No one, leftie or rightie, can buy that with a straight face. We're in the middle of one of the worst economic climates in history, and all of a sudden, He's found almost a trillion dollars to spend on his latest pet project?

I'm sorry....this is a grenade that's going to blow up in the face of Axelrod and Obama. If we were in economically flush times, it might sell...

But the fact that he came out and said "don't worry, tax payers, this wont cost you a 'dime'," (his words not mine), "We've got enough inefficiency and fraud to pay for almost all of it"

Can you imagine if this were a kid going "Mommy, I am going to buy a playstation!" Mom responds "You don't have the money, son!" Junior responds "Yes I do, I've been stealing it from your purse for the past year!" Mommy wouldn't respond with thunderous applause and praise. She'd ground him....

He'll find it between the same sofa pillows where Bush found the $ to fund the 2 wars we're currently fighting :wink: Only difference is O's money will be used to save lives 8)

people die undernationalised healthcare schemes when resources get scare. It happens in Britain. no ones life will saved under govt healthcare.
not only this , but the world leading R&D that the US funds will get stifled. This too wil cost lives. No one's life will get saved here..

Then you have to factor in potential Dr's and RN's who'll go into another field to make some coin.

Yup, the Canadians coming over from Windsor seem to think so. THEY don't have insurance here. Same with all the Canadians going to Cleveland for hip and knee replacements.

Isn't it true that all people die eventually? In Britian they're just shown the door prematurely.....for the state of course.

The Canadians that come cross the boarder here have the $$$$.... much like those from here who dont have the $$ and move over there. Besides, the plan isnt to soclize the health care like Canada or GB. It is to give people a chance to still carry insurance even if they lose their job or change jobs.,...
Of course, you would assume that its all about socialism, considering your source of knowledge, Limbaugh.... :?

You do realize that it's the Gov't that encourages insurance be tied to jobs right? They do this now through tax exemptions for corporations, and the tax code punishes individuals by denying them the same tax breaks.
Of course you already know this because you watch ABCNBCCBSCNN...right?

It is about socialism and control.

Listen
Youre not happy Obama is in the office, tough shit.... your bitching and moaning and complanings wont be heard , cause no one cares.
Just the same way that people bitched about how Bush ran this country, no one will listen .
Obama is bringing some fresh ideas to the table, something Bush never did.
And if you honestly think that there isnt anything wrong with our health care system, then youre more delusional than the dude that thought Croatia invented the pencil ;) :lol: ..
If its broken and someone is trying to make an attempt to fix it, sit back and give him a chance to at least try before you go all crazy and putting him down.... worse come to worse it aint gonna be anyhting as bad as what Bush did to this country the last 8 years.....

And I watch any of those networks before I give a chance to Limbaugh to brainwash me...

Bottom line, Obama is the president and he can and will do what it takes to turn things around, regardless of your opinion,,, You should just hope that he doesnt get a second term in, or it may push you to jump off the Ambassador Bridge ;)

Yeah, if I need a triple bypass, I want someone who makes $17.50 an hour performing it. Of course I would want him performing it BEFORE he heads off to his other job at Home Depot!!! :lol:

I can assure you that those that do it "mainly because of the money" are quickly weeded out-and if they are not weeded out in school-it becomes obvious in their practice-the nurses have a hard time keeping a job because of their attitude and the doctors have a hard time keeping patients because of their attitude.....most usually migrate out of the business of taking care of people-and into the business of making money by moving away from caring for the sick and moving toward caring for those with money....they often do this by shifting their practice to cosmetic procedures such as botox, in office liposuction...etc..they weed themselves out eventually.

Bingo!
So then we dont have to worry about them as Redwingfan suggested we would.... 8)

And I do honestly believe that someone with a second job at HomeDepot could help out Redwingfan with his problems,,,, :twisted:

LOL, keep letting Fox feed you GOP scare tactics. You speak as if Canadians hate their system. Have you not seen news about thousands of Americans taking buses to Canada weekly to purchase affordable medication? That too is health care, and the notion that you all here think Canada's system sucks is hilarious. Canada has the best H/C in the world, period.

Incorrect. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) prevents a hospital from asking any questions regarding payment until a medical screening examination has been performed by a qualified medical professional, and any necessary stabilizing treatment has been given for any person presenting requesting treatment for an emergency condition or if they think the may be in labor.

