txmike   March 22nd, 2010 - 11:47 am

Look at all of the mouth breathing neanderthals in these videos. Only they were stupid enough to believe the promises of free money and free shiney things being offered by the consumate liar. Those neanderthals have absolutely no right to other people’s hard earned money. Not during the good times not during these tough economic times that Goober Obama has contributed to in large measures.

What employers?

Mike   March 22nd, 2010 - 11:49 am

The sad thing is, this pathological liar will somehow convince his liberal underlings that he is saving them that much. Heck, he convinced everyone that the bill was deficit neutral.

Most libs are either incredibly naive, liars, or just plain stupid. We should enroll them all in some community college poly-sci and economics classes.

Arkyump   March 22nd, 2010 - 11:50 am

Steve R.   March 22nd, 2010 - 11:53 am

This will be just like all the jobs supposedly saved and created by the stimulus as unemployment continued to soar. Insurance rates will continue to rise, even faster with all the new mandates, but the Dems will claim they would rise even faster without Obamacare. And his zombie followers will swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Just make it hell for all health care providers. Call and annoy them to death.

Some still believe in Santa, (Republican/Democrat politician critters).
Others see the unfortunate truth.

Unfortunately, the lying Republican/Democrat politician critters and the federal reserve, (which is neither federal nor reserve), since 1913, have printed (counterfeited) trillions of dollars out of thin air to help fix problems they help create.
Trade your green toilet paper for things that have actual value while you still can.

If you’re not petrified of the coming dollar collapse, you aren’t paying attention.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:02 pm

And they will wait…wait and wait!

This is just like in Germany when Hitler took over…he appealed to the uneducated and uninformed in their society to control them and he did…just like the Bilderberg Obama the Bush is doing today!

It never ceases to amaze me on these stories about healthcare and their anticipation of getting better health insurance.

On C-Span yesterday while in between sessions a woman called and expressed how she had insurance, her husband had insurance and their son had insurance already…and she was looking forward to getting this new healthcare where she didn’t have to pay co-pays!

Does this uneducated and uninformed woman, and all like her, even realize that ’someone’ has to pay for her ‘not’ too have co-pays…and that will be her?

Imbecilic deaf, dumb and blind…citizens who are being manipulated by the messiah of Islam and being fed lies and propaganda to keep them on the plantations in servitude!

America…continue to pray for America…I do not think there is another nation in this world that is in danger like this one!

Today…we open to the realization that November is fast approaching and we need regroup to get out the vote!

Continue speakiing up and speaking out and never, ever give up…it will not be in our makeup and/or vocabulary!

When you are overcome by a ‘majority’ of Democratzi ‘loons’ we have to get to the root of the problem…remove the majority of the ‘loons’ to get an even playing field…then let’s continue the war and see who wins the battles!

Keep fighting on…America…I am and I am continuing to encourage you…you continue to encourage me and we will take back our government from the Democratzi ‘loons’ who temporarily inhabit our government!

———————————————–

JUST EIGHT (8) MORE MONTHS TO “D” DAY II !

1. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INFORMED!
2. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INVOLVED!
3. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

ONE (1) SLUG DOWN…FIFTY-NINE (59) SLUGS TO GO – GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ RECORDS OF BIRTH…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…AND 2010 WILL BE THE TIME!

Companies will make profits! They will drop the health insurance and pay the fine. Have friends who own businesses and they say it will be cheaper to pay fine. Keep the insurance you have-RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

d-rock   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:04 pm

If either my premiums go up or my taxes go up i’m screwed. I’m barely paying for everything right now because i’m making a 3rd of what i was 4 years ago. I have literally no wiggle room. This new legislation literally frightens me.

MKH   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:04 pm

Employer? This is a bill for those out of work. We’re spreading the wealth, remember?

Irene Flick   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:04 pm

If you repeat a lie enough times, it becomes true, right? ‘Up to $2500 per year’ includes $1, doesn’t it?

freddy   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:05 pm

yeah…just watching CNN…they say that if you get insurance through your work…your premiums will stay the same. AND oh…jeez…someone like me who is self insured and I make over 88k per year will see mine go up.

My wife and I work our asses off. We make about 100k a year, but in Los Angeles it really doesn’t go that far. So we’ll get to pay more for insurance…AND the city is raising fees on all kinds of stuff. Tripled our trash collection fees, not to pay for better trash collection but to put into the general fund. Same thing with our public utilities. Even the brush clearance inspection now, for the first time will include an inspection fee.

