House Dems unveil health bill, cheered on by Obama (AP)

AP - Cheered by President Barack Obama, House Democrats rolled out landmark legislation Thursday to extend health care to tens of millions who lack coverage, impose sweeping new restrictions on the insurance industry and create a government-run option to compete with private insurers. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

Oh, how I wish the idiot Democrats would read these messages. I wish they would take their health insurance bill and use it for toilet paper - should last them a few months! In other words stick it where the sun don't shine. What a bunch of non-Americans - socialist pigs! Head'n the way of Nazi Germany!

If this passes and there is an 'opt out' clause, no state will be able to exercise the option because the feds will make an impossible set of rules in order for them to do that.

Michael Moore is a punk! And a liar!!! Here is a question for Mr Moore. Well if this public option goes thru? Will he lose weight? Because hey, he is too FAT to be insured by the Govt standards. And I guess he will have to diet! Or wait in line for treatment if he gets sick!! Yeah this is a great bill?!!!! Anyone that supports a Public option? Are plainly INSANE!

The U.S. healthcare system is the world's costliest; the country spends some $2.4 trillion a year on health care. It leaves an estimated 48 million people uninsured, and many others lack adequate insurance.

FACT: 45,000 Americans DIE every year due to lack of health care and the GOP just says NO to any reform.

Support the private insurance company's death panels.
Vote Republican.

The Obamanation Plan (cont):

On the surface it appears that President Obama has the best intentions for us, but underneath we get the largest socialist program run by his buddies in the world.

Bill H.R.3200 or any plan that contains a public option or a trigger for a public option MUST BE DEFEATED AT ANY COST!!

ANY COST!!

So the Obamanation plan is simply this: Nationalize Health Care and steal the business for his friends. This is exactly what Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Castro in Cuba did to their countrymen.

Free Health Care sounds great until you find out how much it costs.

(End)

It hasn't passed yet and if it does it won't go into effect until 2013 thats 3 years after all who vote for it will be unemployed and a year after Obama is defeated in his run for a second term it will be repealed. Oh and good luck taxing the rich. That would include all politicians.. These people on capital hill have forgotten the US is a mighty big place with alot of people living in it.

Are you aware that the public option is a government-run, but not government-subsidized, choice for people who do not want or cannot get coverage from private insurers? That is all it is.
If you don't like it, you can stay with your current plan. But since it will have huge size and scope, as a national plan, it will have the power to negotiate lower prices from providers. That is why big Pharma and giant health corporations are against it. Do you really want to trust private insurance companies, and their death panels, to do the right thing?

Here we go again with the ranting about how the Dems our destroying our world. More like trying to set straight what Dubya did for the last 8 years chumming with his cronies in big oil with secret meetings and what not. But wait, you guys will say none of that happened because he is a good ol republican that can't do no wrong. Go ahead rant all you want but will do no good. And life will go on without you. Especially after this passes and flies off to make our nation the best place to be.

Forced sign-up. If the God damned thing was any good, you wouldn't mandate forced sign-ups.

This is nothing short of enslaving working Americans to pay for the fat lazy niqqers and the even fatter lazier illegal aliens and their jillion ninos.

If this doesn't preciptate a revolution to overthrow this eggplant liar, I don't know what will.

Don't kid yourself. The Dems will all fold and approve the bill. Some are merely posturing now to see how much more stimulus pork the Dems will give them for their votes. The liberals are using stimulus funds to buy health car bill votes. OUR tax dollars - given away behind closed doors away from media scrutiny. No transparency.

Again I ask, are doctors going to be allowed to charge patients for services in addition to the fees paid out by the govt.? Or are they locked in at the fee and unable to charge the patient extra?
If the docs can send a bill to your house for the "uncovered" portion of the bill, then what difference is there from what we have now?

Time for a class action lawsuit against these bozo's! Fines for people that refuse to purchase? BS!!!!!! These communists need to be voted out now!!!!! The only upside is for insurance companies who now have bought a huge new market through communistic politicians! Communism has never worked except to degrade and make citizens slaves to those in power!!! Revolt and overthrow this govt people.

Employers face penalties and this cuts into medicare... what a joke...

The penalties prescribed by the bill are so low that ALL employers will choose to pay the penalties over paying for health insurance for their employees

And this program will REPLACE Medicare anyway... Medicare is a geriatricly bias healthcare program, designed because no insurance company (in it's right mind) would give affordable healthcare to the elderly.

With the government taking over heathcare, the elderly would simply fall inline with all the rest of us...

They call it an "option" but there will be no option, "all people" will be required to buy something... all employers will opt for the penalty price, no insurance company will be able to compete with the government's low cost "option" so All people will be on the governments plan....

THE PERFECT BACKDOOR TO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!!

DEMS IS EVIL...
