It's not faring well because it's not wanted, not needed, and was formulated by people who know little about anything other than how to get elected. Why would anyone think that Obama or Congress would be qualified or knowledgeable enough to formulate a viable health care bill? It was laughable up front. The only way they could possibly come up with workable solutions would be to involve physicians and other health care workers in the genesis of those fixes. Would you trust Obama or Congress to formulate plans for how to engineer bridges or skyscrapers? Same concept.

I really resent that my tax money goes to support these flaming liberals.

NATIONAL PUBLIC radio. What a joke.

Pull the plug on them.

I listened to NPR several times recently. I couldn't stand listening to them especially with the condescension and dripping of elitism. How did I listen to them, I accidentally landed on the station when tuning when I was traveling.

NPR=National People's Radio

“It wasn’t that Democrats had turned health reform into a boondoggle - it was just a natural result of highly complex issues the little people need not worry about.”

Now we are little poeple that don’t need to worry about the details. Sounds a bit like communism to me. “Trust me comrade, everything is taken care of. Go back to your American Idol and Ballon Boy stories. We have everything under control”

Perhaps Big O should listen to these song lyrics of 'Man in the Mirror' by Michael Jackson.

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change"

i would love to cut their funding....

I believe it's time for the "tea-baggers" and the astroturf to turn their attention to NPR.

NPR is government funded but it's mostly a shill for liberalism.

We either get fairness in that "government agency" or de-fund it altogether.

And I'm not calling for instituting the "fairness doctrine". If the contributions from government to NPR come for all tax paying citizens, then we can insist on fairness out of that one "agency".

That was eminently fair! If I’d spoken only the unvarnished truth, I’d get banned for using foul language.

This can be no worse than Obamalamadingdong himself saying that the anger that got him elected was the same anger that got Brown elected. Sheesh, what a bonehead thing to say and have anyone except the leftists and progressives in this country believe him.
Keep an eye on the czars. They have been way too quiet for way to long. Something un-American and anti-Constitutional is brewing.

Also, how did we go from worrying about the “30 million” uninusred to the 300 million insured and uninsured? Discount the ones in the 30 million that are illegal immigrants, don’t want health insurance, are covered but are not counted and then the 10 15 million can all have excellent health insurance at a fraction of what Obamacare costs. It’s not about health, it’s about control and growing government. Remember, any bureacracy created to serve a need, will son become a need to be served.

Very excellant link Paperdoll. Everyone needs to see this video. The Progressives are making thier move to control our lives under the cover of “Healthcare for All.” They will pick the winners and it isn’t you, the white, hard-working, middle class, non-union, capitalist, christian, American.

“PERHAPS THE FOLLOWING LINK WILL EXPLAIN WHY OBAMACARE IS NOT FARING WELL:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcBaSP31Be8";

It’s fun to play the same games as the Dems, especially when it comes to health care, but the information on the link is TOTALLY BOGUS, at least with the second item mentioned, what they call health care rationing (at the 20 second mark). The video says that you can only receive $5,000 per person or $10,000 per year in health care. I found those numbers to be suspect, to say the least (since a broken toe often costs more), so I looked at HB3200, on which the video is based and did find those numbers - they were referring to the maximum DEDUCTIBLE and the maximum CO-PAY (combined, along with other things) that can be required (they call it “cost sharing” and essentially define cost sharing in the bill as I stated). The narrator is FLAT-OUT LYING.

But still, since nearly 1,000,000 people have viewed it, it’s not all bad - if it drives the debate in the right direction (i.e., to kill the bill). And it’s GREAT to be playing ball the same way that Micheal Moore does it - using bogus information, as we have to play on their level, or we lose.

YES, I HOPE EVERYONE WHO DOWNLOADS IT WILL PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE THEY KNOW. THERE ARE SO FEW SOURCES AVAILABLE ABOUT WHAT THIS EVIL BILL WILL DO TO OUR LIVES WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTHCARE.

OBAMA AND THE COMMUNIST CONGRESS WILL WIN WITH DOUBTERS SUCH AS YOURSELF. I WONDER WHY YOU ARE SO QUICK TO DEFEND THE BILL BY ATTACKING THE VIDEO.

NPR is a PROPAGANDA OUTLET for the socialist NEW WORLD ORDER for which Obama is their poster boy.

It is staffed with taxpayer funded hard-core leftists who probably couldn’t hold down a job in the private sector.

Ignorant can be cured. Stupid is forever. Some of these leftists MAY be ignorant. Some MAY be stupid.

Having said that, they are mostly meretricious and mendacious Marxist myrmidons preaching political correctness, diversity and multiculturism bent on the destruction of American sovereignty.

Most of them are NOT ignorant. They know PRECISELY what they are doing.

I want them OUT OF BUSINESS. Without TAXPAYER FUNDING, they soon would be.

Defund them. It's an outrage that our people on radio have to get advertisers and their side gets a free ride. I am sick of the double standard. And I'm sick of paying for it.

You caps are annoying, but you’ve apologized.

No, I keyed in on the FIRST thing that seemed to not make any sense...the idea that individuals are limited to $5,000 worth of medical care. IT IS FALSE. As to the rest, there are a lot of statements that are accurate, and there are others that are false, and there are some that false because they are stated with the intention to deceive (such as the narrator stating that the bill states how much doctors can “make”, whereas the bill actually states how much doctors can “charge” - huge difference, since many doctors that I know made most of their money outside of their profession).

You’re welcome to defend the first statement that I pointed out (regarding the $5,000), and tell me why I’m wrong, and if you don’t, I take it that you agree that it is a lie - and if so, then it is a Michael Moore tactic...which I’m still happy that we’re doing, since we’ll lose if we don’t ply on their field.

As to my motives, you are also welcome to look up my 4,000 or so other posts to help you with that call.
