Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) introduced a bill (H. Res. 615) that would require democrat congressmen to enroll in the public-option system when it turned into a single-payer one.

Why did these donkey-leftists struck down this bill?

WHAT A BUNCH OF HIPOCRYTES!

And alot of libs are saying they have hopes a public option would transform into a single-payer one including Barney Frank.

I hate to say it, but politicaladdict has a point. Why won't progressive Democrats enroll in the same health care plans they want to introduce to the public?

No he doesn't. This legislation isn't about forcing anyone to do anything. It's about providing options. If you want to choose the public plan because you can't afford a private plan or you don't like your private plan or you don't like paying a for-profit company for health insurance or whatever other reason you may have, you have the option of enrolling in the public plan. Why should members of congress be deprived of that option?

Fleming also didn't introduce a bill, he introduced a non-binding resolution, meaning he had no intention of actually trying to make this a law but rather just wanted to make a stunt.

And it's spelled "hypocrite".

Well, they have something in the bill that would make insurance companies illegal in about five years, so no choice there.

STUNT?... PLEASE!

No, they don't. Read the bill you idiot.

Fleming's proposal is a stunt. Learn to understand pronouns.

An amendment like this actually passed in the HELP committee in the Senate; one of the dumbass Republicans introduced it because he thought it would win him some political points, and Kennedy and the rest of the Democrats voted in favor of it.

I see, so this bill would've forced congressmen to go with the public choice. That makes little more sense now.

Let me try to word it a little more correctly for your little libby-brains.

When I say "require into the government-option" is that when it does become a single-payer system.

And even if you get the impression that this Fleming bill would force congressmen into a public-choice regardless, wouldn't matter anyways, RIGHT... because it still great, RIGHT?

The bill, or whatever you libs wanna call it, by Fleming, would not make it into law until after the system turns into a single-payer one.

There WAS a proposal in the bill that eventually made insurance companies illegal and even Barney Frank admitted he wants a public-option because he has FAITH it'll turn into a SINGLE-PAYERone. Look at the youtube link for yourself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3BS4C9el98&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.newsmax.com%2FManage%2FVideos%2FVideoGallery%2FBarney-Frank--Public-Option-Would-Lead-to-Single-P&feature=player_embedded#t=26

And plus Obama said he wanted a single-Payer system before.

It doesn't hurt to have an amendment ready... just there health plan.

No.

You don't understand what you're talking about.

You haven't read the bill.

You're an idiot.

My sister's fiance's dad was bitching about the health care bill today (he's a partisan hack Republican)... and his new wife from Arizona was bitching about it as well.

I come to find out that while she is a hardcore conservative Evangelical bible thumping Republican, she is on disability and gets state funded medical insurance because of a "back injury".

So I bit.  I asked why she didn't get a job and go out and pay for her own insurance.. she said she couldn't because she hurt her back.  So I asked her husband why he couldn't go out and get a job to pay for his wife's insurance (he's 'retired' at 62).. all he could come up with was "well.. um... well that's different"

It seems that those two are all for personal responsibility and sticking it to the poor man until it actually comes down to being personally responsible for themselves.

So, she's on disability, I assume she's on government Medicaid(government health care for poor and disabled)  that no one  ever really mentions.

AND ofcourse Medicaid is going bankrupt.

Well played.

I made this comment before I understood the full ramifications of the idea. I was under the impression it would be alot like the "public choice" plan, ie congressmen would be able to decide whether or not they could have private or public health plans. I wasn't aware that it would've forced congressmen to go with the public option. Or am I a retard right now?


No! Damn you politicaladdict! That puppy is mine!
