  • B.Obama's Health Care Reformation... Do you believe in this administration bill? Come to my utube channel page to See precisely why Y0UR thoughts are important !!

  • America...what kind of EVIL minded people are you?

    You DENY Heath Care to the poor and those who cannot pay for treatment!

    OUTRAGEOUS!!!

    You allow RICH Corporations to EXECUTE poor people by denying medical treatment and operations - all so some Rich Bastard can get a higher percentage point on their profits.

    USA - Do you realize that the WORLD looks upon you with DISGUST and CONTEMPT?

    You KILL your own sick and poor citizens....all for the benefit of the RICH!!!

    You evil people.......

  • I think those who are better off who have insurance and think the rest of us who are not so well off should be terminate for treatable disease are either selfish or stupid, everyone has the right that you have including having access to health care

  • Remember folks these are the same ones that run the broke/in debt postal service.

  • I have been a physician for 35 years. Not one physician I know supports this. This bill will legalize arbitrary irresponsible government control of both patients and Drs. It will increase costs, limit access and set life saving test and procedures off limits. Affordable, cost effective private insurance will be destroyed, and the great medical practice we all now enjoy will perish. The liberals will finally get the medical ignorance they all want, inexperienced and ineffective, like Obama.

  • Great comments. I do a lot of work with the VA hospitals with what I do. If they are a snapshot of govt. run healthcare, we're all in deep trouble. There are a lot of good, caring people. But, there are also those just there for a pension. So much waste, unnaccountability and innefficiency. Scary.

  • Stickmodee, I agree about the VA, I run a VA clinic 1 day a week. Lots of paper work, not enough patient care, with >50% of dollars to administration. We Drs in Medicine know what the problem is. This bill makes health care more expensive and less effective. Comments from uneducated- like MoeFoeChateau "There has to be reform or we will go broke." Does this logically lead to "We need the Government to mandate Health Insurance" How does this keep us from going broke. We just go broke faster.

  • Thanks for the informed reply. i can see why those like MoFo feel the way they do, but their proposed solutions are totally wrong. Govt. meddling in the free market is a prime reason HC costs are so high. Let insurance co's compete across state lines. Let people establish their own, tax free, HC accounts so they can shop for care. Competition always reduces cost and improves service. Limit these ridiclous malpractice suits. Socialized medicine has not, and does not work.Same with socialism.

  • Listening to people such as Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly, is a mistake. They are influenced by ratings and producers...and have now subdued to their own ego's and have chosen to use this country as a forum for the Republican agenda. Stop saying Marxist, or socialist....it's ignorant. They use it, then you use it, its imitation not intelligence. He is no more a Nazi or a socialist than you are a rocket scientist.

  • @MrMetalingus89 i would like to also add that listening to people like rachel maddow and esp keith olbermann is even a bigger mistake. they are likewise influenced by their personal liberal bias and ratings.

  • I know and that's why I don't. Commentators are paid to say what a network wants them to say. I have this thing called, thinking that I enjoy on a daily basis and here's the kicker....I do it for myself.

  • @pedro, good call...people NEED to, not should, use the internet in ways that can't quite comprehend yet. Stop googling the cute kitten who can flush a toilet or grandma's slip and fall down a flight of stairs...they should use one hour a day to simply look up the kind of documents that are set in place for "your own good." Right now we have the Health Care Bid. Use your time wisely and do not allow lobbyist's for big business contradict reason. You bitch about costs, so fix it, help us.

  • *you're*

  • Political bickering while most of our current health care costs are just waste. There is no choice. There has to be reform or we will go broke. If you think the current system can handle all the baby boomers getting old your on cloud nine. The government is already paying for the majority of the uncompensated hospital care. People are talking like the uninsured don't go to hospitals now.

  • Blah blah blah...and so on...too many promises that we don't know which one are lies ...some may be true but mostly lies...Karl Marx making a Utopian scenario speech...fighting a bill he didn't make, lobbyists made, with Pelosi and liberals...How did we end up with a Saul Alinsky Communist President!!! And a dumb Congress...it reflects on the people who voted these idiots.

  • Lord Obama the first dictator of the U.S.A.

