Health Care Bill Could Face Senate Roadblock

Full story: News on 6 Tulsa

The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.

This is the change Obama promised us. I enjoy great health care for myself and my family, but this victory is not all about how the change will enhance or diminish my rights; it's about a collective victory for all Americans (that includes me), that ensures that none amongst us is deprived of health care that is as fundamental as life itself. The Republican Party, the party of "NO" has become more bellicose and claiming that this was not in the spirit of bipartisanship. I disagree; the GOP were given an opportunity to weigh in and cast their vote just like the Democrats were and the figures speak for themselves as 39 Democrats voted against the Bill and only 1 Republican voted for the Bill. The Democratic Party did not muscle or muzzle their fellow members to vote one way or another. This is true Democracy at its best; give me a break you rightwingers; you lost the general election and the majority of the people in the House and the Senate now are represented by the Democratic Party who represent the wishes of the American people. I frankly believe that some members of the GOP have lost their minds because they keep ranting and raving on the media and it reminds me of a lunatic pounding the padded walls of his cell to no avail!

Get our troups BACK onto AMERICAN SOIL to locate those who have infiltrated this country as communist takeovers. ILLEGALS that do NOT love our country and INSIST we speak their language instead of them learning English! They will not fight for this country, they are fighting AGAINST IT at this moment! They plant to take it over! Have taken over our JOBS, our HEALTHCARE for our people, our elderly and our poor! They have named our building their country names! TYRANY! MUTANY! THROW THEM OUT NOW! Before it's too late and a civil war breaks out to run them out! They are killing our country before our very eyes!
You want to talk health plan? That's the plan mister! GET RID OF THE SLACKERS! The invaiders that leach our tax dollars by the billions instead of helping our sick and elderly. DO SOMETHING TO GET THEM OUT and KEEP THEM OUT!

I see how great H.R. 3962 bill is. If you do not buy insurance for at least $1,500 a year you could end up in jail and or fined up to $250,000.00 and that is suppose to be a good thing? The right to choose is theirs or public but YOU HAVE TO BUY IT OR GO TO JAIL OR GET FINED. That is a violation of all our rights. This was reported by an independent non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation. Everyone will also have to pay a 2.5% tax to pay for this free health care that will be affordable. So you have to buy $1,500.00 in insurance or face jail time and you get to pay 2.5% in taxes. Gees this is change you can believe in.

This bill also only covers 2% of the uninsured. It will not help the majority but it will help illegals. And Americans will once again pay for it. God you have to love it.

Curious that every industrialized nation except this one has universal health care and I can testify first hand that it's working, in Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, etc. I'm appalled at the very strange and violent opposition to the bill, especially when all the polls show a large majority of US citizens support the bill, even though many don't feel the bill goes far enough. It's socialist? It will help illegals? Where the heck does all that garbage eminate? Are you all that stupid?

IT SADDENS ME THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE LIKE “AMERICAN CITIZEN TOTALLY” IN THIS COUNTRY. HOW DID THE COUNTRY FOUNDED ON THE IDEA OF ALL MEN BEING CREATED EQUAL TURN INTO “LETS MAKE EVERYONE LEARN ENGLISH” AND “BRING OUR TROOPS HOME TO GET RID OF THE ILLEGALS.” NEWS FLASH, THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED BY A BUNCH OF MEN WHO GOT TOGETHER AND DECIDED TO ILLEGALLY TAKE CONTROL. I AGREE THAT EVERY PERSON WHO CROSSES OUR BOARDERS SHOULD BE PROCESSED LEGALLY AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL STEPS TO CITIZENSHIP, BUT AS FOR AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE, PLEASE. AMERICA WAS FOUNDED BY PEOPLE FROM DOZENS OF COUNTRIES, HUNDREDS OF CULTURES, AND NEARLY AS MANY LANGUAGES BETWEEN THEM. GET OVER YOURSELF OR LOCK THAT BUNKER YOU HAVE STOCKED WITH GUNS, CANNED FOOD, AND BOTTLED WATER AND LEAVE THE “CIVILIZED” WORLD ALONE ALREADY. AND WHILE YOU’RE AT IT, MAKE SURE LINDSEY GRAHM AND SEAN HANADY MAKE IT IN BEFORE YOU LOCK IT DOWN FOR GOOD.(YOU CAN INVITE RUSH IF YOU WANT, BUT YOUR LIFETIME SUPPLY OF MRE’S WILL BE GONE BY MONTHS END.) JUST SOME HELPFUL ADVICE FROM THIS WHACKED OUT SOCIALIST WHO HAS THE GUL TO CALL MYSELF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND SPEAK 2 LANGUAGES…. HASTA LUEGO HOMBRE!

