform.

Here's a question: Does Obama know what's in the bill? Has he read it? Has he read the CBO reports? Why doesn't CBS ask these questions?

And without laws regulating insurers profits, there will be no controlling health care quality and costs. Why doesn't CBS address the greed of the insurers?

[igglesgirl419]

Beware of the trojan horse known as the healthcare bill. While I think this administration truly wants control over healthcare, I think they really want to sneak Cap & Trade through. I can imagine our senators going back into session and voting yes on cap & trade and when they catch heat, they'll say "but the protestors at the townhalls only wanted no healthcare! They didn't say anything about cap & trade."

Hold your senators to task on the Healthcare Bill AND Cap & Trade.

[chancedagardner]

igglesgirl419

Smart girl.

They already tried to sneak both bills through, and wouldn't surprise me if they did it again with Cap and Trade. The saddest part is that most Americans don't even know about the energy tax.

The energy tax will really hurt our economy. I think if most people knew that the govt. was about to tax EVERYTHING once again they'd be pissed.

Cap and Trade is an energy tax, too bad if you're on a fixed income and just want to heat your house this winter and maybe eat.

[88LOTUS]

Those people you're talking about (fixed income, who are cold and can't eat) -- they better not get sick!

[barbcinque]

soooo nationalized healthcare where the CEO and his greed are cut out of the equation or decisions made by rich greedy CEO's who continue to do nothing to help the americans that have lost their jobs due to rich greedy CEO's

[chancedagardner]

General practitioners pay about $200,000 a year in malpractice insurance.

Consider just for moment what it would cost for an honest physician in one year just to break even.

Tort reform. Put a cap on lawsuits, and your healthcare costs will go down.

Greedy CEOs? I think that you should rethink your position.

You are fighting the wrong battle.

Btw, healthcare is universally available to the poor in this country.

[barbcinque]

Obama NEVER SAID DONT READ THE BILL. ..Americans need a choice to force the insurance crooks to deal more honestly.

huge and expanded profits for the health insurance companies and the drug companies while continuing this pay-or-die system , a system that takes 20,000 lives a year, according to the Institute of Medicine of the Nat Academy of Sciences. Thats sixty people who die every day. OR nationalized healthcare where the CEO AND HIS GREED ARE CUT OUT COMPLETELY!!

[barbcinque]

How do you come up with it if you have cancer? How do you get doctors to give you good care once they know they cant milk the insurance company? I went to emergency rooms when I became very ill and ended up owing $27 grand. With the contagious diseases that exist today, I think its a matter of public welfare to ensure that all Americans can recieve healthcare before its an emergency.

[triptows]

Who needs health care. I have 2 kids and wife and only flex what I might need that year. If I or the other 3 run out of flex(1/4 cost of health insurance then I pay it most of the time) If we run way over the limit for MY family then( like $10,000 or more) then I just simply pay $2,000 for a lawyer to get rid of it plus over 50% of my other bills every 5 years. Hospitals cannot deny you for most treatment especially kids. Take advantage of the system if you do not work for the government system

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

Bullshit, Obama means "hope and lies".

Hope that people don't caught him lying. Will America is really starting to see the lies he has been spreading.

Obama is saying, "don't read the bill just agree on it".

None of this bullshit is even in HR3200. And that's the only bill OPbama wants passed. Other wise he would have shit canned it last week.

[frknlakeside]

Half the foreclosures for medical bull sh$# in the U.S.A. the home can be homestead and nobody can touch it .but the IRS...med bills Bankruptcy you can keep your home I thought I smelled bull sh@#

[MsWhitesugar]

i doubt anyone here has read the whole damn health care reform bill if you did you might be a little concerned and then again you might not be but unless you have shut the fuk up alot of people choose to be poor people think there to good for mcdonalds or burger king but want to suck off people who do MORE KIDS DAMN YOU GET A BIGGER CHECK ON THE 1ST AND IF YOUR THAT POOR YOU ALREADY HAVE HEALTH INS IF YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR LAZY AZZ DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL COUNTY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND APPLY

[dougisnice666]

Please give me health care!!! I needed my wisdom teeth taken out two years ago, but I cannot afford it because I'm poor. My teeth use to be straight, I've had braces, now my teeth are crooked and snaggled because of my wisdom teeth. My dad lost his job due to the economy, and I cannot afford to get them taken out. Please give me health care!!!

[adoringgifts]

Have you tried to apply for welfare?

