President to Formally Back House Democrats’ Health Care Bill

at his own political peril. Pass it – and the sooner the better.

He can not possibly support this because it is more than that 900 billion $ amount that he promised he would not sign if it was higher than that, what lie could he come up with to break that promise.

Our current dysfunctional medical system kills 44,000 Americans a year, according to a report by the Harvard University medical School. Our infant mortality rate is twice as high as the infant mortality rate of Sweden or France, according to the CIA Fact Book. A recent report by the CDC proves that inadequate pre-natal care is largely responsible for this tragedy.
And, a majority of people suppor the public option. Finally, we are getting health care reform. We need to pass this bill immediately. Congress is taking too long.

WASHINGTON – The unemployment rate has surpassed 10 percent for the first time since 1983 — and is likely to go higher.

William j miller:
“We are supposed to be a Christian country. Go read the 4 gospels and you will find that Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick. Never once did Jesus ask about health insurance or pre-existing conditions. Jesus also told the rich man to sell all he had and give to the poor.
A for profit medical system is anti-Christian. If we are really a Christian country, we should not be debating health care reform. We should provide universal health care for everybody.
Remember Jesus healed the sick.
Wall street steals from them.
This is the reason for a public option and a reason for supporting health care reform.”
I am not religous and don’t want your DMV healthcare, nor do I want to be fined for refusing it or have the IRS come after me for penalties and premiums.
This bill is anti american and most likely not contitutional.
Your trolling premise is very funny.
Straight out of Alinsky.

Incumbents beware; We the People of The United States of America put you in office to represent us. Majority rules and any of you can be voted out of office and replaced with someone who will represent us and do our bidding.
Health care providers like doctors and nurses and the institutions they work for provide health care. Health Insurance companies are a parasite on the US Health Care System extorting vast sums of monies from sick and injured Americans to fill their coffers. We need to let the market place rule and provide a strong public option insurance program ran by the people for the people not for profit and greed and to cover operating costs only.
A publically ran insurance program for Americans who choose to participate and Americans who can not afford health care and not forcing Americans to purchase high cost private health insurance with tax dollars. A strong public option will provided needed jobs and remove the fear of Americans going bankrupt to pay for an illness or injury or being dropped from coverage or priced out with ever increasing premium and deductable costs.

I don’t believe any of the hype about “the abortion issue threatens passage” or “illegal immigrants may pose problem.”
I don’t think there would be a vote if the fix weren’t in. And Pelosi won’t require any more moderates to stick their necks out than absolutely necessary. I think it passes with 218 votes.

One example: “a man standing just beyond the TV cameras apparently suffered a heart attack 20 minutes after event began. Medical personnel from the Capitol physician’s office — an entity that could, quite accurately, be labeled government-run health care — rushed over, attaching electrodes to his chest and giving him oxygen and an IV drip.”

That makes no sense.
Dana Milbank’s beef seems to be with the laws that everyone receive emergency treatment, and paying for it gets sorted out later.
There is no irony.

ASIDE TO “ALYSON”…….
#1 The person had an apparent heart attack. Try it some day and let me know if you feel like thanking everybody who can see/here you..
#2 I do have an immpression of you as not being a member of what truly was the “greatest generation.” I am not, either, but these folks have more reason to be railing about Obamacare than you do, my friend. As I am certain that you, like me, and millions more don’t really have a read on what the details in either the Senate or the House Plan contains, there is one point to be made when you jab at folks talking about medicare…….isn’t it amazing that out of the blue because Obama, his gang, and Congress suddenly discovered a pot of gold in Medicare (graft, corruption, the usual line) that will generate billions of dollars to partially PAY FOR OBAMACARE FOR THE UNDER 65 CROWD that apparently caused no one in Washington to worry until legislation was being considered for Healthcare “reform”…why do we have such “medicare savings” today that we didn’t have yesterday….unless folks haven’t been doing their jobs in the first place??????????….and why aren’t those “savings,” if ever found, be used to shore up what we have been told in a government program going bankrupt ( medicare). Alyson, may I suggest you read the proposed legislation…difficult as it may be for citizens to get in plain English, or just skip your comments in the future. Don’t stir the soup pot if you have no soup in it…..thanks for your cooperation.

I’m going to assume that Dana Milbank either doesn’t have private insurance, and therefore supports expansion of government-run healthcare
OR
that he has private insurance and would refuse emergency treatment if a government entity were to provide it.
Anything else is just too too weirdly ironic.

It is like going to the circus watching the partisans twist and contort like pretzels in order to support this garbage. They are the chicks in the nest, mouths wide open in eager anticipation of whatever it is the Mother Government chooses to drop down their gullets. Amazingly, they don’t seem to care what the plan is. Their disbelief sits in a jar on the shelf next to their collector’s edition Inconvenient Truth and Farenheit 411 dvd’s. They know it is a total lie that this bill will cost ~1 trillion over 10 years. They know that all the profits from all the evil health insurance companies would only pay for a few days of health care in this country. And they know that real tort reform would save many times more money than eliminating all health insurance profits would do. They know it is insane to tie health insurance to employers and they know the tax write-offs associated with it artificially inflate the costs. They know institutions like the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins have serious misgivings about the bill. They know there are a great number of targeted fixes that the vast majority of Americans agree on.
They know all this and much, much more but the trudge forward with religious ferver. Addiction to government is a strange disease.
btw, remember when Big Pharma was evil?

Not one Republican for the bill and can’t even get all the Democrats to support this Pelosi / Obama care bill.
Nancy Pelosi will go down as the worst every Speaker of the House.
She is an idiot.

The premise that lack of insurance coverage can cause death is absurd. It’s just more liberal fear mongering”
Yeah because people with chronic conditions and disease who are booted off their insurance suddenly are healed or those who delay seeing a doctor for a condition because they lack insurance and the means to pay for a visit.

Nancy Pelosi will go down as the worst every Speaker of the House.
She is an idiot.
