One question? What is a Libertarian / Republican? Never heard of one. Someone is either a Libertarian OR they are a Republican. The two aren't the same. Are you a Libertarian Democrat?

really? because I know of many Libertarians who vote Republican based on issues such as gun rights, smaller Government and taxes, etc. They vote that way because these issues are also part of the GOP platform and they know that a Libertarian canidate will never make it to the White House so instead of throwing their vote away they vote for the GOP.

First of all Obama is not proposing a Government run healthcare system like Canada or the UK's NHS. The closest thing that we have to those systems is ironically the VA and their Government run hospitals & clinics. People in the US who have Medicare or Medicaid are free to choose from any doctor they want as long as they accept it. That is a single payor system and for the most part it works very well, the patient has the choice to choose which doctor or clinic or hospital and the Government pays the bill at a negotiated rate. The uninsured are the ones that get billed for $10 Tylenols at an ER and that is the reason why more than half of the bankruptcies in the US are for medical bills most people can't pay.
Once again Stossel is misleading because what Obama & Congress are proposing is not Government run healthcare.
Props to you for actually commenting on the story and not the source.

So then you admit that reporting from any self-proclaimed liberal/democrat is also biased? Or does this only apply to conservatives?

Yeah, but the Peanut Gallery doesn't really want to deal with that or much else actually related to health care. They have a different agenda.

Sshhh do not use the word ObamaLand because he has plans to take over Disney and give a free lifetime pass to losers who have never been there.

Afterall it is their RIGHT to get a free expense paid trip to Disney World, no I mean Obamaland on those of us who actually pay taxes and work for a living.

Everyone, even the Obama mobsters know this bill is rubbish but they as usual follow the leader into the black hole of doom.
