Reid and McConnell Debate With Health Care Vote On The Horizon

[john51880]

It is sad what is happening to the democrat party. They have no selfcontrol of late. I hear more and more people say thing like, "They left me I did not leave them". They are out of control!

[dirtyshortsPU]

Adults understand the destructive consequences of this entitlement driven perspective. It is the mindless and children that elected these incompetents in the majority. Thank god I'm successful and will receive future care from facilities owned by myself and other persons of wealth (the patients). Enjoy your lagging government healthcare.

[amrite]

Reid is a weasel.

[WilliamHCarney]

The hell he is.

[Meatpieandtatters]

Fuch off Hairy!

[385Mercedes]

Name-calling is not going to get the United States where it needs to be. All it does, is erode good will, which is sorely needed right now.

[385Mercedes]

The United States seems to have a Republican party of NO.

The United States cannot afford a Democratic party of MAYBE.

Healthcare reform, NOW!!

[385Mercedes]

626, Nobody is talking about the government "taking over" health insurance. Anyone who is satisfied with current arrangement, is completely free to continue with the status quo.

[385Mercedes]

Has anyone lately asked Mitch about the lies perpetrated by his buddy, Canadian Shona Holmes???

This refugee from the Canadian healthcare system has turned into his "poster child" for healthcare, Her lies were well exposed in the Canadian media months ago. Please investigate them for yourself.

How much credibility do Americans give Mitch, and why??????

[aicnalib]

Hey you IGNORANT TEBAGGER RIGHT WING RUSH LIMBAUGH LOVERS, news flash: You LOST the election. Americans OVERWHELMINGLY want healthcare reform after a hundred years of trying and YOUR party doing NOTHING ! Yours is the party "NO" unless it is to help the rich. You are of, by, and for the very rich. Bush was given a surplus and WASTED it ! Either grab a mop and help clean up YOUR mess, or wallow away in ignorant Limbaugh Land as you screech about "freedom" and all the rest of your INSANITY.

[iamavet]

Hey look everyone, it is Rev. Jeremiah Wright .

"God Damn America" and all who disagree with Obama.

[62636263c]

@aicnalib Our problems started long before Bush, and I am no fan of Bush. Our problem is, we became an empire. Now we are an empire of dept, And we will collapse under the weight of it. We all will lose big time in the end.

[jay123jd]

If you are not a fan of Bush you sure as hell are gonna hate the republicon party because they are truly as dumb as he is.

[62636263c]

The mass majority of people in America do not want a massive government take over of our health care system. These freaks in Washington are committing political suicide and don't even know it. This is a disaster for the American people, and a huge loss of freedom. It is now very likely this will pass in the very near future. America you have just been f--ked, and bad.

[CollateralSandwich]

These people are trying to help you.

Leave the legislation to the grown-ups and go watch some SpikeTV.

[62636263c]

@CollateralSandwich The last thing I need is help from these self serving clowns. The best way they can help me is to me alone. But power hungry freaks can't do that. And I am sick of people thinking the Government is going to help them. These jack asses want only to run every aspect of your life, and enslave you. You may want that, but I'll have no part of it.

[jay123jd]

Then move to Cuba 636 they have a waiting list to eat. lol

[62636263c]

@jay123jd Give me, give me, that's all I ever hear out of libs. It's my right, save the world, bla bla bla. You guys are going to bankrupt this country, along with stupid Republicans who can't keep us out of war, and remove are freedoms, and privacy under the banner of national security.We are doomed.

[jay123jd]

@62636263c Bush did not ask one time to give me. He and all the other republicons just take and take until everyone gets mad a votes a democrat in. Then all these right wingers will go back and vote in another traitor republicon and these greedy basterds will take some more. Hell I would go for republicons too but the money they take never goes for the good of this country only into their greedy bank accounts. A vote for republicons goes back to a 7000 Dow with credit default swaps.

[jeangrey65]

Bravo

[jeangrey65]

Where have you been 626? We are already bankrupt. China owns our asses with an interest rate. Our freedoms were removed long ago by greed. We tried it you way and this is where we are, now it's time to finally give the people aka governement some options to help us out of this horrible mess we are in. Nothing is free but when you work hard, corperations shouldnt be able to take everything from you because your ill. We are forced to carry car insurance, why not medical?

