GOP Response: Doctors, Not Cost in Health Care Debate

Senate candidate Carly Fiorina says a concern in the health care debate is that medical decisions aren't made by panels like the one that recently weakened recommendations on mammograms. Fiorina uses the weekly Republican address to say that the mammogram panel focused on cost. (Dec. 5)

First you earned my sympathy because of your encounter with cancer as I have...

Then you are trying to exploit my sympathy in order to push the republican agenda on me.

But I will ask.

1) Why did you not advance health care reform when your party was in control of congress and white house?

2) Why Are you not in support of the "public option" ?

3) How many of the women that die every year will die because they do not have the type of insurance you have if any?

Go Carly! Beat the thoughtless, partisan, mindless Boxer!

The persons whos life is on the line will do what ever they can. The people making money from that person living on to pay the bill will do what ever they can. The beurocrocy paying to keep some one alive who is no benifit to them will not spend a dime or approve a test they can deny, they will keep all the money and power they can get. It has always and will always be that way.

Absent-minded Americans(as they are known world-wide) dont understand that competition will really bring the health-care costs down. & make the services available to all the citizens. Without someone waiting for the last symptom to even visit a doctor.

Somebody, a generation has to take the risk & lead the Change. Remember, the first heart transplant patient, his family; first anesthesia treatment, etc...Americans need to understand the numbers involved here.

Notice how exaggerated her expressions and movements are.

I know actors when I see them.

Sometimes you have cancer and you can't afford insurance. Sometimes you have cancer and you're 7 months short of medicare. And sometimes....sometimes you're the son of someone in this situation and all you can id is try to make them comfortable as they slowly die.

Doctors aren't the ones that dictate insurance coverage. Its actually the insurance companies that dictate who our doctors are.

You, ma'am, are a hypocrite and have one of the most fake smiles I've ever seen.

Liar!!!

She is filthy rich she can afford whatever test she can make

[avi919191]

Biggest fucking hypocrite a. She says that these beurocrats only careabout money yet every single argument against the public option on the right has been because it'll cost too much not to mention she has enough money to pay for those private insurers that charge a shit load while millions of Americans don't

[dabatjelly]

fuck yo state, n****a!

[cagedtigersteve]

She has money, some people don't. Some people who die, die because they cannot afford to get cancer or even a mammogram so they ignore the lump.
