Dingell: It will take some time for ObamaCare to "control the people"

From WJR's Paul W. Smith show, a Freudian slip from Rep. John Dingell. Smith asked why we're waiting for 2014 to cover people, and Dingell said this in his defense:

"Let me remind you this [Americans allegedly dying because of lack of universal health care] has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people."

Because controlling the people is what it's all about.

This man needs to be removed from office immediately, unless you wish your family care and life span and how you will be treated to be controlled by our Government..and that began January 1, 2013 with rationing..Undo the knot of Obamacare before it is too late...the People need to have say in what happens in comparison to someone arbitrary actions sided to suit the non public directorates.

It began before obamacare, before 2013, they already stared implementing it several years before, look the words FUTILITY LAW, and FUTILITY ORDER, its called different things, in different states, its NOT ABOUT THE DYING OR EVEN OLD, it means a doctor can deny you care at any time, AND NOT EVEN TELL YOU JUST DO IT.

The Republicans didn't resist BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE IN ON IT. Everyone will be mandated to but insurance from large CORPORATIONS, c'mon folks this is an easy one.

You again? LOL I am not even going to try and reply anymore after this post because you are so obsessed with me it's sad. You are upset because I could track you down and find you shuddering in a corner of some shack in Vancouver. Your life must suck so much living in your mothers basement wringing your hands over how you can troll posts online. I bid you farewell and perhaps someday you will be as successful as this proud American is with his rental business!

The average temperature of the earth has already increased 1 degree Celsius, around 2 degrees Fahrenheit. The rate of temperature increase is not a line, it increases exponentially. That 1 degree means much more around the poles, and especially in summer, which means more ice melting. And if you look at how the CO2 levels in the atmosphere have increased since the industrial revolution, there is no logical conclusion other that that it is man-made. But then logic scares you, doesn't it?

The government's job is to protect its citizens, whether it is from a foreign enemy or a disease. And if your private organizations and charity theory would work, why would there be so many people who don't have access to healthcare? There's a hell of a lot of charities, but they are inefficient.

Our healthcare system is absolutely not the best in the world. You probably think that we also have the highest literacy rate, average life span, lowest infant mortality rate,etc. You are completely oblivious to the world outside of the bubble that you live in, and have no evidence to support your beliefs.

I don't know how all you right wing fucktards don't understand that fascism and communism aren't synonyms and are mutually exclusive. One of the reasons Hitler invaded Russia, besides the fact that he though Slavs were inferior, was that he hated communism. Fascism and Nazism are extreme right, not left

There are plenty of examples of price controls working, such as limits on how much interest on mortgages there was during the great depression. Socializing healthcare would abolish insurance companies and make it state run. Obamacare does nothing of the sort. You assertions have no basis in reality. How will providing healthcare for millions make it worse for them? And unlike you hypocritically claim I am, I do not just repeat what I hear on TV.
