Actress Heather Graham Teams With MoveOn to Push Public Option

"Insurance companies have gotten lazy, bloated from the profits of raising our health care costs sky high while the health care crisis keeps getting worse. A public health insurance option is the key to quality affordable care for Americans. And over 70 percent of Americans want the public option. Some in Washington say this is unfair competition. But competition is as American as apple pie."

Out of work actors for sale.

We’re supposed to take seriously an actress whose first BIG starring role in Hollywood was to drop go down on her knees, from the roller skates she never took off, in front of a former boy band member turned actor in a ’scampy’ flick about the porn movie industry and give his ‘gift’ some intense attention.

Pleeezzzzzzz ….

Who is Heather Grahamn? I can’t say that I have ever seen any of her work in the past and I surely will not see any in the future after this. She looks like a clothes rack that I used to see in my late Granny’s sewing room. And the guy with the champange bottle looked like he was trying to…… well, I think any reasonable adult knows what I mean. MoveOn is putting out more propaganda than the WH now.

Deek   October 21st, 2009 - 3:19 pm

wow . . . over 70% of Americans want the public option . .?????

That’s a pretty amazing stat when not even 70% of Americans want the government to do any type of reform at all.

Support for the health care bills are in complete freefall, and it’s only going to get worse as they start merging bills, raising the cost of this abomination, and the truth about how this will affect people really begins to leak out and reach the public.

Government Health Care is a complete scam—everybody needs to continue contacting their representatives to stand up against this bill!

Heather, have you ever been in a free clinic? Are you going to drop your Cadillac plan?

H2K   October 21st, 2009 - 3:40 pm

Just how wrong can “Roller Girl” be?
1) Insurance companies operate at about a 5% profit margin
2) the fact that most everyone has “comprehensive” healthcare – as opposed to catastrophic healthcare – helps to keep the price unnaturally high. If someone subsidized your diet so that you could by Ribeye Steak for $1, you’d eat it every night. Because your deductible is only $25, you’ll go to the doctor for a hangnail. And all of us know the people that do it.
3) the public plan would be subsidized by……?…..you guesed it, the American taxpayer. So, to stop healthcare costs from rising, tax payers will pay more. Taxed for plastic surgery. Taxed for medical accessories including t@mpons. Taxed to drink a soda.
4) 70% don’t want a pubic option. Where did you get that statistic from? Rahmelrod? Rassmussen has the negative at 57%.
5) Why would introducing a government subsidized plan that answers to no one, it doesn’t have to operate efficiently, and who sets the ground rules for the other players be defined as “competition”? That’s just stupid.

While I enjoyed Roller Girl taking her clothes off acting like a str!pper in Boogie Nights, I’m not sure she has the background to understand the implications of any of her statements regarding healthcare.

“Insurance companies have gotten lazy, bloated from the profits of raising our health care costs sky high while the health care crisis keeps getting worse”.

Well…she got that part right! Whether or not a public option is the answer remains to be debated but the insurance companies are out for one thing and one thing only–a nice fat profit. They have bought influence in Washington for decades just to make sure that they continue to do so. If you think otherwise you are nuts.

If 85% of Americans like the health care they have then how can 70% of Americans want a public option? I am confused..or am I being treated like a child and lied too????

Please stop using the word “option” when the word “mandate” appears in the actual bills. ‘Kay? Thanks.

Couldn’t you substitute “Federal Government” for “insurance companies” in that statement? That question was rhetorical. You can make that substitution.

70%? Where do they get that number? Oh, if we don’t cite sources we can make stuff up, is that it? Holy crap in a hat lie.
Oh, and uh, minor detail here…
It’s not competition if it’s mandated, bolstered, jammed down your throat and completely funded by the government…something that people defending this tripe don’t seem to understand. But, when has the truth, facts, or general common sense ever mattered to the Hollywood elite or 99% of the politicians out there?

And we can clearly see in this video by comparison that politics is Hollywood for ugly people, thus why Heather was hired.

