Rally Thursday To Support Healthcare Reform - NewsChannel 5.com...

The Rally for American Healthcare Reform will be held at 4 p.m. in Centennial Park Thursday.

[Thinker]

I can't support any action that supports abbortion.
If this passes and I refuse to pay taxes I will be sent to jail yet if I do pay my taxes that money will fund baby killing.

[yep]

they are trying to make too many big changes IMO. they need to start small and ease into the process. Also I hope illegals never get med coverage until every legal person has it.

[JayM]

Thinker, the funding of abortion is a HUGE concern for me as well on this new plan being proposed. I am not sure what type of barbaric reasoning is being used today that allows this obscenity to continue to exist, much less put put in a health "care" bill. There's not much health "care" involved for anyone during an abortion. This administration has never tried to back away from its open support of abortion rights. Well, here's one way they are trying to push their agenda. No wonder they were trying to rush this through.

I received something in an e-mail that shows what oBama has put into writting how he wants this health reform and illegal woud get it and not have to pay for the taxes on it nort that they are now. the government would decide your treatment and another item is if a hospital or doctor admits anyone they have a time limit after you have been released before they can readmit or the will be penalized. we do not need this reform. this guy has done enough damage in the short amount of time he has been in office.

So, you should have stop paying taxes years ago. Because bush has been killing babies for years in this useless war.

I agree, I don't support oBama as it is. He is so far out there and if it was possible to put the letter showing soe of the outlines in the reform I would hope more people would voice there opinions against it

[Eykis]

Hopefully this will make the representatives understand that we need health care reform with a public option for everyone.

[OkieDarren]

oh brother a democrat--"GIVE ME ANY PROGRAM THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS IN THAT HAS DONE WELL IN
SOCIAL SECURTITY GOING BROKE
MEDICARE GOING BROKE"

Medicare is only having financial problems because of the irresponsible Bush tax cuts and Bush recession. That those screaming about health care reform also carry signs hypocritically proclaiming "Keep your hands off my medicare" shows that Medicare WORKS.

"VA HOSPITAL WAS GOING TO CHARGE OUR MILITARY PERSONEL FOR GETTING HURT IN A WAR ACTION AND ALSO IF THEY HAD PRIVATE INSURANCE."

Yeah, our treatment of veterans is a disgrace. How can that be, with flag-waving chest pounding hawk Republicans in charge so much of the last 20 years?

"MOST OF THE VA HOSPITAL ARE SO RUN DOWN IN OUR NATION. THIS IS A DISGRACE FOR OUR MILITARY COME HOME HURT AND GETTING TO BE TREATED IN A RUN DOWN PLACE. THE GOVERNMENT RUNS IT"

And refuses to fund it properly. Republicans love soldiers...until the war ends.

"WELFARE THEY KICK OFF MANY AND TOLD THEM TO GO TO WORK AND EVEN THEN THE ONES WHO CAN BE ALLOW TO BE ON WELFARE WERE TOLD THEY ONLY CAN BE ON FOR 5 YRS."

Which isn't enough. There is no way you can expect full employment in this nation, especially given the number of people who have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to get by with our crummy salaries. Some people cannot work, and to treat it as a character flaw is stupid and wrong.

"BASICALLY ANY PROGRAMS THE GOVERNMENT IS BEHIND OR RUN IS A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY."

No, the disgrace to our country is people like you who attack OUR nation and OUR government...government of the people, for the people, and by the people. You ignore public health which has saved countless lives AND made tremendous scientific discovery, public education which in spite of being dreadfully underfunded still has us as one of the better education nations in the world. Rural electrification, interstate highways, those seem to work pretty well.

"THEY THINK THEY CAN RUN HEALTH CARE FOR THIS NATION AND SAVE MONEY"

It's a fact. It's been shown in dozens of other countries.

"WHAT A JOKE THEY ARE THINKING THAT.. IT WILL INCREASE OUR TAXES"

I doubt seriously anyone screaming this Rush Limbaugh trash in all caps is really a wealthy person...or an adult at all...your taxes aren't going up. The wealthy MUST pay higher taxes, the rate now for the wealthy is ridiculously low.

"EVEN THE PRESIDENT MEN WERE TAKE TO THE WOOD SHED AND SPANK FOR SPEAKING THE THRUTH ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS TAXES WAS GOING TO HAPPEN."

There's no reason at all taxes need to be raised on the middle class.

"IT NOT OFF THE TABLE THEY SAID"

Which doesn't mean it's going up, it means they won't ban the idea, which would be stupid.

"the lies my democrat party tells are a whopper"

You haven't pointed out a single one yet.

"queen nancy telling us that we are un-americans,"

The despicable behavior at the town hall meetings IS unAmerican.

"a terroist, mob of trouble maker just because we don't beleive them and their lies"

You've STILL not pointed out a single lie. The fact is they're opposing health care because of blind, stupid hate for ALL government...encouraged by the wealthy who want their taxes kept low no matter how many people die from substandard health care.

IT WAS A PACK OF LIES!!!