    Of course lord Obama wants to save money by sending all of those old white people to a death panel. Therefore he can save that money for his ACORN goons and illegals, people who are more likely to vote for him. His only real job was training ACORN thugs to shake down small business owers and stuff balot boxes like in the last election. The Barakmeister a racist ,liar, corrupt and incompitent but a great con man, with the help of the marxist media.

  • blah blah blah.. he is all that huh? is he also the Sith Lord? omg... too bad.

  • What I do know is that its wide open to abuse from foreign influx. Example mothers operation delayed because a visiting African demand a £15,000 heart operation claiming it would be a breach of her human rights. NHS did not spring up overnight it was paid for by the indiginous people

  • I find it funny that people are spreading misconceived views on the health care bill. Pointing out that page 425 to page 430 is a threat to old people. It only states there that the old person can chose his own health treatment with the help of their physician. That means when he comes to an old age would he like to have as life sustaining treatment. If people would just Google the health care bill they would be better informed. Instead taking it as a truth from lobbyist with own agenda.

  • ATTENTION, This Health Care Bill (H.R.3200) will kill the elderly. Read pages 425 - 430. The care for the elderly will decrease as their age increases. Eventually a committee will decide WHEN AND HOW they will die! They will be extremely rationed and may or may not receive nutritional needs! WAKE UP FOLKS, THIS IS ELDERLY EUTHANASIA! This will eventually affect YOU! Contact your Senators, and spread the word. (God help this country.)

  • What an intelligent, knowledgeable and eloquent President!

    Congrats to these USA!

  • Spammer

  • You've obviously been brainwashed.

  • phillipmarch22 you are correct!

    I don't know why your comment is marked as spam.  I guess they can't deal with the facts?

  • Tim, why is indoctus41 going off on you? What did you say to piss them off?

  • I said,"Time to call/ write/ email all our Senators to stop their vote on this.

    United States Senate - (202) 224-3121

    Let's put the pressure on AND KEEP IT ON and not stop until they vote this one down!"

    (cont)

  • Ah yes the health care bil bent on taxing the shit out of people to work. IT's just how the democratic party works and trys to solve all of their problems which is why they've always been a weak party. They throw money at everything!

  • Weak party? The Democrats? Have you seen who controls the House, Senate, and White House? Do you live in a cave?

  • Just because you control something doesn't mean you can do a good job. True bush sucked but not all republicans sleep with a woman then say they didn't have sexual relations with them. Then resign before they can be impeached dfor being an embaressment to this nation. so f- you and f- the democratic party. Guess where the whole well-fare idea came from. Demos. You're paying for lazy slobs at home all because they wanted a fast solution, green span ring a bell?

  • I would rather have my tax dollars pay for people who can not find work, than how you would like to spend your money killing people. Have you applied for welfare? Do you know how long you can stay on welfare? I bet you don't. I hope that you look these things up, because you will learn in short order, these programs are very temporary. You can not stay on your couch long. And always remember, no matter what you do, you can be replaced. Get off your high horse or you will be knocked off! Karma!

  • ouch!! but very true

  • And, "To find your senators phone number

    w w w ( dot) senate (dot) gov /genera l/resources /pdf/ senators _ phone _l ist. pdf

    (Type in without spaces) "

  • Right on Tim! I go to that site often. I have a data base of all their phone, fax, and email addresses. I have free long distance and fax them often. (I think faxing is good sometimes, emails are easy to erase) This is a really big deal for me, not so much for me, but if everyone truly wants the best for their children and grandchildren, you should really care right now!

  • Last night on Fox News, a former Clinton Administration council to the President stated courageously that this bill was not just about money, it was about euthanasia.

  • NObama is a puppet like governor bush. & this plan is another way of ensuring our enslavement to the banking masters.

    Universal health care is a human right & should be implemented on the state level with an efficient and reasonable tax. Let each state decide if they want it. END federalism.

    States rights!

    If the redneck jackoff states don't want it then it's their RIGHT not to have it imposed on them. But, they get NOTHING in tax welfare from the other states.

    See! Now everybody is happy.

  • Time to call/ write/ email all our Senators to stop their vote on this.

    United States Senate - (202) 224-3121

  • timmunist:

    OK but don't come whining to me if you have a heart attack or stroke or are in a car accident and your HMO tells you to take a hike.

    Don't come whining to me.

