Fox News Fear Mongering

This video pretty much speaks for itself.
I feel bad for all the old people out there being lied to by the "fair and balanced" news station(s)

[video=youtube;d3aUJm--ifs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3aUJm--ifs[/video]


And watch out, insurance companies are trying to send out letters claiming that because of the ACA that it is "mandatory" for you to switch to a different,more expensive insurance plan, when in reality, you could very well keep your old one or choose a different company/whatever plan your heart desires. Whether it costs more or not.

Like in the video above, the insurance she had VS what will be available to her did cost her more money, but actually covered her in the event of a medical situation.

Its like how car insurance is mandatory. So there are a whole bunch of people out there selling shitty insurance policies that offer minimum to no coverage for just a little less than a plan with real coverage that will protect you if you get into an accident.

With health insurance, there are companies peddling shitty products for more than theyre really worth (like any salesperson) and leaving you with 95% of the medical bill or prescription payments for paying only 25%-50% less for your "insurance" that only insures that they get their monthly payment.

Its like throwing your monthly payment into a box. Then after a couple months-years of you not being sick and all of a sudden you become sick, take that box and throw it into the fire and let it get goin good. Then try to grab as much money out of it as you can. Thats about the return you get on junk insurance.

I have no desire for the GOVERNMENT to tell me what is, and is not, good for me. That's my human decision. because I'm a real person who has my own thoughts. I'm not a follower, especially of Socialism.

Did you even watch your own video? It's the Young Jurks spinning to defend Obama, which by the way is a pathetic attempt.

Fox was talking about Obama lying to the American people, saying they'd be able to keep their plan if they like their paln, it was a stone cold lie.
Who decides if the plan they had was good, the Young Jurks?

How in the hell do you consider this fear mongering when it's a straight up fact?


Dude, you are way, way off base here. If anything, you should be condemning the president for his lies.

Can you believe it? These "non-progressives" are actually defending Faux News!!


You guys never cease to entertain!

Quite the opposite to be honest.

But my bad, Buckie has so many puppets on this board it's hard to keep up.

I've seen your posts, it's obvious to most that you have trouble "keeping up."

Yeah, we don't need those water tests for mercury and lead, we don't need to be warned about e-coli in our meat, we don't need that bad old government to make decisions for us at superfund sites where all - ALL of the children in a particular school are brain damaged due to the lead in their parent's front yard. No, hell with that government telling us what is and isn't good for us. We can make up our own mind - just as soon as the businesses that make these messes get around to telling us that we are being poisoned.

FOX news scares me. I watch FOX on Halloween only...not before bed though. there is a shift in political power every 33 years according to political scientists. the republican party will loose in another landslide election in 2 years, they will loose the House and the Senate will be even stronger Democratic. IN 10 years there will be no more republican party. There will be a unilateral party system once again with Christian conservative democrats and liberal democrats. Then when the 33 years of domination, a new party system will emerge.

it is like clockwork, not my opinion...just science

this country has a long and glowing history of nuts and flakes, and just about as long a history of those nuts and flakes organizing. If there is no Republican party the nuts and flakes will have to create one yet again.

Where does it end for you canndo, when would enough be enough.

If the federal government made it mandatory next year that all persons driving or riding in a vehicle are to wear a three point harness, a DOT approved full face helmet and a fire proof suit, would that be OK with you?

No doubt it would saves lives, would you be up for it?

Im not bashing the republican party.... And yes, just as in the days of the Jeffersonian Republican party or the "Era of good feelings" there were still two distinct parties and a bunch of flakes and political weirdos...as Canndo put.

Soon it will all just be called one thing...Democratic... there will still be conservatives and liberals.... the republican party is out in left field right now and they know it...its not their fault, the country is changing....just a passing of time is all... nothing personal against republicans....I am happy if you are republican...at least you give a shit or democrat... CARE

I might, but that isn't really the point - there is that slippery slope you trot out so often. How does one get from poisoned water and earth and being protected from those things by the only - the only entity that is capable of doing so, to three point harnesses and crash helmets?

well , some folks here could really use that helmet..

Um, we are talking healthcare, not EPA. However, since you brought it up, the Governments role is to PROTECT the people, not DIRECT the people. Look, if Obama and all the lefties wanted to make sure they kept their voters happy by giving them free healthcare, then find a way to pay for it and give them their damn free welfare. For those of us who don't need/want it, we should have that choice. That's what being an American is all about, or used to be anyway.

Choice? what is that? Are there certain situations where direction IS protection? i think Healthcare is such a thing. When your premiums rise to $10,000 a month, what sort of "choice" do you have? I was talking about farmer's attempting to invoke the federal government to force their neighboring farmers to till their land in a certain way. Yet they were simply trying to protect their own land from the encroachment of dust. Till the land in this way and the government will give you money, till it another way and it will not. Is that choice enough? In healthcare, you have the choice to pay a fine or purchase insurance.

But I see you still believe that any of us believe that health insurance should be free - we don't. We also acknowlege that those who do not carry insurance cost the rest of us regardless of government intervention (that is unless you would like to see those who can not immediately pay for their care cast into the street).
