"HUFFPO SPAM: BURIED"
"AARP's just a bunch of libtards who drank Obama-sama's Kool Aid."
"AARP wants to kill old people! (link to conspiracy theory-laden conservative blog article, i.e. FoxNews)
"BILL CLINTON something something."
There. Now you have time to make a sandwich instead. You're welcome. - nepidae, on 11/05/2009, -8/+87Keep your socialist hands off my medicare!
- SteveMTyler, on 11/05/2009, -7/+70What are you talking about? European countries show that single payer works.
Politicians are going to lose lobbiest money, gifts, and vacations; it's in their self interest to vote it down. - Shoebox639, on 11/05/2009, -3/+64The guy who brought Canada universal health care is heralded as a hero in Canada. Anyone can be paid to say they don't like the Canandian health care system.
The NHS in Britain is seen as one of the great triumphs by the British.
France has the BEST health care in the world. US is 37th.
These claims can all be backed up.
To anyone who want argue with me:
1. Don't use anecdotal evidence. I can cite you tragedies about US health care system too.
2. Don't recite fox news talking points. Remember Fox is not news from 7am-9am, 4pm-6pm, and 8pm-12am.
3. Cite from real sources, not the heritage foundation or obamaisaliar.com - cosmicinsight, on 11/04/2009, -15/+65Its time AARP did something meaningful and show some guts otherwise it would be at best just another lobby and fall into unrepresentative of its entire class.
- ianzu, on 11/05/2009, -6/+55Won't someone think of the Death Panels?
- upnorthgirl, on 11/05/2009, -6/+52And now the AMA is backing it too.
- Propethic, on 11/05/2009, -7/+46This is not a government take-over of healthcare. How many times do people have to say this until it sticks?
- Bartboy919, on 11/05/2009, -4/+43Because they never contributed anything to this country, what a bunch of welfare queens.
- ftc08, on 11/05/2009, -2/+33You forgot: THEY'RE GOING TO KILL GRAMMA!
- seltaeb4, on 11/05/2009, -5/+34Wow, xM55... you are truly spectacularly misinformed.
- niradg, on 11/05/2009, -7/+34While Republican House members wasted the day teabagging at their dog & pony show, their Democratic counterparts lined up the two most important endorsements for healthcare reform.
- TheLee, on 11/05/2009, -0/+26I'll attach an /s for you before people get the wrong idea.
- Shoebox639, on 11/05/2009, -7/+33You sound like fox news. Those are the same arguments they make over and over and over again. Make them enough, people like you just take it as fact. I bet you can't back up with a shred of evidence anything you just claimed.
- detcade, on 11/05/2009, -8/+32* This Opinion Is Sponsored By The Private Health Care Industry
- rabidjester, on 11/05/2009, -3/+26Indeed, they finally over took boys kissing, flag burning, terrorism, mustard, liberals and the Jews. It's time to unleash the robots, to counter this blue-haired menace!
http://www.hulu.com/watch/2340/saturday-night-live ... - dagnabbit, on 11/05/2009, -5/+25What a contrast today. At one end of Pennsylvania Ave a bunch of wingnuts protested against debunked, delusional nonsense while on the other the White House accepted endorsements from the AARP and American Medical Association.
- pintomp3, on 11/05/2009, -2/+22While their money goes to take care of it's citizens, ours goes to killing brown people.
- digitalArtform, on 11/05/2009, -0/+16I meant, by way of clarification, AARP should get ready to be smeared.
- Propethic, on 11/05/2009, -2/+18[citation needed]
- Mejari, on 11/05/2009, -0/+16It's like all these grandmothers /want/ us to kill them!
- AgeofMastery, on 11/05/2009, -0/+13Thats's from 2005, it's dropped considerably since then. here's the rates for 2009
http://www.french-property.com/guides/france/finan ... - Propethic, on 11/05/2009, -3/+16Suddenly everyone is an expert on AARP
- Shoebox639, on 11/05/2009, -2/+15Ok, how about the fact that US spends 1/6 (16%) of GDP on health care, no other developed country comes close.
- SchmuckofNI, on 11/06/2009, -0/+12Thats the fundamental problem this country is facing, we are so divided on stupid ***** we can't seem to see the forest from the trees.
- SteveMTyler, on 11/05/2009, -2/+14Im guessing your still covered by your parents health insurance.
