Obama's statements:
"I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its gross national product on health care, cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody."
And so Obama's objective is to destroy the 1,400 health insurance companies that pay $100 billion a year in taxes and employ 400,000 people while paying out 95% of all claims submitted the first time with no questions!
Rather then ask the question why do 90% of physicians surveyed say they submit nearly $850 billion a year in claims they would NOT have to but do so out of fear of lawsuits, Obama a lawyer protects the $270 billion a year lawyers make.

Proof that the "Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946" works as over all tort reform would work!

http://www.jacksonhealthcare.com/media/8968/defensivemedicine_ebook_final.pdf


-- Only 48% practice defensive medicine compared to 92% of non-government physicians.
-- 89% of physicians support a patient’s right to be compensated fairly for true negligence.

So if only 48% of government contracted physicians practice "defensive medicine" yet 90% non-govt. physicians do practice shouldn't that be proof that tort reform like what happened in 1946 would reduce the $850 billion a year insurance companies PAY OUT IN WASTED CLAIMS?

Do you understand? If government doctors don't practice "defensive medicine" because of the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act"... wouldn't the same principle hold true for true national tort reform?
Then instead of fearing lawsuits and sending claims for $850 billion a year to insurance companies that pay 80% of their premiums in claims... imagine if that was cut by 40% or reduced to $400 billion that insurance companies would pay!
Premiums by STATES' Insurance regulators WOULD GO DOWN! Insurance companies have to justify their premiums and if when reporting to states' regulators their medical liability ratio is dramatically reduced, so to would premiums.

AND not one insurance company would go out of business. EVERYONE of the 4 million that truly want and needed (NOT THE blown out of proportion 46 million that was made up number because 10 million were not citizens, 14 million qualified for Medicaid/SCHIP and 18 million don't WANT..leaving 4 million!)
Problem solved!!

But NO Obama must destroy American businesses!
Just like he now is destroying the coal industry!

In the brief, Mr. Laurence H. Tribe, a highly regarded scholar of constitutional law at Harvard Law School and a former mentor of Mr. Obama’s argued that Mr. Obama’s use of the existing Clean Air Act to put forth the climate change regulations was unconstitutional. He then echoed that position in an op-ed article in The Wall Street Journal. He argued that in requiring states to cut carbon emissions, and thus to change their energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable sources, the agency is asserting executive power far beyond its lawful authority.

Dear healthmyths
same with any policy enacted without full representation or consent of the citizens affected.
it is set up to go wrong.

as long as political conflicts of interest decide policy, well there you go.
Same with BOTH sides, BTW, the liberals equally complain when conservatives
pay their political pipers at the cost of taxpayers. The public gets screwed REGARDLESS who does the screwing.
 
Why does almost everything Obama touches end up being destroyed?

"Everything he touches" -- with which hand?
I hear it matters.
 
The economy is based on more than three decades of consumer spending and borrowing. Given that, it will not matter which political party is in control as Wall Street calls the shots.

Obama is left handed.
Business Etiquette in the U.A.E.
Always use the right hand. Among Muslims, the left hand is reserved for bodily hygiene and considered unclean.
The right hand should be used for eating, shaking hands, or handing over an item. -
Business Etiquette in the U.A.E. U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council

The unfavorable associations and connotations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied. In some areas, in order to preserve cleanliness where sanitation was an issue, the right hand, as the dominant hand of most individuals, was used for eating, handling food, and social interactions.
The left hand would then be used for personal hygiene, specifically after urination and defecation.
Currently, amongst Muslims and in some societies including Nepal and India it is still customary to use the left hand for cleaning oneself with water after defecating.
The right hand is commonly known in contradistinction from the left, as the hand used for eating.[20]
Bias against left-handed people - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

So you tell me whether in the religious fanatical countries that YOU obviously have immense admiration for do you think they would be happy
having the left-handed Obama handing them a drink with his left hand?
I am 100% confident that he is aware of that very dominant theocratic/ hygienic aspect of people you would prefer having world domination since you make fun of people like Netanyahu and call people who don't trust any country who's leader calls for the destruction of Israel... BUT Obama has no problem with them!!!

