1. Yes, they can either visit an ER and raise all insurance rates or go bankrupt.

[misterhighwasted]

2. Apparently he is correct since Texas keeps electing idiots like Perry.

Red State mentality defies the existence of basic common sense.
That goes for SC.s Corbin too.

[RickG]

3. For once I agree with Rick Perry

Elections have consequences. When you refuse to vote for your own best interest, or the interest of others because some billionaires have convinced you not to, then you get what you get.

[drm604]

7. Except of course that many of those suffering from this voted for Democrats.

So they're suffering the consequences of how the idiots voted.

4. What a dumb fucking ass.......

5. Poor Texans

Can't we all just get along !

6. Part B of medicare is an integral part of the arguement

Part B of Medicare is an integral part of the argument.

That is a cultural disadvantage not to be an integral part of the debate in what Americans know as Part B of Medicare.

Plan B has been law a long time before the Affordable Care Act. Yet, it also must be purchased separately. From my view Plan A B C D should be combined into the ACA.

ACA is like car medical insurance, but for normal living, needing to have just living in life an American needs health protection especially being poisoned in food water air, or just walking across railroad ties picking up Creosote. A small quantity of Creosote is toxic and it is considered a carcinogen. Public knowledge in this area is not done at all by the railroad industry. Just as asbestos, or smoking and cancer was avoided by corporate people.

Advertisements for Plan B and the United Health Care Company are saturating the airways in Chicago. Good reason to take time to audit these companies, the industry and the health care data base systems.

It’s a curiosity too because United Health Care Company has been in our Health Care industry for much of the last century as a key player in the Railroad Transportation Industry. Texas being a huge railroad transportation hub is a key player in data base formations.

From my own real time experience shows a questionable argument is in progress as in an OSHA investigation that is challenging the quality in the United Health Care medical data base, particularly for determinations and solutions in diagnostics.

Current charges are the Union Pacific railroad coupled with the United Health Care data base is loaded with uncertainty for diagnostic resolutions because of poor to criminal safety management practices. They should be audited and exposed for corruption.

Its obvious the past decades is loaded with unfair medical determinations. That is good reason for all kinds of attorney advertisements throughout the electromagnetic spectrum about poison and asbestos.

8. The ones who are allowed to vote love to punish the others

It's Gawds Way!

10. Lying asshole

He and his ilk don't want the people of TX to have healthcare because they want ALL the money to flow upward and fuck those at the bottom. Same thing with Rick Scott, Scott Walker and all the other Repug governors who have refused medicaid expansion. They really hate the working class.

[geretogo]

11. This just shows there are some people that are so dumb they don't realize how dumb they

really are .

[I hate liars]

12. But that's what [rich right-wing] Texans wanted...

There - fixed it.

[knightmaar]

13. "A crazy state, as far as I'm concerned."

But that's what Texans wanted? We're talking about a very narrow and specific definition of "Texans", aren't we?

[randr]

14. Another example of how "oil rich" means

nothing to the people who put up with the extraction industries.

[ErikJ]

15. The GOP is a Death Cult.

THis just proves it more.

[Cha]

31. They'll be sorry when they don't have anyone alive to vote for their stupid a$$es except 1%ers.

[valerief]

16. Perry speaks for all Texans. Well, those who are, at the least, multimillionaires. The

rest don't matter in our oligarchy.

[turbinetree]

17. AUTHORITARIAN CAPITALIST

This is a prime example of what a AUTHORITARIAN CAPITALISATS does, people have PAID into MEDICAID and MEDICARE out of there pay checks and this former republican dictator with the help of his right wing legislature says guess what, "I RICK PERRY" the right wing republican hypocrite emperor which I am, I will not and did not let you have what you paid for out of your taxes to help you out, but guess what since I am a former governor I get all my benefits from you the Texas Taxpayers so go sc**w yourself----ha, ha, ha.

[essaynnc]

18. So what's the truth???

Yes, we'd all like to believe that this is not true, that Texans Want Health Care, but does anyone have a poll or two that would directly refute what the Guv' is saying about his fine people??????

[SoapBox]

19. Remember to Just Die Quickly!

Pukes and Baggers ARE the Death Panel.

[Turbineguy]

20. They seem to have an idea

to solve this situation by getting more of them shot.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. That's fine. Start turning 'em away from the ER if they're uninsured.

[Buddha2B]

22. As an Insurance professional from Australia

all the anti-Obamacare rhetoric from Repubs is absolute Nonsense. I've done studies, I'm qualified and I've worked in Insurance for over 20 years in Australia. The idea that nothing should be done (like Obamacare) is absolute nonsense. Insurance essentially is a legal contract for a period of time. It's 100% dependant on the laws of the land (Contract law) and government to set limits. Insurance companies can and will bilk and scam people out of money. My current capacity is that of a claims co-ordinator for an Insurance Broker. We act on behalf of our clients to liaison with the insurance companies. The idea that Insurance Companies are angelic beings who only ever want to do good for their clients at the time of a claim is absolutely farcical! There would be no need for me then.

It might be that I'm biased, because I'm a broker that represents the client, but I've been in the game long enough to see the bullshit.

Republicans are elected reps, and yet they all side with insurance companies.

23. There is a libertarian I know who tried to tell me

That a majority of people without health insurance are in that state voluntarily. She also tried to tell me that she had bought a decent health insurance policy for $50 a month.

My response was that I have believed for years that libertarianism requires rejection of reality, and I wanted to thank her for confirming my belief.

She quoted Rand Paul who said in 2011, "With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have to realize what that implies. It's not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery." See here for his remarks. Of course, anyone who believes that is definitely in cloud-cuckoo-land. But then, the British National Health Service relies entirely on slave labor. It's why no one over there chooses to become a doctor. The £120,000 a year plus bonuses they earn is just not going to make up for being a slave. I often cry my eyes out at the sight of nurses all chained together as they stumble exhausted into hospitals under the whip of an overseer to begin another day. Yet still they sing, old nursing blues songs that get them through.

The libertarian woman tried to say that when the government sets the terms and conditions of healthcare provision, as well as the allowed remuneration rates, how does it differ from slavery? I said that once more she showed that she did not live in the real world. Everyone who works for any company has the company set the terms and conditions of their employment, as well as the compensation rates.

24. He's got his...

That's what matters.

That's the way it is with all these rich f*cks...

[Snotcicles]

25. Clearly, their desire for health care is only matched by their desire to be educated. nt

[Gothmog]

26. Goodhair is too stupid to be the GOP nominee

[DhhD]

27. Perry wants no justice for those he serves, as if he enjoys killing people.

28. If those 22% got off their asses and,,,,,

voted against these idiots they would have insurance!

[blkmusclmachine]

29. Perry is a Christian Reconstructionist/Christian dominionist.

Check out New Apostolic Reformation theology for more information about this incredibly malignant form of hard rightwing "Christianity."

30. remember the alamo

And Texans want ass reamings also.

32. K&R

- I'm hoping that he's arrested for that Texas prosecutor-tampering thing, right there in the middle of a debate. Now that's top entertainment value for your campaign dollars!!!
