For you fools that want more government. Our fine Gov. owns AIG, GM, Part of FIAT, Citicorp etc. Why not just pass a damm bill to buy Humana, Aetna, United Health, and Wellpoint. Now that would cost us about $65 billion we have 70%-80% covered, now cover the rest and its profitable. Do not need all new assets and liabilities. A damm takeover. Then all of you can shut up. Own what most of you hate. It is so easy to do instead of putting them out of business. This is to easy. It fits socialism.
wrong bus said, You're confusing reimbursement rates with premium rates. The public option can reimburse hospital/physician providers at a similar rate as private insurers, (due to large enrollment) while keeping down premiums (as there is no profit incentive)...........It but will it. 2. if the public option covers more than private than wouldn't that profit be offset by coverages thereby unable to contribute toward lower premiums. Will it carry the same reserves as private or offset with tax
I can't understand the Americans who still believe in the glistening pectoral program. This guy is a total clown and alot of America is starting to finally wake up. This health care package is going to be a giant suppository for our country whether we like it or not and the democrats say let the people be damned! We have to regain control of the House and the Senate next year or start bowing to the East 4 or 5 times a day as the Raghead in Charge of our military dictates. Wake up America!!
Out men and women in uniform in afghanistan are being murdered by this president because he is unable unwilling or incapable of making a decision. His telepromter is quiet has not decisive retoric to impart. He can spout off about police brutality (a lie as it turns out), fox news (because they will not parrot his telepromter) but he could not make a decision about the pirate (the commander of a ship got the job done) cannot about Iraq, and the few decision he has made have made the USA weaker.
I wish someone would point out that the government already has control of 46% of our healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans) PLEASE FIX THIS FIRST! SHOW US THAT THE GOVT CAN REALLY FIND THE WASTE AND FRAUD.
Of the remaining coverage 60% is covered by NON-PROFITS!!!! whose retained earnings are in the .05% range.
Only 20% of insured Americans are covered by For-profit companies.

Email address and name should be the same each time.
Greta, why not require the same name be used each time a person blogs, just like you do for E Mail adresses??? I think one person (hint - initials B. R.) uses up to ten different names and makes it appear that there are all kinds of lib nuts, reading and commenting on this blog. Did the signers of the Decleration of Independene use three different names???? No, they signed their own names with BOLDNESS.
cathy ! so have i ! & so has allot of others , They aren't listening ! what care they , what we say ! The powers that be says they're all Irreverent! The powers that be , Is Obama & Rahm Emanuel ! Their all forging ahead ! Because Obama wants his Legacy the HCRBILL & the destruction Of America ! He's a Muslim ! working for the Terrorist Muslims !
ya know the Attack from with in theory ! wake up ! they will not listen till we Revolt!
Ask yourselves where the distribution of wealth has gone to ? it certainly isn't going to the poor! haven't heard anyone poor saying they've gotten Any $ ! it certainly hasn't gone to the working group! haven't heard anyone of them say the received any raises OR money from Big Brother ! so where's the wealth going ! the Democrats & Sen's The money is being diverted to every aspect , but where it was intended .an acorn reality " look here , while i place it there!"
Bob--I've also been wondering what polls Reid is referring to when saying that the majority of the public wants a public option. I haven't seen them and if it isn't true then why isn't anybody calling him on it?
I've emphasized one aspect of fascism -- its objective of the forcible suppression of opposition. But it also qualifies under the other elements, including the suppression of private enterprise and putting it under centralized government control. That is one hallmark of the Obama Administration, it expands government, contracts the private sector and places new and unprecedented power in the hands of a centralized, expanding government bureaucracy.
This government expansion also is a restriction of our freedom because as the government gets bigger, the individual citizen gets smaller. Consider some of the belief systems of his Czars. Ron Bloom, the manufacturing czar thinks the "free market is nonsense."
He also agrees with Chinese tyrant Mao Tse Tung that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Anita Dunn, a communications director, also a big fan of Mao, expresses those views even when speaking to young students. And there is Mark Lloyd, Chief Diversity Officer at the FCC, who views tyrant Hugo Chavez in Venezuela as his model. The White House is brimming with socialists, communists, radicals and hate-America types. The only ideology not found there is one that respects American values and believes in American exceptionalism.
Nancy Pelosi is a billionaire and where did she get all that money by boondoggling the tax payers, so why is she reference Insurance companies? I haven't seen her distributing her wealth nor any of her comrads in arms sharing their wealth with the poor to bring them up to Nancy P. and comrades level-equality in arms-she needs to be a good and donating role model. The problem here is do as I say not as I do. There won't be any jobs-so no money-no progress-marxism/socialism won't survive.
To LOL---Do you ever think about what you are saying? Do you seriously believe that a 2.2 % profit margin is over the top? Do you expect companies to run a business for nothing? I agree that preexisting conditions need to be covered as long as a person didn't wait to get insurance until there was a problem (they could afford it but didn't get it), yet blaming the insurance companies for everything is ridiculous. I wonder what the profit is for Pelosies company???
I think it will pass the House with no repub vote. Pass the Senate with no more than 3 repub vote. This is and will be all on the libs. Would be nice if we'd concentrated on the real crisis of jobs. Obi's people say unemployment won't be back down under 6% for a decade.
I'm scared, Harry Reid says that the polls show the majority of American favor the public option. What polls is he talking about. would someone please ask him...
WHAT IS IT with the Democrat-Socialists ? When Clinton was elected, the first thing he / Hillary did was try to force us into socialized "healthcare". Now, here we go again with O'BabbleCare. The answer is that it's not about healthcare at all, it's about the federal government gaining control over ever increasing parts of the economy and our lives. Don't sit on your hands while the Democrats rip our country apart, call your rep. TODAY !
I think it is going to pass just like they want it to, even with the government option. However, if the unemployment keeps rising, which I anticipate happening since Obama's trying to make us a "banana republic," I don't see it being a problem. By the time he finishes, nobody is going to have a job, and you can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