The Wall Street that was handed $58 billion/month?

The "party in control" drove interest rates to zero, leaving Wall Street the only haven for investors.

This Mother Scratcher is playing our Nation for a Nation of Fools.
 
Like the economy, Iraq, the income gap, jobs to China, 43,000 factories closed, HC number one cause of bankruptcy. Wait a second. All that happened under Bush and the GOP. Nevermind.

FACTS are hard to dispute but of course LIPs like you can't handle the below FACTS!!!!

That's right. 2.4 million jobs lost in 8 years can be directed attributed to China.
Since China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, 2.4 million jobs have been lost or displaced in the United States as a result of the burgeoning trade deficit with that nation . 26% of all trade job losses are high tech/high tech manufacturing jobs!
While global trade did collapse this recession, note the China PNTR (trade treaty) wasn't even signed until 2000, kicked in about 2002 and this study does not even cover this recession data.
2.4 million jobs lost due to China from 2001-2008 The Economic Populist
NOTE : WHO was President in 2000? NOT BUSH!!! William Jefferson Clinton!!!
It has been 10 years since the U.S. Congress and President Bill Clinton paved the way for China to enter the World Trade Organization (WTO). Most all of the predictions from those pushing the deal at the time have proven to be wrong, according to an analysis done by Robert Lighthizer, former deputy United States Trade Representative during the Reagan administration and head of the international trade department of the Washington firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & From LLP.

Bill Clinton, the country's most ardent booster of opening trade with China [thanks to Clinton's Chinese donations in exchange for missile information we have the FAMOUS Gorelick Memo that created the wall between FBI & CIA thus no knowledge of the 9/11 bombers shared with the FBI!!!], looks especially imprudent 10 years later. During a press conference on March 29, 2000, Clinton said that granting China permanent normal trade relations (PNTR), which allowed China to gain entry into the WTO, would be a great deal for America. "We do nothing," Clinton said. "They have to lower tariffs. They open up telecommunications for investment. They allow us to sell cars made in America in China at much lower tariffs. They allow us to put our own distributorships there. They allow us to put our own parts there. We don't have to transfer technology or do joint manufacturing in China any more. This a hundred-to-nothing deal for America when it comes to the economic consequences."
China s Entry Into The WTO 10 Years Later Is Not What President Clinton Promised


BUT under Bush, events that totally ignorant LIPs like you forget that NO other President in history had to face in their terms!
1) Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?
Source: USATODAY.com - It s official 2001 recession only lasted eight months

A Major $5 trillion market loss
2) Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

The worst attacks on the USA in History.. 3,000 deaths!!!
3)Obviously most of you are UNAWARE 9/11 cost 3,000 lives, $2 trillion in lost businesses,market values assets.
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York.
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Year 2001...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[1]

4) $1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Rank Disaster Year Deaths Damage* $250 Billion in damages in the 8 disasters of the top 15 disasters in history!
1. Hurricane Katrina (LA/MS/AL/FL) 2005 1833 $133,800,000,000
6. Hurricane Ike (TX/LA/MS) 2008 112 $27,000,000,000
7. Hurricane Wilma (FL) 2005 35 $17,100,000,000

As I said, we're looking at the effects of three decades of heavy borrowing and spending, especially consumer spending, involving both political parties.
 
Why does everything circle back to Bush.. The man hasn't been in office in some time. Why don't you lib boys call the farmer you got the dead horse from and let him know you're done beating it.
 
When it comes to liberals you are not dealing with sane people of good character. They lie, cheat, and back stab. They have no honor. They repeatedly blame others for their failures and routinely take the credit for other's success.

That recession doesn't even compare to the 2007-2009 crash. Not even close. And it is estimated up to $14 trillion was lost during the 2007-2009 crash.

It is very weird how you portray the 2001 recession as so horrible that it caused Bush to be fighting some severe headwinds during his presidency.

If so, then what kind of headwinds did the much, much greater 2007-2009 crash make for Obama?

So your argument against single payer is that you want to maintain the status quo as an excessively expensive make-work project for the health insurance industry?

lol good one.
