so what do you call it when you fire the inspector general because you can..?or fire the president of gm.? or fly around in a private jet at the tax payers expense while criticizing others for doing the same.or send the thugs from the IRS after people for any and no reason.but youre buddies whom you elect to youre cabinet get free passes for doing a job which requires no real brain power.FEARMONGERING.. by the way the president fired the inspector general because the inspector general refused to allow stimulus funds to flow in the wrong direction.That direction being one of the presidents best friends.FEARMONGERING..??

"If you support Obama's healthcare schemes...you are all going to die."
You are mostly correct, but you left out one very important part. Let me rephrase it to show the whole truth.
"If you support Obama's healthcare schemes...WE are all going to die."
@writewinger:
It's actually a plausible thought. PrezBO has already done several unconstitutional things, and they're bound to keep coming. Since when was intimidating GM's Rick Wagoner into resigning a constitutional move by the government?

If you support Obama's healthcare schemes...you are all going to die.

Well, you reap what you sew. Someone voted this socialist “GOD” into office and all of his angles. Not I or anyone I know wanted the “CHANGE”. I literally want to know if we can have a re-count like in Iran because I smell a bad stench that will take years to get out of here. We are a country of sheep and Prezbo is coming with a sickle to run your life.

On the other hand, you have to admit Prezbo and his followers had their plan together to perfection. Where on this earth could a government be taken over without one gun being fired and over half of the population chanting “give me more CHANGE and please take care of me”!....Pathetic SHEEP.

Debbie, its already to late. NY and CA are broke. the federal reserve is printing worse worthless money for them to pay their bills.
INFLATION going to rears its ugly head

I can remember the doc coming to our house and fixin' us up. he charged somewhere around $15 for the visit and before he left he had coffee and something to eat before he had to go fix someone else. I was born after ww2, quite awhile ago but........

where did those doc's go? did gubmint have something to do with their disappearance???

oh! I said 15 $'s not $17,000,000,000,000. of course that was when $15 was money...

Let him call it what he wants. I get the feeling this thing will not fly- more and more each day are against this. There is a limit to Americans tolerance and having a hack tell them how to run their health is probably the limit.

Obama's a complete joke. Lies almost as effortlessly as Clinton, just isn't as good at it. The lies are as thick as crows on junebugs.

its been done by both parties. with absolute effect

What about the "if we fail to pass this 787 Billion Dollar stimulus package, our economy will fail" nonsense. I suppose that wasn't fearmongering, just the sobering reality. Well President Ofraudya, this is just the sobering reality of what will happen if we pursue government-run healthcare. Oh, and the main difference between Conservative and Socialist "fearmongering"- Conservative fearmongering is based on fact and logic. Need proof? Europe is starting to realize that they cannot sustain healthcare as it is.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!!! You need government run healthcare.

As long as medical providers are forced to practice defensive medicine, costs are going to continue to rise. Doctors are not perfect, but consumers expect perfection. Anytime results are less than perfection, lawsuits follow. As long as third parties are paying, such as government or private insurance companies, they get to make the final decision about care. Pay your doctor directly, and watch your costs drop. A large part of the cost of healthcare is paid to administration to track claims, resolve disputes, figure and collect copays, etc. If we handled food distribution the way medical payments are handled, your groceries would cost thousands. But, you go to the store of your choice, select the groceries you desire, and pay for them. No getting prior approval from the third party that will be paying for them, figuring a percentage that is to be paid before consumption, and then getting a bill 60 or 90 days later for the balance not covered. Stop surrendering control of your life to others!!!

“You won’t fundamentally solve the problems in business until you solve the problem of spiraling health-care costs, which is driving everybody crazy,” he added.

When I saw this quote (someone in Obama administration, I believe) I thought that someone should identify the costs. This type of focus may help reduce costs more effectively than government mandates. Sometimes, fear is a valid motivational tool (fear of starvation may help you get yourself to work in the morning).

I'm going to mention some fundamental economics as I understand them (supply, demand, etc.).

How much does health insurance (or health payment/spending plan, as some people use it) cost? If you get a generic family plan from Blue Cross I think this is about $1,000 per month or $12,000 a year. This seems like a convenience for the families who really should just be buying emergency care insurance. Do people realize that insurance is just legalized gambling? Insurance companies are "the house", while the person buying the insurance is "betting to get sick" or "betting to have house damage".

I remember someone mentioning that half of all health care expenditures occur in the last 6 months of a person's life. Perhaps we should focus on their being comfortable as they pass even if people pass more quickly rather than wasting money on prolonging someone's suffering.

