  • Obama, you make me sick!! You are a two tonged lying sack of Shit...

  • The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

    •Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

    •Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

    •War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more

  • @imabeatlelover4

    You asked:

    " Why is it that Obama cares SO MUCH about health insurance rates going up and not your utility bills?".

    I suspect the reason is the bail-out AIG, FORD & HEALTH CARE Industries will be used to donate funds LEGALLY for Obama to get re-elect in the next election!

    WHEN ONE HAS LIMITLESS FUND FOR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, ONE CAN BE THE PRESIDENT FOREVER, UNDERSTAND?

    This explains why he does not care about what the majority of the American people say!

    AMEN

  • Why is it that Obama cares SO MUCH about health insurance rates going up but doesn't seem to care at all about how our utility bills would "necessarily skyrocket" with his Cap & Tax bill?

  • AMA and ANA (DOCTORS & NURSES) support the Bill.

    4Profit Insurance companies are against the Bill.

    Why would Doctors support a Bill that taxes them, > $200,000? They have seen enough abuse by the Insurance Companies against their patients: deny treatments, changing drug formulary, drop coverage, preexisting condition exclusion, & Medicare drug GAP for Senior. Dont ever get sick or in an accident, you will be bankrupted & screwed by Insurance.

    I will go with AMA on Health Care Reform.

  • November 5, 2009 — The American Medical Association (AMA) supports a massive healthcare reform bill in the US House of Representatives that may come to a vote this Saturday, but the voting can't stop there, AMA President J. James Rohack, MD, said today.

  • MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN HAVE INSURANCE, but outrageous premium, deny surgical, drug treatment based on arbitrary profit driven criteria is IMMORAL. Tumor 0.1 inch over limits no treatment for you. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS are still one accident, one serious illness, or one chronic disease away from declaring Bankruptcy. Only if you are lucky enough to receive treatments & live long enough to file one. System is broken and failed MIDDLE CLASS that is why there is an outcry for reform.

  • The majority of Americans are against this bill!! Smart Americans understand government programs are wasteful and disrespect the taxpayers hard earned tax revenue, they do not want BIG GREEDY WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT wasting their money on programs that have show not to solve problems but only increase them!! Once these bills past the continue to GROW AND WASTE!Americans are very unhappy and DO NOT WANT NATIONALZED AND DICTATED HEALTH CARE!!AMERICANS WANT FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND MORE COMPETITION!!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds you sir must be a gay

  • It's under handed, it's pushing their will on the people. Most Americans want this tabled and put on c-span so We can hear the pros and cons of this bill. They are cowardly.

    (somebody who anonymously harms those who cannot defend themselves)

    Looks like we can't defend ourselves as they are going to do what they want anyway!

    We have a bunch of cowards in congress

  • @timefordifference: Most Americans trust Obama and WANT universal health care. The cowards in Congress are the ones who have been bribed by the health insurance companies and are no longer thinking about what's best for the people!

  • @judyleasugar97 That is your opinion and you are entitled to it and America has theirs. Most Americans want this bill tabled, put on c-span so they can hear the pros and cons. Not following the majoritys request is being cowardly no matter how you slice it.

  • GOD BLESS OBAMA & AMERICA!

    Go get them, get rid of this Unregulated Greedy B.A.S.T.A.R.D, who would rather see American die, just for making a buck. Tax on income $200,000 or more actually reverse the $ 2 Trillion Tax Breaks given to the rich during Bush Era, which was passed under simple majority vote. No Government takeover because no single payer in this bill. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN WINS no new tax, affordable, secure, and comprehensive coverage!

  • AMA and ANA (DOCTORS & NURSES) support the Bill.

    4Profit Insurance companies are against the Bill.

  • @noformstyle: Are you kidding? MD's would love to get the insurance companies off their backs. They have no love for these HC companies that tell them who they can and can't treat. Doctors will make just as much money under this bill. The only people that will "suffer" are the health insurance company execs who won't make their millions of dollars in bonuses, money they earn denying people care!

  • Our President wants redistributive change. The best way to achieve this is to own everything and redistribute it.

    ....And I want my scalps...Sound Good!

