    What exactly are …
    What exactly are these “out of control abuses” keeping in mind that Obama just cut medicare and Medicaid compensation for cancer and heart disease two pre-existing conditions.

    I don’t want my health care run by an organization that can’t run a car sale (see cash for clunkers).

    And yes, Biden just said they’re going to control the insurance companies, just like Obama said he didn’t want to run a car company (yet here we are) and Obama wants to run Student Loans, and energy.

    That statement is SOCIALISTIC. Are you brain damaged?

    Socialism is government control of an industry: of means of production.

  3. FreeThinkerUS Says:

    ObamaCare bill is …
    ObamaCare bill is just a first step. That’s what Pelosi said the other day. Their goal is the TOTAL CONTROL of the healthcare industry.
    THAT is socialism you moron.

    Your idiotic idea that there is no socialism in America and your ignorance of the reality of socialized medicine in England for example is pathetic.
    The cancer survival rate in England is 25% lower than in America.
    They won’t pay for certain cancer drugs and limit preventive testing.

    Is that so? Would …
    Is that so? Would you care to enlighten me with your massive knowledge, or is hurling insults the only thing you can do more or less right? I dare you to give me your definition of socialism, which I can guarantee will be wrong….

  5. FreeThinkerUS Says:

    I know more about …
    I know more about socialism than you ever will.

    Your statement:

    “Socialism has NOTHING to do with anything going on in America today,”

    is the most idiotic thing I’ve heard in a long time.

    You are a political moron.

  6. armyveteran101st Says:

    The gov’t is not …
    The gov’t is not going to “run” anything, and frankly, you must be either too stupid to understand that, (in view of the multiple explanations as to how the system will be impacted), or simply bent on lying and twisting the truth. Obama NEVER said anything of the kind, and you’re just showing how stupid you really are in believing he said something like that. I’ve lived in Europe, and I know how their system works. I know for a fact that their system has been better than ours for years.

  7. armyveteran101st Says:

    I’m not for …
    I’m not for destroying them. I’m for putting limits to their out-of-control abuses. The federal gov’t and the private sector have radically different reasons for being, which conflict with each other when balance ceases to exist and the social equilibrium is broken. The U.S. Postal Service is the absolute best in the world at what it does, and has fallen victim to modern advances in technology. All it’s got to do is re-organize. I trust my gov’t 1,000 times more than some profit-seeking asshole.

  8. armyveteran101st Says:

    Socialism has …
    Socialism has NOTHING to do with anything going on in America today, and you right-wingers have been able to exploit the people’s ignorance, and convince them that socialism is here. I doubt you can even provide the correct definition of the term. Using the term as cover to aid and abet greedy, anti-American, harmful corporatists is the lowest of the low. if you can understand what I’m saying, (which I doubt), you ought to be ashamed of yourself. If you’re just ignorant, you should get educated.

    government run …
    government run healthcare wouldn’t control us anymore than private insurance already controls us. you think you have unlimited access to your doctor?? lol don’t get too sick or you’ll find out the hard way just how much access you have.

  10. FreeThinkerUS Says:

    Do you think that …
    Do you think that the government run health care system won’t control you?
    As to cancer, Obama said that sometimes we shouldn’t pay for expensive treatments for people who are in need of surgery. He said they should just take a pain pill instead.
    Are you aware that the cancer survival rate in England is drastically lower than in the US?
    Their socialized system will not pay for certain cancer drugs. They just let you die.
    Breast cancer testing is also limited.
    We need that here, right Einstein?

  11. FreeThinkerUS Says:

    Compared to other …
    Compared to other industries, insurance companies don’t make all that much profit.
    You think that destroying private insurance will improve the quality of healthcare?
    Since when does the federal government do anything cheaper than private business?
    How cost effective is the US Postal Service?
    You want a healthcare system that is run like the Postal service?
    That’s what ObamaCare will be like.
    You think that some government worker is going to be more “humane” than an evil insurance company?

  12. FreeThinkerUS Says:

    Socialism is not in …
    Socialism is not in my best interest.
    Socialism is a failed concept. Those who still believe in it are fools.
    Socialism is rapidly failing in Europe. Lefties want us to be like them. How insanely stupid.

  13. armyveteran101st Says:

    About time someone …
    About time someone stepped up to the plate to face down all these abusive, greedy, inhumane, piece of insurance corporations! I’m very glad the Vice-President said that the government is finally going to put a stop to the corporatist that place profit above all else. I’m for it 1000%! And all you idiots that constantly misuse the term “communist”, and that repeatedly allow yourselves to be brainwashed to the detriment of your best interests need to get your heads out of your asses!

  14. grg61458 Says:

    I see versions of democrat and republican in that phrase you dumb ass.

  15. grg61458 Says:

    My story, I’m a …
    My story, I’m a cancer survivor, with help from my gov run health insurance I’m alive today, to fight for those who aren’t as lucky. Yes I hope we control the insurance companies. They control us.

  16. tazztt1 Says:

    There… he said it …
    There… he said it… “You KNOW we’re going to control the insurance companies”

    NOW is there ANY question that these are COMMUNISTS???!

    Zionist are going …
    Zionist are going down and Bidens one of them

  18. VideoSeattle Says:

    Way to go Biden, …
    Way to go Biden, Power OVER the people!

    Did you not swear an oath to abide by our governing document, you know…the US Constitution?

    Control, Control, Control! What Tyrants and Traitors they are! They ought to be punished for their crimes. Soros too!

  19. dimelives1 Says:

    “REPRESENTATIVES” …
    “REPRESENTATIVES” and “Public SERVANTS” ought to take another look at their titles… They don’t have the AUTHORITY to make their own decisions, only to do what their constituents want. Wouldn’t think it that hard. But hey, like they say about power…

  20. batfly Says:

    No… “WTF” is what …
    No… “WTF” is what I say to people, such as yourself, who fail to see history repeating… but then again your attitude is pretty much apropos.

    Look at the symbolism Obama uses around health care… Looks just like a Nazi symbol minus the Swastika.

  21. eiddon Says:

    Nazi’s and health …
    Nazi’s and health care don’t have any connection, and it’s kind of sad that you feel you have to go to the Nazi trough to bolster your stupid argument. Also, a ‘protectorate’? WTF?

  22. batfly Says:

    Yes you hit the …
    Yes you hit the nail on the head. The DemocRATS versus RepubliCANTS is just a smoke and mirror show to obfuscate those who are pulling their strings.

    While Joe Q public is taking sides politically, Our dark overlords, who have created the Federal Reserve and Income Tax, are plotting even more usurpations to take away our Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    If you think your enemy is a Democrat or a Republican…
    We the people are already dead.

  23. higuma75 Says:

    And these people …
    And these people aren’t communists. No, not at all. Right. And I’m the Emperor of Rome.

  24. clarkstondude Says:

    Unfortunately there …
    Unfortunately there are 10 lined up behind him that will take the same torch down the line. Demo or Repug is all the same side.

  25. DirtCrashr Says:

    These people are …
    These people are evil. Know what they called East Germany? The German “Democratic” Republic – not very democratic though, except in name.