[dkkght46]

Sarah, she strikes fear in all spineless commie liberals and you are afraid of her. When she's President, they'll all be put in their place--that is, re-education. Liberals know people were gullible enough to vote for Obama they could also be gullible enough to vote for Palin. The light of her goodness and truth hurts their eyes just like liberals do not like the sound of thunder. Defiance of truth does not make the truth go away.

Foolish is temporary...STUPID IS FOREVER.....

[djm9063]

Martha Teichner sucked Obama's dick last night...

[djm9063]

IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!

OBAMA is SATAN!!!

[muse54]

"Social" Security was set up to be an insurance policy not a socialist program. Most of these people are not using free speech they are disrupting meetings. In the '60's we were hauled to jail for that. The people who complain the most are those who have insurance and could care less about the millions that don't. Obama is right, this is America-let's work together or no one wins.

[MultimediaJay]

Someone at CBS is mad at Republicans lol. Here's a hint: Remember the appeal to free speech during the anti-war protests?  Time to swing the pendulum the other way and extend that respect for free speech to town hall meetings.

[JMillion]

Except the free speech that was exercised during the Bush Years were against WAR. They lied us into WAR! Now the gov't wants to give you the option of free health care and you guys think you're country has been hi-jacked. The people voted in Nov for a DEM majority. So, stop making things up to fit your fantasies.

[MultimediaJay]

Free Health Care. LOL. TINSTAAFL, and if you don't know what that means, you are not qualified to debate this stuff.

[cagedtigersteve]

The fact is Sarah Palin had a staff member look for objections in the healthcare bill and the media and write her a memo. Sarah then read the memo or was briefed on the memo. The thing is I really doubt she ever actually read the bill herself.

[johntyc]

This whole thing is a joke. American medical and health care industries simply PROFITED too much!

[purplecharger88]

And what right do you have to judge that. Just because someone has succeed in life gives you no right to use the force of the government to point a gun at someone and take what they have earned away from them.

[johntyc]

Think about poor people too! You cannot deny them life just because they are poor.

[purplecharger88]

And you can't give them money just because they are poor. If you want any clue as to how it fails just look at welfare. Welfare has been shown to hurt more than it helps. This is what charity is for.

[johntyc]

Zero compassion!

[purplecharger88]

No I have plenty of compassion. That is why I give my money to charity not to some government bureaucracy that takes most of the money and flushes it down the toilet. Not to mention the vast dependency caused by welfare or its effect on kids and their achievement in life as well as education.

I would even go as far as to say that it is those who are for welfare that have zero compassion because they fail to see the effects of their own social engineering.

[jaxgixxer]

you are correct you have zero compassion for the ppl that work,the poor bully the rich thru the gov't,haven't you seen how much charities are losing this year,bc noones giving,everyone is taking

[jaxgixxer]

and you can't use gov't force to take from the ppl that work and keep giving it to the ppl that don't,eventually the workers give up and we all starve,that's why communism fails 100% of the time

[johntyc]

Not talking about communism here. I support democracy, but not to a stage where the rich bullies the poor!

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

The day the government says,"everyone must be on health care program", nd the only place you can get it is from the governmnet,sorry but that's all out communism.

There is no such thing as Public Option.

it's a obama put it just a year ago.He wants to uder price insurance companies with unlimited tax payers money.Start forcing everyone on his plan if they want it or not and run the out of business.yes you'll have the option to be on his plan or be taxs 2.2% of your earnings,for your option.

[adoringgifts]

You're 100% right!

[SupportingMyself]

This is called moving from Democracy to Socialism.

IT'S CALLED A FREE COUNTY FOR A REASON!

[jwlnler]

perhaps some people from youtube could start a citizen's group to do a line-by-line reading of the bill, provide some commentary on it, and try to figure out what is written in it. After all, two heads are better than one... that's the thing about politics: if you want your side represented, organize some kind of citizen's group around your position

[sexyred4lance]

@jwlnler has this happened yet... ? i still dont think that people know or understand what is in the bill....

[guillermo316]

i want health care even when i am 100! money just cut down more trees il plant 200 trees if we need to~!

[fivestarmichael]

What is in the bill? You have to be a lawyer to understand it.

And God knows what they are going to add to this 1000 page monster before they pass it in the late hours when we are all sleeping.

Question authority and fear a gov. that still hasn't fixed Medicare and can't seem to do anything else right.

[Mr1700]

if gov can run it better who cares if private industry goes out of business. healthcare is not an item you can sell like a computer or cars.

[MadDogMeh]

True, all those people who know nothing about the plan are crying over something that can help them in the long run.
