Rep. Debbie Schultz: Republicans "Politicizing Breast Cancer"!

A roundtable discussion on "This Week" with Senators Ben Nelson and Tom Coburn, and Reps. Marsha Blackburn and Debbie Wasserman Schultz following the vote to start debate on the Senate floor on health care reform. In this clip, Coburn and Schultz square off on health reform, then the group discusses the new mammogram guidelines. Breast cancer survivor Schultz says to Blackburn: "The Republicans, for the first time, have politicized breast cancer."

Also, at the eight-minute mark, Coburn denied an accusation by Doug Hampton, husband of the Sen. John Ensign's onetime lover, that Coburn negotiated a pay-off for Hampton.

I am willing to personally examine every women's breast for free in the US to solve this issue. I'm just trying to do my part and build a better country.

Three to one? Is this what's considered fair and balanced these days?

@Chslosers Thank you for your visit!

[Chslosers]

Highly doubtful by reading your recent comments made.. also by reading your channel comments left by others it seems as if you play the lefty righty immaturity game..

[callouschristian]

@Chslosers How do you know that I don't?

[Chslosers]

this was a week after having the 3 democrats to 1 republican .. it was just GOPs week to discuss. How come you don't ask for this type of balance on olbermann?

The only person politicizing breast cancer was Debbie Shultz, who politicized her breast cancer in the discussion.

How can she say it's not going to be in the bill when she just READ IT FROM THE BILL?

Insurance is a bet that you are not going to get sick. They are betting you won't get sick , you are betting you won't either but you have insurance in case you do. Why should an insurance company take a bet out against somebody who already has diabetes? Explain to me a legit reason for covering pre existing?

go marsha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is my next door neighbor in brentrwood. fuck the demorats

[herbs814]

We have to get rid of the arrogant leftists who claim that they have a right to get rid of companies making profits. Listen to the way this Dem from California badmouths profits. She is evil. She is a heartless thug that is desperately seeking to justify the use of government force against innocent insurance companies.
