Hmmm, I thought the government just wanted to offer an option to insurance companies?

I wonder how many jobs will be lost in the insurance industry?

I wonder if these people have America's best interest in mind?

“We’ve ruined the car industry, real estate and banking. Now we’re coming for the insurance companies.”

Question for voters: Is your business/employer next?

I guess her challenger in the last election didn’t do so well.

she cited the example of cancer patients who “will not have a cap on the benefits that they receive,”

No, instead they will just be left to die waiting to see a doctor. Or written off as “too sick to save.”

I wonder what Pelosi’s health insurance company thinks of her threat. And if they cover the cost of keeping her face from falling off.

So Pelosi, you genius you—why is the insurance industry against the bill if it doesn’t phase out private insurance?

Huh?

I thought people were going to be allowed to keep their insurance if they wanted to. Eh?

When your HMO is operated like the DMV, you're SOL.

Talk about a ripple effect job-wise.

I wonder if these people have America’s best interest in mind?

No. They seek to make us into a EUSA, a neutered giant.

Just what I was thinking. If the cancer patient is over 65, they’ll be given a morphine drip and a pad of paper to write their holographic will.

So when she went secret with the Trial Lawyers, who did she tell them would have the deep pockets when the insurers were gone?
I know, we will all be in the lottery to sue the Federal Government for the health care we won’t have. The lawyers will get to declare the fees up front (legislation already proposed) and those who live long enough to win will have proved they didn’t need the care in the first place.
Lord, she makes it hard to remain a citizen.

I just want to know why Ted Kennedy is sponsoring health care in the senate, when he is well over 65 and diagnosed with incurable brain cancer which is being treated aggressively.

Can you say double standard?

Lol....that's the example I used the other day at the doctors office.

The nurse who was, ahem, un white, said she liked zer0's plan because everyone would be covered like in the UK.

Well, I couldn't let that one slide by so I cited a few examples of the UK's plans to which she replied zer0 says he's not going to do it that way.

I looked her straight in the eyes and said obama is a liar, have you heard him say what old people should do instead of getting that surgery...just take a pill and get some end of life counseling and the hit the hospice?

The look on her face was PRICELESS and I'm feeling mighty good!

Man, no kidding....most people don't think past the effect these "get even" policies have.

Guess they're still convinced that "trickle down thingy" doesn't work.

That is until it's their job that's lost, fools

While she was having all her Botox injections, she probably had her breasts enlarged as well. It looks like the plastic surgeon did as good a job as he did with the Botox.

What is it about the concept of “vile” that this woman feels she has the need to constantly reinvent?

She sits on a giant stack of cash while she preaches that “profit” as a dirty word.

Hey San Fran Nan. Speaker McBotox. I just read the Constitution, and it says right there in the 10th Amendment that the “glory days” for big government and the authoritarian Stalinists that inhabit it such as yourself, are coming to an end.

You pass health care, you’re lighting a fuse. You can’t force it upon us. We’re states. We’re sovereign.

Just try us.

Congress are the real villains. They can and do rob all of us legally.
