1. This Lobbyist Guy Is A Prototypical Predatory Capitalist |
|
He has little or no real talents of his own, so he can only make money by stealing from other people. In this case, he steals your healthcare. He sells worthless plans for a lot of money and then lobbies congress to allow him to sell these worthless plans.
The woman in the video even says to him that she had to pay $60,000 for her breast cancer, a disease she got through no fault of her own, even though she was covered.
Our true enemy in America is not the Republicans nor Faux News nor Glen Beck. It's the predatory capitalist class with their talons stuck deep on our political throats. These predatory capitalists spend their entire lives figuring out ways to steal everything from us, our wages, our home values, our healthcare, our education system, etc., and then they pay off congress and the media to keep the theft going.

Is did this guy oppose the Congress of spending over a trillion dollars to kill innocent people in Iraq--an illegal an unprovoked war? Why would he object to the US spending a trillion dollars to keep people alive and well?
He's a FRAUD and WHORE for the Insurance Industry.

15. He Doesn't Care About The Govt Spending Money On Wars |
|
He only cares about his own gig, selling worthless insurance and ripping off businesses, consumers, and healthcare providers.
He has to steal because he's not talented enough to do anything else in his life.

26. Wow, that was like poetry... |
|
That was so spot on.
Predatory capitalists is exactly right. We always blame the politicians--but these predatory capitalists are at the top of the food chain. They are the at root of our country's problems.
The corporations want war--because they can sell more war toys and get more lucrative contracts. They want status quo in healthcare. They wanted the current bankruptcy bill. They wanted bailouts for the banks. They wanted unlimited freedom to screw people who owned and used credit cards. They want less regulation for FDA drug approval and they want to quell research that shows certain pharmaceuticals harm or kill.
People like this smarmy smooth talker--have bribed our Democrat and Republican politicians. They've probably blackmailed them, handed them bags of cash under the table and provided them with perks that we can only imagine.
Like in the movie "The Blob"--our politicians have been enveloped by these predatory capitalists--and "We The People" no longer own the government.
People like that slick lounge lizard own everything.
It was DISGUSTING watching that guy work it. "I appreciate your opinion". Dear God...the language of the psychopath as he saunters up to Capitol Hill to arm twist another one of our elected representatives who work for US.
Sickening.

3. Go to the emergency room?? So, let's see... |
|
A woman shows up at the ER with a complaint and on examination it's found that she has a lump in her breast, which turns out to be cancer.
Is the ER going to pay for surgery, chemo, etc,?
What an ass!! People that stupid shouldn't be allowed out alone!

8. Right wing talking point |

Yes you can go to the ER but they can refuse to treat you if you aren't critically ill. And if they do treat you, they will bill you.

Edited on Sat Jul-18-09 05:41 PM by GreenTea
congress and distort the facts to the American people...smokescreen & fear, the usual republicans tatics.
While helping the insurance corporations continue ripping-off the American people as well as our taxes, billions of our tax dollars already go to insurance companies as it is now... Insurance companies want more and want NO competition!
There's only seven major insurance companies. (All the hundreds of smaller insurance companies ones all get written by the seven big fuckers)
Just like the five or six oil major companies (there's hundreds of smaller stations made to seem like there's competition, but all the small one ALL have to buy from the five or six big oil corporations as those same five set the price among themselves......That's collusion"
In the insurance industry among the seven major corporations just like in the oil industry, where all the prices are the same (within a few pennies) Because there's no competition and they won't allow any and fight to the death to stop any.
They will destroy any new competition (including the government) who try and take a nickel of their profits.
As the insurance companies believes, we all belong to them, for them to pick and choose which they'll accept their high priced premiums from, (the ones for the most profits, fuck the others....like cattle)
And the republicans, insurance companies will lie, spend hundreds of millions of dollars fighting competition, use their tons of lobbyist anything so they can be the only providers of insurance for profit forever...While bribes and killing if necessary are not out of the question by these huge monster corporations, I'm sure of it!

19. five or six major oil companies |
|
And maybe five or six health insurance companies and five or six major banks. Is there a pattern here?
It's like a James Clavell novel, five (or six) "great houses, all competing for the prize, Tai-Pan" except in this case it's not a competition for control of a single city or market. This is world domination by default, Version 1.0. It's been financed with working Americans' insurance premiums and their unbridled consumption of imported "luxury" items (such as gasoline and the autos that burn it).
Looking for news of Chinese health insurance plans. Since working Americans are or will soon be reduced to roving bands of homeless (a sort of "agrarian" society), China and other south Asian nations with growing middle classes will be/are the ripest for picking. Investment opportunities?
FYI: Homeless people usually don't carry health insurance.
:sarcasm: and worse

Given his weight and the fact that he smokes, he will be shaking hands with our glorious health care system real soon, and something tells me he won't like it.

24. TYPICAL, STEREOTYPE of a scumbag, lobbyist... |
|
...who has been lapping the juices and meat off the plate of our citizens for waaaay too long.
It's these sorts of sleazy salesmen, lying, "I feel your pain" f*cktards that we need to turn off. Enough is enough. Go sell cars, windows, appliances, etc. I appreciate a good salesperson. But DON'T try selling me this poison you call "health care" so you can continue to siphon your cut out of the American aorta.
Scum of the earth. The morons will eat it....and we ARE a nation of morons!!
