heckling a woman in a wheelchair
A wheelchair is great for the sympathy vote.
WHY, because the women has a rational fear of losing her health insurance and once that happens she won't be able to get another other!
My father is an insurance agent, he specializes in group plans. He told me that for small businesses, one sick employee raises the rates enormously! Many employers come to him and say they want to drop their coverage and try to get coverage for the sick employee knocked out of the plan. Now that sick employee must get some type of private plan. However, the private plan either has a preexisting condition rider or is so expensive no person could afford it.
This woman has real fears that she wouldn't if there was a public option!
Why is the public option such a threat to the private insurance companies? I mean if the public option is so bad, why would someone switch to it? I mean I am not going to switch to it, if my private insurance is better! No one will! Here is what is happening. The insurance companies with their unlimited resources are blitzing the public. They are spending millions upon millions of policy holder's premium dollars to shoot down the public option, because they don't want the competition, which will (1) cut into their profits, (2) keep them honest, and (3) finally provide a legit alternative to the insurance companies bull shit policies!
It amazes me how people can stand up for the insurance companies! These are companies that actually create more waste for the healtcare industry that the government will do! What is it $0.25 of every premium dollar goes to administration. Doctor's offices need extensive administration staff to deal with the insurance companies. Doctor's need internal collections. Insurance companies spend millions on PR and lobbying the government! The government always wastes things, but the insurance do more of there share of it! If they didn't then why are our healthcare costs per capita the largest in the world?
It is wrong whoever does it. Right now it is primarily right wing zealots who have talking points sent to them by groups led by men like Dick Armey that tell them to shout down the speaker. This is not about free speech, it is about supressing free speech that favors any of the Obama or left healthcare points.
Go back to the 2000 election when the RNC sent paid staffers to beat on the doors of the vote counters pretending they were unhappy Floridians. It is about intimidation. The kind I hear the right piss and moan about with ACORN>
Please pose any talking points like this that dems have sent out for these town hall meetings.
When Steele got a question from a student, he was sarcastic and put her down. This from the man who said the left was picking on the right wing protestors.
The RNC has no plan or platform right now except to obstruct and stop the left from accomplishing any positive goals.. Their party is more important than any benefit the American people might get. Later they will scream and shout that the Dems didn't accomplish anything.
I am pissed at the left for not getting right back in their faces at these meetings and tell them to talk as adults or shut the fuck up.
For years and years the right has been rallying that seniors hate medicare and we need to do away with it. Now during this debate we hear how much in fact seniors love and rely on medicare! Now the right is exploiting that fact! Get the fact straight, medicare is a form of socialized medicine. But the right and insurance companies rally the elderly by stating Obama will take away your medicare with socialized medicine. You know those death panels that don't exist and won't exist, they'll kill you!
Come again! Saying no to socialized medicine, because of a medicare (a socialized medicine program) would go away and people love it! Amaziing the logic in this thinking!
Bullshit.
I have seen many who when asked about medicare they dont even seem to know its a public program.
77% of medicare recipients are happy with their coverage
Americans pay higher taxes and......
go fuck yourself, you lying hack.

I wouldn't say they love Medicare. They tolerate it because that is the system that is in place. Most usually have supplemental care.

Does anyone get that taxes are a NECESSARY EVIL. Sure everyone hates them, but there are things that only gov can do, and frankly speaking, in very many things, the gov is the lesser evil......
We have had this issue of taxes carped about forever, but frankly speaking, the laws of this country, and the taxes that support them are all that stands between the MAJORITY and utter misery.
