President Barack Obama @ Health Summit 3/5/09

President Barack Obama's closing remarks at the summit held today (3/5/09) at the White House on the subject of health care. This is just his closing remarks, not the Q&A that followed.

I believe this is such an important issue in this country. Many people I've spoken with recently believe that this issue should wait because the economy is so bad. I believe just the opposite. With more and more people out of work, taking pay cuts, etc., this issue couldn't be more vital now.

Hopefully after today whether or not the Health Deform Bill passes, it will be the final nail in the coffin so to speak of Oduma and the rest of the Democratic Party..Oduma knows he will only be a 1 term terrorist. Even his cousin is against him. Obama should be impeached and there is already a move to start to have him removed from office. A recall procedure that is in the Constitution. I hope it works and i am all for it.

Obama got his ass handed to him today at the Heath care summit. He didnt even know what was in the bill or how it worked. All it really is is a grab for power and money for his socialist redistribution bullshit. The American people dont want his government increasing bill and this was pointed out by Paul Ryan (R). So why does he still want to RAM it through? He doesnt care about Americans and proved it by ignoring the voice of the people. His agenda is DARK and DEEP and he needs to be stopped.

The Fair Debt and Collection Practices Act

A collector may put a lien on your home in the event you should sell it. As long as you are the home's owner, the collector may not depossess you of your home.

They also cannot threaten to do so.

What laws protect home ownership when it comes to paying medical cost? I had to deal with over $30k in bills and I really am curious at what laws you are talking about?

Your are long on politics and short on real information. Law protects home ownership when it comes to paying medical costs.

There are no economists pointing to health care as athe reason for this economic crisis. Of the trillion dollar stimulus bill, 5% is going to roads and bridges and those projects will not begin for two years.

One of the tenets of health care costs is that one's home is sacred. When it comes to paying for health care in extraordinary circumstances or nursing home care home ownership is never at risk. It cannot be confiscated to pay medical bills and can't confiscate the mortgage payment.

The U.S. economy is tanking and Obama convenes a summit on health care. We are trillions of dollars in debt to the Chinese and Obama is talking about health care.

It's the economy stupid.

The government will now take control of your health.
