Health Care Reform thread

[Rome]

I'm sure it escaped you but that was exactly my point.  Being forced into purchasing health insurance when people barely have enough money to scrape together to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads is preposterous.

Obama won't allow that.   If he did he would guarantee himself a crushing defeat in '12.

[PhillyGirl]

I guess we won't have a choice like he's been saying we will, all along.

I'm sorry, was it OBAMA who proposed this?

Thats what I thought.

I wonder if it's possible to have an adult conversation on an internet message board.


The fact that I'm asking that question makes me want to kill myself and all of you. But mostly all of you.

"At least 44 more moderate Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record in opposition to the current health care bill in the House, a Hill source claims. Likewise, at least 57 liberal Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record saying they will vote against a health care bill without a strong public option.

Unless multiple Democrats flip on their stated position on health care, Speaker Pelosi lacks the votes to pass a bill through the House on the strength of Democrat votes alone."

Not looking good.

[ATV]

Not looking good for the insurance industry.

I hope many Repubelicans learned where they can put their trigger option tonight.

[rjs246]

Um, the trigger option is a great compromise you farging whack job.

Excellent rebuttal.  That's a yahoo fact check showing how ridiculous some of his assertions were.  And how did we go from 47 million to 30 million?? And how is it deficit neutral??? Great campaign speech tonight... except he isn't running for president anymore.

I'm very much looking forward to sharing my large red-colored FAIL! with Bowzer within a few months. The same one I happily shared with a few others last November.

Because his initial numbers included illegal residents. This number did not.

I reiterate. You're beyond retarded.  You are so far right, you can't even hear anything in the middle. Its out of reach. You get bits and pieces and whatever you can't grasp, you twist to hear what you want.

Joe Wilson launched himself into conservative hero status last night with his heckling of Obama.

What a maroon. Have a farging shred of respect for the President.

[Diomedes]

F the President, have a shred of respect for something far more important to civilization: the principle of mannerly debate.