Cletus, their is no need to be preaching to the choir here, we All know of the numerous other options that would vastly improve healthcare, cover millions, and reform areas in insurance restrictions that would benefit all, but they are not even on the table, this huge, unread, slop of mess they are trying to force down our throats is not the answer, and will not fix the problem, but it will add trillions to a out of control national debt.

Cletus from the trailer park   October 21st, 2009 - 4:24 pm

Jana – I’ve only heard one option put forth by the GOP, and it’s not even a viable one… OK, I guess I could say two, since they really seem to think that tort reform will have some effect on the cost of healthcare!! HAHA, what a joke! So please expound… I’ll be waiting.

JameS   October 21st, 2009 - 4:46 pm

The insurance companies, and the Republicans who suck down money from insurance company lobbyists, are lying to us. The fact is that without a public option, all health care reform will accomplish is to force us all to push up the profits of the insurance companies. With a public option in place, the insurance companies have to compete to offer better and more comprehensive plans.

Jana   October 21st, 2009 - 4:56 pm

How about giving every American a five thousand dollar tax credit to purchase their own insurance plan? In addition, lift the pre-existing conditions restriction on all insurance plans and eliminating state specific insurance carriers by merging these plans into plans that are not limited to one state (ie: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan) would simply be BCBS of America. Creating insurance “pools” where consumers would be free to shop all insurance plans that would be in direct competition with each other. Review, and standardize general fees for services on specific treatments, and tests so they would not exceed a certain amount. Unemployed, and indigent citizens could be issued a check that funds coverage for themselves, and family as long as they documented citizens. This would still cost less than a huge government run plan that will cost trillions to run.

Most importantly, by NOT having the government take over the insurance, the patients will not be subjected to possible government created limitations, and restrictions to care that all government run programs eventually abide by. Just ask the UK, or Canada about it.

Shiori   October 21st, 2009 - 5:09 pm

Where do these ditsy liberal celebutards get their statistics? I realize that some of these airheads mean well, and believe they’re fighting for the poor – but because they live in a bubble, they’re oblivious to the disastrous effects of government health care [or gov't anything]. Most of the wealthier celebs know what hospitals are like in the UK for example, and yet they rarely say so, because they feel it won’t effect them – that their wealth will insulate them. And BTW, Heather – THE ENTIRE BILL IS A PUBLIC OPTION!

H2K   October 21st, 2009 - 5:12 pm

Cletus, I hope you don’t mind if I jump in as well.
Harry Reid, relying on your/our understanding of mathematics made the case last week when he discussed tort reform. Like you, he said it would have no impact saving “only” $54 Billion a year which was “nothing” when compared to the $2 Trillion price tag expected over 10 years with healthcare.
OK, so I whip out my sliderule and do some math. $54Billion a year for 10 years is $540Billion dollars. Being conservative, I’ll say that is 1/2 Trillion dollars.
1/2 Trillion dollars saved over the expect cost of $2 Trillion is 25%.
So, Harry Reid said that we could save 25% of the cost of this healthcare bill by enabling tort reform.

Is 25% savings a bad idea?

I’d enjoy hearing your response.

Jana   October 21st, 2009 - 5:15 pm

I just wanted to add that I am not a believer in a total nanny state where the government is suppose to supply everything for everyone. I believe in freedom of choice. It used to be that all employers were required by law to give you at least two options on insurance, one was a HMO type, the other perhaps a PPO, or Endemnity plan. You decided if you wanted to pay a bit more, for more coverage, private rooms, access to more doctors ect. I believe that we must address the millions who have no coverage, but you don’t have to change the coverage of millions of others who are satisfied with their own plans.

Good on Heather , Finally a Celeb who is clued in .

Right from the start the HEALTHCARE BILL should have been single payer like they have in Canada and elsewhere but they FUMBLE and BUMBLE that . now the only saving GRACE to truly call this a Healthcare REFORM is the PUBLIC OPTION,

Without the PUBLIC OPTION this BILL is FAILURE, And I wouldn’t be in any LINE in 2010 or 2012 to vote for ANYBODY , I know everyone in my family will stay home. WE VOTE FOR CHANGE ,Not for band-aid on a bullet hole

The Insurance Companies will really lower their cost and STOP RIPPING the CITIZENS off , When they see people leave THEM for the PUBLIC OPTION. The Insurance companies will have people on street corners BEGGING PEOPLE to NOT LEAVE them, I could see 10 and 20 dollar full coverage offer by them.

