Rep. Weiner: My Republican friends don't want you to have what they have

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY): I have a viewers guide for whats be going on on this side of the aisle this morning and this afternoon. What essentially it comes down to it is my Republican friends don't want you, the American people, to have what they have. They say they dont want any government-run health care, but 55 of them have Medicare--you don't see them sending that back. They say while they don't want the plan that we have to create more choices for the American people, well, they don't want you to have what they have. Go to the website for the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan and see what a great plan they have. But they don't want you to have more choice. Frankly, I don't know what it is they do want. They said 131 days ago they were gonna have a plan. You hear that sound? [silence] That's the sound of their plan. They don't seem to have one. And I've heard this talk about all the stuff going on behind closed doors. My friends, there are 5 committees, 5 bills -- you can read them. I know its a lot of words but you can see exactly what the plan is. Listen to the American people, give them what you in Congress have. A public option, like Medicare, and choices, like the insurance plan you have.

@Vanoffy What is your problem? Relax. That guy has been fighting to get you the same medical options as your cadre's in Congress, he didn't say left/right. What he said was the Republicans don't want you to have what they have, and it's true. It's not lying.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story Weiner......are you going to get Obamacare or are you, like your Republican/Democrat friends, going to keep your gold plated congressional healthcare plan? Typical left/right paradigm nonsense....there is no difference between the parties it is a charade.

What a despicable character......his problems couldn't have happened to a better person. Burn in hell you class warfaring big government lying scumbag.
