It's time. The maggots that run the health insurance companies are criminal punks looking to protect their own. Let's get an alternative to corruption, criminality, venality and greed.

The Republicans always vote 'yes' on Wealth Insurance.

Valuable information!

Joe, Democrats are more intimidated into capitulating to the Right because Democrats' liberal and leftist support base is weak and apathetic. The Republicans are dominated by ultra-right-wing conservatives and have to be strong on behalf of that constituency because it's the base that supports them. Don't expect Democrats to be responsive to you if you stand on the sidelines and jeer them like they're no better than the opposing side.

This video was hitting a home run until the very last line. --"we need the choice of a public insurance plan."

If "our representatives" want a competitive market, and if they want to end monopolies, then stop bailing them out with out with tax-payer funded bailouts. First they claim they are too big to fail, then turn around and say "we" need to authorize a tax-funded govt. insurance plan in order to provide competition!??! Total double speak

hahaha look at this guy.

Hey, I've got something to tell you:

Democrats and Republicans are both right wing corporate tools. I've never made an allegiance to a party because I'm not some cheerleader that treats politics as a sport. If someone is terrible, they are terrible to me regardless of party affiliation. The worst thing we can do now is shift right and that is what is happening with Democrats. Conservatism is destroying this country.

i agree with u thetre...obama broke that promise a long time ago...i also dont agree with taxing people upto 3800 for not getting health care thats insane..i just beleive that if obama would demand a public option then there would be no need to tax people for not having insurance because there would be a back up plan for people who dont want private insurance...or people who cant afford it or get it...

[Joe402]

Democrats cave easily why didn't you bully them into submission like you did when you got them to water down the stimulus by making 40% of it useless tax cuts?

[leo2009910]

well considering idk who you people are...im going to assume ur not talkin about me because i know why im a democrat it just seems lately that the democrats in congress have become weak and forgotten why the american people gave them a super majority in november but they can kiss it goodbye next year because they have gotten extremely weak when it comes to health care...

[PAyankee]

Yeah, the republicans were getting more money (and employment out of office) then you could shake a stick at. It wouldn't make sense for them to hurt their good friends in the industry by repealing some silly little bill.

[Joe402]

So why didn't the Republicans repeal it when they had control?

[leo2009910]

hmmm u seem angry...maybe u should take an anger management class before u make another stupid angry comment....
