Congressional Democrats and Republicans gathered at Blair House for a discussion on health care legislation with President Obama. He first announced the idea for this event during a Super Bowl Sunday interview with CBS news Anchor Katie Couric. Since then, the President has released a health care plan drawing largely from two bills passed by House and Senate Democrats. We heard opening comments from the President and congressional leaders followed by discussions on health care costs, insurance reforms, deficit reduction and expanding coverage.
can you imagine Bush or Sarah Palin participating or conducting this kind of thing? they’d be so lost
Hey I understood your point and to some ledger agree. But I think what the President was trying to say, is that because of the busy schedules of our House Reps and Senators who spend their days reading legislation, attending town hall meetings, and of course being on the house or senate floor if needed. They also have a number of other things going on. I dont think the President in anyway intended to make our elected officials in anyway sound lazy. But in respect to your comment I understand.
Love the crazy doctor! Saw the show online at lastnightstvshows (.) com
Whats funny is that all these comments are made by the same 6-7 people.
republicans keep saying how america’s health care is the “best in the world”. maybe the doctors are the best, sure. but when you have 30 million people uninsured, premiums that cost more than any westernized country, and not caring for people with pre-existing conditions then please tell me how the heck is america’s health care the best in the world??
My daughter is suffering from 101 degree fever, you are telling me youre on a break!!!
To all parents, look into the eyes of your little girls and boys. Are you ready for socialized healthcare? 3-5 hours waiting time, toilet seats stain with feces, people coughing around your kids. Get the picture?

The Goverment also is to come out the a ban on sport fishing.
Just out today: Wall Greens will not take any NEW Medical precription because they are losing money on them.
New: The Bismarck Bribe
Dealmaking for Obambicare votes can involve matters either inside or outside the bill. The unveiling of the reconciliation bill today closes the window on the former, but not before one last outrage was performed:
A new element, included in the plan issued on Thursday, would give a specific right to the Bank of N Dakota to issue federally subsidized student loans, meaning that it would be the only lender remaining outside of the Education Depts direct-lending system
Pelosi just stated we need to pass the bill to see what’s in it. The very heart of the Republic is now in jeopardy. A singular,specific,proposed bill has very specific requirements for compliance/passage with the recording of members votes in both houses. No policies have ever been enacted without the passage of specific statutes. This is the greatest Constitutional crisis in our nations history, no laws, just tyrannical rule.
The unconstitutional implementation of this process is effectively imposing Marshall Law. We are looking at collusion between separate branches of government to conspire to circumvent the law. This is lawlessness of the highest order! Patriots be prepared!
I just heard a promotional piece encouraging New Yorker’s to support the soda tax, that’s right…the soda tax!
So, if you support a soda tax, you will make fat people skinny, ailing people healthy because you empowered the government to take more money out of your pocket! I thought doctors encourage healthy choices not the IRS?
Tell BO to stop smoking and the obese Surgeon General to drop 50 pounds and then come talk to me about a soda tax!
How sick in the head are these people? Do you see how many useful idiots buy this shit?
The utility company wants to put a “smart meter” on my house, the Feds bought my mortgage, what’s next? I need government to tell me what light bulb I can use, what toilet I can use, what temp to set my thermostat, what car I can drive?
This is about centralized power and control, not health care. Read the Constitution to your children and vote out all progressives before all liberty is eroded.
here is why i say your side thinks everything is fine with health care. you were in charge of everything for 6 years and no one even proposed ANYTHING to fix it. it wasn’t on the radar. even now, the repubs haven’t offered any serious plan. their only so-called proposal, according to the CBO, would actually increase the number of uninsured.
i wish obama HAD proposed single-payer. he didn’t. he still leaves the system in the hands of insurance cos, just more regulated.
@tishhead No, we don’t believe everything is fine with healthcare. We just believe that this will not fix the problem. Name one program that the government has run well without running it into the ground. They spent social security, they bankrupted Medicare and Medicade, and they barely run the Military right, thank God for our military leaders on that fact.
actually, you can’t prevent any deaths. you CAN delay them, which we do a lousy job of considering our resources. and what is your explanation for our infant mortality rate? i’m sure you have one because it can’t POSSIBLY be that the anyone does anything better than the US. unthinkable.
your side believes everything is fine with health care. as premiums go up 20-30 percent a year and more coverage is dropped and denied, you guys keep running on that platform.
@tishhead Who says we get lousey sesults. The Democrats that is who, no one else. If you look at studies, you will see that, if you take out deaths caused by old age or traffic accidents, we jump back up to the top of the ladder in the health of our nation vs. the other countries. Those are deaths you can’t prevent. Your statements are lies, simply because the people who you got your information from are pathological liars.
@timefordifference = funny thing is most people are actually happy with they’re elected officials. -And incumbents usually win…
interesting, all of my statements are lies, yet not a wisp of a thread of a molecule of evidence behind that. if you are maintaining that no one who pays premiums has gone bankrupt from health bills, good luck with that. a towering mountain of evidence says otherwise.
one of the huge things dragging down the prosperous country is health insurance. we pay the most of any industrialized country as a whole and we get lousy results. nice deal.
Oh really,
I can give you plenty of examples of hundreds of thousands of dollars paid out to people I know for health care. All of your statements are lies. I want to live in the free prosperous country my parents left me and leave the same country to my children.
so scott matheson, whom even right-wing gasbag orrin hatch says is an excellent choice, should be denied a deserved appointment because his brother is in congress? if a deal was made, that’s wrong and illegal but it’s a lot easier to say that than prove it. the guy is qualified and the brother, a dem who voted no, is an obvious choice for the administration to lobby.
private insurance doesn’t “produce” anything but profits. and, if by voluntary, you mean “in order to stay alive” then, yeah, i guess, it’s voluntary.
that said, the insurance cos. are there to make profit. that’s why it’s the govt’s job to regulate them.
do you really want to live in a country where you can have a job, pay insurance premiums and still be financially destoryed beyond repair simply because you got sick? maybe you do. i don’t.

BO’s health care bill is in such demand by the American people that he may be selling Judgeships for votes. BO invited ten senators to meet him at the White House including Jim Matheson of Utah who formerly voted against the bill .President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit at the same time he is meeting to do some good old fashioned Chicago thug style arm twisting.
The party of big government marches forward!
The evil insurance, health care, oil, auto, banks and finance companies etc. don’t take 50% or more of your income by threat of jail time. The evil private sector isn’t busy spending your money, your kid’s and grand kids money, piling on debt at an unsustainable rate. The private sector produces goods and services in exchange for money we voluntarily pay.
Demonize, then take control, confiscate
What’s next for the party of big government?
Without private property, there is no freedom.