  • I have to wonder of those who are all for this healthSCARE program----do you realize in the bill as it is now if you do not pay for their healthcare program---you can go to jail. 1st time in my life I have ever heard of you could go to jail for simply BEING BORN!!! It is in the bill---look it up----and obama nor botox queen pelosi would directly answer the question when asked.How can you DEEM a vote through as they call it--w/out voting on it. UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!!!!This is still for now USA

  • @66flowers: That is FOX CHANNEL LIES! No one is going to jail, Christ's sake. They will say ANYTHING to fool people!

  • Pelosi stated we need to pass the health care bill to see what's in it. The very heart of the Republic is now in jeopardy. A singular,specific,proposed bill has very specific requirements for compliance/passage with the recording of members votes in both houses. No policies have ever been enacted without the passage of specific statutes. This is the greatest Constitutional crisis in our nations history, no laws, just tyrannical rule

  • The unconstitutional implementation of this process is effectively imposing Marshall Law. We are looking at collusion between separate branches of government to conspire to circumvent the law. This is lawlessness of the highest order! Patriots be prepared!

  • @bigdogphoto: Name the law this bill is "circumventing"? Where in the Constitution does it say we can't have universal health care? How is it "Marshal law" if 75 percent of the American people want it?

  • Sorry to say, your questions show your ignorance and gullibility. When there is wide-spread civil disobedience because you impose policy by an arbitrary order or decree and take control of 1/6 of the nations economy you have Marshall Law! Get a copy of the Constitution and start with section 7. I will put my faith in fourteen pages of parchment over two thousand plus pages of health care confiscation/control any day!

  • Aren't you glad BO is granting terrorists selective Constitutional protections while trampling all over citizens rights? Remember the violation of the Privacy Act by the White House? I can give more examples like demands for private information being coerced without warrants by the AG but surprisingly they are censored when I try to post them! Wake up foolish people!

    Thomas Jefferson: "The best way to help the poor is to make them uncomfortable in their poverty." .Thus, a safety net like Medicaid is ok, but universal healthcare will make them too comfortable in their poverty. And if you dont believe universal healthcare is for the poor, then understand something: Wealth redistribution is not in the Constitution.

  • By the way, this bill is in no way shape or form the same as Canada. This bill does NOT make it free for everyone, shit, i don't even think it has an option in it as it stands right now....

    But hey, Faux News was sympathetic to Joe the plumber, why not now? why don't they give a shit about Joe the plumber now, don't they want small business to pay less expenses, and employ more people? Joe will not have to pay as much to cover his people if this bill passes!!

    Pull your heads out people!!!

  • You Republicants were so patriotic about invading a sovereign country, murdering over 1 MILLION Iraqis, for 911, WRONG! Because they had WMD's, no wait, for oil, no! that's not right, we were LIBERATING THOSE PEOPLE. Anyone against the war was unpatriotic says Faux News.

    Well, hundreds thousands of lives later, we have the opportunity to "Liberate" our own Fucking people!! Anyone against this bill is Un-Patriotic.

    47 million un-inssured Americans 8.5 Million of them are our children!!

  • You republicans have no place to talk about ballooning deficit, let alone our dollar.

    ~How easily you forget this country's biggest scam: IRAQ WAR

    ~Second biggest scam: Bush's bailout to wall street (different than Obamas)

    ~The banks inflated our dollar through over lending and steadily raising the value of property way to high.

    I sat back and watched your pres (Mr W) spend more than all our previous presidents combined, and now you feel the need to blame Obama care for inflation?

    Idiots!!

  • @i8al We did not forget 911 and the attack on America, Sadam laughing at the inncocent victims of islamic terror and praising the attack that killed over 3,ooo and injured thousands of others! A war the Democrat Congress supported and passed all bills during W's administration!Congress passes bills not the President! W's bailout again supported by the LIBERAL CONGRESS but less the HALF the size of OBAMAS bill that bankrupted America further!Congress sued banks to lower lending standards and won!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds: This is Fox Channel propaganda. Bush had a predominantly Republican congress. It is true Dems supported the war initially, BUT WE WERE LIED TO.

    Obama has only contributed 1/8 to the national deficit.

