Another talking points Democrats should be repeating:

Republicans complain that premiums will go up under the Democrats' health care reform. What they aren't being asked about is how much more premiums will go up if we do nothing.

change the rules of the senate or start attacking the repubs and shew the public what idiots they are.

this needs to be done quickly before the giant corps flood the market with money,

if this is done quickly it can null the effects of the huge amount of corporate cadh.

Hodes is absolutely right. Obamacare WOULD create jobs - on death panels and in the bureaucracy.

Is that the America we want?

Obamacare WOULD create jobs - on death panels and in the bureaucracy.

And many more jobs will be created when we fully staff administrators and guards for the FEMA concentration camps to which Al and his friends will soon be sent.

.

It is a question of morality, too. Of government assisting the most vulnerable to achieve something that is a right and whose denial because of illness or money is immoral. Not taking over, just helping the system along.

The Catholic Bishops were so concerned about the immorality of abortion that they intervened strongly when HCR looked like a done deal. Where are the fine gentlemen now that the far greater immorality of denying universal care looms?

Pass.The.Damn.Bill.

Don't worry Al, Obama has a long way to go compared to your war crimminal Bush adding 168,000 new bureaucratic employees to the executive branch since 2001. You're still being duped.

“The best things in life are free.”

The Democrats have to regain their voice and take over the message, something Dems have NEVER been good at.

We need to become more assertive about getting out the right facts.

Sigh, sigh, sigh...I've been wishing for this for years...

According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, most Americans don't know anything about health care reform except what the media and the Republicans have been saying. They don't knowit has insurance exchanges, they don't know it provides tax credits to small businesses, they don't know it reduces the deficit, and they don't know it'll stop insurance company abuses such as denying coverage for pre existing conditions.

Health care money spent right will be used to hire health care workers-- putting the money directly back into the local economy. It's a very effective way to fight unemployment.

New slogan:
HCR- No insurance company left behind.

Those were the jobs you were talking about right?

Stay with me a second. This bill will not restrain premiums, it will cause them to explode. That's not a question it's a fact. Don't believe me?

Here's the situation you are forcing the american people to be a captive market of an incredibly unethical business. Under penalty of law they have to buy the product no matter how bad it is. That creates a huge incentive for the insurance companies to jack up the rates, what do they lose? There's no significant competition between insurance companies and will be less once they know for a fact that you have no alternative.

But what about the cost controls in the bill you cry? Those rely on government enforcement which means first the insurance company screws you and refuses to pay. Then, while you;re dealing with the medical repercussions, you have to get the government to take the matter up. Maybe a year later the matter first gets to court at which point the insurance company lawyer sandbags and delays. Couple years later you get a verdict and then starts the appeals. Meanwhile you're bankrupt and homeless. Within 4 years there's a presidential election and about a 50-50 chance the GOP wins and all of a sudden the government lawyer isn't taking your calls and the case evaporates. So you try to get another lawyer but it's the same deal. Or maybe the Dems win and they give some half hearted funding to the DoJ department that handles your case, but because now every american is a subject of the insurance company fiefdom there are about 1000 of these cases every month and the government lawyers simply cannot keep up. Particularly not when the dem politiicians are telling them to go easy because you see we have an election in a year's time and the insurance companies (thanks to the extra tens of billions of dollars brought in each year now) are easily the biggest campaign contributors (thanks SCOTUS!).

That's how this plays out. The regulations are a joke. A really bad one with a lethal punch line.

I am an RN....I see patients on Medicare supplements as almost all m-care patients have to have one. We pay m-care all of our lives..and turn around and pay $99 dllars a month for this atrocity called an insurance plan from our SS check...if a person gets $900 in SS/&99 is taken off the top..again..no choice and it has no prescription coverage and pays 80% sposedly of all else/which is not true.
The company I work for is folding on Friday due to m-care cuts. This company is in 5 states so thousands of HC related personel witl be out job hunting..or on unemployment. No one is hiring unless absolutely crucial due to fear of reimbursement at his point.
So we have reached the era of HC professionals like nurses getting unemployment checks. There r no jobs here but travel jobs I see here and there online. If I have to, I will do so. I will work night shift in a place where I know no-one. I just now realize HC workers will be hit very hard for a lil gain.
Patient care cuts..to me bing in HC 25 years..mean we pay more money in taxes,..cos these cuts will cause more frequent hospital stays