People are living longer. As a result, people have more time to get sick and spend more money throughout their lives on health care. I believe the vast majority of medical spending is on the elderly, which is a growing population. This tends to be expensive care, often funded through the government (Medicare/Medicaid). I see far too many people riding in their wheelchair-like scooters when they should probably be getting the exercise of walking.

Also, many people jump to take their children to the doctor when the child has a little sniffle. More people currently have health insurance than 20 or 30 years ago. People with health insurance are more likely to go to the doctor. This increased demand results in higher prices and possibly lower quality of care. Mandating price results in reduced supply and/or decreased quality. Mandating universal coverage results in decreased quality and/or increased price.

Cuba, Britian, Canada. Need I say more? Have we so quickly forgotten the bird flu, swine flu? Who did the world turn to for answers? It sure wasn't NOW but the US's very own CDC.

AM radio reported this morning that many VA patients have contracted blood-borne diseases, including Hep B & C and AIDs, thanks to shoddy sanitary practices used for PROCTOLOGICAL exams. In other words, the VA has been scoping the bowels of its patients with dirty scopes and given them AIDS.

This is the face of Nationalized Health Care. But as it was reported on AM radio, it is sure to be dismissed by the Mainstream Media as fear mongering.

Just pray you don't get sick in the not-too-distant future. Or if you do, let's hope you have worked out a deal with the local undertaker. No point in donating your organs; the recipient will not survive the post-op infection.

The lefties ignore the alternate proposals offered up by the opposition.

And once again the Obama administration has chosen to ignore the CBO (which has been right in every instance so far this year).

"net increase in federal budget deficits of about $1.0 trillion over the 2010-2019 period. When fully implemented, about 39 million individuals would obtain coverage through the new insurance exchanges. At the same time, the number of people who had coverage through an employer would decline by about 15 million (or roughly 10 percent), and coverage from other sources would fall by about 8 million, so the net decrease in the number of people uninsured would be about 16 million or 17 million."

Wow a trillion to benefit 17 million. That's $58823 per person. And what about the remaining 22 million (39-17)???

This is a TERRIBLE plan. And yes, there are others out there.

Rule #1 - Any criticism of King Hussein is to be defined as 'hate speech'

Rule #2 - There are no additional Rules

Could it be that those fears are REAL fears and that his wunnerful plan does NOT address those fears but instead intensify them? Say it isn't so, Copyleft

I can't understand why this even has a chance to succeed with the Governments track record. Anything they control becomes corrupt and mismanaged: Medicare, Social Security, The VA and, if they succeed, Government Controlled Healthcare. I agree that healthcare costs are spiraling out of control but Government ownership is not the answer. It's failed miserably in any other country that's tried or is currently using it and with the amount debt this country has this is only going make things much, much worse. Wise up people and tell your congressmen to toss this out like so much other worthless garbage.

For the last 37 years, I have had private insurance. During this time, part of the time I have paid my own premiums, and part of the time my employer paid them. I have always picked my own doctors and hospitals. I always received the treatments, surgeries, and prescriptions my doctor thought I required, never turned down or waited once for approval. I have been very pleased with the health care my insurance provided, and I don't want the Federal Government screwing with what I have. Now tell me Copy, why is this Fearmongering, and what is broken with the system?

The Kenyan Sociopath is at it again. Fearmongering? For the love of sweet baby Jesus, that is all HE and libs do on EVERY issue. That is their expertise - creating imaginary villains and crises and making people clamor to them for help. How can he say this with a straight face?

He said with GM, "We don't want to be in the business of running auto companies....", right after he fired the CEO, set fuel standards, told them what cars to build, what investors to get paid back, etc.!

Now, he says the same thing yesterday about healthcare, "We don't want gov't to run healthcare..." WTF!!!!!!!!!

CopyWrong continues to be the dribbling stinkin' libtard troll as per usual. Listen up to reality folks: sure, the health care in America is not perfect. In fact, when you look at it, a lot of the run away costs are BECAUSE of government. But don't tell that to moronic libtards like CopyWrong.

Second, that 46 million that are uninsured you always here the bed wetting libtard Neo-Marxists whine about? About 17 million of them CAN afford health insurance and choose not to, another 15 million are estimated to be illegal immigrants, and finally, the remaining 14 million are truly in need of some plan.

Now let's get this straight about the mindset of libtardism on gubment run health care: destroy all private businesses that comprise 1/8th of the US economy and turn it over to the wonderful, highly efficient and competent government (and yes, bed wetters, we know the military, cops, firemen, etc. are government - grow up for once in your wretched lives) just to help the 7% who truly deserve an assistance plan is NOT the answer.

Finally, some jackass libtard like CopyWrong must have been brain absent (like so many other libtards) during the last 8 years of fear mongering over Bush & Cheney - and it is STILL going on.
