Better than that: You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a MAN. Anybody willing to let our nation suffer & spread disease is a self-center boor only interested in personal gain & no community responsibility.
It's this kind of ignorance that got a socialist coward elected president, and is driving out nation towards ruin.
This horrible HC bill better not pass, or the country is finished..!

California???? Isn't that the state that has INSISTED on putting more and more people on the government dole?? Paying benefits to illegal aliens?? Pushing more and more citizens to flee California because of their tax, tax, and tax more policies of taking from the producers and giving to the water drinkers!! Isn't this the same California that is on the brink of BANKRUPTCY??? Now we want to let people who have ruined that state talk about morality and reach into our pockets??? Not me...not ever.....
i like jesse alot but i think we are broke and cant afford the current health plan. we need a poor man HMO and leave the rest alone. no more 1st class tickets for folks lookin for a handout.
There was another thread on this earlier. My response:
Jesse Jackson is an idiot. The NAACP protested proposed cuts to Medicare Advantage in 2007 because the cuts would disproportionately negatively impact low-income and minority seniors. Why is Jackson okay with that now?
The NAACP's 2007 position on Medicare Advantage (MA = Medicare Advantage):
NAACP: "MA plans — private health plan options that provide coverage to 8.3 million Medicare beneficiaries — disproportionately provide coverage to low-income and racial and ethnic minority beneficiaries. Specifically, 40 percent of African Americans without Medicaid or employer coverage rely on comprehensive health insurance coverage provided by MA plans. By providing more comprehensive benefits and lower cost-sharing than traditional Medicare, MA plans help racial and ethnic minority populations gain access to health care services that are critical to their long-term health and well-being."

(NAACP letter is 1/3 of the way down the page)
Is Jackson really on board with accepting less access to comprehensive health care for low-income and minority seniors now? Why?
LOL...is medicare a handout, is social security a handout, is veteran benefits handouts? If thats the measuring stick then the whole entire country should be embarassed....
People worked all their lives and paid into medicare and social security. They PAID with their wages. Is there any valid education in this country anymore?
Jackson is a race baiting crud that has made hos living on the backs of his own race. He thinks he is their pimp.