  • On page 425 of the proposed bill, it says that everyone on social security (will include all senior citizens & SSI people) will go to MANDATORY counseling every 5 yrs to learn & to choose from ways to end your suffering (and your life). Yes, they are going to push SUICIDE to cut Medicare spending! Health care will be denied based on age. $500 bil will be cut from seniors healthcare. The only way for that to happen is to drastically cut health care, the oldest and sickest will be cut first.

  • timmunst:

    Utter rubbish. I swear you must be on the payroll of a wealthy HMO.

    Most of the articles in this section of the bill (Advance Care Planning) would be in any good will. That's right. We all die, and if you plan for it you can save your family a lot of discomfort, especially if they know your wishes if you become incapacitated.

    Oh, I have your cheque from CIGNA. Do you want to me drop it off?

  • Blue Dog Max Baucus HAS received $2,797,381 from the health sector and $1,170,313 from the insurance sector. It DOES tell me something!

    I will call his office ! 202 224 2651 or in Montana at 800 332 6106

  • Right on Tim! I have pretty much gone to every healthcare site and posted Max's lobby donations. Thanks for speading the word! Keep up the good work new friend!

  • you right-wing morons always whine about govt spending until it comes to the Pentagon, and then you all line up like traci lords to suck on the fattest porksickle there is out there...go comiserate with Sarah Palin, your resident mensa scholar, and Mark Sanfod, your resident eroticist.

  • take your socialized medicine and go stick it up your ass.Go get your heart bypass in cuba you dumbfucks.

  • You can spend your money better then the gov't can

  • Any American liberal with a brain knows that Soviet-style communism failed. But so has AMERICAN-style robber-baron capitalism, first in the 1890s, then the 1930s and now again. There is a solution in the middle - thats the way it works. Humans are imperfect, so stop acting like your right-wing utopia exists. Its a pile of utter nonsense. You let corporations rip people off, and they will do it.

    Noone's going to take away the right of people to pay extra for 5-star healthcare.

  • Actually, in Canada its illegal to pay for healthcare.

    Also, in order to give someone healthcare you need to steal somebody else's money, its just not fair.

  • I can't wait till our hospitals are like going to the VA or the dmv. Sounds like a great idea. I love when the government has more power and control.

  • Single pay health care will make things worse by reducing competition increasing red tape and exacerbating inefficiencies.We need to make health care more afordable not take it over the cliff.

  • The private health insurers have had PLENTY of time to get competitive to lower costs. All they have done is to compete to raise costs. It is WAY past time for our government to step in with a public option. Our federal government is here to do what the states can not. And the states have NOT done it right. Call your Congressman and support the publiic option. We are getting totally ripped off by private insurance companies. The top CEO makes $200,000 while 50 million people are not covered.

  • You enjoy alcohol, smokes, Coke & potato chips uncle Sam is going to hit you to pay for universal health care. Bad behavior Tax -a $2 tax on a pack of cigarettes (Obama taxed these for S-CHIP) and a higher excise tax on alcohol. Taxing tobacco, junk foods and alcohol could raise $600 billion over 10 years. People who like the tax-free status of their company health benefits could be asked to ante up. Money in the pot: more than $700 billion over 10 years. Now this is Hope & Change, Go Obama!

  • Typical right-winger. Offers no argument to the facts, makes an ad hominem attack, then forgets their attack and acts all sun-shiney and above it all. Typical, stupid obfuscating republican...smiling at armageddon..enjoy life as a moronic lemming...sweetums...

  • Fuck Obama. I knew his rhetoric wasn't convincing. Its because he employs calculation over morality. This guy doesn't have what it takes to be a real leader. He doesnt understand that real power is seized and USED forcefully. He could get everything he promised, if he used the people like Reagan and Bush did, and knuckled DC under. Instead he sells out to the Pentagon, Goldman Sachs, and health care corps. America may never get the clue it needs.

  • what your suggesting is a under the table communist government with a democratic cover...

    im not buying it

  • You dont even know what communism or socialism are. We are miles from both. You think you're living free right now? You really imagine that the govt doesn't rule you? Rule by the Daniel Boone gunslinging idiot is over. The frontier is over. Welcome to civilization.

    You probably inherited all your wealth...that's fine, time for the elites to eat a steaming pile - they had their chance, and they ruined the country...

