Democrats' Health Care Hypocrisy

At a press conference in the U.S. Capitol, Senate Republicans point out that Democrats' words contradict their actions on health care: Democrats may talk about bipartisanship, but they continue to push a partisan health care bill that the American people have already rejected.

When No means less government, Im all for it. Dems= the party of welfare and taxes.

You realise that the tax cuts were for everybody who pays taxes, right? That they weren't just for rich people as you suggest? And most people seem to be against Senators and Congressman making a law that they haven't even read, let alone the American people having read it. Add on to that the fact that it blows up the deficit, increases premiums, cuts Medicaid and Medicare and was crafted in secret behind closed doors and most people realise it's just a bad bill.

@ConnerHudson Yes, but you know, the president says that "there's a time when you've made enough money". I'm just not sure that he would ever in a lifetime decide that he himself had made enough, along with every Senator, Representative and or other poltical people. Every last one is guilty of hypocrisy.

@1986hangman If you force insurance companies to increase coverage, they will increase prices, either overtly, or through premium increases. This is obvious to anyone who understands basic economics. And when the top 1% pay more income tax than the bottom 90%, wouldn't you say they've paid enough?

@parulkarg

Yeah no one wants to hear their retarded BS

@ConnerHudson

actually this bill lowers premiums and makes it law that 85% of your premiums have to go back to your care.also it, completely cut banks out of the student loans.americans pay more in healthcare and education than anything else I dont think a bill which makes those things cheaper is sinister. I think government having a role in them is appropriate.and actually you are right.. Obama cut taxes for 92.4% of tax filers. Why protest tax cuts and savings on education, and health care?

And the Republicans are all about smaller gov right?.... Many idiots are on Youtube and JawJaws you just vaulted the the front on the line. You obviously do not have a family to speak with such ignorance, nor have you been sick in this system. So enjoy your stupidity.

With regards to the Democrats healthcare bill : it is estimated that 44,700 people die/yr from lack of health insurance. Should the democrats get their way and have the sick be able to get medical help and do so in a way as to avoid bankruptcy this will not look good for the republicans. It is unfortunate but there will have to be sacrifices on the American people to get a republican back in office.

Good move on Kyl's part not to want to extend unemployment under Obama while he did vote to under Bush. Though this may seem cruel to those families who are trying to cloth and feed their loved ones kyl is putting the republican agenda first. Next time the voters will (lesson learned) votein a republican - then they'll get the extensions. Kyl understands that he will have to sacrifice some families for the good of the GOP and save America from communists, socialists, and fascists.

Do you realize the top 1% do not need a tax cut? Do you realize Obama' plan actually saves money over the way we do things now? I have personal experience with this system