  • @judyleasugar97 YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON!!!!! DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN PASS THAT BULLSHIT ON TO ME AND THE REST OF THE U.S.A????? IT IS IN THE HISTORY BOOKS , IT IS FACT, IF YOU DID NOT LIKE THE WAR AND IT'S SUPPORTERS YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AS FAR AS THE LIBERAL CONGRESS THAT FUNDED IT!!!!!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds: WE WERE LIED TO. Everyone bought that Saddam had weapons of mass distruction in the beginning, until it became apparent he didn't.

  • @judyleasugar97 Saddam WAS a weapon of mass distruction and a supporter of those who desired to KILL innocent Americans......mother's, fathers, children, babies......

  • @goldsilverandiamonds: They never found weapons of mass destruction. End of story. Bush invaded Iraq FOR OIL.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds wow you must be a really red redneck or a hardcore tea whore. i cannot believe that someone could be so ignorant at such a high level. Saddam killed his own people not ignorant rats like you. And sir please point out the History book or link that states your comment about Saddam having nuke weapons

    ***Boom Frame That***

  • @sider3g I am an American who loves this country and understands THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA IS AGAINST THIS BILL AND DOES NOT TRUST CONGRESS OR OBAMA!!! You a a snot nosed little shit who is to dumb to understand the loss of freedom and choice this bill will create if passed!!! Sadam was a wepon of mass destruction..WAS...hanks to our great and powerful military!! I do not care who he killed...even if he was a killer of weak little puusies like you, you little snot nosed punk!!!!Fuck you commi pig!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds

  • @sider3g I hope this bill takes away any chance of prosperity from you and all who support it. Your a brainwashed idiot who seems unable to think for himself......OUR GOVERNMENT HAS A HISTORY OF BEING UNABLE TO RUN PROGRAMS THE WAY THEY WERE INTENDED.....THEY END UP CREATING MORE PROBLEMS THEN THEY SOLVE! THEY WASTE THE TAXPAYERS MONEY WHO HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CRIME AGAINST ALL AMERICANS!!!!! YOUR GENERATION JUST GOT RAPED THE WORST AND YOUR TO STUPID TO FIGURE IT OUT....

  • @ READ THIS:

    to JDD1581:

    To say that all politicians lie in order to justify the lies of Obama IS NO JUSTIFICATION WHATSOEVER IN THE EYES OF GOD.

    The only way to justify LYING is to repent the sin of lying to Jesus for forgiveness.

    God say in Revelation 21: 8 of the Holy Bible that ALL LIARS WILL GO TO HELL TO AWAIT JUDGMENT TO BE SENTENCED IN THE lake of fire THAT BURNS FOREVER AND EVER!

    AMEN[=TRULY] only IN JESUS

  • The real costs are: (1) 10 years of taxes for 6 years of benefits.

    (2) Cut $460 billion from Medicare.

    (3) Rob $52 billion from SS.

    (4) Rob $72 billion from long-term disability.

    (5) Double count the above as bill cost offsets.

    (6) Transfer $371 billion into another bill called Doc Fix.

    Thus, the true cost is $2.3 trillion for first 10 years, not the democrats advertised $950 billion. This means ballooning the deficit.

  • Citizens, listen closely, Obama talks of a "catastrophic pool". He's referring to a vast pool of reserves that will accumulate out of all the grab-ass gov't fees and new taxes hidden in his healthcare bill, amounting to 100s of billions in new tax loot -- in addition to what you'll be forced to pay for your gov't health plan. This is why these two-bit politicians are so anxious to pass their healtcare bill. More tax loot for them to steal and spend elsewhere, but not on your health care needs.

  • Taxes like what, can you give an example?

  • Like higher medicare tax because the bill will rob from medicare, which is already underfunded. There are 3-5 more examples, but if you even have to ask, then you probably won't have the capacity to understand, in my opinion.

  • Obama canceled spring break trip: Originally scheduled for next week was Obamas Asia trip with his wife and children for one week, a trip he called important for foreign policy. Some House Reps were rumored to be angry at this spring break trip disguised as a foreign policy trip. Today, Obama delayed the trip for 3 days, shortened the number of days, and decided not to take his wife and kids with him. Given his history of parties and trips, some people dont doubt this rumor is true.

