im familiar enough with the bill to know that this country could never be able to pay off the debt that this thing is going to create not to mention the 12 trillion we already have, this bill is going to kill this country if its passed, although something is going to have to shake with in the next 2 years for America to even think about surviving much less be a world power.

do you people …
do you people realize how well off people are with nationalized health care? countries like japan, UK, switzerlan, and germany all live longer than us by at least a year. The UK is the leader in preventative healthcare in the world because people aren’t worried about how much a doctors visit will cost. Sure, we have more freedom with privatized. I mean, our country is built on freedom. But this freedom is causing people to die. “If you have money to kill people, You have money to save people”

Being closed minded …
Being closed minded will get us no where. I believe that President Obama is a good role model in acknowledging strengths in both parties. We all agree we need to change things, lets do it together! We all are affected, we should all be involved. People don’t like change and it is hard, but it must be done. Cheers for a healthier American future!

lol at 19:48 just a few details huh, like the one about the health care bill being over 2,000 pages long!

Here’s the solution …
Here’s the solution:
Let the registered dumocrats “opt in” on their IRS form this year to your government health scare plague, and go ahead and tax them for it.
AND
Let the Republicans “opt out” on their IRS forms and in doing so they can opt out of having their private insurance TAXED.
Use the taxes you already get from income to cover the uninsured and leave it at that!
Fair enough?
Honestly, you can pay for abortions and skip mamograms etc..for…’them’.

Only national …
Only national health care can provide coverage that will stay with you whether you move, change your job or lose your job — as Obama said in a New York Times op-ed. This is obviously a matter of great importance to all Americans, because, with Obamas economic policies, none of us may have jobs.

Ok, time will tell. Just keep in mind what I said and ill keep in mind what you said.

It’s not a bailout. Insurance companies are fine. He specifically said that they’re basically having free reign in states. They are controlling themselves, not being controlled, nor in need of it. They’re prices are what they want. Second of all, Insurance companies will NOT be fatcats. You obviously did not listen to the Exchange part. The Exchange offers competition. I respect your opinion, however, there is no way to definitely prove either one of ours.

Of course, most …
Of course, most progressive advocates of national health insurance are unconcerned whether the Constitution authorizes such a law when a pseudo-constitutional reasoning to reach the desired result will suffice.
December 4th, 2009 at 7:33 am
I have to disagree …
I have to disagree with you. Give it a few years and ill bet the insurance companys will be here with executive fatcat bonuses while you guys are rationed care. I cant understand why you dont see it as a bailout when Obama is in bed with the insurance companys and he said himself that anyone withought insurance will have to buy or face a fine.

You are a liar, and …
You are a liar, and someone full of bullshit. I’d like to point out a few things about your opinoin:
1. It has no basis in fact. There is no fraud nor no lying. If you can tell me ONE lie in that entire video, I’d say I’m wrong. Wait, there isn’t. Damn. Me:1 You: 0
2. There can only be benefit from this program. That’s why it costs so much. Obama IS going for public option. It most certainly is not a bailout. It’s a chance at higher competitivity. You are a dumbass. Me: 2 You:0
I win,you lose

the problem with …
the problem with private health care, is the for profit system. They make the biggest profits by giving you the least care for the most money. They’ll even get you to go to the docs office if you don’t need to so they can charge you for it, and pretend like they’re making you better. Just and office visit. No surgery, no medicine NOTHING.
I’ll take universal care ANY day. It was perfectly goo in the UK for me for 27 years

it’s not govt run healthcare.

The same hospitals and docs will be doing the work…..not some new crop of communists with rusty needles.

Its not a …
Its not a government run healthcare system. Its the merger of state and corporate powers whuch is called fascism. The insurance companys wrote the bill!!
So everyone will be at the mercy of private, for profit, deregulated insurance companys. And you cant sue them and your life depends on them.
December 4th, 2009 at 7:33 am
You ree the one who …
You ree the one who is brainwashed. Obama is a liar and a fraud. Obama is not going for a real public option. He is going for an insurance company bailout by forcing people to buy private deregulated insurance.
Real Democrats like Dennis Kucinnich have spoken out against Obama healthcare.
