He wants people to see it. Nobody is watching those other networks. Itz sad to say but Fox quadruple other news networks in ratings. He should have started on Fox to have a broader audience. Now the majority of Americans have already formed their opinions.
Why isnt the Prez listening? When he couldnt pass the public option, he should have stepped back because that's what he ran on. This new intrusion HC bill is a farce of overspending and DOES NOT guarantee coverage for all.
Wow unbelieveable, 5,000 views and only 15 comments but as I look around this site I see 80,000+ views, 100+ comments on some celeb story. You guys can't even comment on a bill that so flawed and outright bs. Obama (well his masters in the fed reserve) will bankrupt this country and pave the way for Goverment control of our lives. You people seriously need to take a look at this bill for yourselves you will be surpised by it. It might even scare you.
The whole HC debate is tiring. The bill is basically coporate welfare. It basically gives them the power to do whatever the hell they want as long as they don't turn us away for pre-existing conditions.
It's extremely unwise to trust large, secretive powerful governments. It's JUST as unwise to trust large, secretive powerful corporations. NONE of them have the intrest of the public at heart.
@TARDnis The Prez has already chosen the latter for us so STFU. Less than perfect is an understatement. Most of the benefits dont kick in until 2017. It WILL bankrupt the country. It cripples social security. It intrudes on the American people free will liberties. It taxes us to death and it doesnt cover everyone
In a way I want him to pass it to see him take his lumps as the worst President of all time
ROYALGIRL: I dont know why people have this all of a sudden complete blind faith trust in government. Politicians only cater to their special interest groups and the Prez is no different ------------------ I agree. Which is why I don't politicians should exist in the first place. But that's another discussion ;)
the_misses: And if the US offers any type of rationized HC it should be very basic, F the illegals~ let them get their own HC, forget tax payers funding abortions. This should be a simple plan. ------------------ You're joking right? This is Democraps & Redumplicans we're talking here. Everything is yell and blame instead of actually getting something done. LOL

-These people have no clue whats going on and I doubt took so much as a glance at this bill.
TARDnis - Childish coon cock fighting with blind undying trust in a politician solely because he's black DaGUMP - Too busy trying to see whos a CRACKA The rest - co signers who dont know SHAT
Basically the blind leading the retarded
the_misses Flag post Fox is helping him out
This shows how fair and balanced Fox truly is. They are allowing him on because they are open to hearing his side and he is delighted to be on Fox because they are the number 1 cable news channel.
Obama cant deny that picking a fight with Fox was a bad idea. Thats why he wants to make nice now. I commend Fox for having him on so close to a vote. Unlike Obama they have trust in the American people to listen and decide for themselves
Like someone above said " They will pass this bill no matter what " Ask yourself why are they pushing so hard to pass this bill, threatening their own party with no support, and Possibly using a low grade Tactic (deem and pass), it's legal but low grade none the less? Best thing to do is, when Nov comes around vote everyone out that voted "yes" for this bill. It might be to late, but It'll definitely send a message.
dagreat1 I will try to understand this.. What your trying to say is that people can't afford gas, how can they afford healthcare without reform? Noone isn't saying we don't need health reform, we do, but this bill gives to much goverment control over out lives. We don't need big goverment in our lives even more then it is now. What obama needs to do is figure out how to get people to work so they can afford health care. We're in a 12trillion dollor hole printing money that isn't even there. We need to start cutting into this nation debt before the dollar is really worthless
@MEME222 Why do u think TenSHATS and Dagay1 are so quiet today? They know this bill isnt anywhere near what the Prez was promising on the campaign trail. He went from HC for all to taxes for all. HE FAILED. U DO KNOW THAT RIGHT?
Governments come and go but I assure u the voice of American people will be the last voice heard in this debate. Don't count us out so soon
@MEME222 Do u just want a government handout? I think u are going to be very disappointed when things dont go as u thought. READ THE BILL
Do u just want the Prez to pass ANYTHING to act like a winner on MTO? The Public Option would have made him a hero. U know what he looks like now to the majority of Americans BUSH. Another back room dealing, greedy, corporate tied unwilling to listen bully politician. This is bigger than party lines and tea parties. Educate urself
He keep talking about u get to keep ur own doctor. The truth is some Doctors would rather quit than deal with this disaster so that is not true.
How many Doctors now accept Medicaid/Welfare Insurance??? VERY FEW. The good Doctors dont. The ones who do be in some clinic type environment with a packed waiting room halfway across town. Most Doctors offices dont want to deal with that because it over loads the Physicians. It's not that many PCP's to begin with.
The Prez solution to that is financial forgiveness for medical students who go into private care. One of the lowest pay grades of doctors. Thats why itz so few most people who go to medical school want to make the big bucks not be a missionary slave for the government. Look at Canada's HC system. If u try to make a appointment. They will say we got an opening April 2011 with a straight face. Get ready
People comes here for health care geniuses
@stnmtndude I dont want him to fail either. I want to be an Obamabot because he represents all of us but I can not support this "lets try it and see how it turns out" policy making when itz my money, health and future of my family is on the line. The full benefits dont kick in until 2017. Obama making sure hes well out of dodge but until then we gon be paying for something and getting nothing. Thanks Prez
i'm convinced obama does not want to run for reelection. this is it for him and he's working on his legacy. this bill is not about the american people, it's all about saving his presidency. he doesn't care how many congressmen and senators lose their jobs over this. it's all about him. no other president has ever forced an unpopular bill on the american people smh.