  • I don't understand why people are so against this. Some people are so cruel and selfish. I hope this passes it would be a great help to a lot of people who don't make money out the asshole.

  • Why can't OBAMA and our politicians hear the majority of Americnas voices on this issue??? WE DO NOT WANT SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!! BIG WASTEFUL GREEDY GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED AT ALL THE SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT IT HAS CREATED!!! THIS BILL IS NO DIFFERENT!!!!!!! VOTE OUT THE BACK STABBING POLITICIANS WHO VOTE FOR THIS BILL!!!! THE HAVE BETRAYED YOU AND I...THE VOTER... WE MUST.......WE WILL SEND THEM A MESSAGE AT THE POLLS...WE ARE VOTING YOU OUT IF YOU PASS THIS BILL!!!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds you really are ignorant, Obama is trying to help you people by giving everybody the health care they need and stopping the bunch of thief's that are insurance companies. Just how blind can you be??? You like paying through the nose??

    You are the perfect example of american ignorance!

  • @Visionnaireblues You are an insane commuinist who want's to BREAK THE BACK OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS AND ALLTAXPAYER'S FOR YOR YOUR OWN COMMUNIST AGENDA!!!! REAL AMERICAN'S....BLACK , WHITE , BROWN. YELLOW.....DO NOT WANT GREEDY WASTEFULFUL GOVERNMENT TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO!!!!......THIS IS AMERICA....NOT THE FAILED SOVIET UNION!!!!! MOVE YOUR DUMB ASS TO CUBA!!!!!!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds: The only people who will "suffer" under this bill are insurance company execs. Oh, gee, they won't get there hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses, money they get for denying people care! Roll back the Bush tax cuts and the middle class will be just fine.

  • @judyl There is no reason to make anyone suffer, passing of this bill will make all Americans suffer from the constant waste and greed of a Government that no longer listens to it's voter. A government that has been hijacked by people who have forgotten the promise of our founding fathers and all of those who have died to protect it...FREEDOM!!!!! GREEDY MASSIVE WATESFUL GOVERNMENT STEALS THIS PROMISE,THIS DREAM WITH EVERY FREEDOM INFRINGING LAW THAT IS PASSED! IT'S TIME TO VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!

  • @goldsilverandiamonds: You wish. Obama has only contributed 1/8 to the current national debt. That's right, most of it was Bush. The Republican President and Republican congress were the ones spending this country into ruin. And they are in bed with the health insurance companies. For your information 75 percent of the public WANT universal health care.

  • @judy You are a communist CRACK HEAD if you truley belive the LIES you SPEEW!!! You need a check up from the neck up!

  • Can you tell me what it is in the bill you don't like? Which part are you against? Specifically and why?

  • The real costs are: (1) 10 years of taxes for 6 years of benefits.

    Calm down, Gnome. Your voice will be heard better if you speak with reasons and logic, rather than emotionally charged reactions. Learn to respond, not react.

  • Yes, Healthcare reform! Whats in it? Mo Gov Jobs and salaries to pay. If you work at fast food stores, cashiers, bartenders, waitersget out your checkbook and ready to pay. Uncle Obama needs more of your paycheck to pay for his new Gov Staff. If you dont pay you go to jail, simple.

    We all pay for the DMV for life. Now, add Healthcare staff to your bills, for life.

    Hand off my paycheck!!! Enough, Enough

    Thank you for paying our salaries, sign Union.

  • STOP WATCHING FAUX NEWS!!!

    Go read a book, Go finish your GED, anything!! For God sakes, stop deep frying your Twinkies as or-devours for your NASCAR PARTY!!

  • champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

    why won't you get with the fox team.

  • so now they cut off Kidscare, on ACCHCS...wow this sux

  • I will never understand americans. Here Obama is trying to do something that should have been done a long time ago for the good of the country and everybody is bitching for absolutely nothing. Aren't you americans tired of paying through the nose for health care? Your'e being riped off by insurance companies time and time again,a solution is within reach and you don't want it. America must have been taking a leak when they were passing out common sense !! Once again the US shows its ignorance!!

  • people need to have patience.Obama was not able to get an explicit public option into the bill but he has designed the bill such that within 10 years the government will be in control of the health care system.Socialized medicine is within our reach with the stroke of a pen.