And now we can pay extra money for insurance. Every year I donate about 1 thousand dollars to a free health clinic here in LA. I guess I’ll find the extra money for my insurance in there.

Gil   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:05 pm

Help me out, has he kept any promises he made other than turning us towards a Single Payer system? After all, when I said that he was aiming for that pre-election I was called a racist, what is the new label for me? Right?

1GregM   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:05 pm

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

Joe   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:06 pm

I’ll be needing that $2500 to help out family members who won’t be qualifying for free heath care, but are still having trouble making ends meet. They won’t be buying health care, but they will get fined for it, so even less money for them.

steelers01   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:07 pm

When this ddoesn’t pan out will the American people have the fortitude to throw this POS out of office. Who else is sick of the lies and the gov’t takeover.

Komkaz   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:07 pm

Stupid American Voters = Stupid Politicians

Meanwhile the rest of the world laughs.

China, laughs at us and our economic policies.

Russia, laughs giving Iran nuclear technology.

Israel, laughs at how stupid our politicians are and how we coddle terrorists leaving our allies
behind.

Germany laughs at our fiscal irresponsibilies.

Britain, laughs at the pure arrogance of this bastard we have as a president. Returning a bust
of Winston Churchill that has been in the oval office since WWII.

Australia, is curious as to a president that thumbs his nose at state visits while at the same
being loyal allies in Iraq war.

I for one am fed up with this joke of an administration.

sonofdy   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:07 pm

That would mean my premimum will be less than ZERO!!!

YAY ME

huh, why are you all laughing….

Joe Doakes   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:08 pm

Be advised. Your premiums are going to go up by 25% – 75% in the next 3 years. Then you will lose your coverage and your doctor. It will be replaced by a meaningless promise that your doctor will not accept. Hang in their America, 1964 caused 1968 – this is going to get very rough.

2centsworth   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:08 pm

How much will this $2,500 savings cost me when the state has to raise my taxes to fill the gap the Fed just took out of Medicare/Medicaid? It seems to me the Fed will be needing to bailout all 50 states (57 if you are the President, but hey, we give stimulus funds to districts that don’t exist so what the heck). Obama is setting up quite an inheritance for the next President, isn’t he?

And this is all the while that this bill has hidden taxes and IRS oversight of my personal medical information. Big Brother is now in your health and employment records to a degree unprecedented in America. With all this information and control, do you REALLY trust them to not use it?

I thought Liberals and Progressives were against government intrusion. They just invited the IRS into their bodies and noone seems to think this hypocracy is stunning. Little did I know that intrusion was OK as long as it was “us” and not “the other” side who did it.

Donzi   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:08 pm

My employer just raised our deductible and our co-pays went from 20 to 30, same with the prescriptions. So F*&K HIM!! And F*&K YOU if you voted for him!!!

CarolAnn Beverlin   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:09 pm

My husband and I are fortunate to pay only $1000/year in premiums. Does that mean we’ll be getting a $1500 refund check?

tim   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:09 pm

LB   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:09 pm

Well. Lets see here. 20% deductions from by paychecks. Works it’s way out to $102 a week or $408 a month. Thats works its way out to $4896 taken out of my pocket annually for this $2500 reduction in insurance premiums a year that is covered by my employer. And I only make $15 an hour. That deduction increases as income goes up. Lets not even get into taxes. So my take home (net pay) went from $19584 to $14688 annually. I did that before and was struggling to even pay the bills. Lets not include put gas in my tank or the fact that I lived off of nothing but Top Ramen during that time. I work my @$$ off to improve my situation and the government drops me down more than a notch.

Great job Dems for putting me back below the poverty level. Great job idiots for voting for this mess.

RalstonNE   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:09 pm

I said it before i’ll say it again, i don’t know anyone who’s family pays $2500 a year for health insurance for a family, i have a mediocre job and i have insurance for 4 costing only $178 and change for very good coverage.

Paully D.   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:11 pm

The legislation would for the first time apply Medicare taxes to investment income received by these households beginning in 2013. The 3.8 percent rate would apply to unearned income such as realized capital gains, dividends, interest, rents, and royalties.

That’s 3.8 on top of existing taxes.

Jon   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:13 pm

DixHistory   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:13 pm

The U. S. Constitution as we know it ended when no one in Congress called for a point of order, in regards to obama not being a natural born citizen. This is about a legal matter, not about a Birth Certificate!

