1. Oh.....you have a problem with affordable health care for ALL Americans....
Enjoy your short stay in Washington. We need to root out these buttheads and get them out of office PRONTO!

Our country doesn't need pimps like this representing the people in Washington. Get ready to join the unemployment rolls.

2. I like this,

This is so quiet and blurry as to be nearly unwatchable. But you should watch it (especially a minute or so in). The activist vlogger is really doing some interesting culture jamming on this sycophantic interview. The vlogger also tears this guy a new one, and the son of a bitch acts like mere internet media is so far beneath him.

WTF????

4. There has to be a much more ramped up effort against these Dinos

Especially in his home state.

He wants to keep costs down? The cheapest alternative is to cut out the insurance companies altogether! And that's not going to happen even with the proposed Democratic plan. He is only fighting for his big donors...that's it.

6. Is it just me- do ALL idiots pronounce "important" with a D?
to me that's a dead give-away as to how stupid someone is.

and no- it's NOT "impordant"!

7. Thank You For This
Thanks for trying. You gave your best effort. No 3rd party system will ever win without true reform to our election process that isn't even on the radar. Every four years we hear about all these problems. Fighters like Brad Freidman never surrender, but we only care then. So what is the solution? We have to RECLAIM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Sure, it seems we've a good foothold, and if we can get some improvements through, just any, to make it any better than it was 2 or 4 years before, we can keep the Democratic Majority at or above 60. That's not enough. We need to start seeing Al Frankens challenging not just the Republicans, but the Democrats. Not liberal enough, gone.

Replace the embarrasments like this creep in the video with more folks like Dennis Kucinich in the House, Bernie Sanders in the Senate. Elect real Democrats. It appears there may be a reason why Republicans are tanking. Think big picture. If they have enough 'blue dogs' who are 'winning it for the Dems' then we start losing real 'Dems'.

8. He's flat out lying about the CBO
The CBO's report did not take into account the result of the savings that will result from the new efficiencies that will result when the bill is passed.

And of course CNN will not notify its audience how much campaign cash Mike Ross and his cohorts get from hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies and insurance copmanies.
