    Obama has done more …
    Obama has done more in his first 8 months as President than GW Bush did in his entire 8 years. Barack is really working hard for US. He’s doing a great job. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to pass all of the health care reforms that we need (the insurance and pharmacy companies will see to that), but he will make a difference and change the way health care is delivered in America. It’s about time, too! Amen.

    47 million people, …
    47 million people, 50% illegal aliens, most don’t pay their medical bills anyway, which is why they sit an emergency room getting free healthcare about how they don’t have free insurance. The ain’t free someone pays through higher insurance premiums, whether they pay that to an insurance company or the gov’t it all is the same shit.

    Everyone sing it with Obama now:

    You are the cancer that is killing /America and badly in need of chemo.

    Are you searching …
    Are you searching for a cure for cancer?

    Google: “Tesla Rife RF Therapy Cancer”

    Such devices can be purchased now or built. It’s just one more example of how corporations have infiltrated the health care system, and replaced curing people with ways to keep them sick and make more money by perpetuating their illness and keep them addicted to pills.

    See integrity research institute (dot) org for more info on RF bioelectric treatment.

    First off, theres …
    First off, theres no such thing as Obama Care.

    Secondly, Obama initiated the debate and set the parameters for reform and congress produced several bills that are being debated now.

    If you’d only turn off Fox News and open your mind and ears and stop being so paranoid about your imaginary stock portfolio of pharma companies, and think about how we are going to reform the broken system that Nixon ushered in, we’d be much better off!!

    If you think the US health care system is just fine, take a peek at my vids. Then immagine if this happened to your child.

    Thank you. I’ve never been much of a patriot, but, for the first time, I feel proud of America. Definitely my favorite president. Now my mom might be able to avoid disability. Thank you.

    The POTUS explained …
    The POTUS explained clearly that the Public Option will NOT be subsidized by the Govt. It will raise money through premiums ONLY. So, the argument that Public Option will compete unfairly is FALSE!
    If Private Ins. is as “good” as they claim, they should NOT be chickening away from competing with the Public Option!

  11. Paulsur says:

    Hey Obama Genius, …
    Hey Obama Genius, you cant add 47 million people to a gov’t mandated health insurance and cut costs without cutting services. Guess you need to break it to Michelle, no more plastic surgeries honey! Oh yeah, you and congress arent participating in this plan, it is only for us low-life ordinary scum, guess that means no chemo treatments for my cancer…

    You all are un-American- I am reporting you to FlagatWhitehousedotGov

    BWA HA HA HA HA HA …
    BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA !
    Look at this News Headline: “Conservative Activist Gets In Fight At Town Hall, Now Asking For Medical Donations…
    He Doesn’t Have Health Care”

    This is the KIND of people we are dealing with here. Sore losers from Nov. 4th, fighting ferociously against THEIR OWN interest just because they’ve got to be anti-Obama!

  14. SickOfPunditsOnTV says:

    Rethuglibans are ” …
    Rethuglibans are “so sure” of their arguments, that they are BUSING THUGS around the Country to go DISRUPT Health Care DEBATES (Town Hall Meetings).

    How “democratic” of these “freedom” lovers!

    Repuglibans believe in the kind of Democracy that is VOID of The Freedom to Assemble and Debate Policies like Heath Care.

    To them;
    Democracy is the Governing of the People, for the Corporate Mafias by their Rethugliban G”No!”P Puppets.

  15. SickOfPunditsOnTV says:

    To clarify a HUGE …
    To clarify a HUGE Misunderstanding in the US:
    YOU have CONTROL over Govt!
    You DON’T have control over CORPORATIONS.
    If you don’t like a Govt, you can vote to change it.
    But, without Govt’s HELP, you can do NOTHING against getting RIPPED OFF by Corporate Mafias, like the Health Insurance Co.s.
    For example:
    - Discrimination of people with Pre existing Conditions.
    - Selecting ONLY the healthiest people to insure.
    – Dropping YOU when you fall sick (Cancer, Accidents, Need a transplant etc)

  16. SickOfPunditsOnTV says:

    Right now, Health …
    Right now, Health Insurance Co.s (HIC) executives are STANDING between you and your doctor,
    denying you treatment, cherry picking only the healthiest people to insure and yet denying them care when they fall sick. HIC execs are telling your doctor which pill to prescribe.

