Luke_Wilbur Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think this an issue that cannot be resolved. No doctor is going torefuse to treat someone in ill health. That would be going against theHippocratic Oath to ethically practice medicine. I am sure all the people that screamed 'death panel' would agree.

JT Allen Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Tell that to Dr. Michael Franchetti, an orthopedic surgeon in Laurel, Maryland, who refused to see me with a crushed tibial plateau from a motorcycle accident. Sure, he sees some Washington Redskins from time to time, but I was not deemed worthy of care as I was uninsured. Never mind I had inherited 10 thousand dollars at the time - No insurance, No treatment!!! While you rub your eyes trying to figure out if you read that correctly I'll repeat: No insurance, NO TREATMENT, DOES NOT ACCEPT CASH. Have a nice day. I think this an issue that cannot be resolved.

Guest Danimal Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., told ABC on Wednesday (and I quote): "Obviously, the President of the United States is always welcome on Capitol Hill." Really. Gee whiz, thank you doucheba ... err, Senator Cantor: The President of the United States is welcome on Capitol Hill? Thanks again Eric; if it weren't for your punishingly painful grasp of the completely obvious, why, the President may have nowhere to go at all and may have to be put up for adoption ... which leads me to ponder ... are all Republicans morons, or just the ones in power? I'm looking at you, Baby Joe Wilson. What a Effing disgrace. Go back to South Carolina; you're an embarrassment at Best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Allen Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I would like to hear from people who do not have health insurance at all (preexisting condition perhaps?)who are against this idea. Whatcha got? This entire debate/debacle is being politicized, but I have not forgotten my white, conservative, Southern friends who may not have enough money or might have a preexisting condition which would prohibit them from acquiring health insurance at any price. Where are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scapula Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hmmm. It is interest that this Joe Wilson fella's top campaign contributions are from the health care industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levana Layendecker Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 On Saturday, the opposition is coming to DC. Glenn Beck and so-called teabaggers - the opposition that's been yelling at town halls across the country - are marching on Washington, DC on Saturday, September 12th. They may be loud, but they do not represent America. They're coming to our hometown, and we need to be there to make sure everyone knows this is not the America we believe in. So come out on Saturday for a Vigil for the Common Good, a solemn protest against the shouting and violence that they're injecting into our country's discourse. Where: West front of the U.S. Capitol Lawn When: Saturday, September 12th, 12:45 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robert Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 "You lie!" Republican Joe Wilson of South Carolina, shouted from his seat, jabbing a finger in the air. It was "totally disrespectful," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said on CNN of Wilson, a conservative who has opposed Obama's economic remedies. "There is no place for it in that setting, or any other, and he should apologize for it immediately." In a statement later, Wilson said he regretted the incident, saying he let his emotions get the better of him. He extended "sincere apologies" to the president for what he called "this lack of civility." Last night Joe Wilson etched his political legacy into the wall of American history. He will forever be the poster child that symbolizes the new Republican Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jon Vogel Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Republicans disrespecting President Obama and refusing to engage in meaningful debate is nothing new. They've been doing it all summer long. But disrespecting the President before the eyes of the nation and just at the moment when President Obama was offering his solution to the greatest challenge of our time is truly an outrage.

Guest Williard Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 President Obama's speech was not a Town Hall meeting. President Obama's speech was to Congress. The reason our country is failing is because of hillbilly style outbursts such as the kind Joe Wilson displayed. There's a time and a place for everything. That was neither. That was the epitome of the dumbing down of this country. The folks that endorse that kind of behavior are the reason this country is failing and the reason nothing constructive is done in Congress. It's about working together and not behaving like a village idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
