It has now been nearly a century since Theodore Roosevelt first called for health care reform. And ever since, nearly every President and Congress, whether Democrat or Republican, has attempted to meet this challenge in some way. A bill for comprehensive health reform was first introduced by John Dingell Sr. in 1943. Sixty-five years later, his son continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each session.

If insurance companies can't deny you because of pre-existing condition why the hell would you ever buy insurance in the first place? Just wait till you have a problem and knock on the door.

Good point!

"If insurance companies can't deny you because of pre-existing condition why the hell would you ever buy insurance in the first place? Just wait till you have a problem and knock on the door."

Wow...this is so d@mning and so simply true and elementary, I'm sure it's gone over the Harvard grads heads. Funny how they just leave the"SMALL" details out. They want to takeover all healthcare.

I'm glad to hear that because if a President is the only one talking no one can point out the myriad lies he is spewing. Just as a starter, what plan exactly is he talking about? Why isn't he laying out specifics instead of trying to scare the sh** out of the uninformed? He keeps saying "his" plan but so far he hasn't had a plan, tonight he was supposed to lay out "his" plan but this excerpt is just more of the same generalizations without substance and no clear plan, no specific wording.

This guy is a communist through and through and I hope a rebuttal rips him a new one.

I was thinking more along the lines of ...

President Obama was so soundly defeated in his efforts to nationalize health care that no future president would dare attempt to try it again".

[dr_who]

He forgot to mention school lunches.

Hey America, it’s time to play THE DEATH PANEL.

Let’s meet our panelists:

Joe Biden - The longest serving member of the DEATH PANEL is Vice President and was a Senator from Delaware almost since the first state became a state.

Nancy Pelosi - Proving that Botox is for wimps, she is Speaker of the House!

Harry Reid - The soon-to-be ex-Senator from Nevada is the RAT Majority Leader. He’s been called the “soul man” of the panel.

Barak Hussein Obama - The newest panelist is also President and the top member of ... THE DEATH PANEL

Will they win and pull the plug on grandma? Thinking of all your inheritance that you could get? WHA WHA WHAAAAA... Forget it. You will give all your money to the DEATH PANEL.

Remember, maybe your better off not having the surgery, but taking the, uh, pain killer.

Is it Castro or is it Obama ... Hard to tell isn’t it.

[Question Liberal Authority]

If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out.

And we know from the Van Jones episode that "misrepresenting" a Democrat means QUOTING THEM ACCURATELY AND IN CONTEXT.

And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.

... except when it comes to tort reform.

[penelopesire]

“...I am not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last...”

Sounds to me like he doesn’t intend on ever leaving office!

Our very own Chavez...how quaint.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Outstanding point. New tag line.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Is it Castro or is it Obama ... Hard to tell isn’t it.

Not really. Castro's the one that makes coherent statements. Plus he's been dead for over a year.

[McGruff]

Bring it on Obambi.

[BooBoo1000]

AS usual OB/S is just more talk. He has no substance, and is nothing but a “ Water Boy” for the new National Socialist Party

[TomGuy]

Since he moved the time to 7 instead of 8 CT, I will watch a while.

[calex59]

Yes, it is hard to tell, they are both communist a**hats.

[dools007]

In the absense of logic and a cogent argument, the best offense is name calling and threats. From what I see that’s all this amounts to.

Moreover, he simply ignores the potential cost of Obamacare and its threat to the American economy—let along the freedom of individual American to manage their own health care.

If this is the best he can do, it ain’t much. Most thinking Americans understand the huge cost Obamacare represents to each and every tax payer.

FoxNews

Brit doesn’t think Obama will accomplish much. He says Obama is trying to reframe, reintroduce, reidentify the Health proposal.

[relee]

Speaker Pelosi is looking short and red and VP Biden is looking tall and shinny.

[TomGuy]

Bam is running behind schedule.

[How Clintonesque.]
