Hey Joe! The REAL Reason?

Hey Joe, why do you really oppose the public option for health care?

You SAID it's because 'there's plenty of competition in the private insurance market."

But that's not true at all

Single Payer is the only answer. The medical insurance industry will use their huge resources to make services not available through the public option. These industries are trading lives for profit. It is criminal it must stop.

sigh. News flash. My family pays almost 1100 a month for insurance. We pay that bill every month because it's the proper thing to do when you have kids. My premiums have gone through the roof because OTHER people don't pay, and nobody out there cares to enforce.

It is an option-- for those who want it. GFY

uhm.. that's not the president. 2nd this dude also was paid by special interest to agitate a war with Iraq?! Why? Because Israel was screaming "Dude! Saddam gonna shoot at uuus!" which we find out didn't have shit to do with WMD's, which by the way, I friend-once-be saddam who had chemical weapons we supplied to to fight againt Iran for the Iran/IRAQ war.... hmmmm curruption. It exists on both sides.. but to put a good boy crown on this guy, and not on the lot of them is bullshit!

Maybe Joe opposed the public option because Americans do not want it?

Zogby poll (July 16, 2009).

"An expanded role for government in health care is opposed by 48 percent of Americans, while 44 percent support it. Forty-six percent of respondents agreed that a public plan is needed to "keep insurance companies honest."

this is the most crooked President in history.

and you are shocked? You shouldn't be. This is what happens when people become lazy. They vote themselves a "welfare" government and get checks for nothing. But it's all been planned-the greatest thing the devil ever did was convince people he does not exist-no conspiracy in this country right? Of course not, things like that "only" happen in "crooked" countries like Mexico, Iran, Russia, etc...
