Democratic Agenda Regarding Health Care Reform

MSNBC 05 06 2009 18 05 18
First of all what we want to do, as you well know, and the president has set forth as an agenda, is to make health care, quality health care, accessable health care available to all Americans. It is shameful that we're the richest country on the face of the earth. We have 46 million americans who if they get sick are not sure where they can get treatment or get advice from a doctor and if they get really sick they go to an emergency room, which is the most expensive place to go to get health care. We're about the business of making sure that every american that is in our health care system has access to quality health care...

Barak Obama's Health Care Reform.... Can it hurt american residents. . . ? American view point's need to be heard! Go to my utube profile and find out how.

Insurance co's are frauds. They have relinquished all rights to have the field to themselves. Even the Republicans acknowledged that health care needed to be fixed, during the elections in 2008. It is time to take the corruption out of this.

Will the House and Senate take on the same health care program that they are trying to ram down the throats of the American people? I will bet everything I have that these politicians both Republican and Democrats do everything in their power to come up with excuses why they cannot give up their current health care for the same health care they are proposing in this bill. I can assure you that the elitists ideology of our elected officials will have an excuse for not taking the same policy.

Now with 60 votes the Senate has no excuses not to get (EFCA, Public Option Health Care) passed for the 70% of American people that want it done. To hell with the GOP minority they are old school. The middle class needs EFCA and the Public Health Care Option to compete in the world market. Conservatives are going to yell patriotisms, liberty, bankrupted, lines at the doctors office, socialism, and so on. The same old school BS, dont be moved by their fear mongering.

The public plan will bankrupt America i don't understand why people want more big government?

Medicare is failing social security is going broke and we have the wasted stimulus and the huge mistake of the Bush bailout and the stupid Obama bailouts of the auto companies.

I don't get it do you people want to pay 50 to 65 percent in taxes for garbage.

The free market is the only way!

STRIKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIVATE & PUBLIC HEALTH CARE:

PRIVATE:

Places the INSURANCE COMPANY between YOU & YOUR DOCTOR. The Insurance Company DECIDES what treatment they will authorize & pay or what claim they will deny & cancel the policy.

PUBLIC:

Your DOCTOR is the one who DECIDES what treatment YOU require. NO profit involved. NO more red tape. NO begging with Insurance Company for approval.

ALL SENATORS in Congress have a GOVERNMENT run PUBLIC HEALTH PLAN !!