The whole industry is just a leech, they produce nothing, contribute nothing, - niradg, on 11/05/2009, -1/+12with backing from both the AARP and the AMA, it sounds like this bill has some really broad support. My guess is that the final bill that passes only differs slightly from what House Dems currently have.
- diggduggDOOM, on 11/05/2009, -3/+14At what age can you join AARP?
At what age can you benefit from Medicare (without disability)? - publiclurker, on 11/05/2009, -0/+11Gee, not the blacks, Jews or Muslims? I guess they must have come up with a new bigots bible
- Jeegus21, on 11/05/2009, -2/+13No... No I don't anyone thinks that at all. Nothing about this bill is taking anything from anyone to pay for anyone else. Its just you misinformed idiots that accuse everyone of all this "redistribution" idealism and ***** if they back anything with common sense.
- fasda, on 11/05/2009, -1/+11seriously did you read what TheLee wrote like 20 minutes before you? have you ever heard of sarcasm?
- borez, on 11/05/2009, -3/+13So what's happening with this... is it going through, or is it going to be rejected?
/ An interested person from the UK - Shoebox639, on 11/05/2009, -2/+12I beg to differ on the undebatability, I dare you to back up what you say.
- Mejari, on 11/05/2009, -1/+10http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourhealth/policy/article ...
Yeah, it's all a trick. Even the AARP are in on it! - Maddoktor2, on 11/05/2009, -1/+10"At what age can you join AARP?"
50.
"At what age can you benefit from Medicare (without disability)?"
65. - fishbeef33, on 11/06/2009, -1/+10"Libradiggtard?" Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
Besides, I'm a Scorpio, not a Libra. - 4321234, on 11/05/2009, -2/+11Now even school has a liberal bias. I think we know who drank all the kool aid around here.
- mightyeldo, on 11/05/2009, -6/+15What?!!! I'm from England and I love the NHS.
- Itsatrapackbar, on 11/06/2009, -3/+11This ain't universal health care, but I would support it if it was. My grandmother's dead because her coverage was dropped when she was diagnosed with osteoporosis, and thanks to jack offs like you, it's going to keep happening over and over again.
- digitalArtform, on 11/05/2009, -8/+16Get ready for the AACORN treatment.
- joeditto, on 11/05/2009, -1/+8FYI...Seniors pay for Medicare monthly...$94 per month plus perscription D....$50 per month depending on the plan you choose..
AND
When the Seniors were younger and working, they paid a percentage of their income towards Medicare....just like you do now. - Xtortion08, on 11/06/2009, -1/+8My kids and grand kids are already up to their necks in debt for wars and tax cuts, i have no problem making them pay for something extra that will benefit them in the long run.
- Maddoktor2, on 11/05/2009, -5/+12It's called soap and water. Use them. Liberally.
- Jeegus21, on 11/05/2009, -2/+9Because its not like they have been getting medicare taken from their checks or anything the past 50 years.
- FutureGuy, on 11/06/2009, -5/+12AMA is the nations largest doctor's group. If anyone know the mess medical system is in that would be the people in the medical profession, not Fox news.
- stuffradio, on 11/05/2009, -5/+12How many different articles do I have to post on saying Universal Health Care in Canada works?
- digitalArtform, on 11/05/2009, -2/+9I believe that quote comes from the eminent Doctor Suess.
And nobody is losing any medical liberty. You are at liberty to leave the US, btw. Please don't let that liberty go to waste. - digitalArtform, on 11/05/2009, -1/+8"Public Health is Public Wealth."
-- Benjamin Franklin - ProfessorRiffs, on 11/06/2009, -0/+7Way to distort the 2nd video. All he said was that instead of the bill telling doctors to do this or that, it will allow people to be informed about the situation so that they can act as they see fit. His 'pain pill' scenario was him giving one possible outcome of one particular situation. And besides, if the lady is 105, surgery might not be the best thing. Maybe a pain pill really would give her better quality of life. You have to think about things on multiple levels. Hell, you just plain have to think about things, man.
- breadfred, on 11/06/2009, -0/+6I am in my 40's. Had a scare with my eyes. Was seen by 3 different specialists on a single day within a 2 hour time slot within a week of the scare. They found nothing seriously wrong with my eyes, but damn am I proud of our good ole NHS!
