Olbermann Defeathers Chicken Sue

Keith Olbermann doesn't let Chicken Sue Lowden off the hook as she tries to flap her way out of her Chickens for Checkups plan (which she still emphatically stands by and will not back down from).

I asked my doctor if I could paint his house, if he would take my chickens, if I could mow his lawn or drive his kids to school; none of it worked. He still wanted my insurance card and copayment. Where is this haggling and negotiating that Lowden says works for healthcare? And why is "haggling" and "bartering" for a heart operation or kidney transplant better than.... universal healthcare? You know, where we ALL have a right to medicine, without..... haggling?

@CommonSenseJoe Fuck the library card, you need a ride to the library.

@CommonSenseJoe Subject and verb agreement, dumb fuck. "If there was tons..."

Get a library card.

@MrEatonbeaver You need medication. You make no sense at all.

@CommonSenseJoe Joe the fucking plumber. God damn, 4% profit. Hell, I might as well be watching that fixed bull shit station.

Subject and verb agreement george/sarah. Just like bush-common fuck up.

Chris Matthews interviewed her yesterday and it was anything but "hardball". He gave her some softball questions that sucked balls...he always pressed pundits hard but let the person who's view point really matters off easy...i lost a little respect for him for that...

@adamsfall You agreed that the caps will be lifted. You know that will kill private insurance. That makes it a takeover. What does the salary of the CEO of United have to do with anything? Do you think that 3.2 million makes a big difference in the profit margin? It does not.

No one is saying a civil servant is NOT cheaper, but they are cheaper for a reason. They suck at what they do. However, if the President wanted socialized medicine, he should have made an honest argument for it.

[adamsfall]

@CommonSenseJoe Where the hell did you get that I said it was a takeover? And where do you get this %4 profit margin? Stephen Hemsley CEO of United makes a salary of 3.2 mil without including bonuses and stock options. Just look up these CEO's salaries and tell me ONE civil servant who is paid like that and tell me what the overhead for gov. as opposed to private insurance is.

@adamsfall Then you agree this is NOT reform but a takeover of healthcare! Great, now we are making progress. No one died in order to "insure a profit". You can hate capitalism, but, at least, be honest about it. The profit margin in health insurance is about 4%. If there was tons of money being made then all these rich democrats should get together and start a health insurance company. In short order, they could show us all how is SHOULD be done. The government broke the system.

@CommonSenseJoe I understand max caps will be lifted. My whole point that health insurance administered on a for profit basis will always fail because of the profit margin. Bonuses in the tens of millions while people will HAVE to die in order to insure profit.
