Obamacare Vote Proving Fatal to Dems

My doctor is fine with it.

Hey, mine is too..really.

The program will be starved to death.

Can we all agree that the system needs changing? Who would not agree with that statement?

On a personal note - my son's best friend's gf was in a terrible car wreck - see photo

The car was on fire and she was airlifted to OLOL in BR. She has fractured tail bone, neck, back, ribs, not to mention she was in ICU for almost a full week. I mean LOOK at that car!

She was driving her bf's car and the medical on his policy was only $5,000. She was covered under her parent's car insurance for medical (policy follows driver) but that didn't even cover the airlift. Now, she has pretty much been kicked out of OLOL. She tried staying in hotel close to hospital last night with her relatives and bf but didn't make it through the night and had to go back. They did let he in but only to be moved to a re-hab ctr in NELA. I hope she gets the car she needs and unfortunately, I think it likely that her parents will have to go bankrupt due to her bills (which btw, prompt more than 60% of all bankruptcies). If they can carry the bills then I am certain their plans for future retirement have gone out the window - not to mention the financial worry they now have on top of worrying about their daughter's health.

IMHO this is the type of tragedy that should be covered 100% whether a person "deserves it or not" and I would add that I would hope that even if she had been an illegal or "undeserving" that we as a Nation would not turn our backs.

And btw, while I'm posting I have to say that I just don't like the term "Obamacare".

How awful!

Did I correctly read that she didn't have health insurance?

So if this happened a couple years from now, because of this horrible reform plan she would have been required to get health insurance and her family would not have so many financial concerns?

 

[Gidget]

You are correct about it all!

The correct term is Health Care Reform. Obamacare is simply a right wing Tea Bagger buzz word designed to bring up both a President and a law at the same time so that one can be slammed and drag the other down with it.

That's really sad. Unfortunately bad things happen.

If you can't afford the care your family needs what makes you think the gov't can? You can't force a doctor to work for free.

From Maddow's perspective, they might be extremists. But I'm going to bet a vast majority of the populace would argue Maddow fits that description far better than the tea partiers.

.
I would describe her as very liberal, smart, well read, entertaining, real (telling it like it is), fair, and able to interview without shouting down the interviewee.

Most importantly, she isn't running for office so won't be one of the extremists getting elected.

By calling it Obamacare no one will forget his biggest achievement. Why would you not want to call it Obamacare? Aren't liberals proud of this? They used up all their political capital shoving it down our throats despite not wanting it.

Obama is a genius. Everything is going as planned.

Why would I continue to argue with someone who is clearly right all the time? I'm curious why you haven't run for office since you clearly have all the answers.
