This is the time for this nation to step up to the plate for its citizens in regard to health care. When individuals with insurance cannot afford treatment for the big C and instead choose the option of getting their affairs in order, we need single-payer insurance by choice, as President Obama is presenting.
Unfortunately, the only representatives who are not behind this are the ones who are beholden to the health industry. Check out their history with health insurance lobbyists, both Republicans and Democrats.
Unfortunately our congressman, Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, is still “on the fence” about wanting health care for his constituents. That was just confirmed by a phone call to his office.
Please let him know it is time for this country to take care of its own.
This is obama’s doctors whole quote
"I look at his program and I CAN‘T SEE HOW IT‘S GOING TO WORK," Scheiner told the Huffington Post. "He has no cost control. There would be no EFFECTIVE COST CONTROL in his program“. QUOTE, QUOTE.
I did not refer to the whole article, but since you brought it up,
Obviously you did not read the article. The doctors saying obama’s plan as written will not work.
The doctor is for a socialist style heath care. According to the polls most Americans are not in favor of socialism.
Also according to the polls most people do not accept obama’s health care plan.
So why the rush, let’s get it right.
Since you have reverted to name calling I will leave you with another Quote.
The cowards way out is to start calling names and at which point you have lost the debate!
Have a good day this debate over.
If you haven't read the Doctor's comment in the website provided, you are doing yourself a disservice by speaking on something you clearly do not understand.
I agree with the doctor, Obama's plans are terrifying!
ConcernedNeighbor
I showed you a quote from obama’s former doctor and then asked some questions.
So, some way using your thought process I work for an insurance company giving dirty money to the democrats and care more about my job than our country.
“Amazing simply Amazing“.
Question, since you can process so much with very little information, could you please tell me a good stock to buy.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/30/obamas-doctor-opposes-health-care-plan-calls-single-payer/ here are some quotes ver batim from Dr
Obama's former doctor, David Scheiner, is among the growing number of opponents to the president's health care plan, he says because it doesn't go far enough in having government run the system.
Scheiner, who treated Obama for more than two decades in Chicago, is calling for a government-run program like Medicare, arguing that it would reduce costs by cutting out administrative costs.
"We know under single-payer, eventually people will pay less," Scheiner said Thursday during a news conference at the National Press Club.
so typical of the Rove Atwater koolaid with the artificial sweetener that causes brain damage..obviously you did not read the whole quote
Dr. David Scheiner, a 70-year old Chicago-based physician who treated Obama for more than 20 years, said he was disheartened by the health care legislation his former patient is championing, calling it PIECEMEAL and INEFFECTUAL.
Cliffmal, you can spin the doctors quote anyway you want but, the doctor still said obama’s plain is piecemeal, no cost control and ineffectual.
So why the RUSH? Why the August dead line? I have a great idea, why not read the bill
before voting on it? Why not let the American people see the bill? Why not find a way to pay for the $2,000,000,000,000 bill?
O wait, I know because the more the American people understand about the bill the less they like it. Please forget my questions I answered them myself.
Just wondering, does Medicare for all also mean for illegal aliens also?
Scheiner says “Have him get paid $1 million a year instead of $2 million or $3 million. He won't starve,” Spoken like a true Communist.
I agree todays news is more opinion than fact. One must go to multiple sources Fox, CNN, internet to form a more balanced opinion for themselves. Go to this link:
http://www.fair.org/blog/tag/david-scheiner/
And you will see what was left out of Doctor Scheiner's comments on health care reform.
"What should the president be focused on? Scheiner thinks that a good health reform would be "Medicare for all," a single-payer system where the government would cover everyone and pay for it by cutting out waste in the system. "A neurosurgeon gets paid $20,000 for cutting into the neck of my patient. Have him get paid $1 million a year instead of $2 million or $3 million. He won't starve," Scheiner says."
Here’s a quote from one of your favorite sources the huffington post.
Dr. David Scheiner, a 70-year old Chicago-based physician who treated Obama for more than 20 years, said he was disheartened by the health care legislation his former patient is championing, calling it PIECEMEAL and INEFFECTUAL.
"I look at his program and I can't see how it's going to work," Scheiner told the Huffington Post. "He has no cost control. There would be no EFFECTIVE COST CONTROL in his program.
Also I see that the Congressional Budget Office said it's going to be incredibly EXPENSIVE. .
Really, obama’s own physician saying the eleven hundred page and counting plan ( you know the plan that very few of our representatives have read] piecemeal, ineffectual and no cost control.
Sounds like a great plan to me.
If you like the DMV, you'll love socialist health care.
Really, Maybe you should inform acorn
May I suggest instead of reading Faux news or the huffington post you should try FOX news for some of your information.
At least if this Heath bill passes we won’t have to worry about those Canadians coming here for care.
One other thing, if we would stop paying for all the people who come here illegally and use our medical care that we the American people pay for, maybe we could all afford healthcare…!!!!
But when the Democratic make then all legal that would eliminate a huge Democratic voting block now wouldn’t it…!!!
When it comes to cost, this country cannot afford to continue to meet the needs of the ins and health industries pockets and ignore the health needs.
The worst part is Obama wants to pay for the most of $2000,000,000,000 plan by cutting Medicare for the elderly.
You know that dollar amount is so large I am not sure I even wrote it correctly.

or Republican issue.
It’s an American issue It is falsehood to cast the healthcare debate in terms of socialism vs. capitalism. Debate should be about (a) return for the money, (b) captive vs. free market, (c) illness vs. health as commodity, (d) choice, (e) affordability, etc.from

“Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, is still “on the fence”
If Jerry Mcnerney is still on the fence it’s because Nancy Pelosi told Jerry to set on it.
Jerry McNerney votes how ever the San Fran. Liberal, Nancy[ we are losing 500 million jobs a month] Pelosi tells him to.
