TheMadCap Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Now he's just lying through his teeth. Little girls were denied heart transplants not because hearts are scarce & there aren't enough to go around but because their insurance companies block them. I rarely use this terminology, but that has me offended. I am a transplant recipient and to insinuate that the reason people can't get transplants is because of being denied insurance? HORSESHIT! The number one problem in transplantation is availability. To make this issue about politics instead of facts is disgusting... .

DC Tom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) I didn't catch Romney's speech so I can't speak to that, but his "policy" talk is illusory. Take for example his medicare & SS policy: Instead of voucher system he's going to reduce health care costs and take the responsible steps to ensure the survival of Medicare. That's not policy; that's just a more eloquent rendition of John Kerry's plan to have a plan. That's the beauty of it. If you disagree with "take reasonable steps to ensure the survival of Medicare," then you just hate Medicare. It's designed to foster complete and mindless agreement.

GG Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That's quite the shouting. Was the transplant of a new voice box? I kid, I kid. Never mind the obvious - you can strive to cover more people, you can strive to eliminate the caps on the health benefits. But you can't do both under realistic economic scenarios. I wonder if that's why Obama omitted the factoid that under ACA, benefit caps and procedure limits will likely be more stringent than under private coverage?

Nanker Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 LOVED the shouting. It's good to get pissed off once in a while. I think much of the nation is getting good and pissed off at this clown show that's running the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Writing that statement has got to be the easiest job on the planet. All you have to do is dust of last month's. Barry's speech writer had an easy job as well, seeing as he/she dusted-off Carter's re-election speech from 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Irony goes well beyond just that. But honestly, Obama isn't even in Carter's league.

Nanker Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 You know when Andrea Mitchell begins to worry, there is cause for concern. Maybe she could rustle up some support for BO if she wore a cowgirl suit, tucked her thumbs in her armpits, started flapping her arms like chicken wings and high-steppin around singing a rousing rendition of "The Camptown Ladies". She's such a shill and a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bedtime stories were told and the dream was a nice one, but the wakeup revealed the harsh reality of a dismal jobs report. The approval ratings will do nothing but go down now.
