Obama Warns House Dems that Voting Against Health Reform Won’t Shield Them from GOP Attacks

A majority of Americans do not want ObamaCare and it’s time our “representatives” begin listening to to their constituents.

Politics or not … WE NEED REFORM. Enough talk … pass it already. Its a crying shame that people DIE because of no coverage. Its also a shame that many are blinded by the fact that NOT covering the uninsured actually makes it MORE expensive for all of us ! My son cut his Achilles tendon in an accident, $40,000 dollars and NO insurance. Who do you think absorbs that cost ? REFORM NOW …!

President Obama is a turning out to be quite the manipulator. He warns democrats not to vote against government-controlled healthcare (it’s not reform.) He warns democratic strategists not to appear on Fox News. He seems to be afraid of opposing views. He SAYS he wants to work with republicans, but he won’t even meet with them to discuss areas of agreement. Cross him at your own peril, as he seems to be vengeful. Not exactly what we voted for one year ago.

I agree with jacksmith! our president is very vengeful! Ever notice the look he gives reporters when they ask a tough question? How he never gives a straight answer, just belittles those who don’t agree with him (Fox News, Tea party attendees, ext.) Why are we rushing to pass this in the dark of night when nothing will take effect until what? 2013/2014? This guy thinks you can demand respect not earn it.

Jason—You should be paying for insurance for your son like my sister pays for insurance for her irresponsible offspring. Further more, your son will still not be covered unless he PAYS for a policy and if he continues to not pay for his own insurance, he will pay a big fat fine or go to jail. This bill is not going to help young, healthy people like your son who should be able to afford health care insurance. But, if it takes the US govt to make your son pay his own way, then I guess that’s a help for you.

Thirty years of conservative rule and now they care about my health care?
What is their healthcare Plan?
They are feeding us FEAR, They care about losing power for generations.
Their party is running fake revolts, tv propaganda, like a thrid world dictator. Now they are eating their own like cannibals. Republican!!!!yuck!!

So why is Obama cheering this on?He swore he’d never sign something greater than 900 billion. By the CBO says this is over a trillion.Ooops I am a blatant liar. I just hope no one notices.The obamatrons won’t and I know I can hide behind the main steam media.

Yoy people kill me. You worry about spending billions or trillions of dollars, that you wont ever see, on Healthcare. But you could care less that we spend that much and more sending our sons and daugthers to die fighting wars in foreign countries. ou all need to get educated about 1 thing. Who really cares how much healthcare reform cost? do any of you really know how much of your paycheck goes to send your children off to get killed? If the debate is really about not transferring debt to our grandchildren. Then how about educating yourselves about how much we spend sending our kids off to die in Iraq and Afganistan (costofwar.com). Oh and by the way who pays for there healthcare when they come back with PTSD’s or have lost limbs due to combat injuries. Wake up people, Republicans and Democrats! Healthcare reform is the least of our problems. Lets fight to end this war!

I just finishe watching 7 hours of c-span. Like good soldiers the Republicans got up and repeated the same objections over and over. The Republican health plan does address several important issues. Pre existing conditions, if you have a pre existing condition under the R plan, you’re not going to find coverage. The R plan only includes three million uninsured Americans, perhaps that why it cost less. The R plan does nothing to curtail spiraling costs of insurance. R claim the elederly are in favor of their plan. AARP defies their claim by endorsing the option. R’s claim doctors are in favor of their plan. AMA defies their logic and endorses the option. It appears only R’s and pro lifers endorse the R plan. I stopped watching when Cantor got 5 muinutes and claimed his plan wiould keep the government from coning in between you and your doctor.
The R’s have nothing to say and nothing to do it with. They were against Social Security, before they were for it. In 1965 they were against medicare, before they were for it. Once they reach 65 none of them turn down medicare.
Ian has muscular dystrophy. It was costing Guardian a million dollars a year to keep this 37 year old male alive. Ian was covered ubder a group plan and his policy and benefits could not be touched. Unless the company discontinued coverage on all policy holders afflicted with muscular dystrophy. That;s exactly what they did. A Guardian executive was heard saying, “we need to get these dogs off the roll”. R’s talk as if the private sector is a garden of Eden for Americans. It’s more like a garden of sharp pointy granite. R’s don’t have the answers. All they have is a half baked give away to insurance companies.
Abortion was a big issue, why? What does abortion have to do with health care? The R’s want to change the HYDE law. Not allowing women to have a(n) abortion even if they pay for it themselves. R’s are clueless. One house Rep. said something I believe is true. A big difference between R’s amnd D’s is D’s have hearts and R’s have stones.
If you kick a R in the heart you would break your toe. LOL! All of these WHITE ANGLO Males are telling women what they can or can’t do with their bodies. I am not criticising those who are pro life. All I’m suggesting is do what you want to do and let others do what they want to do. It’s a personal issue and should be left up to the people involved to decide. Someone posted a good point on an other board. Something I believe to be ture and very relevent. People who are against abortion usually are also against welfare and government subsidies. Essentially R’s want to force child birth onto those who don’t want the child. Several possible reasons could be age, perhaps the mother is 15, not maarried to anyone to support the child, maybe the pregnancy is due to rape, incest, a gang rape, maybe the mother just does not feel she can raise the child, maybe she is a drug addict and the child is born into addiction. R’s have nothibng but disdain for women in many of these circumstances. But aborting the child is not ok. Once the child is born, it’s there to be castrated by the R’s. Looked down upon as unfit for society.
Anyone notice how all the pictures of children pro lifers show are healthy, blode haired, blue eyed, full faced lovable children. In their minds this is the child they are saving. maybe they should take pictures of the children they want to bring into the world un wanted 5-10 yeqars after they are forced into this world. Kids, on drugs, dealing drugs, robbing, killing.
Their mothers hookers, drug addicts, or just poor as dirt. Who are the R’s to determine who lives and who does not. Not at inception, but after they are out into the world.

