"Good Enough for Them" - Script
Members of Congress know their health insurance plan can't deny coverage for their kids.
Congressmen can rest assured that their insurance plan won't drop their families if they get sick
The Affordable Care Act gave your family the same health protections Members of Congress get.
But Republicans want to take that protection away from your family.
They want to put insurance companies back in charge.
Call Congress.
Tell them: you deserve the same health insurance protections they get.
Tell them: Don't repeal the Affordable Care Act.

  • If the health care "FOR LIFE", AND the "Retirement pay FOR LIFE" that Congress gets is good enough for them, - why isn't it good enough for EVERYONE? As a Veteran I have to fight to get my Disability Compensation. IF the DOD had followed the Public Law that required both pre and post deployment physicals had been followed - and an ALL Inclusive Discharge Physical had been done correctly - then the V.A. wouldn't have "ALL OF A SUDDEN" after 7 years since my discharge decided I needed TBI eval.

  • What? Republicans want to take away the public's new health care insurance benefits, yet they'll threaten to shut down the government, or some such, if anyone attempts to eliminate any of the health insurance coverage we provide them with?

    Sheesh, who'd thunk??

  • I want this video on my F951 phone.

  • Your vid is popular on Afghanistan

  • We need to cut the debt..

    President Obama is right, lower the corporate tax rate, end there Entitlements and collect more tax dollars.

    Entitlements are the target of our elected officials, but only the ones affecting us the citizens. It’s time Entitlements are stripped from corporations.

    It’s time for corporations to pay their share. The time is now, close the corporate loop holes.

  • im just gonna throw this out there.

    its about fucking time liberals are using the same tactics as the republicans to get what they want.

  • @JBBlitz Your full of CRAP. I lived in Canada for 30 years . Nobody in Canada loses their life savings, their home and declare bankruptcy because they get sick like here in the US. If you are sick...you get attention and much cheaper then the insurance companies raping Americans and making huge profits. I think you are an Insurance salesman trying to spread lies about the Canadian system. Why is it cheaper to mail order drugs from Canada than to go to a local pharmacy to get them here in the US

  • @randombuddha1 and that one war was barely "justified". the military and entitlement programs (social security, medicare, Medicaid) are the biggest contributors to our debt. Along with health care costs. If we kept the bill, and cut the military and asked americans to work 2 more years we would have a balanced budget. But the root of our problem is not policy but ideology. Americans, like it big. we want it all. and until conservatives and americans learn to be less selfish we will never be well

  • Life, liberty & pursuit of happiness are pretty meaningless if you can't get or can't afford healthcare. They are near-meaningless if the healthcare you can afford puts you in poverty, or you suffer medical bankruptcy from being underinsured when you get sick.

    The GOP values corps., not citizens. We spend milionsy on 2 wars that are unbudgeted (when only 1 war was justified), but Republicans won't spend a dime for your health. If they shut down gov., they should lose their health care.

  • He was incredible as always!

  • Bottom line; reform is needed. Bottom line; the current plan does not address everything and PROBABLY needs some change itself. Instead of looking at this from an aggregate and your bad/I'm not point of view, why can't Congress drill down into provisions, have open debate and make reform affordable, consistent and maximize potential effectiveness. Personally, I would like to see a single payer/public option made available to compete with private industry rates for coverage.
