If it’s Monday, it must be another tired attempt to reanimate the health care bill in Congress. Maybe it’s time to pull the plug and put us out of it’s misery. Today President Obama met with the nation’s governors and made a final push to pass some kind of health care reform legislation. The White House will not scrap all previous plans and start anew, as has been suggested by both sides, but instead will push the Senate plan, with the new proposal to create a Health Insurance Rate Authority to provide oversight and assistance that will help states conduct reviews of “unreasonable rate increases.”
Naturally, the Republicans immediately rejected the idea, slamming it as a massive government takeover of the health care industry. As the Washington Post reports, “This new Democrats-only backroom deal doubles down on the same failed approach that will drive up premiums, destroy jobs, raise taxes, and slash Medicare benefits,” said House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio). “This week’s summit clearly has all the makings of a Democratic infomercial for continuing on a partisan course.”
At this point Obama could promise to take every American out for ice cream out of his own pocket, and the NeoCons would accuse him of some devious plot to infect the nation with Diabetes.
We’ll debate this nonsense, deconstruct the CPAC circus, the NATO airstrike that killed Afghan civilians, and much more madness on the program tonight! 877-996-2556
But, I already have diabetes. Update needed: Are the Cheney and Bush Crime thugs in prison yet for the 911 inside job?
Thanks alot Barack, for taking the worst aspects of the Senate bill, and including them in the new version. Keep sucking that corporate dick, you cowardly whore !!!!
medicare for all. simple, tested, universal, single payer. moves the USA onto the same playing field competitively as the rest of the first world.
if the usual suspects in both parties voted against, they would be labeled as anti-medicare. simple politics, really. LBJ would have loved it.
instead, we have this piece of crap from obama, emmanuel and the insurance and pharma scumbags.
there is not enough lipstick. kill this pig.
These fuckin demoRAT whores must be actually trying to become the minority again.That way they will have another excuse for not getting anything done for the 95% of us forgotten suckers
Welcome to Spokane! We’re very glad you are here!
I only wished the mainstream media would devote more time on the horrible innocent slaughter of those afghan civilians. That is just heart-breaking. But this country has been so numbed up and dumbed down that they feel more rage and anger when their favorite American Idol contestant gets voted off moreso than worry about some B.S. bombing campaign that killed some foreign people. It’s absolutely ridiculous! The masses are asses I tell ya. Keep up the good fight, Mike!
thanks Mike and Kathy for all you do!
you are true patriots when it is not very comfortable to be true patriots.
please don’t stop doing what you do so well… saying things no one else dares to say-we luv ya-Spud
