  • 1930's: republicans opposed social security

    1965: republicans opposed medicare

    2009: they oppose healthcare.

    clearly, SSI amd Medicare have worked, that is why republicans are using scare tactics saying medicare is going to gone, and they're going to euthanize your grandparents. well, if it weren't for the democrats, we wouldn't have medicare at this moment.

  • If this healthcare reform will help people like me then I am all for it. God forbid I really get sick and need more medical treatment right now because where I am sitting and so many other people are it's not a comfortable position.

  • I got sent here by a website on American English Dialects.

  • @MrSTANDFORAMERICA That was so stupid. Have you passed third grade dumbass? What country on Earth with free healthcare has to wait 12 weeks for necessary procedures? Even when Gaddafi was the leader of Libya there were not wait times like that, in one of the world's bummiest countries. In Germany, actually, most people do not wait more than a couple hours. In Canada, they pay less taxes than here. But they have free healthcare. So whats with this tax bullshit?

  • @AwisemanisStrong That is an erroneous translation.

  • I'm a conservative. But I was given a pacemaker when I was 10. My job doesn't offer insurance and I literally can not even buy private insurance even though I'm only 28, a non-smoker, healthy young man. I've called dozens of insurance companies; but once they learn of my pacemaker that's almost two decades ago, they outright refuse to even accept me. Every day is living on the edge. And it pains me to see conservative pundits make false generalized statements that most Americans reject reform.

  • I am a republican and I i am pissed off about the republican party working for the insrance companies instead of representing our interests as the American people. Therefore, I am voting democrat this coming election. The republican part can go to hell. The American people are asked to sacrifice their kids to Iraq, but we do not deserve to have healthcare that helps us when we are sick??? What sick party is this? Dam them and the insurance companies. Dam the republican part.

  • The problem isn't the reform. Obama refuses to concentrate on whats actually wrong with the system. He's going to completely change it for the worse and we are still going to have the same problems.

  • Obama is trying to repackage himself now...the American people rejected the first package and marked it "RETURN TO SENDER"  LOL LOL

  • Do NOT associate with those given to CHANGE!! Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil. where the Spirit of the Lord is there is LIberty - Proverbs

    FEAR NOT, PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMY - Jesus

  • ur an idiot.

  • go kill urself buddy
