I made this prediction ion HuffPo.

For the next two years the GOP will try to push rather drastic agendas they know have little or no chance of getting through, so they can use it as a political tool to blame the Senate and the WH.

Steve King is the malignant tumor on American humanity and decency.

Steve King and Fixed News just wont stop will they????…what an embarrassment to everybody in Iowa….you wonder why people get shot???……steve king is your answer….hey steve show the public how much you hate government health care and drop yours buddy….what a tool…..hmm im wondering republicans Is “Lock, Stock & Barrel” a gun term????…yall cant help yaselves can ya?????

Extremist of a politician. Chill a little dude!

As someone who has lost loved ones to Cancer, I’m appalled he would use the word tumor.

Just kidding, I just wanted to pretend to be an always-ready-to-be-offended liberal for a while.

Um, isn’t that what the Dems have been doing? Polls show the American people wanted nothing they were shoving down our throats, but that didn’t stop them.

obozocare isn’t about healthcare. It’s about lunatic-left d-crat socialist BIG GOVERNMENT CONTROL of one-sixth of the US economy, lunatic-left d-crat socialist WEALTH AND INCOME RE-DISTRIBUTION, lunatic-left d-crat socialist EXPANSION OF ABORTIONS WITH TAXPAYER MONEY and lunatic-left d-crat socialist NANNY STATE DICTATES to the American people.

Repeal this Piece-of-S atrocity.

ZOMG!!! YOU CAN”T SAY THAT ANYMORE!!!!!

Someone should delete ProObamaAgenda’s post before some crazy person gets the wrong idea. Like maybe ProObamaAgenda. I’m seeing lots of hate and very little connection with reality. He could snap at any time.

U look at the lowest common denominator of the other side and aspire to be just like them. Can’t u come mainstream once in a while? I’m saying this because I usually like to read your comments.

Sorry to disappoint you, Nice thought? You can’t please all the people all the time. I’m just trying to make a point by showing some on the left how ridiculous they are.

Kind of like the libs did?

There is much to lathe in the bill as it is, but there are parts that I support.
1. No exclusion for pre-existing conditions
2. No caps
3. Coverage of preventive screenings/care
4. Keep kids on until they are 26

But there is too much bureaucracy and it still doesn’t allow insurance companies to offer insurance across state lines to increase competition.

S2012FMW, point taken!

Put down that onion you’re munching on, Michelle-in-Utah and read: START, DADT, Unemployment Benefit Extension all had strong support. And, HCR now appears to enjoy rather solid support.

“Intellectual Dishonesty XVIIIX” bought to you by Michelle-in-Utah.

Again Royal Pain in the Butt, I was trying to prove a point, that obviously went right over your head. My husband died of cancer so I would never make light of it however, I’m not always looking to be offended like some of you libs are. That’s my point. I understand if it’s a little to nuanced for you to understand.

How in earth letting insurance companies cross state lines increase competition? Do they get more people overall? No. Do they magically lower the rate because in some states have cheaper coverage? I dont think insurance giants are a charity organizations.

Thanks for proving you are just another ignorant lib.

I wasn’t sure at first, but YOU now convinced me.

You read it here first: Competition does not lead to lower costs. Damn, I bet ATT and what once was Standard Oil are really pissed! As are the airlines!

Add, sell insurance across state lines and tort reform.

None of these parts costs the taxpayers a dime. That is REAL reform. Democrats have never wanted reform they want control.

I did in the original and you are right about tort reform. The Dims just love those lawyers too much.

What a Kart ‘o Krap. Texas has the most draconian tort reform laws in the US, and our health insurance rates are among the highest and rising faster than most in the nation, and we have the highest number of uninsured children in America. Tort reform is a sham for health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies and nothing more!

… although I do support selling insurance across state lines. I doubt it will make much difference in premiums, but it hasn’t been tried. It can’t be said it is a demonstrable flop like so-called “tort reform”.

Oh, snap and even to you in Texas!

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, 40% of medical malpractice suits filed in the U.S. are “without merit.” These predatory suits amount to legalized extortion and require doctors to purchase malpractice insurance at great expense. A Department of Health and Human Services study found that unlimited excessive damages add between $70 billion and $126 billion annually to health-care costs.

Doctors are so worried about frivolous lawsuits that they order unnecessary — and expensive — tests and procedures. The Massachusetts Medical Society found that 83% of its doctors practice this sort of defensive medicine. The costs of litigation and defensive medicine are passed on to the patient in the price of health care.

That’s why some states, including my home state of Texas, have enacted lawsuit-abuse reform to limit the amount of excessive damages that can be awarded. The result? More than 14,000 doctors have returned to Texas or set up new practices in the state. That means Texans pay less to have better health care and more options.

Based in part on the state-level success of tort reform, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that lawsuit-abuse reform would save federal taxpayers $54 billion over the next decade.”

…or 2.4 percent of total health care spending.

notsofast said:

It simply isn’t true. Draconian tort reform was enacted under W (as governor), so we’ve had it over 10 years, and our health care costs are higher than ever. Our health insurance premiums are higher than ever.

This lie is straight from an advocacy group for doctors in Texas, and I can even tell you who said it.

From the conservative Fort Worth Star Telegram, last October:

With a ratio of 158 doctors per 100,000 residents, Texas ranks 42nd among the 50 states and District of Columbia, according to the Texas Medical Association. The shortage is expected to worsen as the state’s population grows and the healthcare overhaul is enacted.

“We are at a shortage of physicians of all types in Texas, both primary care and specialty care,” [Dr. Gary Floyd, JPS Health Network chief medical officer] said. “We would love to see this addressed in our new healthcare reform. How do we train more physicians?”

Notsofast, thanks for letting me know my political affiliation. I feel so sick now. Tell me notso what should I do now?

A very good piece on malpractice premiums going down as a result of Texas’ draconian tort reform law, but cost to patients NOT declining:

That is an outright lie. Do you have to keep proving that you are a idiot?

LOL, advocacy group for LIBERAL doctors. You have no idea what you are talking about.

One thing about libs, even after they have lost the arguement they just keep on lying.

Obamacare is a load of utopian liberal crap. He essentially got out the nation’s credit cards and charged health care for the poor. Who says everybody is entitled to the same care? If a guy has more money than me and can afford better health care, so be it. Not to mention the unconstitutional mandate. The government should do like the Brits after WW-II. Put cheap government clinics in poor areas for the poor, at government cost. Those who can pay will chip in. But this “everybody gets the same care” plan is a load of Democratic horseshit.

This cracker is racist.

It needs to be mentioned that the UK version of Obamacare has caused such devastation to both the health of the British and to their economy, that they are continually fighting to find ways to reduce it if no eliminate it altogether.

Congress is just beginning to fight. Maybe Conservatives can prevent America’s fall into the pit of this Progressive hell.

I would never lower myself far enough to post anything on huffpo, but if I did, I would predict that 0bama will move to the right until the elections of 2012, and if reelected, he will move even further to the left than he has been during his first two years. If the US is really lucky, Americans will not be lulled into complacency, the repubicans will nominate a genuine conservative to run on their ticket, and 0bama will be a footnote in US history filed under failed presidencies.

Unfortunately, my faith in Americans does not lend itself to optimism; I predict the American voters will be stupid enough to reelect 0bama.
