Who wants 50% down? The doctors! The Providers!
We need to level the target on the people who control the cost, not on the easy target that politicians like to waggle in our faces.
Important quote to place the onus on the correct people who are withholding care:
Steny Hoyer: “A woman that I know well, she called me up and said ‘Steny, I was just diagnosed with a tumor. And I’ve got to be operated on, I don’t have insurance. My husband makes 28,000, and I make about 5,000. We’re making to much for Medicaid, and we’re going to the University of Maryland Hospital. They want 50 percent down of a 25,000 dollar bill.”
I’m not too sure if increasing competition between the private sector without a public option will bring down prices and costs enough so that all Americans can afford to get health care.
To me it all sounds like there will have to be some hefty subsidization of public plans and some hefty budget deficits, like the way Medicare and Medicaid is heading.
Why are they sitting here talking about how “small businesses have dropped coverage”…when healthcare SHOULDN’T be attached to employment in the first place!
What a Nixonian idea!
Are the Republicans Nazi’s now,referring to Boehner as “leader”? jeve
I am a republican. After seeing this debate, I see that the Republican leadership is not trying to help the American people be insured. As a republican, I am going to vote for Obama in the next election and a democrate in the next congress elections.
I am ashamed with the republican leadership that puts insrance companies before the American people. Shame on them.
I think it’s a very important point that Rep. Miller makes about the way healthcare locks people into employers that they may or may not want to be with. With healthcare reform people would have more freedom to move from one employer to the next.
Actually, Obama did this at the request of the Republican party, when he granted this request, they called it a trap. As far as corruption, look at the Republicans protecting all the helpless multi-millionaires, exactly what does Obama have to personally gain from this?
Also, misspelled Socialism.
These people are not being killed. They are sick and passing away. It’s called the circle of life simba.
Define socialism. Without misspelling.

Educate yourself before sharing your enlightening opinions.
for a politcal junkie like me this is just so much fun to listen to

1. Take a remedial spelling class.
2. How does that teeny tiny, itsy bitsy, eeeensy weeeensy brain of yours generate enough energy to keep that saurupod body of yours in motion?
My name is Eric Pearson, and I am a Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.
Now ask yourself this one question:
Is passing the health care bill about the aspirations of Obama and the progressives (a/k/a – socialist) within the Democratic Party, or the American people?
PISS OFF
offense should be taken
Oh, boy! I had to wait a long time to hear Dr. Coburn talk with common sense about where the pork is in the existing health care system.
That was either hilarious or I just lost hope for humanity.
So wait…the GOP wanted Obama to write up a small plan highlighting what he would like to discuss, and use it as a branching point for discussion and reform to the bill. THEN, when everyone convened for this discussion, the GOP AGAIN wants him to scrap the deal? The Republican party seems to be running around, purposefully sending the whole issue in circles so nothing gets done.
The government should protect its people from both foreign and domestic threats.
The most important job of the government is to keep its citizens safe. We have regulations preventing toxic substances in our food and water, lead paint and asbestos in our houses, dumping of hazardous waste. Here is an industry that causes the death of over 40,000 a year by refusing health insurance. Saying the government should stay out or we dont have the money to fix it baffles me. If al qaeda caused the death of a tenth of this a year, would you use the same argument?
yes the people are opposed to this current bill. and why is that the case? because it has been watered down to the degree that most of its potential is gone. people are opposed to that current bill while at the same time being for the public option. who were the ones watering it down? it was the gop. and of course the dems letting it happen… why are people lying all the time.
uhh. the commies are takin’ over. It iz time to get der arse under fire from ourz goonz.
Socializm iz bad.
A good way of preventing acute astma is exposing the children to filthy and dusty environments, cuz that strengthens their immune system
08:40 I thought it was the Yemenite people they were representing
It’s funny how you deliberately misspell SOCIALISM, the very thing you caps lock. No offense
Why won’t Obama answer the questions about special interest states? He responds everytime with “Look we can go back and forth here about philosophical differences all day….” But he will not talk about it. I want that shit out of the bill pls
