washington journal call-ins are about health care this hour

[w8liftinglady]

discussing private versus national.good phone calls

[liberal N proud]

1. Considering that it has been leaked that bu$h is going to talk about

private Health Care accounts in the SOTU speech.
This could be a set up by the right wing to make the issue look like it is of national interest.

I work for a company who has implemented private accounts, the details are frightening

[w8liftinglady]

2. Not one positive call yet

try to spin this. :mad:

e/Canada

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

10. he called them 'free market incentives" (more to come with SOTU)

[Skidmore]

9. And he wants to connect patient databases.

What's wrong with getting a release of information and calling?

[rodeodance]

11. the databases do have some advantages--Yet if people do not have

health care to start with--what good is it.

[rodeodance]

12. We have limited $$---and I think taking care of people comes first!

[rodeodance]

13. talking of getting rid of 'frivilous lawsuits"

[rodeodance]

14. He is pushing the free market system as a solution to our crisis.

[rodeodance]

15. crap it--We had the free market system and it has FAILED!

[PA Democrat]

32. My RW BIL was bashing "socialized medicine" recently

until he was asked about his family's health insurance. His response was that they used the health insurance his wife got through her teaching job. We commented that his family's insurance was paid for with TAX DOLLARS and yet he has problems with anyone else receiving health care funded by tax revenues through a national health care plan. No hypocrisy THERE, huh?

[rodeodance]

16. someone just came on and cut the Cult. of Corruption.

[rodeodance]

18. he is again cutting any form of national health care.

Jrs new solutions.

[rodeodance]

personnel"--he is right--lots of time going into the new drug plan which no one can figure out. what a dupus!!--of course he did not mention that.

[rodeodance]

23. Says-the free market system is working-competion is working.

[rodeodance]

24. "rationed" is the talking point for RW--a fear tactic to oppose single-

payer system.

[rodeodance]

25. and emailer said that people cannot afford to purchase health accounts.

[rodeodance]

26. his response was that the employer would kick in for the HSA. what

about those who are NOT employed?

[rodeodance]

29. He sure is pushing HSAs!

[rodeodance]

30. I think Ted Kennedy et all have their work cut out this year!

[Skidmore]

33. Its the only thing he hasn't screwed up entirely yet.

He can't talk about Jack tonite.

[Skidmore]