If you want to go to these rallies, and a speaker shows up to get support for the health insurance, you do not need to interupt the speaker to the point that the speaker cannot speak. That is the most un-american thing to do is and to undermine the democratic process. If you want to speak, let the speaker finish then he will ask if the are any questions. Yelling out is not the democratic process. So seat down, shut up and wait till your turn. It is like I am kindergarten again.

Here is the another problem I see with the comments here. Have any of you robo-republicans sat down and read the entire proposal?

Read the thing, then come on here and comment. Trust me, you will sound alot more intelligent. With comments like were broke, do not spend my money. Should have stood up 8 years ago with Bush and his trillion dollar war deficit.

To all you abortion supporter. How many unwanted children born have you adopt? I do not mean your wealthy church members, I mean you regular joes? One, two, you mean you have not? Wow, talk about Jesus and being a hypocrite. For all that have, I support your decision on anti-abortions, to all that have not....shutup!

Robo-republicans want to support anti-abortion but then they want to do away with DHS, DCS and all government programs that support women who have unwanted children. What? stupid people. You want the government out of the picture, but if you could have supported your unwanted children. Government programs would not be around today...duh!

Robo-republicans want to support the war, and military stuff but not when it comes the veterans. Looks like you robo-republicans got it all figured out.....if you are a moron.

JayM--"Thinker, the funding of abortion is a HUGE concern for me as well on this new plan being proposed."

Women's health care MUST be a part of health care. This is a constitutional right, and to deny that right to women because they cannot afford it is not only morally wrong, it's stupid because who do you think ends up paying far, far, FAR more for unwanted children?

"I am not sure what type of barbaric reasoning is being used today that allows this obscenity to continue to exist,"

It's not an obscenity, it's unfortunate that unwanted pregnancies happen, largely because the radical right refuses to fund family planning worth a darn. No, the obscenity is that we have so many children in poverty in this nation, and YOU want to create millions MORE by denying women reproductive choice.

"much less put put in a health "care" bill. "

Abortion, whether you like it or not, IS health care.

"There's not much health "care" involved for anyone during an abortion."

Lie. There is.

"This administration has never tried to back away from its open support of abortion rights."

Thank God. Just another reason why, for the problems there've been, he's an excellent president.

"Well, here's one way they are trying to push their agenda."

There's a word for that "agenda," it's called "freedom." You really should try it some time.

"No wonder they were trying to rush this through. "

There are some idiotic Rush Limbaugh lies in this whole discussion, the idea that they are "rushing through" health care...a good 18 years AFTER they killed it with the same sleazy lies...is just a clownish joke. The GOP wants delays so they can cook up more mob violence at town hall meetings, making it look like there's this huge "outrage" about health care reform. The REAL outrage is that we have millions with no decent health coverage, and people are fighting AGAINST them having it so millionaires can have another tax cut and we can afford another illegal war.

The most intelligent post I have read. Rick Scott who is a HCA BILLIONAIRE, is supporting the red neck idiots to shut down the process, by interupting speakers out of there turn at these support rallies. Yelling out tyranny, like they know what the definition is. Listen up, Rick Brown is smart and he has money. He knows that he will be losing money if this passes.

Rick Scott has become wealthy ripping off the government programs meant to help and support the elderly and the medicaid recipients. He got caught commiting fraud Tried Google HCA fraud, it was the biggest law suit in history. But no...lets not change it, that would be wrong (sarcasm here)

The south is doing what it does best. Stop progress. Remember the civil rights movements. Southerners were happy with slaves, they did not want to work the fields, so they beat the slaves and made them do it. Who help free the slaves, the north.

Ignorant redneck southerners, babbling about health care reform at these rallies, like they know what they are talking about, and half of them have not even read the proposal, they just listen to the main stream extremist.

I can't wait to see how many people show up? Please give us the numbers over the TV.

I just want to know when everyone was screaming and saying disgracing things to president Bush when he spoke why that was o.k. What makes me mad is Dems can curse and talk bad about republicans, but let the same thing happen to a dem and we are lunatics.

Anyone who has any common sense will know that there is no way to fund this health care plan without raising everyones taxes. Personally I am tired of paying for everyone else. I am middle class and I pay enough already. The great thing about America is if you are a hard worker, and you get up and off your lazy behind you can get a job and get your own insurance. If your company does not provide it then get an MSA, or pay for your own. I don't know if you have paid attention, but TENN Care has broke Tennessee. Same principal as the National Health care plan.
HELLO!!

I guess the difference between myself and you is: I believe each person has the right to go out kill and bring it home. I should have to take care of myself and my family and yours because you haven't figured out how to do it. So, quit whining everyone has the same oppurtunity to go to school, get an education and get a job. That is the great thing about this country if you have the drive then you can succeed. If you don't I shouldn't have to pay for you.

I am part of the GOP and I am going to a town hall meeting. No one contacted me and asked me to go. I want to go. I want my representative to know that I don't want this plan. I am an American and I have the right to voice my opinion. As do you. Also, this country is a democracy therefore majority rules. Just in case you didn't know. So, if the majority of the people don't want it we shouldn't be forced to have it. That is why we have to make sure our representatives know where we stand. Ever heard of the Boston Tea Party I believe we are having another one here. I find if funny when dems talk about freedom and democracy it only refers to them and what they want.
