Boehner on Dems Health Care Plan: Higher Premiums, Higher Taxes, Fewer Jobs’
affordable health insurance plans
gopleader.gov House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) appeared at a news conference with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) today to highlight the fact that House and Senate health care legislation would lead to higher premiums, higher taxes, fewer jobs for struggling families, and fewer Medicare benefits for seniors. Boehner outlined how Democrats plans put the nation on a path to government-run health care and noted that Republicans have offered better solutions to lower the cost of health care and increase access to affordable health insurance. Following are Boehners remarks Americans want reform of their health care system, not a trillion-dollar experiment that increases premiums, raises taxes, cuts Medicare benefits, destroys jobs, and jeopardizes the health coverage for millions of our fellow citizens. That can hardly be called reform. The Democrats plans put us on a path to government-run health care. Now, how do they do that? If you like what you have, you cant keep it. Independent experts have made it clear that their bill will force millions of Americans off of their current plan into the government-run plan. The federal government will stack the deck in favor of the government plan. There will be no competition among health insurance providers. And because the federal government has no cost of capital, and they set all the rules, they’ll drive all their competitors out of business. The pay-or-play mandate in the House bill would push employers …

This french fried lying con-artist makes me sick. He spews his blatant lies and then claims that his sources are independent experts. Independent experts what the fuck is that? Who are these so-called experts? We will never know because they don’t exist. Boner is a disgraceful liar. He refuses to debate a Democrat or answer any unfiltered questions because he knows that he is a sold out lying con-artist.

Your Obama/socialist-loving incompetent B.S. is really getting old! The govt-run health plan is NOT the answer to health care reform and only a blind backwards idiot can’t see that or a liberal socialist-lover who just wants to push govt-controlled programs to take over all aspects of capitalism in our country!
Nobody believes your pathetic rants and slanderous LIES and B.S.! You’re just a blind Obama lover full of hate for anyone against your god! You only want this PO because Obama does!

Richard has made some good points. Your response is more of the same sophomoric name calling rhetoric that you are known for. If you dont have a point to make shut the fuck up. The repukes are losing public support and they’re getting desperate. Everything Boehner just said is a lie and you know it. If you don’t know then educate yourself. The republicans count on the ignorance of their followers to push their corrupt agenda.

Yeah right, you and your pal Richard are both full of crap! All you do is spew the same LIES and B.S. liberal propaganda that you’re being fed from that corrupt White House, liberal Congressional Democrats, all those hate-mongering liberal radical groups like Media Matters, Move On, Daily Kos, etc. and MSNBS! You’re allowing these radical left-wing extremists to make an ass out of you by believing their lying B.S. and for pushing their socialist agenda that’s so destructive for our country!

Natasha Richardson died because of a inept system that after 14 hours and 3 hospitals no one, not a single doctor let alone a neurologist could properly diagnose her in the Canadian system. That’s real compassion? Making everyone’s healthcare equal if people prematurely die? Go watch Steven Crowder video on Canadian healthcare.

Crowder is a limbaugh jr. He thinks that his sarcastic smartass BS is funny but I prefer the facts.
Natasha Richardson didn’t get to a hospital in time because she was in the middle of nowhere when she was injured.
If our HC system is better than Canadas why do they live three years longer than we do.
Why don’t they have to choose between their house and their doctor, suffering or homelessness, pain or bankruptcy, living or loosing everything that they have? -

Yeah, I know SaveRepublic, Obama’s entire campaign was nothing but a deceitful and corrupt sham on uniformed and gullible Americans who unfortunately couldn’t see through all the B.S., lies, hypocrisy and corruption! This is probably the most dirty and unethical White House in history and they are doing everything they can to hide the truth behind this scandalous administration. Obama’s radical agenda is falling fast as more Americans are now seeing through this lying radical scam artist!

Azcardzfan, I checked out the Steven Crowder video that you suggested. The Canadian health care system is sub-standard and criminally negligent, I believe, for the deaths of thousands of people who would never have died under the health care system we have in the U.S. The thought of radical liberal extremists dismantling our system to replace it with a flawed and inept govt. system is insane and irresponsible. We can’t allow this damaging public option to destroy our great health care system!

You are so full of crap, it’s pathetic! You never have any facts, all you do is repeat the same B.S. liberal talking points from left-wing hate groups and your god Obama and other corrupt Democrats. You don’t have a clue about what a public option would do to our health care system. You think you know more than the GOP leader and a Canadian who’s lived under a PO system? LOL

I am also a woman who had 3 c-sections. I had the first one because of after 12 hours of labor there were complications. Because my pelvis would not give I had to have my others by c-section. The c-section was a lot easier than the 12 hours labor. And I get to pick the dates.
You commented no matter what side of the aisle you’re on asking this woman to sterilized was wrong I was just curios if it was the gov. instead of the insurance co. asking if it made a difference thats all. -

What is so great about government healthcare. The Medicare is #1 at denying medical claims according to the AMA.
I know a girl who was turned down by Medicare after being diagnosed inoperable brain tumors. Turned down because she had a life insurance policy. It
is an asset. If you’re a dead beat you can get it.
Democrats don’t want tort reform because they collect millions from trial lawyers. -

My first one was after 63 hours of hard labor and complications. I never made it past 2 cent. Because of that I had no choice but to have the 2nd one that way and of course you get to pick the date because it is a scheduled surgery. I wish I could have done it naturally as women who do tend to bounce back faster. I wouldn’t choose to have one even though the labor did suck big time. To me if the gov did it it would be just as wrong.

She wasn’t on medicare and turned down.. she wanted medicare and they told her she could not have it because she did not meet the requirements. I do agree that the requirements are messed up and that is exactly what they are trying to fix right now which is why I am all for it. If this passes your friend will be able to get health care.

The folks who actually have medicare would kill you if you tried to take it away from them… That should tell you right there that they are satisfied. Why do you think that none of the politicians will dare threaten to take medicare away? Also why do you think the republicans are trying to use it being cut as a scare tactic… Because they know that if people on it thought they were in danger of losing it they will freak. Of course they aren’t in danger.. but none the less.

Medical malpractice cases account for less that 1% of the cost of healthcare. Republican proposals will not insure the uninsured. Republicans do not care about the uninsured. They care about the 10s of millions of dollars that they receive from the health insurance industry.
