obamacare For Thee, But Not For Me

So tell me; "What has the government been able to manage that has been and continues to be a success?"


"I always want the BEST care." But not for you little people.

President Obama struggled to explain today whether his health care reform proposals would force normal Americans to make sacrifices that wealthier, more powerful people — like the president himself — wouldnt face.
The probing questions came from two skeptical neurologists during ABC News special on health care reform, Questions for the President: Prescription for America, anchored from the White House by Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson.
Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if its not provided by insurance.
Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldnt seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan hes proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.
The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if its my family member, if its my wife, if its my children, if its my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.["]

If you don't like the government health plan then buy a private plan. It's not that difficult to understand. The government plan would give people a choice between public and private plans, and give people who have been denied insurance a chance to get it. Do you understand, or should I explain it slower and in more detail?

@andotech - You know what my plan was? No Plan at all. I pay my doctor cash money. But with the new obamacare plan, I pay more to lazy people and according to the new law, if I don't select a "plan" that they approve, then I will be fined.

Tell me, is that what's in the Promised Land's Constitution? That I have to pay a 2,000$ fine for not carrying their "plan".

The only difference between Obamacare and Hitler's Final Solution is that Hitler's senior citizens had to be forced into the gas chambers. Ours are going willingly at the urging of AARP.

TAKE TWO ASPIRIN AND CALL ME WHEN YOUR CANCER IS STAGE 4

All the problems with the American health care system come from government intervention, so naturally the Democrats' idea for fixing it is more government intervention. ...

Now the Democrats want to force us all into one gigantic national health insurance plan that will cover every real and mythical ailment that has a powerful lobby.

Even two decades after the collapse of liberals' beloved Soviet Union, they can't grasp...

The fuck-head didn't answer the question.

You are upset that staunch conservative didn't win. Actually during Obama's presidency I have made more money and have gotten bills paid off. I want you to keep defending the next conservative president we have when times are bad. Now, don't get upset when people degrade your conservative president, calling him a failure, racist, un-American. Don't you get upset. The shoe will someday be on the other foot.

@andotech MAYBE SOME ONE SHOULD EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT IF WE DONT BUY INTO THE FORCED CRAP PLAN THAT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH OR OBAMA, YOU PAY FINES MONTHLY FINES , SINCE ITS CONSIDERED A TAX IF YOU DONT PAY YOUR TAX YOU GO TO JAIL, TRY PAYING FINES AND PRIVATE INSURANCE .. ITS ABOUT CONTROL NOT CARE HITLER CAN EXPLAIN IT BETTER

It's always the wrong question. Why does a universal plan that covers all citizens have to be characterized as "lesser quality" than medical services provided by for-profit businesses?

You're saying it's not possible to have tax-funded medical care of equal or greater quality than privatized care? Why not?

But the good doctor here very cleverly uses a life-or-death scenario that would have impelled ANY ONE OF US to seek a specialist; not the typical lower-risk needs of 99.7% of the rest of us.

[achilles6822]

@andotech its not a choice if its run on taxpayer money, and people get forced to choose between the 2... so ya its not as simple as jsut choosing private care.

did this idiot answer the question ??? whoever claimed that this guy was genius really needs to get their head examined. He makes Bush look like Einstein

[777cowgirl]

I stated my facts from gallop. You need to do some updating. You don't know what you are taking about. The health care bill leaves Congress & Our Idiot President completly exempt. CHECK THE FACTS!!!! You can sure tell your a liberal, and what's the goverment to do everthing for you, because your not able to do things yourself. I'm done with you!!