No one in this country is "deprived" of health care! Nor is health care, subsidized by others, a "fundamental right". You seem to have confused the United States Constitution with something else... the Communist Manifesto, perhaps!

I hope all of you that support this bill never need health care. Especially if you are elderly and have other health problems. If so, sucks to be you, because once we get on nationalized health care, you will be told when you can and cant have medical attention. If the government doesn't think you are worthy of treatment, you're not getting it. Hello people, go poll the folks in Great Britain. See what they think of it. Barack Obama, you sir, along with Pelosi, Reid, and all the rest of the socialists up there in Congress are a bunch of morons.

Bri,

I see that you are posting from Colorado....the liberal's playground. Keep your pro-choice (baby killing), civil union (queer marriage), and progressive (one world government) opinions focussed in your own Nanny state. Our elected representatives have spoken, and, they are acting on behalf of their constituents. We "conservatives" look to God for liberty and freedom, not to government. Additionally, we don't want anything from the government that is not explicitly granted by the Constitution. Name me one government entity that operates efficiently. Do you EVER use FedEx or UPS? If you answer yes, then...you have just demonstrated your lack of faith in a government entity. The government can't successfully administer a flu vaccine.......and now you think they should be in charge of health care? Keep smoking your medical grade whacky weed and, mind your own business.

Don't worry about him. He doesn't need medical insurance. He gets his medicines in a bottle and he drinks them all day and night. His liver will kill him off well before he has to worry about turning 65 and being royallyscrewedover by Obamacare! This is why little old ladies hate him and his own grandmother beats him!

Pathetic GOP responses. They all have health insurance via the socialistic federal gov' t they work for. They are typical E.K. Gaylord Okies. Preexisting condition no problem
denied. A woman.. denied no insurance for you. Get really sick ha no coverage for you. The talk radio zombies rule.

Now you see why our country and wall street went down the tubes. We have 6000000 in Oklahoma with no insurance and the million dollar bonus captavates the insurance undustry. Our leaders are going on vacation and were paying for it.

It's unfortunate that so many people actually thinks that health care is a right.

What this argument is about isn't about health care. You an walk into any emergency room and get care. It is illegal for hospitals to turn you away on "ability to pay."

What this argument is about having OTHER PEOPLE pay for your health care.

That's the bottom line. Our most hard hit are ALREADY COVERED...Medicare, Medicaid.

the government should fix THOSE first and PROVE they can do ANYTHING efficiently.

To those who claim "other nations are doing it"...well? Why don't you move THERE then?

Seriously. Why not?

We have THIS nation, a nation we love, it's not perfect, but its the best game in town.

And you COULD move to those OTHER nations if you like those societies so much instead of changing our society.

But the fact is, 58% of the ENTIRE NATION now believes the next president will be a republican.

60% of INDEPENDENTS think the same thing. 51% of WOMEN think the same thing.

Only 31% of democrats think they'll hold the WH again.

49% say they would OPPOSE Obama, only 45% would support him if the election were held today.

And get this, NO CHALLENGER WAS NAMED! Obama would lose BECAUSE he is OBAMA. Not even because a challenger was better, PEOPLE just wouldn't vote for OBAMA again!

LOLOlololrotflmao......

Independents would OPPOSE him by a 2 TO 1 MARGIN!

ROTflmaooooooooo.....

Oh you idiot liberals....you just don't understand how much this nation is starting to loathe your policies.

If you don't like it here, move. Go live where they have a high percentage of social policies, and leave THIS nation alone.

The beauty is, you're going to get washed out in 2010 if you don't straighten up.

16 million people on the edge of destitution. A man, was going to rob a check cashing place, the woman begged him to pray. He completely broke down and prayed.

He was desperate to get money to feed his 7 year old daughter.

Yes liberals, keep screwing around with something NOT A SINGLE POLL IN AMERICA say is a top priority.

America is a wonderful place. She gets the right leadership she needs at just the right time.

She has a way of shaking of parasites that would destroy her.

And you guys are heading for a wipeout in 2010.

And the beauty is, more and more MEDIA people woke up, heard the message from the voters....

And are looking at Obama and the democrats saying WTF?

Even Eleanor Clift wrote an article that basically said WTF? She is now advocating TAX CUTS! WELCOME TO THE COMMON SENSE SIDE Eleanor!

The MEDIA got the message from Tuesday "Its' the economy, stupid."

But the democrats seems completely tone deaf, as Clift ALSO points out.

How did you like that idiot Owens from NY23 breaking 4 campaign promises to the people?

Yep, he claimed he was against the government option, then he voted FOR it. He claimed he was opposed to the medicare cuts, and he voted for a plan that DOES ....

He is an accident, and Owens knows it. He's gone in 2010. And it will be a wholesale WIPE OUT as he is tossed out on his stupid rear end.

Chalk another loser up for the democrats.
