Anyone else out there who was totally disgusted by ABC and Obama's?

healthcare "explanations" last night? I am appalled that ABC and the president has the nerve to present what they did. I had little respect before, but absolutely none right now! Healthcare plan? Who will it benefit anyway? Certainly not me, and I'm a senior citizen who is very worried that if this thing passes, we will be "out in the cold"! And conservatives were not "allowed" any rebuttal? What in the world is this nation coming to anyway?

Update:

Yes we have Medicare but it's on it's way out too. Also, we have a supplement that covers meds and the portion that Medicare doesn't cover. That is from a PRIVATE insurance company. Again, we're shot to hell with this healthcare plan!

Update 2:

AND REGARDING THE STANFORD ISSUED (THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTHCARE ISSUE!), FOX COVERED IT FROM THE MINUTE IT BROKE AND CONTINUED THROUGH THE EVENING, AND, ON FOX AND FRIENDS THIS MORNING, IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING DISCUSSED. PLEASE GET YOUR STORIES STRAIGHT....

Update 3:

green tadpole: We will "leave him alone" when he comes up with some viable plans and policies for ALL of us, not just the Dems in their own pockets.

Update 4:

st. etienne: yes we have Medicare, which covers very little, therefore, we have a SUPPLEMENT from a private insurance company that covers what Medicare doesn't (and it doesn't cover a lot) and it gives us drug coverage. Anything wrong with covering our butts so we don't go into bankruptcy with medical bills that aren't covered by medicare alone?

Update 5:

Debra: How much do those "seniors" in Florida contribute to your well being in Florida? Have you thought about that? Without them you would be up a creek without a paddle. And Medicare DOES NOT COVER EVERYTHING!!! Someday maybe you'll see that. Of course it's on it's way out, and you may have to "fend" for yourself!

    Are you talking about ABC A/K/A " All Barack Corporation " ?

    Yup.....I am very disgusted too !! It is appalling that Obama PANDERS to the young and those who are lazy + shiftless but wants to put senior citizens on an ice floe !!

    You are correct in that although I did not see Obama's " group hug " last night with ABC......it is clear that BHO is already calling for cutbacks & rollbacks in Medicare fees and medical care that Medicare will exclude

    The end result will be that Barry will provide substantially less medical care , especially for seniors or certain illnesses, just5 like in Canada where many more people die from heart diseases & cancer because they have to wait so long for treatment.

    Then I haven't even touched upon the issue that many good Doctors will refuse to accept Medicare or universal health care.

    Obama IS a disaster and is a lose, lose situation.

    BTW -- You are correct !!! The fact that Sanford committed a civl NOT CRIMINAL indiscretion reflects the fact that the public has sadly elevated politicians, like Obama, to American Idol celebrity status where " groupies" now seem to be a political perk.

    Don't worry.......people are starting to take their heads out of the sand and actually look at how badly Obama is destroying America.

    The bottom line is that Congress will NOT allow Obama to continue to ruin what it took America hundreds of years to build.

    Why can't we have the same healthcare members of Congress has? Oh, I get we're not good enough, we have to have the cattlefarm version of it. Pay a lot, get very little, get blown out of the hospital before you're well because your illness might become a liability under Obamacare. Break your leg or need your appendix out, no problem, just wait until that overworked doctor working a double shift can get to you say, tomorrow afternoon.

    It was a joke...and to the guy that said he was asked "hard" questions...I do not consider asskissing journalist as opposition.

You are the typical ignorant Liberal Obama supporter...more concerned about Fox news and Sanfords extramarital affair... and Fox did cover it you moron...next time try to get your talking points straight...F***THEWORLD??? I dont think so half wit...F***YOU...Hurry up and hit the report button because it is damn sure worth it.

    I live in Florida and all senior citizens care about is themselves and their precious Medicare and no, you're not going to lose your Medicare. They're all retired and have nothing better to do than spend the whole day going from doctor to doctor. Meanwhile, there are millions of uninsured children in this country going without essential health care, none of whom were mentioned in your question as people you care about. Obama is trying to help everyone. Don't ya just hate it when the questioner has to comment on every answer they get?

    When your argument is weak you must silence the opposition.

    They dont give a rat's a$$ about you or your health care. They are creating another huge bureaucracy to gain more power.

    The democrats get half their votes every election year by saying 3 words - racism and social security. Now they are going to add health care and the campaigns will be rapped up.

    It just too bad that our public schools are so bad that most Americans are too damn stupid to see.

    didn't watch it... . ABC is Obama's personal propaganda station. When even the Presidents doctor says the plan is horrendous, I think it would be smart for Obama to take the doctors orders... what a tool to Pelosi, Reid, and those who hate freedom....

    Attacks on the "liberal" media are hallmarks of fascism, just like unecessary military buildups and scape-goating minorities for a country's problems.

    Should they have been fair and offered a rebuttal just like Fox News? (lol!)

  • 1 decade ago

    Not I. I've been totally disgusted on other things lately, but no this. Just because the President says it doesn't mean it's immediately so. But our health care system does need some work, that is certain.

    Just shows you the utter arrogance of Obama and the Democrats. these people are living in some sort of la la land with there heads in the clouds dreaming of some skewed vision of a Utopian paradise that does not exsist. Just wait till the hard cold reality of life slaps them silly. There day is coming and their fall will be long hard and tortuously slow.

    This is want some people want free everything. The thing is they aren't the ones paying the taxes to provide all this free stuff. Is it 2012 yet ?