  • Yes, health care for everyone.

    Yes, more salaries for gov staff.

    If you can afford to pay the DMV staff, you can afford to pay us, Department of Health Services (DHS). If you dont pay the DMV you dont drive. If you dont pay the DHS you go to jail. Ask yourselves, do you have the freedom to say no to the DMV?

  • Yeh, health care for everyone. Yeh, more salaries for us Unions. If you can afford to pay the DMV staff, you can afford to pay us, Department of Health Services(DHS)

  • yes he really is this stupid,out of his league way over his head,this guy doesn't have a clue.Americans as a whole will not buy this bag of crap .government controlled health care is as big a scam as gore's global warming farse

  • Comment removed

  • Don't waste your time arguing with this Asiablue idiot. If you look a couple of days back, I brought up valid points and all he did was start calling me names like a typical, indulged, white, comfortable liberal does, Trust me mate, not worth your time

  • Here is what Obama isn't telling you:

    The 2,407 page Senate Obamacare bill (which he wants the House to pass)

    also forces federal taxpayer funding of abortion-on-demand. It requires all enrolled in the Obamacare plan to pay into an abortion fund...regardless of their moral convictions on abortion.

    This is an imposition on the conscience of millions of Americans. They don't want Obama's "pro-choice" bill to "impose" its pro-abortion rights "morality" on them and their tax dollars.

  • db1534 what is socialist agenda? do you consider providing health care insurance with millions of uninsure americans a socialism, do you consider countries who have goverment run health care like canada, uk, demark, sweden, netherland, and many other european countries are practicing socialism?

  • @BurhanJamac

    Here's something I've learned from talking to these idiots. In their minds affordable health care for everyone = Soviet Russia, elitist = educated person, and big government = government run by a black man instead of some bloodthirsty neocon working for corporations instead of the people

  • President Obama all the way, he's smart and streight, he's a excellent leader

  • Hmmmmz what this guys are saying is who cares our fellow citizen, brothers and sisters they don't have money so they should not get health care, if they get sick they should not get any help cuz they are poor they are not selfish they are middle class or rich. So you get millions who are poor who can't afford insurance and millions who can, the funy thing is those who can afford when they get sick the insurance companies deny them, what goes around comes around.

  • OBAMAS train has run out of fuel, AND HE AND EMANUAL ARE TO FUCKING STUPID TO SEE IT,;;

    OBAMA AMERICA DOES NOT WANT YOUR SOCIALISM!!!SO SHOVE IT RIGHT UP YOUR LITTLE FAG ASS

  • Typical Ignorant and selfish amarican!

  • Stop this madness now. Call 1-202-224-3121

  • Now as Obama try's to round up votes he is handing out bribes as quickly as possible. This is what he promissed not to do! Obama lies!

  • I'm just curious on why is Obama is just going to collages and high schools to sell his health care scam,its like he's preying on the less knowledged Americans or the undecided Americans.He's going to where he knows there wont hardly be any opposition

    Why doesnt he sell his shit at job sites, at rally's,or anywhere where adult working Americans can have their Q&A's , so he can really say he went out to ask the public what they want.

    Maybe its me but this seems like a cowardly move on his part.

  • Why are you americans against health care? We have it in Denmark and everybody is covered. And basicly it does more good then bad. It helps your fellow man. It saves lives. So I cant see the harm in it. Americans are just selfish!

  • Hello Hmmmmzzz,

    Excellent question. I understand that most, even opponents of President Obama do support health care for all Americans. The problem is so much energy is being spent upon Health Care which would insure 30 million currently uninsured Americans, Unemployment alone is higher than 30 million, and when you consider the under employed the numbers are impressive. Obama has his priorities twisted, employment will allow the US to pay for health care, so this is the first reason. Part 1

  • Hello Hmmmmzzz again,

    Part 2 - Health Care for all is important, but the health system needs to be fixed, not just partially, there are many contributors, beyond the insurance Co's who contributed to politicians. fixing prior to my support is necessary. It is so difficult to earn money so easy to spend it and I do not like giving my hard earned money to a vacuum which is dysfunctional. Another problem is that our president desires passage no matter the cost, Very sad, Regards MrD =)

  • Okay, let us use your scenario. He gives up on healt care and persues job employment and follows through on it. But what happens to the 30 mill. without insurance? Whats happens to a family when their child gets sick?

