May God Save the Insurance Companies!

As we all know, the liberals have been secretly plotting to destroy the health insurance companies in the United States. No one ever spoke about it, but we all knew it. But times have changed. A new wave of brave conservative heroes has risen up against the Obama juggernaut, which is bent on destroying the health insurance industry by introducing a public option (managed by the socialist government that we’ll soon have to bow our heads to). These heroes deserve our support! Let us rise up with them!

Leave your sick family members behind. Forget the crushing debt you have from your emergency hospital visit. Cast aside the sorrow of losing a child to health insurance bureaucracy. Be Americans! Fight against the tyranny of Obama’s health care scheme.

Where is Joe ‘The Plumber’ when you need him?

    waiting lists, gov’t control, no personal choice in insurance.

    waiting lists as in you will have to wait for rationed care because believe it or not, taxes cannot support this entire system.

    gov’t control and no personal choice being that if you or grandma are deemed not worth it financially, the new assisted suicide programs will take care of you.

      haha what the hell do you know about anything? sounds like somebody listens to sarah palin…

      I love it when people act like they know something when they really just regurgitate what they hear on tv.

      I have already waited for care because all the really good doctors already have waiting lists. They are limited by the insurance companies as to what to charge. Great doctors don’t make much more that OK doctors. Insurance companies decide which drugs you get and which surgeries and who gets what when. My 4 year old waited 4 months to see a neurologist because we didn’t want one who had made c’s in med school. There are already waiting lists and rich people who pay cash instead of using insurance at all get first pick of everything. That will always be true. So go succeed at something!!

      I love people who obviously havn’t read the actual bill seeing as there is no assisted suicide plan. It seems AJ your just another mindless drone who swollows everything fox news pulls out of it’s ass. second you can keep your ridiculous private insurance its an public option. I bet everyone of your asses will be on miedicare when your retire…funny how that works.

      I am an American living in France..and I have never waited on any list to see a physician. NO government official tells me what doctor I can and cannot see. Aj you are as anti-american as the lobbiest! Go pick up a book, travel the world, and educate yourself! Yes European’s pay a lot of taxes to help out those who need it, but guess what..American’s pay more..only to be told “your insurance turned down your life saving surgery, because of a pre-existing condition”

      No pre-existing condition ever stopped me from being seen in a French hospital…ever. period.

      check your facts

      You obviously don’t understand the definition of the word “option”.

      Amen AJ! You tell these Moonbats!
      Budget Committee Repubs made great points today – This new “ObamaCare” will stuff our doctor’s waiting rooms full of people who otherwise would end up at Emergency Rooms raising my rates or just plain dead… The more people get insured, the worse it gets for us!! Forget it!
      I loved it when they stuck it to the Dems on that Schumer Bill by pointing out ObamaCare would cost $400 dollars to small businesses instead of the $10k-$14k a year that Insurance companies cost them, forcing Government right up our noses and saving small businesses billions a year, forcing those honest, hard working, monopoly insurers out of high profit margins! No thank you!
      I sure miss the RIGHT government… I’ll sure forgive them sleeping with each other’s wives and playing grabass with page boys if they’re at least deregulating my markets! What the hell is this “governance” thing these lefty commie pinko d-bags are trying??

      That’s right, because government healthcare sucks in England. I mean look at poor Dr. Hawking. A brilliant mind cut short because of government healthcare in England…oh yeah that’s right he’s still alive. Well what about all the other EU countries with government healthcare I mean we hear about how all those people are dieing all the time right…..oh yeah that’s right we only hear about England and Canada because we wouldn’t want to acknowledge that that sort of system actually works. Get a clue, do some research that doesn’t involve parroting whatever you heard on Fox News and then come back and right an intelligent comment.

      write an intelligent comment. If you’re going to blast someone’s lack of intellect I suppose it helps to spell your bile correctly.

      look at canada, the wait times arent bad, and not all hospitals even have wait time of more than a few minutes. you end up with better care because they dont worry about the cost of getting a scan by this machine, or seeing that specialist.

    @ aj
    It’s an OPTION, not required. Every American could still keep their current health care. So you, please, STFU.

    “no personal choice in insurance.”

    Just when I think you can’t say anything more retarded you say;

    “gov’t control and no personal choice being that if you or grandma are deemed not worth it financially, the new assisted suicide programs will take care of you”

    You are a complete and utter MORON.

    I’m with Aron, please STFU

    @aj – health care is already rationed, based on ability to pay. there is a clue out there, go out there and find it!

    Being forced to switch to a different HMO by you/your spouses employer, losing your trusted doctor which you have years of rapport with simply because said doctor is a part of a different system IS NOT CHOICE.

    I’d rather have the government covering every doctor and I can then CHOOSE who I go to, rather that my employer choosing who I can and cannot see!

    Maybe government run health care isn’t the answer (which I don’t believe, but I’d be willing to listen to alternatives) . But health care chosen by your employer is FAR WORSE . It’s not just a matter of what insurance company they choose for you, but whether or not you have it at all! Employers hold ALL the cards here. Government run healthcare gives people options, rather than making them health care slaves that can be fired or downsized at a moment’s notice.

    Aron, You would have to an idiot if you really think that our current employers are going to continue to provide us with health insurance, when its cheaper to pay the fine and let the government do it. Sure you have the “option” of keeping your current plan, if you dont mind covering the entire premium on your own. But then the government “option” would be cheaper still. So I guess you are correct, you have the “option” of being forced into the government plan, or paying a fine yourself. Which would you choose?

    @everyone but aj

    lol maybe you guys should look at what socialized healthcare is like in the countries that have them… not just what you want to see

      Perhaps you should hold off on joining this debate until you learn the difference between “socialized healthcare” and “single-payer health insurance.”