  • Inherited all my wealth?!?!

    WHAT WEALTH?!?!

    im a lower middle class workin kid who is trying to help my parents pay their bills and pay off our debts....the computer im using im still paying payments for!

    my mother had to buy her own clothes and pay her own mother rent at 16 and my father has had to save up for nearly everything he has ever wanted...and I don't have anything that would classify me as *Rich*

    get to know the person before you bash him

  • ok, then why are you voting against reform that will benefit you, as opposed to the rich. it always amazes me when blue-collar dudes vote for republicans, who are only about helping the rich, no matter what bullshit they put out there. Stop worrying about socialism and communism, and start worrying about justice, and running an economy that doesnt collapse under the weight or rich thieves.

  • im not I wanna vote for a system that will benifit me thats what im saying!

  • President Lied several times to get elected ..No Universal health care ,500 Americans Died while BAUCUS Laughed and no end of Iraq ,Our Own are shooting each other just to GET OUT DEAD OR ALIVE ! Lobbiest NEVER LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE another Bold face LIE !

  • This is fucking bullshit. When I bought generic accutane in canada it was $80 at the pharmacy. I come to the US and the same dosage and brand of generic accutane is $300. WHY????

  • Amen scata99! I am a full on liberal Democrat and proud of it, but I will also have to say that I am very proud of Senator McCain, because he put forth a bill to enable US citizens to cross in to Canada or order on-line our prescription drugs from Canada! Gotta give the guy credit where credit is due!

  • I lean a little right... I didn't vote for Obama but I didn't panic when he was elected. I actually kind of liked him as a person. I should have panicked.

  • you're a moron. whats screwing america is right-wing crony capitalism, and sell-out dem bitches like Reid Pelosi, and yeah, apparently, sell-out obama...

  • Switch to decaff.

  • I dont drink coffee, chumstick...switch on your feeble brain

  • I love dramatic theatrics as much as the next person. I just find it hard to feel insulted by a youtuber with anger issues and a personality transplant.

    Feel free to get lost :)

  • Doctors were not invited because they are against the plan.

  • I pay for my health insurance and I resent these new taxes to pay for FREE health care for illegals and those unwilling to work. I work a hard job and pay high taxes, let those in want do the same.

  • I think it would be cool to let the people that dont like the one pay system keep paying the insurance money making machine and let the people that want the one pay system fund it on their own.

  • Gov. Romney's universal health care program for Massachusetts includes taxpayer-funded abortions

    G.O.P MAY ALSO BELIVE IN SOCIALISM

  • Altogether now: BIRTH CONTROL CURES POVERTY!

    I.U.D-$300 to insert.

    Medical care for a newborn-$3000 in the baby's first year.

    Day care-$2000 a year per child.

    BIRTH CONTROL REDUCES CRIME!!!!

  • Socialize it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake Up America, you should have the constitutional RIGHT for health care, (like the rest of western democracies) after-all we are paying taxes right ?? Can't just keep spending for wars, about US ?? The American people ??

  • Socialized health care is actually pretty bad. Just ask a Canadian. When you're healthy it's good because you know you're covered, but when you get sick, you're in trouble.

    Socialized health care leads to doctor shortages, months of waiting for operations, rationing, and people being denied treatment.

    We might not have affordable health care, but here people aren't denied treatment.

    There are ways of lowering prices, like using HSAs so people actually pay attention to costs.

  • ab1chslap!...I listened to an old Ronald Regan speech concerning the evil of - socialized health care - and his top concern was the Un-American aspect of telling thousands of Doctors ....where they will be ALLOWED to practice!......it will all be decided by a GOVERNMENT hive of goose steppers......I have an aunty who is TOTALLY stroked out & her death-migrane was not treated! - she was given a BED ONLY and NO tests till they found her in a COMA! her brain bleed left her disabled all via Canada!

  • That's just awful. I don't think that could ever happen in the U.S. but for some reason people think we need to make our system more like Canada's.

    I hope we don't socialize our health care here. I heard that a lot of Canadians leave Canada and go to the United States when they need better health care but if we ruin our system I don't know where they'll go.

