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.

Joe, just 2 days ago you were ranting about 'corporate apologists who are scum'  for defending the exemption - THOSE PEOPLE WOULD BE DEMOCRATS JOE! Now you are call the tax cuts in Obama's January stimulus package 'useless'. Those uselss tax cuts are for businesses and people making less than 200k/year!

Joe, WAKE THE FUCK UP, YOU'RE ARGUING AGAINST YOUR OWN PARTY YOU MORON - YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN AT HEART JOE, FACE REALITY FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

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?

[ObamaEqualsStupid]

I just have a hard time deciphering between the democrats who actually want the best health care for all americans and the democrats who just want to punish private industry and wealthy republicans! There is this delusional obsession, an unhealthy perversion instilled in democrats to see large business fail! If the politicians wanted to genuinely see an improvement in healthcare they would do what Barack Obama promised during his election.

TELEVISE THE DEBATE AND NEGOTIONS ON C-SPAN!

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...

[ObamaEqualsStupid]

It's not angry, it's more like a passionate teacher who cares about his fellow man. You people just don't bother to educate yourselves before you go and jump behind an issue or candidate - you look like complete fools.
