Key group now backs Obama's Medicare quality plan

I am Leary as well... Perhaps just another Fraud???

*edit* Boo F***ing Hooo, every time I say Fraud, some clown living in a basement seems to think I am speaking of he or she??? Easy there Fella, you are Not all That!!!

I feel the same bluestranger...

That, I can Agree with... =)

Good evening KB!

A Good Evening Indeed, and hoping yours is the same Orcas_Island... =)

I too wonder who made deals in the back rooms of the WH...

What I meant actually KB is if that particular group made demands as to taking away some of the fluff from the private insurance companies -- just because of the quality of those clinics involved. That group really are outcome centered.

I will listen and respect what you have to say wynnmeg61, I am sure in your line of work you have much more experience to contribute than I do... =)

Don't get me wrong KB there is every reason to be suspicious these days, and if it was another group I would be suspicious myself.

We just have to wait and see wynnmeg61... I am hoping for the Best... =)

I hope for the best -- but expect the worst.

Here's to Hoping... =)

Sadly so, but I have been wondering here lately, just what Party BO represents???

It sure isn't the republicans KB. Obama has a good job's bill that he is taking to the people. If he can get infrastructure through congress, it will put the middle class back to work. We have many roads, bridges that need repaired, replaced. The construction companies will have to buy materials from companies that will put people to work, to keep up with the supply. The republicans voted down the bill, now being broken into pieces.So far they have voted down two parts of the bill. Bernie thinks the infrastructure part of the bill may be up for vote next week. I have little hope the republicans will vote for it. Obama is fighting for the middle class. The republicans are against anything that would help him.

It's called the "I Need to Get Re-elected to Keep These Right Wing Fruitcake Fanatics Out of Office" party. It has a lot of members, especially most of us who have lived through the Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II administrations. Some of us older Progressives remember what true hell is like.

Fair Enough, someday so will I... =)

I remember a time when our elected officials would seek Diplomacy, not a No answer... Of course there is much infrastructure work to be done, and I ask... Are Craftsmen and Women willing to work for less??? The GOP looks to do away with a billion dollars of the Davis-Bacon Act... Meaning folks that do this work will have to work for less than the going wage for Craftsmen and Women.......

Obama tried Diplomacy for two years, making some upset with him. I think he finally decided it wouldn't work with republicans. I think that day is over,especially with this president.
As slow as the republicans are at getting bills out they hopefully are voted out before they can cut the Davis-Bacon Act. If not the president has a veto pen.They have pushed him to the point he will use it.

I sure Hope so SFirman for His and Our benefit... I have been losing hope, but if he Kixz some Ass I will indeed vote for his second term... =)

I hope, for your sake, you never have to live through as many crappy Republican administrations as I have and that you can tell your granchildren how you lived throught the most progressive era in American history. At least I'm hoping our legacy to your generation will be a more forward looking country. The next year will tell.

So do I joeredford, I was in elementary when Reagan was president.... I am hoping we are still the United States of America when I make that moment in time...

Don't know how progressive it is but it continues to amaze me that the public has such a short attention span and will always blame democrats for just about everything and vote in republicans to make their lots even worse.

Wish I had an answer , but that certainly seems to be what happens. I don't understand it and never will.

I feel the same chew_chew... =)

That we Shall.... =)

I agree Leen, I would also like to see every one at what ever age be able to participate... =)

That would be a good thing, KB. Something that would start resembling universal health care would be even nicer.

Sadly I think they are only willing to give us Peanuts... But I can live on Peanuts, some folks however are allergic to them... Off to enjoy Happy Hour and make a Sale...

Cheers Leen.... =)

That would be great Leen, but congress voted down the Public Option. I was really disappointed.

Cheers KB :))

So was I, SFirman.

Hey Hey, Cool Leen Cheers Indeed... I landed a restaurant today, doing all their glassware and signage... They have 5 stores and are building 3 more... I am High as a Kite... I mean Happy, but I am having a cold one, that counts correct??? =)

Alright KB! Yes, that counts! :) I'm having a cold one as soon as Bill Maher comes on!

Cool, Leen I may sit down and watch that show as well... =)

Good! :)

I Envy you Scott_Pert, you are quite Fortunate, maybe someday we will share the same less worried life that you do...

Thank you for your input.
We need Far more people from countries that do have Universal Healthcare to post their opinions to fight against the Lies that the TeaPublicans and FOX news spout about people having to wait months to see a doctor and having to wait for approval before getting emergency care. There are Way too many people in this country that believed their LIES and that is why the original form of Obama’s Healthcare proposal was defeated.
Always like hearing from others around the world about their experiences.

That is Awesome!!!

I could not be more Envious.... Good Luck in Sweden and Keep in Touch.... =)

You folks don't have the greed we have here inthe states

You are lucky. We have a crappy congress that has great health care.

Exactly, Scott-Pert! Living in Canada, we don't have to even think of not seeing a doctor or going to ER for needed treatment. Even with all the System's problems, it's wonderful.

Maybe someday we can be so lucky. What Obama got has some good points like pre-existing conditions but who knows if he's re-elected and has a good congress he may try again. I can at least hope.

I hope so too. Here, we take it for granted; the "newest" additions to our "Plan" in Canada is that new dads (birth dads and adoptive dads) also get a full year of parental leave, with their employment intact, as do moms.
And in "my" Province (BC) they've just instituted a "stop smoking" plan whereby the Medical Plan pays for 3 months treatment (nicotine gum, patches, or prescription) to enable smokers to quit; this is conjunction to an online or telephone type of quit smoking group. it's going to save us all billions of dollars in the long term. (I don't know if they have this in the other provinces, each one has varied rules and regs).

And that type of info from someone who is actually a citizen was missing in the last Healthcare debates. All anyone ever heard was horror story LIES from the TeaPublicans about people waiting Months to see a doctor for Serious illnesses such as Cancer and LIES about the quality of care being Horrible. All I ever heard was; "They all come to the US to see a doctor because it takes Months to get an appointment there and the doctors here are way better." and "The US has the best Healthcare system in the world and if we change it all the doctors will leave to practice in another country." Yes, those of us who advocate change know their LIES but there are Way too many not so intelligent people here who believe the propaganda and with the cuts in education it is only getting worse.

LOL!!! You Lucked out... They had to open my skull to take Blood Clots off my Brain... I knew I was in trouble after the Crash as Blood was flowing from my ear... I think doctors stand by what they are sworn into... =) Not the same as our elected officials... =(

I like to know what type of Person my doctors are, not just how they perform. Just a curiosity on my part.

Great news and recognition of the best health care plan out there. I wonder how Faux and "friends" will handle the news or whether they will even bother to mention it? I assume they would not attack the group directly, but I guess they are desperate enough to keep their hands on power that they might! ;-)

I wonder if any of the talking heads will mention this DanCastro???

I had one many years ago when I crashed my Mtn. Bike and ended up in a Coma for ten days... I never did ask him about his feelings on health care... Congrats on your survival, in fact please feel free to join my new group, we would love to hear more from you... =)
