i really need some throbbin gherkin right now
Americans have always lost their chance at health care reform. Reform is complex, so Republicans and Insurance Co.s have always been able to block reform by exploiting peoples fears of big gov’t & higher taxes. It’s almost too easy.
“What cave did this bat fly out of?”
I’m frightened. You’re frightened. Everyone should be fearful. Be afraid. Boo!
How can people believe that propaganda???
There is NOTHING, absolutely nothing, that would do what you say. The option would contain a list of coverage, that’s obvious, but how is that any different from what private plans do?
Also, if the public plan is inadequate you can press the politicians, & if they want your votes they will do something. You can press your private insurance co. too, but what good do you think that would do?
Right! I’m not fearful, they should be afraid of us. They work for us.
There are things that the government could do to make insurance more afordable like more competition, tort reform. Read this bill, you may have insurnace – but you will have to pay for it. You may have insurance but the gov. will decide if you get treatment or when you see a doctor.
nancy lugosis’ bill shield insurance companies from lawsuits when they deny care. so who is bullshitting who here?
“FREEDOM” 2010 The Fat Lady will SING!
never rnind your atrocious spelling- but what rights of yours have been taken over? I mean, since the Paatriot Act was passed?
Look at all the things the Gov’t has taken over this year and you will see this in not jest about Health Care it is about the hole take over of your rights!Wake up!
What?!!! Really?!!! How is being taxed losing your freedoms? That is fucking reaching!
This will be on Psycho talk on the Ed Show for sure!
The solution, we build a wall around Washington DC and call it a prison because that’s where they all belong! every thieving one of them!
I think the biggest problem is regulation.
the government and private companies need to be supervised, or they will run away with all they can.
Greenspan said for years the financial companies can self regulate, because it is they who lose in the end.
didn’t work out that way.
dems and reps are guilty of cheating.
I personally believe in a more liberal solution
I personally don’t make a lot of money, but I am comfortable and secure.
I am willing to pay more in taxes if it provides better health care, sends a high school grad to college at a cheaper rate.
currently It’s the insurance companies who make desicions as to what you can receive.
They get bonuses for refusing people care.
I am not against insurance companies making profit, but when is it excessive at the cost of people’s lives.
First to xtallake – you really need to redefine your thinking on liberal – the crown thought it was the “liberals” who created the country. I know, let’s just put a label on everyone and then we can dismiss them all and not have to THINK about what they are saying. Oh wait! That’s what most people have already done. Gee, no wonder we can’t communicate even though we have more ways to talk and exchange information than ever before in history.
I AM afraid of this power grab also. It’s not merely a tax increase masquerading as a health care bill, it’s a totally fraudulent attempt to co-opt every American’s right to make their own decisions about their medical care. I think we live in dangerous times.
If you’re so liberal, why don’t you give me some money cuz I’m broke!
If you’re so liberal why don’t you give me some of it?
You know some of us “liberals” have lots of money. You really need to read a little history about what happens when wealth consolidates in the hands of a few. The outcome is never good for anyone.,
And most of all we are tired or the alarmists who build their careers on creating fear and division.
Time to throw them out. Liberals, Conservatives and Independents.
Free market is great. It creates inovation.
Why let the few control it and crush everyone else.
I’m not against free market. I’m against the few giants who oppose it while wrapped in the flag
Freedom is not allowing the rich and powerful few to run and control the entire country
Wake up your being played for fools
I’m tired of hearing conservatives saying let business handle itself and all will be fine.
fine for them. They bought the government and are keeping the American people stupid.
The rich and powerful get richer
the poor get poorer and like it
allowing free market to run with no regulation will ruin this country as it had in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s
