Obama is just as corrupt as any other president before him

[Sirrus_Asura]

Fuck. I'm not middle aged yet. I gotta deal with that shit all over again.

>_<

[Beckwin]

ok, now I'm pissed

White House appears ready to drop 'public option' - Yahoo! News

they're letting the terrorists win. absolutely refuckingtarded. time to drop that democratic voter registration card, going socialist now.

jesus fucking christ.

this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me, it's off to kuya-land now.

[Kuya]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

edit: i don't see how the most ardent liberals are going to accept this, in fact, i think they're going to flip out

[Beckwin]

this was the one thing I thought I could count on at this point that would be a legitimate, positive, meaningful change in American life and now it's seemingly gone.

should I reverse some stereotypes and get hitched with an asian girl so I can get a green card? I just want a country that can at least take care of it's people's well-being.

[Plow]

Fuckin A.

I agree with him on this:

"In the coming weeks, the cynics and the naysayers will continue to exploit fear and concerns for political gain," he wrote. "But for all the scare tactics out there, what's truly scary — truly risky — is the prospect of doing nothing."

But this pretty much is doing nothing.

What the fuck.

[Headspace]

I'm not sure how I feel on this. Reform could lower costs, but i honestly don't see it working, especially with this anti-obama gop

[Demosthenes11]

god damnit

[Ryuushin]

I don't like that he's giving up so easily but I don't blame Obama though.. even with a democratic majority, he has a handful of opposition. It is scary that people like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh.. aka right extremists are winning this debate but what's even scarier is that there are Americans who believe their crap >_>

Like the funny, rational Adam Carolla has said.. if it doesn't work, it would simply go away. (In this case, the right extremists) but it hasn't so it apparently fear mongering is working.

How close do you live to Canada?

[archibaldcrane]

If the public option is gone, what's even left really?

[Ryuushin]

If the public option is gone, what's even left really?

"Regulation" I assume? I believe there's something in the reform that prevents insurance companies from rescinding insurance policies. I'm not 100% sure though.

[Sirrus_Asura]

GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER. =(

Obviously.

[Beckwin]

it was something that was a relatively mild approach that could be rammed through congress and then it would enter social security/medicare territory of being political suicide to ever fuck with, but no. fucking bullshit retardedness

[Skjie]

Yea, I'm not really seeing hows this could get fucked up. Its pretty simple and direct.

Your system is designed to do this exactly. While Majority Canadian Governments can be a bad thing, our system is 1000 times better than yours when it comes to passing bills cleanly and simply.

[Skjie]

Wow, not even a page later and I'm right.

PS: Unless you have a useful education (Doctor, trades, etc) please stay out of my country, Beckwin.

[Beckwin]

your country has too many doctors iirc.

how about we trade spots since you like the idea of free market healthcare better?

[Skjie]

Ironically, my country has both too few doctors and too few nurses due to a lot of younger ones moving to America to make more money. Also ironically, members of my family travel to California to get some treatments done.

Go figure that.

[Beckwin]

move 'em all to america! clean out the line-jumpers from countries willing to provide for the health of their citizen
