I'm Not a Doctor, But I Play One on TV

"Like the old joke goes, President Obama isn't a doctor, but he plays one on TV -- giving Americans a discomforting glimpse of life under ObamaCare, with government leaders and bureaucrats dispensing medical opinions that are better left to doctors, medical professionals, and patients," said House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH). "This is a lighthearted video, but it underscores a serious point that Congressional Democrats are going to hear throughout August as they travel outside of Washington: Americans want lower health care costs not a trillion-dollar government takeover of health care that increases costs and lets Washington bureaucrats make decisions that should be made by doctors and patients."

The House GOP Health Care Solutions Group has crafted a health care reform plan that will address rising health care costs and expand health care access and quality at a price our country can afford. To read about this better solution, go to http://blunt.house.gov/Read.aspx?ID=1140 . President Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) should scrap their plan for a government-run health care system and start over, and work with Republicans for real health care reforms that will make a positive difference for all Americans.

@zchris87v people, would pay for healthcare if people can afford it. I paid for my healthcare in the UK through my taxes and guess what it was affordable because I didn't notice the money disappearing in my pay packet AND there was less of a profit margin. America, despite spending more on healthcare per capita than any developed country some of the worst health statistics in the world. I am not asking for govt. to fund things like laser eye surgery but basic healthcare that saves lives.

@DOHC2L I don't hate. Hate is a waste of time and energy. I'm also a pretty cheerful person,despite what you may assume from my comments.I don't concider myself a liberal either, although I agree with that way of thinking more often than the "Right's" way of thinking. I find it ironic that you would suggest any stereotyping embedded into my ideology,being that this is exactly what your doing in describing me.It's naive to think polticians(mostly repubs) aren't owned. Just research it :)

@plopnod "Repubs... are owned by industry,and corporations who are partly responsable for it."

This stereotype is so far embedded into your ideology it causes you to hate conservativsim and conservatives in particular. You lack knowledge of what you believe, that's what's pathetic about leftists like you... you are naive and full of contempt by way of your indoctrination. Cheer up and quit hating so much.

@peacad "America, despite spending more on healthcare per capita than any developed country some of the worst health statistics in the world."

That's a lie.

@plopnod-Global warming is a fact????? Didn't you get the memo? You KookAid drinking idiot. It's a HOAX!!! Does someone have to slap you up side the head for you to understand? It's a RELIGION, not a FACT. This was data manipulation by the far left environmental extremists to try and get control of every aspect of our lives. Wise up you 'useful idiot'. You're a tool!

@itsjustme2919 Global warming is a fact!Repubs like to make it out to be a hoax ,because they are owned by industry,and corporations who are partly responsable for it.For anybody who thinks that global warming is a scam,they had better wake up and smell the radiation.I realize that it's not illegal for repubs to get campaign funding from special interest groups,such as the tobaco companies.I've never said otherwise.I'm just saying it's disgusting.
