Where are our roots? What would George Washington do? If we are following our Constitution where is the fairness? If we are being fair with the poor why aren’t we being fair with our states and treating everyone equal. We are so concerned for the poor!!!!!!!!!!!Tell me another LIE.

you republican anti goverment program types are a hoot!!!you really are!!you seem to ignore the fact that the private insurance companies are greedy and wholly profit motivated!!that means they take in monthly premium payments from people that think they are 100%percent covered ,only to find out later how wrong they were to believe that, all the way to the bankruptcy courts!! any chance these insurance companies get to deny coverage or claims or procedures they look for vigorously and jump on! some of the money they take in premiums is spent on lobbying efforts to kill any kind of needed reforms.i would never stand in support of these robber barron profiteers!!i believe we need a goverment option for healthcare i would trust a goverment option more than i would ever trust any greedy profit motivated corporate bloodsucker private insurance company!!

How about getting the information from the source about Government healthcare instead of listening to government polititions that are paid under the table from Insurance companies and Drug companies.
Contact Canada, or England, and ask a surgeon, Nurse, or someone with a family member in their age with medical problems and ask they are being taken care now.
Not 8 years ago, and then I will believe news cast.
I know how the how drug companies and Insurance Companies are, I worked for one for 6 years.
they will do anything to keep the public from knowing the truth on how much they charge and how little they care about your health!!!

Msnbc just aired three videos that conclusively prove that Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Newt Gingrich, are nothing but lying scum determined to go to any lengths to defeat health care reform. What did each of the videos show? They showed Palin, Limbaugh, and Gingrich, specifically supporting, on television and radio, end-of-life or advance care directives (living wills) identical to those mentioned in the health care reform bills, which these scum balls now describe as calling for “death panels”, the “killing of the elderly and disabled”, etc. In fact, Sarah Palin went so far as Governor of Alaska as to sign a declaration setting aside a day to spread the message to Alaskans that end-of-life or advance care directives are beneficial and that every person should have one. People, do yourself a favor. Get the facts for yourself. For God’s sake don’t rely on pathological liars such as the aforementioned persons to tell you what is in the health care bills. These patently unpatriotic morons have one agenda, which is to see that President Barack Obama, and therefore the United States of America, fails in an attempt to reform a health care system that is seriously broken and causing 1 million Americans to go bankrupt every year and 2,000 Americans to lose their health care coverage every day. On this and every other important issue facing our country, we must not succumb to those who use fear, ignorance, and misinformation to defeat proposals that are good for the American people.

The GOP has this drill down cold:
1. Use apocalyptic rhetoric with Christian religious and Caucasian racial subtexts to inflame fear, bigotry and extremism among the uneducated and intolerant.
2. When liberals object, say you were only joking and accuse them of being humorless.
3. Keep turning up the heat and act surprised when somebody finally heeds your calls for extreme action.
4. If violence occurs, be sure to say you were only speaking figuratively and you are being unfairly blamed.
5. Keep your subsequent celebrations behind closed doors.

BALONEY. THE US ECONOMY PAYS 16.9 PERCENT OUT IN TOTAL MEDICAL EVERY YEAR. IN TAIWAN THEY PAY 6 PERCENT TOTAL. PLUS, THEY CAN USE ANY DOCTOR, ANY INSURANCE, AND GET IMMEDIATE CARE FOR ANY AILMENT WHATSOEVER UP TO 50 DOCTOR VISITS PER MONTH PER AILMENT, PER CITIZEN. ALL WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. THEY’VE HAD IT FOR 10 YEARS NOW AND THE DOCTORS GET PAID AS WELL OR BETTER THAN THEY WERE IN THE OLD DAYS. WHY? THEY CARE FOR THEIR CITIZENS AND HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE. LOOK UP TAIWAN’S SYSTEM, YOU’LL BE AMAZED. DON’T CALL IT SOCIALIST, TAIWAN IS WAY MORE ANTI-COMMUNIST THAN THE GOP ARE… LIKE 100X MORE.

I cannot recall a single business that the Govt. is in ( post Office, medicare, farm support, Social Security, , etc. etc. ) that is run efficiently, or at a profit, or has competent management. Now they think they can run an auto co. or another health program. They complain about bonuses paid and lack of shareholders approval yet give themselves raise after raise with out taxpayer’s approval. TAXPAYERS are the govt’s shareholders. I am sick tired of the sorry administration we have trying to give away even more to the ones that donot pay to suport the govt. and taking away from those of us that do. I think we have an president that would like to be a dictator, instead of a leader.

Hold it. Enough with the insults. We’re all on this Titanic together, and it’s time to bail out. No more handouts, no more unfettered spending by the biggest bunch of spenders in history. We don’t need to ‘fix’ anything in this country. We need term limits! And America, we need to get it: we’re all in need of prayer, amen?

Any of you serious about knowing what’s really going on in this country and the world, be it health care, war, energy, global warming, etc. should read Hegel, specifically read about the Hegelian Dialectic. This is all smoke and mirrors. The government is taking over everything and I mean everything. It doesn’t really matter who the President is. After you’re done reading about that read about the SPP Security and Prosperity Partnership aka The North American Union which will also take you to information about the new coin of the realm the “Amero”. Then check out the NAFTA Super Highway. I’m telling you folks, things are moving forward. While we sit here babbling about republicans and democrats, pointing our fingers at the left or right, they’re out there cementing their own power for the foreseeable future.

You don’t get it Gary, I don’t care about right v left, rep v dem, lib v con. I DON’T WANT TO PAY FOR ANYBODY TO HAVE HEALTH CARE BUT ME AND MY FAMILY! I am sick and tired of politicians of all stripes sticking their thieving hands in my pockets so they can keep their own power hungry ### in office in perpetuity! I don’t care if it’s Bush, Obama or Jesus, “keep your hands off my stack!”