    It's not that hard to secure a nations health. Just raise your taxes!

    In Denmark, due to taxes, we have free health care, free education and we even get payed to go to school.

    The one thing I still cant understand is, why havent anyone taken the initiative before Obama?

  • Hmmmmzzz

    The answer to your question why hasn't anyone taken this initiative before Obama on Health Care...Clinton tried and failed because wealth redistribution is unconstitutional.

    Entitlements are not granted to We the People in the American Constitution. However, We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and endowed by the creator with certain unalienable rights, among them are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Individual happiness may differ.

  • @plum26754: It's not a question of wealth redistribution. The medical insurance system is going to ruin the American economy if something isn't done. Who cares if THEY don't make as much money??? I never thought I'd see the day people would be defending insurance companies! Get some perspective.

  • judyleassugar97

    The Creator grants Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, not the Government.

    The Constitution does not grant entitlements.

    34 States have Bills putting a Ban on the Mandatory Purchase of Health Ins. for Citizens in their states. Virginia's Bill has become Law. The other will follow. The 10th Amendment, try reading it. In fact the entire Constitution is only about 18 pages...compared to the 2700 page health care bill which no one can even look at.

    Sounds fishy to me.

  • @plum26754: I say pursuit of happiness is having a government option. This has nothing to do with religion by the way. Maybe the bill has a lot of pages because they want to get it right. Look, Obama is trying to save the middle class which is eroding as we speak. Good luck siding with the blood sucking insurance companies.

  • @Hmmmmzzz: They would only raise taxes a few percent -- the 2 percent wealthiest in this country could contribute more!

  • Hello Hmmmmzzz,

    Another excellent question, thank you. In the USA no one is turned away from emergency care, especially children. Health care is an important issue, but without people working you have no tax revenue. Priorities are 1) Economy 2) Fix the massive problem with Health care, 3) Then figure out what the best style to address health needs. Putting money into the existing system is like putting a boat into water when it has a massive hole on the bottom. Regards MrD =)

  • WOW, This guys socialist agenda keeps geting bigger and bigger

  • Comment removed

  • Universal Health Care is big scam!!! The fact that Obama wants it so bad should be proof enough that our government is evil. Funny, how the government has to fight us to take care of us?!

  • This whole thing is just liberals looking for more handouts. Listen up liberals. WE CANT AFFORD ANY MORE HANDOUTS. LEARN TO RELY ON YOURSELF FOR ONCE.

  • For all of you who haven't taken the time ~ 2 days, to read the Senate's Health Care bill, Please, take the time. This bill is a horrible mess. It would take more time to fix the errors than it would take to rewirte a smaller --- A lot smaller bill.

    No wonder mr oblama wanted to rush this through congress. Damn, it gives far, far, far too much government control over all of our lives.

  • MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN HAVE INSURANCE, but outrageous premium, deny surgical, drug treatment based on arbitrary profit driven criteria is IMMORAL. Tumor 0.1 inch over limits no treatment for you. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS are still one accident, one serious illness, or one chronic disease away from declaring Bankruptcy. Only if you are lucky enough to receive treatments & live long enough to file one. System is broken and failed MIDDLE CLASS that is why there is an outcry for reform.

  • but soon, insurance companies will find a way to profit from your corpse. it will probably be some scam on the surviving family members.

    i know they make a killing on cancer and do a jig everytime one of their members is diagnosed with it.

  • what race obsessed americans aka neo-anarchists want is oil and insurance industry rule at their expense.

    these are the sort of people who can't grasp what we learn in the 5th grade - branches of government like the senate who have the power to do whatever insurance industry lobbyists pay them to pass or to sabotage - at the tax-payers.

    backward simpletons who think the president is a king that waves a magic wand and that there are no branches that ultimately decide policy.

  • Americans do not want a 2000 plus page Obamacare (socialist-leaning) health care bill.

    Obama shouldn't try to shove the bill down the American people's throats. But some of us do have a suggestion as to where he can shove it.

  • @kweer58 Speak for yourself you bitch

  • AMA and ANA (DOCTORS & NURSES) support the Bill.

