White House Press Secretary on Health Care Deliberations

[brandonrourk]

If this new program is better, then all of congress and the government should be in it. But they are not, so how good can it be. Is clear since they are not switching is not better. what ever the congress and senate pass thats the same coverage they get period nothing more nothing less. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

[RonaldeRobinson]

They just want to force this on us...the Obama crowd isn't interest in give-and-take. Little wonder people are upset.

[hb2998]

The problem is that change in the healthcare system is obviously, painfully required. A give-and-take strategy does not work as what that usually leads to is the protection of big business interests while the little guy loses, again. They do give, they just gave up on the best part of the bill, the provision for a choice to have end of life discussion with a physician. If you want give and take, please offer some suggestions, I really haven't heard anything but a big fat NO, and fear mongering.

[RonaldeRobinson]

That's right. I want my doctor involved with my health care, not my Congressman. If the government controls everything our liberties are gone. Even if you trust Obama, would you trust Nixon? Clinton? Bush? Why doesn't the WH ever say Americans who can afford health insurance have a duty to buy it? Or we can't have open borders and expect we can take care of every sick person who comes here? Notice he stays as far away from VA hospitals and any talk about the success of medicare or medicaid!

[mrdewolf2]

One thing everyone needs to remember is Obama is a politician. He is not better or worse then other politicians.

[tommee10533]

Obama down right lied, about taxing the middle class, trying to pass the cap n tax bill,which most sane experts are saying will tax the hell out of everyonenow he's trying to take my PRIVATELY ran health insurance away from me.which if you anyone who READ the healthcare bill would know.He had spent about a billion dollars an hour since that so called stemuleous bill had passed I dont see nothing coming out of that ,WHAT A JOKE!!!

[julian7650]

oBAMA, VETO ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PUBLIC OPTION! AT LEAST.

[ezersdad]

God Bless Pesident Obama and his lovely wife Michelle and their two beautiful daughters.Please guide and direct him as he attempts to repair our ransacked country raped by the cheney/bush regime.

[Smartassawhip]

Obama if you can read this.. please make a mental note that not all of us have climbed aboard the crazy train. Keep up the good work and thanks for investing in us for a change.

[cjfilmproductions]

read my lips no new taxes bush one

we are not a country of nation builders there are weapons of mass destruction and al qaeda in iraq we do not torture come on the list of republican lies goes on and on why is it that we have not had one national terror watch since bush won in 04 do you think he kept us safe? safe from any more of his bullshit maybe. i wonder if conservatives realise what big hypocrites they are?

[dkkght46]

First it was somkers now its They want to impose an excise or sales tax on fattening foods. This will lower consumption of those foods, generate revenues used to extend health insurance coverage to the uninsured and under-insured, and fund campaigns making healthy foods more widely available to, say, low-income Americans and to encourage exercise and healthy eating habits.

[cjfilmproductions]

this makes a lot of sense the republicans must hate this plan they hate anything that makes sense universal healthcare, gay rights, legalized drugs all of these things make perfect sense and all the facts show that they do but the conservatives hate them because they are told to.

[dkkght46]

What about some who considers themselves just an American and who disagrees, does that make them a hater?

[urbanprophet777]

[salebowwow]

[Intervene]

[quizerry]

LOL I guess he is comfortable with NO transparency because that is what we have gotten thus far.

[Smartassawhip]

You are delusional.. we may not know everything that goes on behind closed doors.. but we sure as hell know a lot more than we ever have before.

[JesuszillaCorp]

His job seems to be" I know thats what he said but after he had time to think about it this he was he meant to say"...transparency by shoving bills as fast as possible without reading or interpreting them b4 the public knows how bad they really are.

[Thedude112123]

[drmondman1]

Economy comes from Community.

[Thedude112123]

[almamatters2471]

that is what his job is, to tell the mediocre press what his boss says...

[SupportingMyself]

Gibbs doesn't know anything of what he says. He does what his masters say.

[FUCKYOURGODINTHEASS]
