President Obama and Congressional leaders from both parties discuss reforms to America’s health insurance industry. Held at the Blair House in Washington, DC
why the fuck do these bastards get to have a 1 hour video
Louise Slaughter was the ONLY person through this whole thing that i understood Exactly what she was saying
Thanks for posting this video. The President succinctly describes the problem with the Republican premise. “We could save tax dollars by eliminating the FDA” LOL.
Thank God for Mr. Obama, the only politician in Washington who honestly fights for the average American.
Pass single payer now. It”s a human right. Not a freaking right for corporate CEO’s to get EVEN richer.
4. Should only people who suffer catastrophic events seek health insurance? Well, lets say your answer is Yes!.
In that case, its simply not a profitable business model from the insurance companys perspective. You will only lose money on sick people, unless you jack up premiums to cover the loses. This is what happened in CA. I, for one, still hate the idea of mandated health insurance. BUT, truth is, it probably is the most feasible way of keeping costs down.
3. I AGREE, people should have insurance for catastrophic events. However, what constitutes a catastrophic event? There is no set definition. Injuries suffered in a car accident, when youre not at fault? What if youre technically at fault? Cervical cancer, leukemia, pneumonia? Is losing a finger a catastrophic event? You can still live a pretty normal life, so why should insurance pay for a reattachment of the 2nd distal phalange of the left hand caused by your negligence? See point 1.
2. The problem with so many contracts is that most people CANT read them. The contracts are often intentionally written in an ambiguous language that always benefits the companies. You think youre getting one thing, but some clause in the contract can allow the company to easily wiggle off the hook. Thats how people who think theyre covered can suddenly be dropped without any benefit of the insurance they paid for.

Generally, I agree with you. But…
1. The reason cars today have “those basics” in the first place is because of regulation. Otherwise there would be plenty more cars on the road that do not have a number of what we consider “basics” today. Case in point, it’s because of these regulations that Toyota has to respond to Congress for their negligence, and why Ford has had to answer for the Pinto and the Explorer tires debacle. This is the kind of regulation needed in health care.
Well if the car didn’t have those basics few would buy it. Automakers would quit selling them. Just like no one would buy health insurance if it covered no illnesses. People are capable of reading contracts, they know what their getting. People should be able to buy insurance solely for the things insurance is meant for: catastrophic events.
@ericjaynelson = unless someone is ~cussin and swearin? The “post” should be left. Otherwise ; if you as President ? Cannot stand the “post a text comment” from YouTubers? GO HIDE! ….like Obama has been doing since way last summer. That was the last time he faced any public and allowed it on tape. Even though it was a SCAM with his “planted money peep donation queen” = Kathleen Manning Hall (Google that name) and the worst thing of all? MSLSD edited “OUT” The Halls from their next days video!
I’ve heard that about You Tube b4. That’s ok with me. Any time they have to restrict free speech tells me they r on the defensive and one thing about the truth IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED! I’ve already done my job as a private citizen on this site lol! I’ve already got my share of converts just from this one video. But removing peoples comments is still cowardly!
@ericjaynelson = come back tomorrow. And ALL OUR POSTS?….will be removed by the drones inside the collective hive~~zzz of the crackpot king bee of Obuzzma! (NONE of mine from last week or the week before that remain and only the ones “dear leaders” handlers approve of now are left!) ….its a coven and cult hive now~~~zzzzzzzz! and they hate to have any RAID=(TRUTH) ~~ sprayed onto em! It makes them ~~zzz swarm out and “remove those posts” ~~~ZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!
ericjay = he spent over 2+ hours pontificating pure poopoo nonesense. And the other DIMS? Added on their “city” lies! And they seemed to be SHY ON FACTS …and long on “quoting letters”? No one even was allowed to challenge some of those idiot “letters” as anyone who is ill? Can go to an ER and receive treatment; regardless of insurance or ability to pay. And also go on Medicare or Medicaid. (the system Obama plans on robbing to pay for his Evil Ego Crap Care) …Republicans tried to talk FACTS
Memamma, I agree with you in that I don’t think he has a clue what’s actually in the bill; that’s y he had such a hard time explaining it. People have already forgotten that he tried to slam this bill thru as well; he didn’t count on so much opposition from US; then when he had no choice but to try to explain what was in the bill he could not. It was very bizarre to listen to him talking about the red pill and blue pill instead of just giving US details.
@ericjaynelson = Owebummer did not even want the Republicans to QUOTE?…from the Actual 2400+ pages that WAS UNDER DISCUSSION?…….he says “i guess thats the bill”..????? waaa???……….. Does the guy even know what it looks like? Or have his puppters been edicting it out in their dungeon? And he had never seen it before? ~lol~ !!!! The Republicans wanted to ask “questions”! Odumba wanted to sneer and show his dolls eyed GLARE~ thinking that might keep some Truth From LEAKING OUT=lol!
@iLuvAkeys4ever = another drone for BlowBaama = LYING BY OMMISION! Odumba egoically interuppted over and over and showed us his “progressive pout face” …..as Anytime The Republicans OFFERED ACTUAL MATH? Odumba frowned and then whinned out some more ~magical liberal LIES MATH!………the man is going to Force! = A monstrosity of miss calculations and errors and it will all end in more TAX TAX TAX ! Until it cause us to all go bankrupt? WHERE WILL OWEBUMMER BE THEN? = tax Free island!
Republicans are insane, its clear all they are doing is obstructing any progress, but people are dying every day in america, they should be trying to help solve this problem not stand in the way! Obama needs to move on without them, enough is enough!
Illuminati=ET kin aka gods, Ea, Sirians, YHWH, Satan, Pepsi, angels/demons, dragons, hulu, vampires, bluebloods, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds, Rockefellars etc who rule cults like Freemasonry. Their agenda: continually cull/victimize people via gum/other poisons, Codex Alimentarius, carbon taxes, internet 2, WW3 then stage an alien invasion to get a fascist world government/religion with us chipped. Support Dr Deagle, Stewart Swerdlow, Oracle Broadcasting, gardeners and free-energy technology!
Cantor is so cute, in a non-manly way. Pretty. I wonder what his skin care regime is.
I got dropped from my employer’s ins plan last month. I was 3/4 of a hr short on my avg week to qualify. (nice huh? And I’m by far not the only one) Crap. Can anyone recommend a good private policy??
from 13:00 on, Obama just rapes everyone. Finally someone calls out the repub’s bullshit.
God Eric Cantor looks like such a dumbshit while Obama totally shreds him! Man these Repubs just dont give a rats ass about you if you’re not rich, and they lie to the poor to get the support they need to keep screwing them. Maybe when people see their lower taxes this year they’ll realize Obama is not completely full of BS, only partially.
On parts 1 and 2 of this series the majority of the comments were anti-Obama, pro-Repub.
Thank you for your insight. The health reform has been confusing me quite a bit and I really didn’t know how it was supposed to affect me. Greatly appreciated
Was the president just complaining about the use of props??? Are u kidding me???? LOL!
Sebelius wanted to force US to get vaccinations & she arrogant felt like she needed needed to show US how to cough and/or sneeze properly. I don’t want to hear anything she has to say.