    4Profit Insurance companies are against the Bill.

    Why would Doctors support a Bill that taxes them, over $200,000? They have seen enough abuse by the Insurance Companies against their patients: deny treatments, changing drug formulary, drop coverage, preexisting condition exclusion, & Medicare drug GAP for Senior. Dont ever get sick or in an accident, you will be screwed by Insurance.

    I will go with AMA on Health Care Reform.

  • @itsnotaduck - Ok Cammando. Whoever rattled your chain? Go back to the street or the border, wherever that is, just go and let people who care about making the world a more civil and forgiving place do their work.

    The truth is more dangerous than a gun.

  • @noformstyle - Its obvious you mean well, but this bunch is a waste of your good efforts.

    This Health Bill will pass, and we know it. ANYTHING progressive, or I should say from this administration will be opposed by this dicks. Relax. Its fun to watch while the leg gets lifted on them for a change.

  • "We used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse", says Sarah Palin. "I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing, and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."

  • NO DEATH PANEL. A living Will is living Will. You can write whatever you want, hospital will follow your Will, or get their A.S.S SUED.

    SAVES MONEY FOR USA, according to CBO Directors, it will save America $ 1 Trillion, if medical cost is not dealt with, America as a nation will go bankrupt within next few decades. Tax only on people who makes $200,000 or more. Middle Class wont be taxed.

  • $200,000 is a small business, if you tax them more whatever service they have or sell will also increase, hence EVERYONE gets taxed !

  • PREMIUM & FEE WILL BE LESS that is why Insurance Industries are opposed to the bill. There will be no more outrageous profit and rising premium based on greed. Despite the America is in recession, they still rake in billions of dollars that could have gone to treatments. Finally, Insurance companies will be regulated like utility companies. No more rip off.

  • REPUBLICAN DOESNT WANT ANY REFORM, Bush had both houses, and they could have reformed it the way Republican wanted. On October 26th 2002, as a direct consequence of Senator Paul Wellstone's death, Bush has control of both Houses of Congress.

  • YOU GOT 20 ALIAS, LOL, IT IS SO OBVIOUS!

  • ODUMBO you remind me of a used car salesman... WE DON"T WANT THE DAM BILL YOUR SELLING !!!!!! HELL NO !!!!

  • LOL, There is no Single Payer and no Socialism. There is only Exchange Option in the Bill, the idea proposed by Republican and adopted by Obama. All the Insurance within Exchange Option are PRIVATE. Just like your favorite Senator and Congressmen get. Stop the Lie.

  • GOD BLESS OBAMA & AMERICA!

    Go get them, get rid of this Unregulated Greedy B.A.S.T.A.R.D, who would rather see American die, just for making a buck. Tax on income $200,000 or more actually reverse the $ 2 Trillion Tax Breaks given to the rich during Bush Era, which was passed under simple majority vote. No Government takeover because no single payer in this bill. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN WINS no new tax, affordable, secure, and comprehensive coverage!

  • MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN HAVE INSURANCE, but outrageous premium, deny surgical, drug treatment based on arbitrary profit driven criteria is IMMORAL. Tumor 0.1 inch over limits no treatment for you. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS are still one accident, one serious illness, or one chronic disease away from declaring Bankruptcy. Only if you are lucky enough to receive treatments & live long enough to file one. System is broken and failed MIDDLE CLASS that is why there is an outcry for reform.

  • Why would Americans want a healthcare bill written by the insurance companies???

    Why would Americans then want it to be ran by the Government?

    There is NOT ONE GOVERNMENT entity that has any success!!! And with those odds I say get your Government Over Reaching Hands Off my Health Care !!!!!! 2700 pages of Healthcare Cuts in place now !!! ODUMBO get out of my whitehouse you do not belong there !!

  • Dr.'s are not for this bill. Dr.s would loose the ability to charge more for specialized procedures. I love my insurance, its only $100 a month and has covered everything for me.

    America is on the verge of bankruptcy, dumbass. This is another entitlement that American taxpayers cannot afford.

  • you dumb ass, obama

  • Democrat Congressman Massa will be on Glenn Beck 3-09-10 to expose the administration and Obamacare. Dem's are turning on the extreme leftist democrats. The War is on. They are done and out in Nov 2010.

