Comments on: WP Healthcare Shocker: Public Opinion Unchanged http://www.fair.org/blog/2009/10/20/wp-healthcare-shocker-public-opinion-unchanged/ The national media watch group Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:19:07 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Almaciga http://www.fair.org/blog/2009/10/20/wp-healthcare-shocker-public-opinion-unchanged/comment-page-1/#comment-10217 Almaciga Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:07:50 +0000 http://www.fair.org/blog/?p=13140#comment-10217 What is it about healthcare reform that has the Bachmanns and the rest of the republicans so scared that they are willing to incite to violence. In the news today there was Bachman and the House minority leader inciting a revolution. And the funny thing is that there are people out there ignorant ienough to believe thier lies. I say it is funny because we pay senators and congress people a good salary, their insurance is paid for, they have good retirement and they are supposed to be working for us, and yet we are scrunching and being abused by the people we hired to represent us. What is wrong with some of our Americans so called citizens? It doesn't seem logical to rational people. I know they must be worried about the debt, but we just bailed out Wall Street and the economy is not getting any better. How come we had the money for them and not for something so necessary as health care reform?

But when Joshua Says:October 21st, 2009 at 6:15 am "Wow, that last comment wasn't a comment….it was an advertisement. Perhaps FAIR should consider removing it." What was that comment advertising? Perhaps it was advertising that polls should be left out of the discussion, but since polls are a big part of the reporting shouldn't they at least be mentioned? I kind of side with Anna Galvin who argues against the business of 'coverage'. Coverage might be merely a means of hiding the awful smell until the hearse arrives. Single-payer is a must & it should not be 'affordable', because as soon as affordability is applied so is means-testing. I'm obviously late in this discussion.