[62636263c]

@jeangrey65 I can see by your comments you really are a nice and caring person, however misguided. Auto insurance is a must to have the privilege to drive, enacted by the States, and there is no public option by said States. To have a State require health insurance is one thing, but to take over the industry is another. Greed in and of itself does not remove freedoms from people. The need to be taken care of by others removes freedom.

[62636263c]

@62636263c We the people have allowed for the destruction of our Republic through complacency. Yes we are bankrupt as a nation, but where is more spending to enslave the people going to solve the problem. The answer, it will not.

[jay123jd]

62............ The greed shown by the republicons for the last eight years by letting isurance companies push the American tax payer to an all time low in per-capita earnings because of inflated health insurance premiums is a corportist mentality that affects every american in this country. You just want the haves (5%) to own all (95%) of the wealth. Well they got a real good start under you little Bushies.

[jay123jd]

If the Dow Jones under Bush had not fallen to a post 1997 low we might all have funds in our 401Ks to help pay insurance companies for their out and out greed. But by republicons not minding the store, credit default swaps as well as predatory lending and pawning off C loans for A, this country is in for a rocky republicon aftermath. The billionaires in the world are still holding on to billions and billions of credit default swap toxic paper. Republicons and the elite are still screwing us.

[jay123jd]

Republicons could not mind a snowcone stand.

[jay123jd]

62.... did you bitch when the DOW went to a post 1997 level? Did you bitch when the Iraq War was and still is costing America $40 billion a month? Did you bitch when credit default swaps were funneled into the market under republicon majority in Dec of 2000 when Clinton had already left? Did you bitch when Goldman Sachs and others naked short sold Lehman Bros to gain control of the financial market? Did you bitch when mortgage companies used predatory lending to dupe people that had bad credit?

[jay123jd]

Mass majority my white ass. Most people with a brain attached know how important healtcare insurance reforms is. Apparently 62636263 don't add up.

[SparklestheClown]

I have been watching CSpan today and am sick to death of the warm fuzzy denial of the democrats, and the lack of allowed input by republicans into this travesty of a bill. You all should all be voted out! We will! You have performed a crime against the US and us. Reform, not 2000 pages of total scam! Shame on you Dems!

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the wsj-foxnews-rushie ECONOMIC FREEFALL neocons is the obstruction politico of NO ... the manson i mean murdoch family (bod & largest shareholder) are led mostly from australia & rupert's wife's born in chicom Xuzhou ... they insist on keeping health care costs soaring with no changes ... sending millions of jobs overseas to china & the economy into a GREAT DEPRESSION with millions jobless, thousands of bank failures & the collapse of gm & chrysler ... join the fox news sponsor boycott

[iamavet]

Yes America,( repeat AMERICA) needs a debate on HEALTH CARE., not this HC Bill and not a debate between Senators.

Have more town hall meetings about this HC plan first.

[aicnalib]

We have been "debating" for 100 years. We have "debated" all year long. No more FAKE town hall TEABAGGER ranting meetings ! It is time for action. 46,000 Americans die a year for not having healthcare. SHAMEFUL in America! SHAMEFUL !

[iamavet]

Poor are you brainwashed with Obama Kool Aid.

It is possible"46k Americans die a year" not having HCare but that total is bogus since it only a piece of all total deaths in America.

in 2005 people with HCare or Not having HCare:

Number of deaths: 2,426,264.

99% died even with having Hcare.

Cut Medicare and the totals will go even higher. 'But more than 910,000 Americans still die of heart disease annually,"

The DNC says 'Sucker born every minute"

[jay123jd]

Now days to be a teabagger or not to be a teabagger. That is the question. Sad thing is a teabagger cannot answer how or why health insurance needs reform. They just do not trust the government yet trust insurance companies. How the fuck did that happen. Is this a southern thing? I live in Texas and Gov. Perry and Kay Bailey and John Cornyn love insurance companies. They cum these three swallow.

[jeangrey65]

American health care system

...achieves shorter life expectancy than the British, French, German, Canadian or Japanese systems, but it eats up 16 percent of the resources in the economy, compared with between eight and 11 percent in those other countries. The difference - six percent or so of economic output - suggests that the waste in the American system comes to $700 billion a year. So I ask you iamavet, when is it time to make a change? How many must die, lose their jobs and housing?