Citizen Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen, because he said his father was British at his birth and that he was British as well. Therefore nothing citizen obama does sitting as an unlawful POTUS is legal.

Rational and smart Americans get ready because up next is immigration reform and the uckstains in the democrat party WILL IGNORE the will of the majority on this just like they arrogantly did in order to ram through their crappy free hippy clinic care for the masses which the USA does not have the money to pay for.

During this past weekend’s so called ” immigration reform march ” why were ALL of the marchers hispanic?? WTF if the USA has such horrible immigration policy then why were the streets of DC not filled with immigrants/citizens from africa, asia and europe. Why is it that only effin hispanics have a beef with the laws in the USA. I say the laws are perfect as they can be and only one group of immigrants can’t seem to obey them.

The effects of decades of undermining public education on display. Why…WHY do people still believe the words that come out of the mouths of politicians speaking in their own favor? How many promises has this guy broken already? Yet… Oh I give up. Everyone with a brain already is opposed to this crap, everyone else is either selling out their country for a little temporary comfort or believes everything they see on television (the true mind-numbed robots)

I think we should have a simple litmus test, complete with brain scan, for all elected officials: show them the constitution and if they do not revere it, they are jailed for fraud.

http://www.americanparchment.com reported that the premiums will go up for individuals and businesses will lose millions. CAT itself will have to pay $100 million dollars now that this is passed, they will have to layoff more workers. Talk about destroying the economy.

photonsoflight   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:24 pm

Yep. They gonna give us $2500 in obama money, right after our taxes go up $5000.hehehe. If they say no new taxes that means they are going to raise the old taxes. If they say we will not raise taxes then they will create new ones. Same old song and dance.

Don Stogie   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:24 pm

“Work with your employer to lower your premiums” – Translation: We will jack up taxes on your employer and prohibit him from passing the cost on to you, the employee. However, we won’t do anything when every company in American raises prices to pay for those taxes.”

bruce stravinsky   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:25 pm

That is hilarious because I know one law firm in Las Vegas who announced last Friday that they were upping the ‘employee contribution’ by $80 starting NEXT WEEK!!!!! in anticipation of this ’solution’ to health insurance.

And what did they cite as the reason? Their insurance carrier was already raising rates NOW in anticipation the taxes and costs imposed on them in 2011.

Gee, the private sector reacts to government action? That is probably news to those serving in Congress. Kinda like when credit card companies raised rates in ADVANCE of the implementation date of the new ‘reforms’ to that industry. Wonder how happy people who are NOT the so-called beneficiaries of these ‘reforms’ are going to be in November???

Kit   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:25 pm

Lower premiums by $2,500…?
I’ll be paying ten times that much for the health care for the non-working bums.
Geez, it’s like I just picked up 250 ex-wives.
Thanks, man.

XML3569   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:25 pm

If there’s any lower premium, there will be a spike in federal income taxes for approx 53% of us who still are paying federal income taxes. There is no other way around it.

HM Dictator Obama a Muslim has taken over 20% of the private sector in 15 months What part of Communist and a Muslim dictator don’t understand. I right now think Obama is the USA’s Anti Christ. Time to remove this evil punny piece of garbage now IMPEACH NOW to save America.

Dennis   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:26 pm

better dump your 401K plan before 2013! I would rather take the hit now then in 2013. READ IT “until the funds are withdrawn”

BETTER GET LIQUID, SELL your house now!

“The legislation would for the first time apply Medicare taxes to investment income received by these households beginning in 2013. The 3.8 percent rate would apply to unearned income such as realized capital gains, dividends, interest, rents, and royalties. It wouldn’t apply to other income subject to income taxes, including interest from municipal bonds and retirement accounts such as 401(k) plans until funds are withdrawn.”

Who are the uninsured who will now receive health insurance, and who are the millions, upon millions, of currently uninsured that somehow did not seem to qualify for this abortion! Surprised they didn’t start off each new insured person under this plan, with a $2500 health savings account, but then again we don’t know what he put in this bill under the cover of darkness!

Oh I just remembered, the millions who didn’t qualify, are the illegal’s who will receive health insurance under our new immigration policy, that he will sneak in, under the cover of a border patrol fence!

First it was “we’ll reduce your premiums by up to 3000%”, now it’s up to $2,500, which is much less. Soon, he’ll be bragging that we’re reducing your premiums by $50/month, and eventually, he’ll be blaming the insurance industry when premiums go up 20% next year.