He rightfully called the republicans liars and indirectly, Palin as the biggest fraud of them all(you get that?). Then a SC bozo yells out Liar, and all Hell has broken out yet again in the GOP. Just when they thought they weren't dead anymore, boom! Back in the box. Hahahahaha, fuck em. They are so embarrassing.


Of course he is going to get a bounce...every President does when he has a "chat" with Congress....it will be gone by early next week, and drop further after.

I do agree the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot, especially with a rude interuption like that from Representative Wilson.

Where does he think he is the UK?

The fact that Obama is in office is not what I'm unhappy about. What I'm unhappy about are his actions that will result my family in losing our health coverage.

They're not fresh ideas. They're ideas that have been proven to fail repeatedly across the world.
Behshad wrote:And if you honestly think that there isnt anything wrong with our health care system

There are things wrong with the health care system, that I mentioned in that previous post. Remember, how gov't encourages insurance be tied to jobs and punishing individual purchasers...remember that fact that you chose to ignore?
There's that and also gov't regulations that forbid buying insurance across state lines. That would do a world of good in bringing down prices. But it's not about bringing down prices, like I said....it's about control!!!

Here in this country my opinion does matter because of my representatives in D.C. Though he's working on changing it, this isn't yet the third world dictatorship that you wish it was.

Yo dickweed. Do you know that some 95% of all medical and new drug research is done here in the US? And that the Canadian government forces the manufacturer to sell to them at a certain price, usually at a loss, so they make it up by higher prices here.

So WE are paying for the cheaper drugs in Canada via higher prices.

If they regulated drug costs here in the US they way they do in other countries that would mean the end to that research.

You really are amazing, you get all emotional, but have no real idea of WHY things works the way they do in the world at large.

For ONCE, just once, read the small print and dig beyond what Dead Fish Rahm Emanuel and the liberals are feeding you, because it isn't based on fact, it's based on emotion and designed to stir people up, but is usually very light on the facts.

HOOOOH! You mean the FOX that had Joel Axelrod on after the speech last night? Yeah...really an unfair network :roll:

Now....CNN....THERE's a fair network:
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/20 ... bama-plan/
The sample of speech-watchers in this poll was 45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican. Our best estimate of the number of Democrats in the voting age population as a whole indicates that the sample is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole.

Dr. Anne Doig, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association, said her country’s health care system is “sick” and “imploding,” the Canadian Press reported.

LOL, keep letting Fox feed you GOP scare tactics.

Dude, I work 48-56 hours a week and go to school 12 hours a week and take care of my 3 yr old while the wife is working. When the hell am I supposed to find time to watch Fox News????

Then why is fixing their health care system always one of the main issues come election time?

That's because we do the Research and Development on the drugs Dean...we've been over this before. US patent laws don't apply to them.

And they don't have a military that could fight off Grenada. They can't afford one.

What a lie. Ever sit in a Public Hospital ER? How can you spew that nonsense?


Before they even TALK to you, even if youre dying, they will have you fill out 10 forms so they can find out who is paying the bill.

Incorrect. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) prevents a hospital from asking any questions regarding payment until a medical screening examination has been performed by a qualified medical professional, and any necessary stabilizing treatment has been given for any person presenting requesting treatment for an emergency condition or if they think the may be in labor.



Beat me to it. GMTA.

:wink: I live it EVERYDAY~considering I am one of the qualified medical professionals that I referred to. :wink:

well I guess theyre not that good in following those laws in my area, as Ive seen it over and over again happen here. Last I went there with major pain and what turned out to be a kidney stone, they wouldnt even let me sit on the damn bed before I had filled out all the forms with my info and my insurance info....

There is reality and then there is Fox & radical right wingnut talking heads on the radio brain washing and draining all common sense out of their listeners.

I do agree the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot, especially with a rude interuption like that from Representative Wilson.




Bull, Libs had no quarrels when the Dems booed Bush during The SOTU 2005 address. Joe Wilson is my hero today.


OF COURSE NOT...that is my whole point. Conservatives need to things BETTER than the liberals. In their conduct, in their ideas and everything.

Stooping to the level of the competition doesn't bring them up, it drags you down.

Were you in a hospital or urgent care? Did you read everything you signed and did one of those forms happen to be a form to waive your right to a medical screening exam? In an urgent care setting they can offer a waiver of medical screening exam so that every person that presents to be seen with a sore throat doesn't have to be rushed back-they give the patient the opportunity to declare that they do not feel that their condition is life threatening. I suppose I would need to know much more about your particular case in order to tell you if they violated EMTALA or not.....
