Bzzzzzzzt. Try again. As jackmccullough pointed out, Traitor Lieberman tooted his own horn to the Connecticut Post, for HAVING PROPOSED THE IDEA OF ALLOWING MEDICARE BUY-IN AT AGE 55 -- IN SEPTEMBER. And now the sonofabitch is threatening a filibuster if any such proposal is included in this health care reform bill!
W?T?F?
Watch the weasel's words spew straight from his bought-and-paid-for, filthy lips:
Imagine if you had the same family medical issues you currently have, but were INELIGIBLE FOR INSURANCE because you lost your job at some point early in your medical problems and were DENIED COVERAGE DUE TO PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.
Imagine if you and your family didn't have ANY insurance because you were priced out of the market PURPOSEFULLY by the insurance companies and your government didn't provide you with ANY option to care for your family aside from showing up at the emergency room as needed and then absconding on the bill, passing off the cost of your family's care on everyone WITH insurance.
How you can be so OBLIVIOUS to this concept is beyond my comprehension.
Wow. . . a poster who has no idea who Joe Lieberman is!!! A breath of foul air!!!! Joe Lieberman has no conscience!!!!!!!!!!
May I use some of the words of another New England Congressman to tell all what public option really is. Barney Frank tells, on a youtube, a man from the single payer group that they don't have the votes to pass single payer but public option is the first step toward it. To me that says that Barney is a socialist and is trying to get that guy to lay off for good reason.
Throw old Barney, Dodd, and Schumer out as soon as possible.
I am sooooo sick of Lieberman! A breath of "foul air" indeed. I think he would sell is own mother if he had the chance.
He pulled the wool over Dirty Harry's eyes, didn't he? He is an American and doesn't lean far enough left to vote for a purely socialist piece of crap.
People of Connecticut PLEEEZE vote this bum out of office! Not supporting a public option was bad enough, but now he plainly tells Reid that he will also not vote for any bill that extends Medicare coverage to people 55-64. This guy is so bought by the Health Insurance industry that he might as well walk around with a flashing placard that says as much.
The first thing I would do if he kills reform is strip Lieberman of all his chairmanships and comities and kill every bill he is a part of. If he wants to be a republican let him caucus with those losers.