“Essentially R’s want to force child birth onto those who don’t want the child. ”

Now here, you seem to group ALL Republicans where simple fact is ALL Republicans do not feel this way. In fact I don’t personally know a one that does.
I don’t want to force childbirth on anyone. What I want to encourage is responsibility before conception. (Please read on before getting angry at me..OK?) There are many ways to avoid getting pregnant. Unless both persons engaging in sexual intercourse want that child and are willing to give it love, care, and support until it is grown…use protection…heck, use more than one form of protection. And this is to the ladies: you are the one whose body will be changed, don’t leave it up to the guy.
I asked you to read on; here’s why. I agree with your reasons where abortion is justified. Rape, incest, risk of harm or death to the mother are the primary ones, but I’m not going to say just those.
NO young girl under the age of 16 should have to bear a baby; most those that young have bodies that simply are not ready. They risk permanent and serious damage to their bodies.
No woman who has been raped should be FORCED to carry that child. Let me get personal. I was raped. I became very very ill and of course the first thought was pregnancy. After 3 FALSE negative pregnancy tests, the doctors convinced me to have a bunch of xrays. Turns out I was pregnant; my body just didn’t register it on the tests. And the exrays..not good, they were twins and hideously deformed. I had to have an abortion. But if I had known before the xrays, I would have carried the babies because I was old enough (24). I was single, knew I could never have raised them, but there are many wonderful people out there wanting to adopt. But that would have been MY choice. I can completely understand other women choosing abortion after a rape. And I will defend her right to make that decision with every means I can provide.

Again, please don’t lump all Republicans or conservatives or members of any group together.
Your statements here about ALL Republicans are not true. I and all Republicans I know do NOT want unloved babies brought into the world. We do NOT want to force women who aren’t ready to have children to have them anyway.
What we do want is for people to think before having sex. If you’re not ready to be a parent, the time to prevent parenthood is before conception, not after.
God bless.

malcat – good thing no one is asking you.
I don’t think many people are objecting to health care reform.
Most are just asking to do it the best possible way with the least amount of damage to individuals and business taxpayers.
Most would like to have a leader who tells Congress to create a good bill — not threaten them that they’ll lose their cushy jobs if they don’t “play ball” with the political boss.

“I am so sick of hearing the stupid comment, millions of people are dying because they don’t have heath insurance. I got a news flash for them, millions of people are dying that do have health insurance….”

What gets me, Northwoods, is they don’t say how many of those who died having no health insurance would have died even if they had the best insurance coverage possible.

malcat – Whoops! Not offended. I was reacting to another post and mixed names.
I apologize – bad error!!
We are definitely “on the same page” with this bill.
As for latest reaction: I am surprised that the president allowed his blatant badgering of Democrats to “leave the room” for publication.
His talk had everything to do with “politics” and nothing about “content’ and “concern” that the bill would be good for all Americans — and nothing about how our existing policies will surely fall to this gov’t meddling / muddling.
Again malcat, apologies!

“His talk had everything to do with “politics”….”
OH MY GOD. You mean an American President went to Capital Hill and actually talked politics with member of Congress!?!?! OH MY GOD. What is the world coming to? LOL.
“…and nothing about “content’ and “concern” that the bill would be good for all Americans…”
Yeah, because no one has talked about that lately, heh? The bill has been talked about plenty and both sides have talked endlessly about what they think it will mean for the American people.
When the Pres goes to Congress to talk about passing a bill they aren’t going to spend a lot of time going over old ground – they’re going to talk about the political reality of getting something passed instead of talking about it for another dozen decades.

Wow, the comments on this just prove to me that Republicans have no souls. Funny that they’re the ones who actually think they do.

Pcafe: I thought that is what happened when you started your comment with ‘good thing no one is asking you’. That’s how the person I was responding to ended his post.
I’m glad you posted back. Apology completely accepted. Talk to ya later, I’m sure.

Its’ not the GOP who obama needs to fear. It’s us independents.
We gave him a chance and he blew it.

It amuses me to see posters lambasting President Obama for telling the truth. It does not matter which way a Democrat Congressman votes, the Republican Party will be trying to replace him in the next election cycle. A congressman votes primarily to please most voters in his district as best he can determine. However, there are times (too many, I think) when he votes to please his donors (the special interest lobbists) and there are time when he votes his conscience regardless of what it will do to his re-election chances. The health-care reform issue will fit all three categories.

The vote that occurred yesterday, on a 2000 page confusing Bill that was drafted secretly behind closed doors, with no time for the Congress or the citizens to adequately review it, contrary to Obama’s pledge that CNN cameras would be in the room and that it would be a bi-partisan effort, with total ignorance to the voice of the people, equates to a criminal act and the biggest threat to American Democracy since the Constitution was drafted and signed.
What else can you expect from a group of left wing Marxists, right?

Americans that do not understand Obama’s health care reform should inquire Canadians’ Health care. We Canadians enjoy the benefit of our health care system. And if someone does not enjoy it, they’re morons. Get the drift? Grow up and think about your love ones.
