Working for a health insurance company I've witnessed how this industry changed since my employment in 1999. From a Ma and Pa operation to a billion dollar corporation. Wonder how that happen? Coming from a company who cared about the health and well being of the elderly to a profit driven corportation. I've witnessed this company go through so many changes for the name of profit.

You have that opinion, because you are living in a dream world of insurance companies out to get you......OUR HEALTCARE IS FINE....we don't need to destroy america to insure those who don't have insurance.


It's you that is living in a dream world, and it's actually unbelievable how ignorant you are.

Instead of spewing crap about something you know nothing about, maybe you should go to the story "RNC Chair Attacks Obama On Health Care" and read the posts on the last page. You might learn something. If you are capable, that is.

What about Free Legal Services for all people, making less than one zillion dollars a year ?

Why are only Lawyers paid by the hour ? Why not bundle services and pay by that goal, like a civil suit, or a divorce. I would bet all these actions would be cleared up in a few hours, not several months or years ! And We all know that MEDICAL Costs are really driven by lawsuits. The real savings for all of us would be 50 % DECREASE in MEDICAL COSTS and the COST to run ANY Business.

Look, The constitution guarntees that we have rights ... until we have gov't backed free legal services we can not assume that any of these rights are there.

Anyone watching or listening to tonight's newconference, just listen to how badly Barry whistles his S's at the end of every word....very annoying for someone who is such a 'great orator'...bordering on a speech impediment.....now back to the substance of the "prime time" speech, is to fool the American people AGAIN...for the 100th time....into supporting his desire to get everyone on welfareCare, whether they want it or not, virtually destroying all private insurance and denying anyone from getting ANY private insurance after the bill is signed....(see page 16 of the bill)......STOP THIS MADNESS NOW !!!

Yes, Katy . . . stick to the Foxsnooze talking points, by all means -- we wouldn't want to "upset" Bill O'Really? or Sean Insannity (who's busy with his gay lover's divorce trial, and all) - would we?????

Why, they might actually say BAD things(!) about you and CBS News . . . like, you're socialists! or communists!! or liberals!!!! -- just b/c you dare to disagree with them!!!! -- on anything!!!!!

Ohhhh! It's not to be tolerated!!!!!!!

Please. Stop pretending these fascist pimps are a legitimate part of the political discourse in this country -- they serve only one purpose: the promotion of Fascist Christianity -- and only one master: the current Fuerher preaching from the pulpit on C Street.

Is it a secret? or something?

Their idols are Hitler and Stalin (among other psychotic creeps) . . . go figure.

But you stick to their script, Katy . . . wouldn't want to ever be confused with Walter Cronkite, would you?

I love this president because he knows what to say. He is determined to work against big interest for the common man. If people like Jim Demint hate him, let them eat my askkkk

A point to ponder....swine flu looms on the WHO horizon. Drug companies are working overtime to have the vaccine ready by September, Australia is now engaged in the first human test trials....congress passes the new health insurance plan soon....Will its first act be to vaccinate all and build that personal medical database on each of us? Roll up your sleeves and be the first to take that (?) shot? You may have NO choice!

I do not like the new health INSURANCE plan as its focus is not on the health of citizens, but rather it is a "legacy" tool crafted for the benefit of politicians. The drug companies are being granted a 12 year monopoly/protection on their biotech drugs developed. (Does this help to lower the cost to shut out generic brands? Will there be any constraints on 'how much' profit the drug companies can make?)

Who wrote all the provisions in this health care bill, since no one member of Congress will admit to having read it? After it gets passed in segments, then a NEW final bill will get written, and we will be stuck with it.......surprise, surprise......but life will go on.

Republicans just hate that an intelligent, cool, calm, collected, savy Obama is in the White House. They like the good 'ol boy, stupid, redneck, bribeable variety like we've had the past 8. The best they can come up with is 'Paw Paw McCain', Sarah the Sl*t, Mormon Mitt, etc.
They might as well go with Rush Limpnuts in 2012, he seems to be the best they have. Start the campaign Rush, 'An Oxycontin Bottle in every medicine cabinet, if Jumping Jelly Belly and his Brainwashed Minions get selected in 2012.
