Quote of the Day

“I also strongly believe that one of the options in the exchange should be a public insurance option. And the reason is not because we want a government takeover of health care. I’ve already said, if you’ve got a private plan that works for you, that’s great. But we want some competition. If the private insurance companies have to compete with a public option, it will keep them honest and it will help keep their prices down.” —President Obama in today’s town hall meeting on healthcare

Huzzah!

Adding… The AMA backed down from their anti-public-option position. Huzzah, again!

    Have I told you lately that I love you, Mr. President?

    Please do not get over-excited here.I realize the issue. There is only one way to go here.But, as soon as we have the watered-down “public option”…… the war will start.The assholes that run the insurance companies will “drastically’ reduce their compensation…. yeah right…. they will increase their options so that they can join the Wall Street billionaires. They are not…. by the way…. qualified to wipe your ass as managers of anything.I have dealt with them… a lot. They do not care about anything but their own balance sheet. They watch Lush Rimjob. Thet totally suck as human beings. Really.

    My †ying sucks. I get pissed and the “hunt and peck” stuff gets way out of line. My apologies.

    The AMA backing down is deffinantly a touchdown, but the game still has 3 quarters left.

  • Hielo in Mexico

    It just gets worse…. “typing”. Right?

  • Hielo in Mexico

    I hope our fair men and women in the Congress know that Rahm is waiting in the bushes to punch them in the nuts if they waver on this…Great speech! He took his case right to the American people.

    This is a great topic for debate. Yeah, I know that we are preaching to the choir here.But really good comments will arm me with stuff to fuck with these old dickweeds in Mexico.

    Doesnt Mexico have nationalized healthcare? Why would “old dickweeds” in Mexico have an opinion on American healthcare?

  • Hielo in Mexico

    NanoIf our president could join in here.. he would say that the bill he must support falls far short of the real solution.Check out Bob’s comments.

  • Hielo in Mexico

    Oh Ashby!You have no idea how many of us have moved to Mexico.Has anybody heard from Minks?

  • Hielo in Mexico

    Another thing Ashby….The “club” or “private bar ” crowd will never jump in when I am blogging. (Well, fe has the courage).They think that if they stay off… that I will go away.Won’t happen.You are risking your credibility with the big fat asses on the bar stools.

    J M -Hielo’s hanging with retired Gringos in Mexico. Your retirement funds last longer down there. He has discussions with retired wrong wingers and needs ammo.Hielo -Don’t sweat the typos. We can read through/around them.

    Hielo, I really don’t give a crap about your “club” and “private bar” labels. I doubt anyone else does either.I garuntee no one avoids a topic simply because you may be commenting on it.You need to learn some tact.

    Thanks Git, that explains a lot.

    hielo -Don’t be paranoid or defensive. No one is trying to run you off. Being insulting will not win you friends.Believe me. If people wanted you to go away, they would say so. Probably like “Go the fuck away.”But please don’t. I’m enjoying your posts. You probably have many more stories about litigation with the insurance industry that we would like to hear.I’ve been busy recently and haven’t had time to post as much. It’s a temporaary thing.

  • fe

    hielo, doesn’t it occur to you that people don’t talk to you not because you’re not part of the club, but because you constantly insult them?

  • fe

    not to mention the fact that your premise that people won’t talk to you is incorrect.
