Not saying that I support this so called ‘Plan’, but I have to say, insurance companies are the biggest cartel (read racket), ever.

Ever wonder why theyre swimming with cash, when everyone else is in the toilet?

God help us. There is no place on Earth like America. And Uncle Barrack wants to turn it into a poor copy of a poor original: Europe. Does no one understand? If we wanted to be Europe, the Pilgrim fathers would never have left Europe!

How can anybody believe that lying POS anymore? He just wants to get his hands on it and then he can change the rules after he wrecks it. Just another lie.

Ha haaaaaaa!!!

Awesome. Up till now I've been comparing Ubama to a Communist dictator but you've hit on something here. He's acting more like a plantation owner.

Kudos.

Obama: “no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. Unless he refuses to have his salary capped to $35,000 a year and quits. Or doesn't meet our list of demands for his private practice. Or chooses not to have an official ObamaCare Administrator in his office. Or if he refuses to receive the federal ObamaDollars that come with a few rules and regulations for him to follow. Or if he gets sick, and has nowhere to go to seek treatment himself, and dies while waiting for his ObamaCare remedies..."

When they use the tired argument that every family is just one serious illness away from financial catastrophe, isn’t that like saying that every family is one death away from emotional catastrophe?

What are important costs to families? Things like rent/mortgages, education, health care? Does anyone need medical care more than they need a home? Aren’t we supposed to pay for the things we need?

Next we will hear that we are in a Housing Crisis, because it costs so much to pay for housing. Why, every family is just one job loss away from a Housing Catastrophe! We need Public HousingCare!

Where in the Constitution are the president and congress allowed to dictate to us which doctors we will see, how long we have to wait to get treatment, which hospitals we will use, and how much they are allowed to charge? Obama would create a statist, socialist medical care system which denies us the right to hire a non-government doctor or hospital. Canadians already “enjoy” this situation, so they come to the United States for treatment.

We have too much government involvement in medical care already. What we need is more free enterprise, which always results in more choices, better quality, easy access, and lower prices. Obama thinks the government can do it better. So did the other Socialists and the communists in history, and they all failed.

The National Socialists (Nazis) rose to power in Germany largely because of hyperinflation, and that’s exactly what we will have here in the U.S. as the value of the dollar declines due to trillions upon trillions in new national debt. We are already in serious trouble, and cannot afford still more debt to pay for socialized medicine.

The Socialist Obama and the Socialist Congress are determined to destroy capitalism and freedom.

Not this doctor. She is retiring the day Obama care goes through.

No offense, but 45 years ago a lot of docs said that about Medicare.
