So, are the Castro Bros going to be in the peanut gallery?
Viewers who tune into President Barack Obama’s health-care address tonight will see all the usual trappings of a big-time speech –
VIEWERS?
You mean there is more then one lonely, have no life person out there?
Watching Obama talk to a room full of political hacks?
WOW if that was all I had to do tonight I would seriously consider putting my head in the oven....
I won’t watch or listen to Hussein. I want to keep my dinner down.
I just downloaded some old episodes of Space 1999.
I’ll watch a few tonight i guess.
Are people who write these essays from politico.com or any other sheet really that obtuse?
It is Henry Waxman's and Barack Obama's and Nancy Pelosi's "health care reform" which is insanely complicated. They are the ones pushing one thousand pages which nobody has read, which does not address the existing outrageous litigious absurdity (tort reform), which does not address illegal immigrants, and is still one thousand pages long with such stuff as czars for this, councils for that, and funding from nowhere.
The Bill is dirt, but nobody will say it. Journalists, politicians, activists, all talk around the bill like its content is not important, but rather stupidly is about some big emotionally imminent issue.
Health care reform my friends in the USA is NOT insanely complicated:
eliminate lawsuits,
exclude, very specifically, illegal immigrants to the point they are actually filtered (albeit initially treated) for deportation,
insure every legitimate person has private insurance (like auto insurance),
give tax breaks for such,
and within those parameters let the States administer according to their own approaches.
We are dealing here with a really really incompetent, and hence authoritarian, administration (incompetence is always covered by authoritarian reaction).
But of course we all know what the Media will say - they make their own self prophesy, it's called the Matrix.
“Can he keep it simple?”
Fellow Americans, the U.S. has the most insanely complicated health financing system on the planet. My plan would make it even more complicated.
A mountain of studies show that government regulation adds hundreds of billions of dollars each year to the cost of health care. My plan would increase such regulation.
Reliance on employer-provided health insurance is lunacy in an era in which the average worker changes jobs 10 times just in their first 20 years of work, as this simply guarantees constant disruption in one’s health insurance coverage. My plan solidifies this approach for 90% of American workers by forcing their employers to provide coverage.
The way in which we subsidize employer health coverage is grossly inequitable: taxpayers effectively subsidize about 50% of the cost of health insurance for Bill Gates and about 15% for the janitor who cleans his office. My plan retains the $250 billion a year in taxpayer subsidies that are distributed in this upside down fashion.
Competition among private health plans has been proven to work very effectively in both the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and Medicare Part D prescription drug program without needing a public plan to make this happen. Moreover, Americans have made crystal clear their strong opposition to a public plan option. A public plan option is a non-negotiable component of my plan.
Just count the number of lies. Words, lies, words etc.
ESPN, History Channel, Discovery Channel, Royals game on FSN, and any three other channels that Obama's speech isn't on.
I can’t stand to listen or watch this MARXIST MUSLIM AMERICA-HATING ILLEGAL ALIEN. I’m hoping the American people are getting tired of this POS also.
I turn the channel or switch radio stations whenever this SCUMBAG is speaking. Rush should go back to speeding up his sound bites of Ogabe then I wouldn’t have to mute the sound.
Also, watch for his nose to noticeably lengthen during the talk.
I remember when I was a young, tow-headed lad in Indonesia, I could not get health insurance. As a citizen of Kenya, health insurance was much more expensive for the undocumented workers in Jakarta...blah, blah, blah.
