Surprised Anyone? Not Me... Do you think our representatives(Democrats or Republicans!!) will add an addendum that would drop them from their current plan and add them to the universal coverage they are trying to shove on us? They Wont!!! They think that we (liberals, moderates, and conservatives) are stupid and will believe anything they will tell us. Its time for this bs to end. We need to vote everyone of them out in the next election. Both Democrats and Republicans.

Pretty much says it all doesn't it? The fact that Congress would add an amendment exempting them from the public plan? Obama refuses to use the public plan or use public schools for his kids? Time to PUSH BACK, all hard working taxpaying citizens, before it is toolate.

You guys DO realize that no one is talking about a single payer system, right? You can still keep your current health care insurance company. The public option is for people who can't afford or have no access to, private companies.

So, if you get to keep your current plan.. why would anyone have a problem with this? Your personal health care, if you're happy with it, doesn't change if you don't want it to.

For now Chuck, for now.

Our government sees a great opportunity to get their hands into the biggest money making scam on earth.

Chuck you are wrong. There are stealth provisions that will make it illegal to seek private insurance if your current carrier goes out of business. Which they will.

he biggest scam is Cap and Trade. Commerce Secretary now says that the USA will have to pay for China's emissions as well.

Chuck please WAKE UP!!!! It's time wipe off your Kool-Aid Mustache. Of course they are trying to push through a single payer system. This allows them to be exempt from it. If this plan is so great they should sign up. They would both be government ran programs. Do they think they are better then us and deserve better coverage? Do you think TED KENNEDY will still be getting medical attention under this new plan?

In a perfect world everyone would have health care, a nice big house, and the same paycheck. BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. This country would fall apart. The majority of Americans are getting lazy and want something for free.... Its a shame....

What happens when your private insurance drops you,under this proposed plan? Or if you are otherwise deemed "uninsurable"?
Will people still have to lose everything they worked all their life for to qualify for Medicaid in a crisis?These are questions that need answering too.

If this is Government ran Universal Healthcare then everyone including Government employees, President, Congress down the chain, should be included with no exceptions. If not leave it alone because it means scam. They can't make Medicare /Medicaid work how will they make this work. This is what they did to SSI and look at the money they are taking from SSI.

chuck said...

I'm sorry, guys, but no one is taking your health care away. Just like no one is taking your guns away. There are no provisions saying that you will HAVE to take the public option. It will exist to take care of the 50 million uninsured, that's all.

If you have health care coverage now, and you like it, then nothing will change.

Let's stick to the facts, please, and not any paranoid conspiracy theories.

NO ONE is proposing taking away your private coverage, if you don't want to get rid of it. NO ONE. And NOWHERE in the bill does it state anything even close to that. Can we, at the very least, agree on objective reality, instead of falling into an imaginary scheme? I like to argue the merits of the ACTUAL debate, and not some made up sideshow.

so, knowing the facts now, why are people still opposed to this?

For now Chuck, for now.

I'll have my "hit list" of incumbents with me when I vote in 2010. Delaware Congressman Mike Castle, is rumored to run for Biden's Senate job and I'm going to guess he's switching to the Democratic party. He showed his colors when he cooperated with Biden and voted for Cap and Trade in the House. I will vote for whoever he's running against.

chuck said...

Okay, then what do you suggest we do with the folks like Buto and the millions of other middle class hard working Americans who can't get health insurance?

Nothing? For an unfounded fear that the government will take away your health insurance? A fear that is completely unfounded?

We need solutions, not more fear mongering and conspiracy theories. Can't we work TOGETHER on this?

Chuck please try to think outside the box for a second. Universal Heath Care will be ran by the government that does not work for a profit. When they go broke they just print more money. Private Insurance Companies need to make a profit for job creation, expansion, losses, etc. Private Insurance will be more expensive so people will drop out to get the "free" health care. Thus private insurance will be higher because of less people in the pot. Businesses will start dropping their health care packages because they are to expensive. Within time EVERYONE will be on Universal Health Care because a Private Company cannot compete with the Government. And Obama and every other politician will still have their own health care package...

And the people who oppose the Universal Care are the ones who will be paying for it... Seems Fair Right?

joealbero said...

Yeah, just like the Postal Service that isn't in it for a profit. PLEASE Chuck, open your eyes. Like I said earlier, this is just another ploy for our government to eventually squeeze out everyone else because they know how much money/profit is in it.

Not for profit my A$$. They'll just keep growing and growing in order to show they're not making any more money and taking from the taxpayers to lower unemployment once again.

It's a BS scam, that's all it is. I'm not saying I like the current system but please, keep the Government out of private business. YOUR President is a socialist, period.

12:48 PM Can't we work TOGETHER on this?

No, the democrats have the majority and wont let the republicans contribute anything to this bill...

Chuck, I don't like the current system either but what they are trying to push through us is a disaster.. Just like Medicaid, Medicare and social security. A government is politically ran. It does not operate on a business platform. We need successful business owners running this country!!

Don't Blame Me I Voted For McCain! said...

You all seem to forget that we'll also be taxed to pay for the useless people that smoke crack all day and have no desire to work...we'll pay their insurance while they keep smokin dope and bustin in houses; and don't forget that pretty lil welfare momma droppin kids every 9 months so she can get a bigger check!

It's time for a revolution people!

Don't forget the 12million +++++illegal immigrants that Obama wants to cover as well. Anything to make sure the Demonrats stay in power forever.

Chuck is correct. This Health Care program is to provide basic health care needs to the uninsured. If you want to keep your private insurance you can. Rampant paranoia. This site has become little more than a collection of conspiracy theorists...

joealbero said...

anonymous 9:16, you forgot to call us racists too. You know how you democrats work. You go on the attack and then claim you never said anything wrong. Every single program our government has ever been involved in has scred up. When are you going to get it. How much have YOU put into Social Security, oh, that's right, you're probably 21 years old and on your knees for your masiah. Wake up young american, the government screws everything up. Or was it the PEOPLE that got us ALL into the mess we're now in. It doesn't matter if you're Republican, Democrat, Indipendent, your government will screw you and the upper politicians will become instand millionaires, that's how it works.