WE all know millions upon million will LEAVE the Insurance Companies and go to the public option like when it was first introduce like in CANADA and other nations.

The insurance companies will always have car , house and other coverage to offer people ..but they should not be allowed anywhere near HEALTHCARE , In a area of LIFE and DEATH , where they charge people insane amount for care and look to make a profit out of DEATH .

WE pay enough TAXES…. our CARE should be taken care of automatic . But our TAX DOLLARS is getting WASTED in unnecessary WARS amoung other things.

And we see President Obama is doing his best president Bush by funding wars of lost cause.

Jana   October 21st, 2009 - 5:43 pm

Anon, how is it fair competition when you are competing against a government run program that gets unlimited tax payer money, loans that are free of interest, and are free of a requirement of creating a profit ?

Obama was right when he used UPS, and Federal Express as examples of free market companies who have competed (and won) against the government run Postal Service. The satisfaction percentage of the average UPS, and FedEx customer was in the 90%. It was in the 30=40% for the U.S. Postal service even though they get far more advantages in the competitive market place. If the Dems had not made it very clear that at TOTAL takeover of healthcare was the ultimate view, I would say, let them compete side by side, but too much is at stake here.

I don’t want U.S. Post office level medical service, thank you very much.

Laura   October 21st, 2009 - 6:09 pm

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Comparing LIFE and DEATH to the Postal service , The Postal service is not in the business to make a PROFIT , which is good to know when it comes to HEALTHCARE. As other nation shows the PUBLIC OPTION will cover me no matter what, Unlike the INSURANCE company who will rip rip me off in their COVERAGE to the point if I got into a car accident i have to mortagage my home to cover the BILLS.

Any profit the goverment make will go back into the system to improve it, and not unlike the Insurance comapanies who is more concern in giving parachute millions to their CEO’s.

And for those who like to DISS anything the Government handle , last i check the Government handles our MILITARY and its a damn fine one… the BEST in the world . Other governement run entities on the local level……… Fire , police . EMS ..etc .

thank you very much my work here is DONE.

anon, my bad, I miss understood your comment. Laura, all I am saying is, well over 80% of the people covered by their private medical insurance are very happy with it. Why should they be forced off of a plan they do not want? Where is the freedom of choice with that?

As for comparing Government run health care to the U.S. Postal Service, I stand by my level of service comparison. I think standing in huge lines, with a shortage of doctors, in a facility that is burdened with tons of red tape and paper work, will not make a lot of Americans happy. Oh, and btw the Fire Dept, police, EMS ect, are run, and funded by individual cities, and states, not the federal government.

Kim   October 21st, 2009 - 6:48 pm

These liberal actors are pathetic! My son fell down the stairs at school. The school had an ambulance take him to the hospital. I received a bill from the hospital before my insurance deducted their payments. It was over $1200 dollars for an emergency room visit. $62.00 for a leg brace and $10.00 for one pain pill. I then received from the insurance company a bill stating how much they deducted and how much I then owed, only $120.00. The government is taking it out on the wrong people. The insurance companies do need some reform, but how do hospitals get away with charging those kind of prices. Why don’t they put a cap on what they charge patients for procedures.

So why don’t these liberals actors get the story straight before they start lobbying for the president! First they were after capitalism, while they living high on the hog off the money they made in a capitalistic society. Now they are after the insurance companies.

Is there a web site that show all the liberal actors, so that I can make an effort never to pay to watch a movie of theirs again?

Why shouldn’t insurance companies make a profit. If a company can’t turn a profit, they won’t be in business long. Thousands of American companies make higher profits than insurance companies. Liberals hate profits and that’s why the Marxist Obama and his corrupt thugs are trying to destroy private companies. That way the government can take over everything in America. Wake up folks, your freedom and liberty are at stake. If you don’t make a stand and protest loudly to your legislators, it may come to pass. Of course, the legislators we have now representing us are mostly in the tank for our ineligible president, but make yourselves heard anyway.