@dagreatasshound
My point was that med students are NOT rushing into "private practice" as it is WITH NO GOVERNMENT INTRUSION but the Prez think offering financial reimbursements is going to get people into that field. A field that most doctors dont want to go into in the first place.
My other point was among the PCPs already out there VERY FEW accept medicaid to NOT deal with the government bs. They will quit so unless u are responding to my points buzz off. I dont have time to go back and forth with ur stupid azz about ur deflective nonsense babble. I am obviously talking way over ur head
@dagreatasshound
Correction
If Medicaid was so good why so few doctors accept it? Thats like saying to a landlord. If u accept section 8 u get paid on time ok so why dont every landlord accept section 8? Because it a nightmare of red tape, rules AND OUTSIDE INTRUSION. Apply that analogy to what u just said
dagreatasshound Docs..dont like it cause they cant overbill like they do insurance
-Then the Prez should have focused on that if that was the the main issue. Not overhaul the whole system. What does it matter why they will quit? We still going to be out doctors in an already tight knit field. Whats going to happen in the 7 years until this thing fully kicks in effect?
@dagreatboogieeater
fuk a happy American. The motto of the demorats and this administration and I dont see people praising Bush in the streets so stop acting like people are treating him like a hero. You talk about Bush and Palin, Rush and all those people who dont matter more than anybody else on this website. I think u secretly want to be white
dagreatkoolaidpourer Flag post cause the people rather keep it as it is where they file bankruptcy when they cant pay their medical bills
-No one on here said to keep the system like it is. Do u read the posts or do u just come in and start yapping
All u demorats got is keep it like it is or total government takeover. Are there any in between choices?
dagreatfarter we know oyu DONT even pretend to have a job thats why you can come on here and bytch all day
-U already know what I do for a living. Stop tripping f@ggot! Thought u were a retired marine so if u back to work im gon report ur azz. Dont ask dont tell got lifted so u got no excuses to assist in this war
Those doctors better find a job elsewhere, then. Because there will be a line of doctors waiting to come to America for those American bucks $$$$. 'Opportunist' is the operative word here. ---------------
Thats the dumbest chit i ever heard in my life! Ok fine then u can get a new doctor who went to city college, boi are u stupid!
The demo'rats are 11 votes shy of this takeover. Dennis Kucinich sold out after a ride in air force 1, wonder how much money the demo'rats promised him. The demo'rat will climb hell and high water to keep power and keep blk ppl in public schools and subordinate. The only difference between the demo'rats kkk of old and now is they wear suits and no crosses. Dick durban killed the vouchers for DC, gotta keep blk folk dumb.
What dont u get about 75% of doctors dont even accept Medicaid. I pay for my insurance but every time I call my doctor for an appointment. If I want her to squeeze me in, the receptionist will say I cant over load the doctor. People in private practice are NOT servants to the public. They aren't the ER thats why itz called PRIVATE PRACTICE
U are so dumb u got to be mentally challenged
Great Britain's National Health Service (NHS) was created on July 5, 1948. As with all government programs, bureaucrats underestimated initial cost projections. First-year operating costs of NHS were 52 million pounds higher than original estimates1 as Britons saturated the so-called free system.
Many decades of shortages, misery and suffering followed until 1989, when some market-based health care competition was reintroduced to the British citizens2.
Unfortunately for those requiring care, a mostly socialist health care system has problems. The articles and commentaries in this section
identify some disasters caused by government intervention in the British health care system.
I also recommend reading David G. Green and Laura Casper's economic report, Delay, Denial and Dilution: The Impact of NHS Rationing on Heart Disease and Cancer to see the inevitable outcome of the necessary rationing of government health care.
Percent of people who believe their health care system needs fundamental change:
United States 60% Sweden 58 United Kingdom 52 Japan 47 Netherlands 46 France 42 Canada 38
Yeah we need change but why should we adopt their system when if they are just as unhappy. They supposed to have the best health care system right?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the President so defensive. And, of course, he did not answer a single question. Instead he gave long answers but if you listen, he did not answer 1 question. He is a socialist who is trying to transform 1/6th of our economy and make the government run our healthcare so 15 million who dont have it can get it free. What about the 300 million of us who do have it? Your going to transform everything and force us to have the goverment run it for us so some scum bags who dont work can get it paid for? That is socialism.
Mr Obama, the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money. The solution should be to allow people to buy insurance out of state, which would increase competition and lower costs. Also make legal penalties for people who make false medical malpractice suits. No need to have the goverment run healthcare. They run the post office, Medicare, Medicade, Social Security, etc etc and those are all doing sooo well right? No. The goverment has never ever run anything well, and the free market will always run anything better than they can.
I'd like to add a fun fact for everyone and google it if you dont think its true. Obama spent more in his first year as president than every other US President combined from George Washington to George Bush. He tripled the deficit in his first 3 months as president and if all of his policies he is proposing go thru he will add 10 trillion in dept to our economy. I dont want my children and grandchilden to spend there lives paying off Obamas socialist policies.
