WASHINGTON (AP) – A key House liberal suggested Thursday that party moderates who’ve pushed for changes in health care legislation are “brain dead” and out for insurance company campaign donations.
Moderate Blue Dog Democrats “just want to cause trouble,” said Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., who heads the health subcommittee on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.
Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted gross income, the number of dependents, and “other information as is prescribed by” regulation. That information will be provided to the new Health Choices Commissioner and state health programs and used to determine who qualifies for “affordability credits.”
The real US unemployment rate is 16 percent if persons who have dropped out of the labor pool and those working less than they would like are counted, a Federal Reserve official said Wednesday.
Colorado Democratic Congresswoman Betsy Markey is a first termer in a GOP-leaning district. Last night Markey told an audience that Medicare recipients would have to give up some of their benefits under ObamaKare, and lectured the rest of us that we need to get used to losing medical benefits if ObamaKare passes:
“There’s going to be some people who are going to have to give up some things, honestly, for all of this to work,” Markey said at a Congress on Your Corner event at CSU. “But we have to do this because we’re Americans.”
One million NHS patients have been the victims of appalling care in hospitals across Britain, according to a major report released today.
In the last six years, the Patients Association claims hundreds of thousands have suffered from poor standards of nursing, often with ‘neglectful, demeaning, painful and sometimes downright cruel’ treatment.
The charity has disclosed a horrifying catalogue of elderly people left in pain, in soiled bed clothes, denied adequate food and drink, and suffering from repeatedly cancelled operations, missed diagnoses and dismissive staff.
They are facists just as some GOPers are facists. The truth is that Americans don’t want this so called reform. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired and as I’ve said countless times, our President has shown us that corruption knows no bounds.
Our birthright as Americans has been taken away little by little over time, but now it is obvious and they truly don’t give a damn.
OMG you are so full of shit and it’s morons like you and your readers who will get the shaft if the insurance companies continue as they are. Are you all stupid with your ‘socialism’ crap?
‘Our birthright had been taken away’ (Rigmaiden). Oh, stfu you racist idiot.
Anonymous is a racist socialist bigot and coward hiding behind anonymity – a shallow thinker who’s been polarized by the Alinsky method and forced to focus on “insurance companies” or whatever cheesy fictional “Enemy of the State” is brought forward – their brain is frozen shut.
It is Socialism and it’s really not “reform” – that’s a Progressivist code-word for obliteration. If “reform” were the real mandate they would FIX things that are broken, like Medicare, and create efficiencies instead of the inefficient. But Government just doesn’t work that way, it consumes more than it produces at a level unheard of in industry – $200-million goes into the maw of CALIFORNIA Gubb’mint Health, and out comes $20-million in the form of Patient Care. It eats and destroys %80 – a level of consumption that no private Charity is allowed, the officers of such an enterprise would be shut-down and indicted on fraud.
But Gubb’mint gets away with it all the time – and Washington DC is full of tax-cheats and liars like Charlie Rangel and Chris Dodd who are rewarded by the thug-Chicago Administration.
This is a complete ripping-up of the train-tracks and heading off in a new direction, one smothered in the bureaucracy of an interfering and ineffective Government.
Anonymouse, what you leftards either don’t understand or pretend not to hear is that conservatives are NOT generally against health reform. We ARE however against most of THIS reform plan you dems are pushing. The system IS damaged and it IS too expensive, but NObama’s plan makes it worse, NOT better.
There is a serious lack of primary care doctors and nurses. NOTHING in your bill addresses that.
Free health care to illegals is bankrupting the system and this plan DOES cover illegals and increases their drag on the system even more.
There is NO F***ING WAY you can cut $500 BILLION from Medicare and not cut services to the elderly, but NObama says it can be done. DO NOT count on that money to help pay for the total cost. It WILL NOT be there!
I could go on and on but as I don’t usually even answer anyone to chickenshit to use a name, even a fake name, you got more of my time than you deserved.
Ok dirtbagger, go get your tin foil hat and count your teeth, lol!
You guys are frieking retards.
Anonymoose: well, I think that about wraps things up. If you wish to contribute in some small way to the dissension here, please do so. But when your dissession solely consists of s-words and labels and no contributory evidence to support any of the claims you make, well, I think your days here are done.
I welcome dissension, when it can be summarized as cogent, contributory, buttressed with facts, evidence, citations and sources.
“You guys are all retards, racists and stupid” is simply wearing thin and bringing nothing to the table. You ever visit Mahndisa or check out her picture? Just thought you might like to know she’s not Lilly White. And she’s a racist because she disagrees with your world?

Oh Ok BZ, should I use cogent monikers like nazi, socialists and Communists your the dumbfuks here?
They contribute hate lies and fear.
Anonymous: goodbye. Please enjoy your last comments. They were brief, sir. Please inhabit another site or — better yet — create YOUR OWN and then provide me with that link so that I might weigh in as well, along with my readers.
But, of course, you won’t do that because that would be too public and place your theses on trial, exposed to the light as they would be.
You are too much the coward, I posit. Provide your blog. Provide your links. Provide your opinions immured.
BZ
I did that once-a reader on the ‘compassionate right’ called my house and I received death threats. Seems the lunatic fringe moronic righty doesn’t like a dissenting voice.
BZ:
Ah thanks for the response to the anonymous’s comments. They are a clear reason why the liberal lunacy must be stopped. A Black American woman getting called racist for disagreeing with the policies of a Black President? Now that is interesting! In what world does that make me racist? Dumbass.
You make the assinine comment “Our birthright as Americans has been taken away little by little over time,” and you call me a ‘lunatic?’ Lol!
Teabag much?
Our birthright as Americans is spelled out in the Constitution. If you don’t believe in the Bill of Rights and that they should apply to American citizens, then you are the real asshole. Asshole.
Typical Liberal, emotional, offensive, and demeaning – and without content or substance.
There is a word for those people who seek to use the dead to go after the living: Ghouls.
That is where the modern Left is these days, morphing into Ghouls.