Health care crisis??? I don’t know wtf they’re talking about. I and my family, have health care.

Ian A.   October 22nd, 2009 - 2:23 am

There is no health care crisis. Every single hospital in this country cannot turn away anyone who shows up in the emergency room regardless of whether they are citizens of this country, have insurance, or if the medical problem is minor. People without insurance coverage have been having babies free of charge, using the emergency room as a pediatricians office for everything from a sore throat to a skinned knee, all at taxpayers expense. Don’t tell me there are people dying in the streets.

The only people who end up in trouble are those who work, and have a job, and are expected to pay the inflated charges that cover everyone else. Illegals have been using this system for the years. There is no immediate emergency. It is just a scam to rush through a plan with triggers so the government can take over the health care system. Something the majority of Americans do not want.

Hey Tammy!!   October 22nd, 2009 - 2:28 am

Laura have you spoken to people in other countries that are on a single payer and are very upset of the people who don’t take care of there bodies. I have been to Japan and the older generation don’t like their universal health coverage because the younger generation abuses the system. How would that be different in America? Why do I have to pay for the extra care for somebody whom loves the Big Mac. And you say I already am through the high costs. Our company has HSA’s and we negotiate with the doctor and pay cash. Doctors love this and is the way it was when I was a child and when most americans basically had major medical. When I do our business payroll I agree we pay too much for war’s, museums, other countries bullets, saving of useless rats, subsidies for farmers, on, and on. So I say shame on the government for taking so much out of our payroll taxes, reduce that and we can all afford the cadillac plan if we wish to.

LB   October 22nd, 2009 - 10:47 am

That’s a horrible commercial. What a waste of video tape. Obama’s public option is an unworkable mess that will bankrupt the nation and lower the quality of our health care. THE PUBLIC OPTION IS NOT WHAT AMERICA WANTS OR NEEDS.

SubjectofUSSA   October 22nd, 2009 - 10:55 am

If you’ve not heard any Republican proposals on health care, you’re obviously not even trying to find them idiots. Conservatives have plenty ideas on how to fix health care. But it’s kind of hard to get those ideas out there when 1) the media refuses you any coverage and 2) the democrats in charge ignore you and/or lock you out of the chamber.

Thank god Heather has made this complex issue easy for me to understand. Turning over 1/6 of the us economy to US politicians at first seemed like a bad idea to me. People come from all over the world to America for health care, so I had plenty of questions. But now thanks to Heather I’m on board. I admit for a while I thought Tort Reform, allowing insurers to provide policies nation wide, creating jobs for Americans, providing tax insentives for employers to provide insurance, allowing Americans to deduct healthcare costs on their taxes was the way to improve our health care system. but now thanks to Heather I now know that Harry and Nancy (26% approval rating) are the folks I should be listening too.

Many of them actually pay their employees extremely well, while doing a service for their community/state/country. Your statement is just flat out ignorant.

Reading these sad comments reminded me, there are a lot of unemployed Republicans with Internet access. You all might be better served getting some information before you post. Knowledge is power, and Brietbart.tv commentators have neither.

Jana – I think your post is very well thought out. One important, opening point. Do you realize that giving $5000 to every American to buy health insurance adds up to 1.5 TRILLION dollars? That’s government money. So what you’re saying is, you don’t care about how much it costs, you just don’t want the government running it. Is that a fair assumption?

And isn’t creating standardized fees for services total socialization??

I agree that the “preexisting condition” restrictions should be eliminated. It’s a tool for the insurers to maximize profits while pretty much letting sick people rot and die. Lifting state-specific insurance regulations is WAAAAY easier said than done. Whatever happened to states rights?? The restrictions are different in every state because some states take more of a proactive role in protecting consumers, while others are more “pro” insurance companies.

Huh? Ok, how are those fatties able to keep up with Rollergirl like that? It seems more plausible to me that each one of the individuals representing the Healthcare companies are going to drop dead due to heart attacks brought on by chasing after Ms Shagwell. Then what are we going to be left with…a public option with no real competition. But I will say, Heather Graham is one Democratic Big-government program that I wouldn’t mind getting screwed by.