  17. SickOfPunditsOnTV says:

    Private Health …
    Private Health Insurance Co.s (HIC) and their Repugliban puppets are doing everything to maintain their POWER over the American People. HIC want to continue SCAMMING us out of our money and DENYING us CARE! Standing BETWEEN YOU and YOUR Doctor, they deny the doctor’s prescription if it is expensive, making sure you get the CHEAPEST pill, NOT the MOST EFFECTIVE! HIC have ONLY ONE concern: Pay minimum, maximize profit, get HUGE BONUSES!

  19. silas232003 says:

    Hey douch bag.. …
    Hey douch bag.. although infrastructure is minimal… the Government does spend money on it u tard. Government spending or government expenditure is classified by economists into three main types. government purchases for consumption, creating of future benefits and transfer of money.
    check out other spending and transportation for us government expenditure. I guess i gotta smack yah again. GDP = C + I + G + (X − M).

    E-Verify should be on the national agenda to countermand any illegal alien infiltration into the working environment. Whatever needs to done should take priority to remove the unauthorized labor in our jobless nation. More funding, more modifications until the illegal immigrant fraudulent use of documentation becomes a thing of the past. Using whatever technical programming that is available, to make it’s operation inadvisable? Any database including state criminal, FBI, Social Security, Homeland Security, and any other means possible. Ultimately the final version would contribute photo verification, national ID system with biometric data which has been recommended by the Brooking’s Institute and Duke University MIT. Supposedly small employers who don’t operate computers should have common access in such locations as Post Offices or other approachable government building to identify the workers they are hiring.

    There should be no excuse to not install a nationwide mandatory system of worker identification. My suggestion is that–ALL-I-9′s should be copied and a duplicates sent to a Homeland Security Clearing House? Creating such an office would be a simple affair, if our state and federal government would be more beneficial to the working American male and female. If our government is sincere in securing our borders, and introducing new immigration enforcement tools, then E-Verify will become the final deterrent and not be weakened by Sen Harry Reid and his administration. I have made a point of speaking to a few business human resources departments, and found most are enthusiastic about the use of Verify. Only 1 of the 6 companies that I investigated determined some false negatives” and “false positives. But they always have a backup system of contacting the Social Security agency nearest to them, until the irregularities are resolved.

    All that remains is citizens and legal residents to stop the Obama people from throwing a wrench in the cogs and stopping any technological advancement with E-Verify. E-Verify can be used on a universal level in checking bogus drivers license applications, auto insurance, home purchase, health care and other personal data. It would certainly alleviate the kidnapping of social service programs by the 20 to 30 illegal immigrants in America. It would displace foreign nationals so down-trodden legal single mums with children, homeless vets, senior citizens and even students could get employment. It all depends on all of us to contact our Representative in Washington at 202-224-3121. Tell them you don’t want half measures by full permanent implementation? NO MORE DRAGGING THEIR FEET? Tell them your remember them on next election day. YOU ALSO WANT AN END TO ANOTHER AMNESTY.

    Don’t let them distract you, but repeat your demands without hesitation to these open border jerks. Invest a little time and check what your politicians are doing to our immigration enforcement safeguard at NUMBERSUSA. Read about the consequences of future OVERPOPULATION at CAPSWEB and our collapsing infrastructure, that has been ignored for decades nationwide. Last read factual information at JUDICIAL WATCH that discloses the lawmakers, that are running the country for themselves, friends and business associates. ITS ALL FREE. Read that some of the White House Czars are not true Democrats, but are shadowed by their past Liberal Marxist backgrounds.