    Type this in watch?v=RKwNDYDnu2w and also watch the NEWS. Obama and friends are history! Sat Cong!

  • @GodKillerAtheist

    The costs r getting so high... many of the wealthiest people fly out ot other countries to save money on medical care. A word for these americans who travel outside america to get reasonably priced medical care.. called "Medical Tourism". yeah more of our money funding airline industry, hotels and other businesses in other countries instead of being able to get low cost quality care in USA

  • This is a useless string. What, your all Glenn Beck's kids? Sounds like your about 12.

    The Right has no answers, just rhetoric. Give everyone a break and go rope some goats.

  • I'm a former protestor and field fighter on street corners and armed on the border so I could stay alive. Beck is seeing what I was experiencing in the field out of the mouths of neo-communists, anarchists and other anti-americans mostly Socialists. It is what it is. Glen Beck is the new point of the spear neither left nor right but pretty right on with what is really happening in the halls of congress, the back streets and main street, not to mention foreign affairs.

  • MARXISM = death toll which totals 94 million

    But we should try it one more time. never mind socialism has never worked Ever, in the history of mankind. Oh unless your the dictator, then its kinda cool. I'm going to put in a job application for KING.

  • Hey, I feel like Beck, lol, damn Neo-communists. Democrat Congressman Massa will be on Glenn Beck 3-09-10 to expose the administration and Obamacare. Dem's are turning on the extreme leftist democrates. The War is on. They are done and out in Nov 2010.

  • Ya but this legislation once enacted will be like cancer, it will always be there waiting to kill us.

  • The main argument of the far right republican party against the health care reform now is that now its not the time, that we must wait because the economy is what Americans are worried about the most,. haha, what a bunch of bull, the only better time for health care reform other than now, is yesterday, and what Americans are most worried about today is cancer, heart disease and diabetes

  • Some cant see the socialism through the tree's. I see it clearly, America is done with collectivism. No more felling bad for louts and migrants. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with being taken advantage of by progressive's, who use our good will to take power that doesn't belong to them. Its taken through nefarious means. Always in through the back door, using lie's and chicanery. NO MORE.

  • The Government needs to get out of my life. I dont need them, or want them. Taxing me for entitlement programs, so those who choose not to work can live on my dime. Bailing out big business whose collapse was caused by government incompetence (Fannie & Freddy). Any one who votes for this Attack on America should be held for Treason. Most Americans see it this way, if you listen you may be able to hear them.

  • Comment removed

  • the mistake emanual and obama are making here, as if they have not made enough already, is they actually believe that the AMERICAN PEOPLE are going to forget about this by november, wow, maybe in the years of JIMMY CARTER, but now in the age of RUSH and Fox news,,,,NO FUCKING WAY, OBAMA IS WILLING TO DESTROY HIS OWN PARTY TO PUSH HIS FAR LEFT AGENDA THAT ONLY 20% MOSTLY BLACKS AGREE WITH, in Nov- you will see an ass whipping like never before, JUST U WAIT AND SEE

  • wow, this is socialism at its best, try to turn the public against corporations, and to the government, the government is the reason why healthcare is so fucked up now in this nation, this idiot does not give a damn about your health care, and this is not about healthcare, its about a huge power grab by the gov. to which they have DECADES of failure in health social programs, obama and emanual are socialist at the highest grade and they are both a CANCER on this nation,

  • Obama: The President of NO no reduction in taxes no abatement of the strangling regulations for businesses no pride in his own country no advocate of the free market no transparency no champion of freedom no understanding of capitalism no concern over massive deficit spending no support for property rights no respect for the Constitution

  • @noformstyle

    Many in upper middle class to upper class now travel outside of the USA for lower priced high quality medical care. A term has evolved for this called "Medical Tourism" They get cheaper care in other countries while at the same time can enjoy a vacation... I think their insurance actually pays for the trip as well. the lowere middle class and lower income level people stuck in USA with paying out of pocket and going bankrupt.. ending up caught in disabled and gov subsidised class

  • I know, they go to Singapore. I heard Taiwan want to get in the business and make money off us.

  • either way obama will be out come 2012
