What we need is something akin to the Daily Show's "Republican Talking Points from the Mouths of Fifth Graders", except depict homeless people presenting these arguments about how capital gains taxes prevent them from making money in stocks and therefor UHC == bad.

i mean, bombs are NOT that hard to make, and im sure at least a few of them will get through

They should include a word filter changing "PRC" to read "法輪功" to correctly attribute suggestions of terrorism to an appropriate terrorist organization.

Last time I went to the DMV I was in and out in 15 minutes. I don't get the hate for the DMV, people that bitch about it must only go there at like 3 pm when everyone else does.

You probably went to a state-run DMV from the 1970's and not a modern federal DMV.

My conservative friend just ambushed me with one of his "I'm really interested in what YOU think"/"I heard about this UHC thing on Savage and would like to see if your opinions stand up to sound bytes" conversations where he makes a point to let me know he doesn't like paying taxes, voted for Ron Paul, and Canadian Health Care is the worst ever because he has a Canadian friend who is waiting for a procedure that you can get the next day in the US. After a lot of words to avoid making a point, he said that his Canadian Friend needs a new kidney.

Actually, Teddy has a private plan--the same kind of plan that would find loopholes rather than pay an ordinary schmo to get the extended treatment he's getting, no doubt. Medicare is his secondary insurer.

And again, if it weren't for Kennedy's support, RomneyCare would have never passed in Massachusetts and turned into the miserable failure it is today. Kennedy's currently raising millions of dollars from healthcare lobbies for his posthumous non-profit to be named in his honor, and he's the last person I'd trust to shepherd healthcare reform that's in the citizens' interest rather than those of the healthcare lobbies.

Shouldn't you be masking your bitter disappointment over the results of last year's Democratic Primary by white-knighting the free speech rights of astroturfing Republican gate crashers?

I've been a free-speech advocate longer than you've been alive, and way longer since Republicans started showing up at healthcare-reform townhalls

I guess my only question is how long after your uterus dried up did you start bitterly defending free speech rights of disruptive Republicans because you shared the same lovely choices for the Democratic candidate?

I'm fairly certain you can get a Brazillian in any Salon in the US without health insurance and it's so much better for you than bleaching. I don't know what his damage is, probably just the insane rantings of a liberal elitist.

At this point I'm willing to accept a national ID card if it means UHC. gently caress, it's not like a cop can't arrest you for not showing ID as it is.

Watch the entire video in the OP of the "gently caress the police thread", specifically the parts where cops are doing whatever the gently caress they want to people who are not breaking the law.

just chiming in to say gently caress obama and gently caress healthcare in this country bc my mom has to pay over 400 dollars for some lift in her shoe because she's having very severe foot pain but insurance won't cover it because she's not diabetic

And if she were it would be a preexisting condition.

One of the principals for a firm i worked at was diagnosed with cancer. They had driven to Cedar's Sanai in LA as health care in Vegas is a loving death trap.

They gave him the runaround about coverage and his parents called a family friend who dappled in legal activities and politics. The family friend then calls the hospital and was able to put enough pressure on the hospital staff so they would provide him with treatment regardless of insurance coverage. He ended up losing a lot of one of his legs, but it was handled in time instead of waiting for the insurance companies to make up their mind.

I think whatever UHC plan should also have Oscar Goodman or some other celebrity mob lawyer to bat for you. Hospital or insurance company says your terminal illness is not covered and therefor they can't provide you with costly treatment? Have Oscar Goodman call the hospital and inform them of how he'll destroy them professionally and personally, and witness the change from cold-hearted hospital administrator to attentive caregiver before your very eyes!

yeah, more like "lovely reform that no one wants because it would make 90% of worse off and will only cover 5% of people by 2013 if we're lucky. It was also written primarily by lobbyists working for the health insurance industry and turns out it's going to be a huge windfall for them. Join the FFL because you'll have a better chance of coming out alive"

If it weren't for lobbyists we'd never have bailouts masquerading as reform.

haha, this piece-of-poo poo legislation isn't everything they could have done unless you mean for the insurance and pharma industries

just about anyone could have done a better job with this legislation, that's such bullshit hyperbole

Not to be contrarian or anything, but everyone involved with this from the closed-door Senate committees to the Insurance Lobby to respectable network news organizationns are calling this bill "reform", and I trust the opinion of people respected by these circles over some poster on an internet forum who reads bills.

wtf? what particulars are they even talking about?

Hospitals and other direct care providers are no longer required to apply lubrication (or any other viscosity-reducing solution) when declining to provide health care to Americans. There was actually a three day provision that was removed due to children waiting an extended period of time to be refused health care. Now we're able to withhold vital life-saving procedures from children at a faster pace than before due to unnecessary bureaucratic loopholes.

there's a happy medium between managed care and fee-for-service, and it's called NOT ALLOWING DOCTORS TO OWN LABS OR MAKE PROFITS ON CHEMO DRUGS THEY DELIVER but noooo, we can't deincentivize doctors who self-refer because that wouldn't be hewing to the free market

Instead of copying any of this down, my nurse instead has chosen to tell you that you need to come in for an office visit due to liability reasons. After waiting 120 minutes and paying the $60 co-pay prescribed by your Insurance company, I will review a few comments made in your chart and suggest that the next time you need a band-aid changed you immediately go to the ER.

* I will also be billing you an extra $30 for checking your blood pressure.

Hey Willa, although your blood pressure is completely within the norms for someone ten years your junior, I do recall you mentioning that one of your relatives has high blood pressure and since we cannot rule out genetics I'm going to prescribe some blood pressure medication for you to take, and next time you visit I'll yell at your for not listening to my advice when slinging pills at non-existent ailments. Don't you know I can get sued for malpractice for this??!!!