Kelly   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:30 pm

SOMETHING needed to be done…period! I pay $1,000 a month for crappy coverage,& can’t get a better deal because of a pre-existing condition. Doctors prescribe medicine because Pharma pushes it’s narcotic poisons to them as being cutting edge and useful. They get everyone on anti-anxiety, blood pressure or statin drugs and once that prescription is written, the insurance companies drop them OR jack up the premiums – even though these patients are taking (so-called)medicines that are supposed to eliminate those risks!! The system is so whacked out it’s comically tragic.

Obvious   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:30 pm

Unfortunately, the only clear solution here will be if welfare recipients, illegal immigrants, and other leeches start dying in some unforseen manner. Let’s hope for a deadly virus that infects government cheese.

RAS   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:32 pm

Congress has a different health plan than us ? don’t they work for US? and the best part is we pay 4 years for this before we get anything?! By then we’ll probably have 30% less doctors…. Everything Gov’t runs is broke. Now they run Healthcare? My God America. Who voted these idiots in office? Clean House in NOV..

PA_Bob   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:33 pm

Wait–wouldn’t that mean that:
1) “They” HAVE an employer
2) “They” PAY for their insurance already
3) “They” PAY income tax?

What seems to be missing from all the dialoge is what is NEXT for healthcare…. This isn’t the end, we know that, and it’s obvious that the end goal is complete control of healthcare–but the missing “next step” for these people–and the “warning sign” that all Americans have to look for is the coming cries for the need to manage the actual costs. What drives insurance costs?!?!?! Look at the spending for medical care–>50% is on the service. The cost of medical practitioners; medical devices and equipment; LABOR (nursing staff, aides, etc. etc.); property/real estate; utilities; and so on. Once all this insurance “reform” results in bankrupt government-approved insurance pools, as every employer will choose to opt out at a mere $2,000 “penalty” (should be called an incentive!), the only logical next step is to drive down the ACTUAL factors driving the cost of insurance–so welcome takeover of hospitals, clinics, and the labor needed to run it. The “new enemies of the people” will be those greedy nurses, doctors, and care facilities–and unless something happens to break this group of thugs up soon, this country’s quality of life is doomed.

Anyone need more proof that ELECTIONS MATTER????

I work in health care for a major West coast, college-based, health system. Our physicians are already over-booked & do not take Medi-Cal as a primary carrier for adult patients. Currently, neither Medi-Cal nor Medicare reimburse at levels that meet out costs – & that’s not something that will change soon, if ever! Are we to logically & rationally expect this to change upon Obama’s signing of this “reform” package? Of course not! Government routinely over-promises & under-funds. This health care “reform” will be no different. And how will the entity I work for maintain fiscal status quo? Not by hiring more physicians to meet the increased patient load but through the elimination of full-time employees, front office (check-in, check-out, phone operators), back office (nurses, medical assistants, physician assistants, nurse practitioners), billing staff, etc. – forcing fewer employees to do more for the same money. Talk about change I can believe in! And providers will be forced to see more patients for less time – probably 10 min max appointments – to maintain their same rate of productivity. In the industry, this is called “relative value units”; physician salaries are calculated based on productivity. So, more patients for less time relates to fewer conditions treated & increased referrals to specialists (who cost more). Primary care physicians will LOSE BIG under ObamaCare. With far more specialists than primary care docs graduating med schools now, there will be a major shortage of family practice docs in a few short years (we’re already close to a shortage now, actually). You know what that means, don’t you? Fewer available appointments. Longer waits to see your doc. Rationing of care. Physicians who are unhappy & unfulfilled in their jobs. Patients who are unhappy with not being able to see their doctors & with the abbreviated they receive, being forced to return later for that other condition they’d like to discuss today.

Also, I used to be financial manager for a very successful geriatric-only (65 & older) practice. We were a very lean, bare-bones, efficient office. We took Medicare & Medicare risk-HMOs. The HMOs were over 60% of our business & that was the only way we were able to stay afloat. Had Medicare been our only source of income, we’d have gone under. The practice has since closed & is now sees “frail/elderly” patients only in-home or in skilled nursing or assisted-living facilities because the reimbursement is far better & there’s no overhead for office space or even the bare-bones staff we had in the office! (The “frail/elderly” are patients that are usually abandoned by primary care docs because they are not mobile & can’t get to clinics for care. The vast majority of primary care docs won’t follow patients in skilled-nursing or assisted-living facilities & yet periodic care of this demographic is mandated by law.) Now, they need only physicians, a few nurse practitioners & a manager/biller – that’s it. Very effective model of implementing patient care for that demographic. But ObamaCare will cut Medicare benefits to physicians like this in 4 years, forcing them to return to the office setting (or retire) & survive on less reimbursement & limit the way they provide patient care to those who most need it!

