some town hall meeting a rep said how happy he was with medicare. Ok Mr. Rep every hospital has a VIP floor and the care is totally different from the other floors except for the units. There is often a very low nurse to patient ratio even for patients that do not require that medically. On the VIP floor there is always 1 nurse to four patients and there is always a nursing assistant for as low as 8 patients. Any rep is going to be on the VIP floor.
Maybe the dems should try and get a procedure or something authorized under medicaid and see how long it takes. Or show up at one of the few primary care offices that accept medicaid for adults and see how long the wait is just for a routine appointment. They shoudl schedule and see how long it takes to get that appointment too!

The President keeps telling us how well his plan will work without actually telling us how the plan will work.
He has no actual details of the plan he himself does not seem to have read.
His main argument seems to be to just let him create the biggest govt. program the country has ever seen just because he says it will work.

What it particularly funny is how he tries to demonize the critics of his non-plan plan as if they are all special interest plants like the ones he was using during his campaign. He also used his trusty strawman argument of “those who want to do nothing”
It is very condescending of him to tell people the bad things that they have all heard or read are just rumors and lies.

This is probably the first time in his political career that people are actually examining his words against reality and he is melting like a popsicle on an August sidewalk. It’s as if Obama cannot believe that his song and dance are not working anymore and starts dancing even faster.

Well played, sir.

msut be the name on the Long Form.

But in order to point it out, the Democrats will have to undermine their whole selling point for the plan. So I’m certainly not going to do it for them.

But only 8-10 days to school a new grave digger.

I still can’t believe how any reasonably intelligent person can listen to his blarney and bold faced lies? I live here in Chicago-land………where Chicago is called the “windy city” because of all the “windy politicians!” Even if you only listened to part of his inane boring blarney—-he contradicts himself all the time. Like today—-talking about the inefficiency of the post office for pete’s sake. And he’s telling all the drooling fools to dump our healthcare system and let the gov handle it? About the post office—-a couple weeks ago I went to the local post office to mail a large envelop. While waiting in line—I noticted that the envelop seal was opening up. So, when I got up to the postal clerk—-I asked him if he had a piece of tape. And, seriously, he says, “mam, we don’t give tape away, we sell it!” And, the Obama droolers are wanting government workers like this moron to take over our healthcare? God help us!

JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY THIS BILL SHOULD BE THROWN OUT

Panel sees race bias in health care bill

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/aug/11/panel-sees-race-bias-in-health-care-bill/

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights says some little-noticed provisions in the House health care bill are racially discriminatory, and it intends to ask President Obama and Congress to rewrite sections that factor in race when awarding billions in contracts, scholarships and grants.

The commission also fears the programs, which are designed to improve health care in underserved areas, will not be effective.

In a draft of a letter the commission approved Friday, the group raises constitutional questions about giving preferential treatment to minority students for scholarships, and about favoring medical schools and organizations that have a record of sending graduates to areas with inadequate health care services.

“These programs are unlikely to reduce health care disparities among racial and ethic groups,” according to the draft letter obtained by The Washington Times. “A growing body of evidence indicates that increasing access to high-quality physicians - whatever their racial or ethnic ancestry - is the best way to mitigate such disparities.”

He is not the one who is writing this bill. He has farmed it out to the Democrats in congress, the same old weaselly politicians who write the same old garbage. Obama is simply the salesman in chief of this clunker. He is lying through his teeth when he says that this bill won’t do this or will do that. He has let congress write the bill and he has basically voted present like he always has done throughout his political career. Even if you believed that Obama is different from all other politicians before him, can you seriously believe that that the old fogies in the Democratic leadership of Congress are different? They, not Obama, have written this bill.

So few things will be covered that folks will not have to wait in line.

Disillusionment will be rampant, such that folks will not bother to wait in lines.

Obama is correct.

There will be no lines.
