Lindsey Graham, continuing the Corporate Lobbyist Party's "Scorched Earth" counter- offensive to Health Care Reform, said on ABC's "THis Week", Sunday,: "If they do this,
it's going to poison the well for anything else they would like to achieve this year or thereafter."
http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/week-transcript-wh-senior-advisor-david-axelrod-sen/story?id=10085253&page=4 Hey, schmuck. You fucking Republicans have been fighting the Democrats on everything since Obama was sworn in as President. This is an ENTIRELY EMPTY THREAT. WHAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT? (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x520379">The Corporate Lobbyist Party has filibustered 80% of major legislation in Obama's first year in office - Time magazine). I GOT A BETTER IDEA. WHY DON'T YOU SLIME-BALLS GET THE FUCK OUT OF TOWN. DON'T TAKE UP SPACE IN THE CAPITOL IF ALL YOU ARE THERE FOR IS TO SABOTAGE THE GOVERNMENT AND DEBILITATE AMERICA (MAKING SURE THE DEMOCRATS GET THE BLAME -
THANK YOU MSM ).
YOU BASTARDS CAUSED THE GREATEST ECONOMIC DISASTER THIS COUNTRY HAS SEEN SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION("THe market will police itself."). NOW YOU WANT TO STOP LEGISLATION TO SAVE THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY IN AMERICA
BEFORE IT GOES INTO CRITICAL CONDITION.
ALL THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DO IS TO SEE THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE AT GETTING HEALTH INSURANCE LIKE YOU GOP GRIFTERS IN CONGRESS ENJOY
AND AT THE SAME TIME SAVE THE HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY FROM GOING OVER A CLIFF (...AND TAKING OUR ECONOMY WITH IT). HOW MANY BUSINESSES DO YOU THINK ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES AT THE CURRENT RATE OF INCREASE IN HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS? ALL THE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF HEALTH CARE HAVE SAID SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO REFORM THE SYSTEM... AND SOONER THAN LATER (WHAT'S LATER MEAN ...TWO, THREE MORE YEARS?)
.. at a 15% annual increase, in THREE YEARS premiums will be 50% HIGHER THAN THEY ARE TODAY!! HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE AT THAT PRICE??. AND WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE THEY GET THEIR HEALTH CARE AT HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS. AND WHO PAYS FOR THAT?? ... TAX-PAYERS AND POLICY HOLDERS (insurance premiums are about 8% higher now because of increased hospital and doctors billing rates to make up for the uncompensated care of the uninsured. In 2004 the Government spent $35 Billion to help hospitals and doctors out for uncompensated care. THat number will only grow as the number of uninsured grows each year. HOW SOON WILL IT BE TILL THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED EQUALS THE NUMBER OF INSURED? (THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL AN UNVIABLE SITUATION).
HEY, GO AHEAD AND KEEP UP YOUR TALIBAN TACTICS OF SABOTAGE OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND YOUR 'WAR OF ATTRITION' ON AMERICA's WELFARE - FOR POLITICAL GAIN. EVENTUALLY (ENOUGH) PEOPLE WILL WAKE UP TO YOUR STRATEGY OF POLITICAL GAIN AT AMERICA'S EXPENSE. AND WHEN THEY DO WE'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU FOR IT.
THOSE WHO UTTER THREATS OF DESTRUCTION WILL DIE BY THEM ONE-DAY (politically speaking, of course).
http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/week-transcript-wh-senior-advisor-david-axelrod-sen/story?id=10085253&page=4 GOP opposition to health care reform as framed by the Dems is inconsistent with their ostensible preferences for competitive market-place approaches to health care reform.Wellpoint to raise rates 23% on average in 11 states