  • - my meds and shots were ONLY made available to me - thru a research group in America and Israel.....they spent millions to find help for only 300,000-400,000 thousand people who would benefit from these meds....and the American system allowed them to re-coup their costs now...and make a PROFIT! Obama will ruin this world class research system - there will be no MONEY & if they made ANY Omama will TAKE IT! I stand in line with Canadians in my Docs office cause there are no Docs in Canada 4 them

  • I blame Michael Moore's propaganda video.

    I wish people would stop trying to find solutions where no problem exists.

    Too bad Ron Paul isn't the president.

  • ...years ago....I watched a skit on TV ...with a Ross Perot/Ron Paul pretend President......and they had their "administration"....seated around the Oval Office......it panned down to him ~~~drumming~~~on the desk......He looked up at the others.....said: "WELL...I cut a check out of my own bank account, to help balance the bank problems....I figured out all the other problems, & have all those documents signed.....its a little early for lunch BUT "what the heck" lets GO! skit-titled: (1st day)

  • Was it funny?

  • VERY!!...at first you thought it was just another day in the life of a President....then you realized it was representing a person like Ron Paul and Ross Perot...and you saw someone who could just GET IT DONE!...NOW!....without fanfare and with "critical thinking" involved!....we laughed so much when it said: "1st day" and you realized the entire countrys problems where solved BEFORE lunch!.......and=how America could breathe easier and have a good man in charge!.....Obama is SCARY

  • So Ron Paul wasn't in the skit was he?

    He would be such an awesome president. Probably the best ever.

  • Yeah Michael Moore hates America more than anyone. Liberalism is going to kill this country just like it's killing Canada and everyones screaming YAY! as we go straight to hell.

  • Canadians cross the border a lot to seek adequate and immediate health care here. It's a fact.

  • I bet Americans aren't running over to Canada for treatment.

  • Errm...no, we don't. I live in Canada right near the U.S. border. I have NEVER known anyone who has 'crossed' over to seek medical care, because we like our system better. It's free, and it's just as adequate. I do, on the other hand, know several Americans who come up HERE to be treated.

  • bullshit McGee

  • lol, you're calling 'bullshit' on someone who actually lives in Canada and knows what they're talking about...righttt...

  • Clinton, seeking to illustrate U.S. interest in ending Bush's acrimonious relations with Moscow, Hillary gave Lavrov a red button labeled "reset," in Russian. Because of a translation error, the button was labeled "overcharge." The Russians

    got the idea, they already know they are dealing with the looney Obama admin. What if this had happened to Bush.

    Remember when Bush tried to open the locked door, this was Hillary's locked door!

  • Our government is bought and paid for by oil and insurance. Just look it up it will make you sick. No way in hell will we get a national health care system or electric cars.

  • come on.. give the guy a chance...we can all stay home from now on and have a house, oil, healthcare, food college educations... Jesus wouldn't steer us wrong, would he?

    Write to me in 4 yrs and tell me how much better off you are...

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

  • Is anyone surprised that the Messiah would use fear to promote his agenda of nationalized healthcare for all? Back in November I warned people that the Black Bush would use fear to promote his political agenda. Day after day Berry Sottero seemingly goes out of his way to prove me right. This push for nationalized healthcare goes far beyond the realm of common sense. In the time it took me to write this comment 12 more people filed bankruptcy due to medical bills Obama wants you and I to pay.

  • LOL! I highly doubt Obama is the messiah...LOL!

  • Oct 2008: Hawaii drops the state universal health care program just 7 months after it launched. Budget shortfalls eliminated funding. Families dropped private coverage so their children would be eligible for the universal plan."People who were able to afford health care began to stop paying so they could get it for free," mostly serving immigrants and members of lower-income families enrolled. It was helping those who didn't need it.

  • Why can't health care look like auto insurance? Pay the premium you want to the provider you want which allows you to choose the serviceprovier you want and the detail of care you want.

  • Banks are crashing, FDIC is almost broke, your 401K is less than half since Jan 20th and the stock market is sinking.Your now paying other peoples mortgages, hidden Tax increases, 20 TRILLION spent and now Obama now says our problems all stem from the high cost of health care? Who is going to pay for this? You libs need to start controlling this jerk before he ruins your life.

  • The model they are all looking at is the Mass. model, so single payer has a long way to go.

  • Bill reminds me of the creator of marvel basically the same narrative voice :)