This “reform” is a LOSE-LOSE for the USA.

And “pro-life Democrat” (an oxymoron if there ever was one) Bart Stupak should be ashamed of himself.

IMPEACH COMMUNIST OBAMA   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:34 pm

Obama a smug bastard was so cavalier said it’s going to happen and I’m going to watch Basket Ball, while taking over 1/6 of the US private sector and GDP illegaly., 30 states are already suing this unconstitutional Kommy CARE. To all out there can we as a whole sue the government Obama records under the Freedom of Informmation, by the 150 million signers? Time for action or we will be living with evil anti American MUSLIM ISLAMIST scumbag. If we could get records he would be removed as an Illegal Alien.

Liars lie about lying and never tell the truth.

Now we’d like to see your birth certificate.

If you own a business and did not fire ALL union workers – you deserve what is coming to you.
Without unions – Obama is nothing.

dmbkelly   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:36 pm

Kelly something needed to be done but not this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No other ideas were even looked at. I know insurance lobbyists who cut a deal with congress. They wanted a small bill because it requires that everyone buy insurance!
The insurance companies are predicting huge growth! HA! Do you really think congress did something for the people? It is all about money and you will end up paying just like everyone else!
American people are so st*pid! Oh and by the way Odumber had to pass something because he promised it to Hillary to get her out of the election!

truspeek   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:37 pm

I am encouraged by the raw distaste that 99% of the foregoing comments present.

WE, AS VOTERS, MUST RETAIN THIS RAW ANGER AND MAKE IT TRANSLATE TO A TRUE CLEARING OUT OF THIS ARROGANT CONGRESS, THE POLITICIAN
THAT FLAUNTS THE TRUE WILL OF THE MAJORITY AMERICAN, THE POLITICIAN WHO SPENDS OUR MONEY AS THOUGH IT IS HIS MONEY WITH A THOUGHT
FOR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE BANKRUPTING OF OUR GREAT NATION AND WHO THINKS US STUPID AD DISTRACTED BY THE FACT THAT WE CAN’T FIND A JOB.

REMEMBER COME NOVEMBER:

VOTE – VOTE – VOTE – VOTE – VOTE YOUR ANGER, SHOW YOUR ANGER, REMEMBER YOUR ANGER.

Obama Hates White People and Wants to Destroy Them   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:40 pm

Premiums, of course, will go up. Just think of it — the state Medicaid programs can now put their costly covered lives into your private insurance plan for the same premiums you pay, with the state paying the premium, which will be a fraction of what the costs of their care, and guess who gets to foot their bill? It was a diabolical plan. Of course, the states can keep the worried well low cost patients in their self-insured Medicaid program until they get sick and then make the switch.

Obama’s plan is a racist plan, since he knows whites will pay for the bulk of the cost of care for the minorities. Obama was raised in Reverend Wright’s church, and we know how the Reverend feels about the white man, whose greed runs a world in need.

So if you don’t pay the fine… will they put you in prison (they don’t even think criminals belong in prison)? Will they foreclose on your house (just like the big bad bankers)? Will they withhold treatments (like the insurance companies)? Keep you from getting a job (probably makes sense to them)? Deport you (nah, can’t deport anyone, amnesty is easier)? Take your children away ? How can they squeeze blood from a turnip, when noone has anything left? What EXACTLY will they do… put you in a room with Obama while he condescendingly blathers about himself? With Pelosi jumping up and down weilding a gavel? With Reid (remember, sleep depravation is torture)? Perhaps a shower with Rahm? What EXACTLY will they do?!!!

Really, how absurd will this all get, and did they think it through?

If the economy and jobs keeps getting worse more people who have no job or are struggling to keep their house, make ends meet etc.. then they will ” change ” and find they like the idea of a free HC.

All you need is a certain percentage of Americans who are in bad enough shape and you’ll get a permanent socialist America. It won’t matter how well and rational you argue for the case of limited government & strong capitalism, selfish survival instincts will trump in a society like ours which is built on such empty moral princples.

LibsAreCommies   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:42 pm

The time has come to remove these corrupt CommieLibs from power “By any means necessary”. They should be physically dragged from office and jailed for willfully violating the Constitution. I call on the U.S. Military to stage a good old-fashioned coup.
