As a parent with a special needs child. I share the same concerns as this man, about the Obama's new health care system. I cannot believe that he was treated in the manner that he was. Here is a link to a video from a town hall meeting. Please, please watch this video and give me your opinion. I cannot believe that he was threatened over this!! Here is the link to the video. http://www.breitbart.tv/f...

So Pelosi thinks we are unAmerican when we speak ("interrupt) at these meetings?! She is a little Hitler, I'm surprised people haven't realized it quicker.

The people won't stand for this, there is a demonstration scheduled for this Thursday. If we can stay awake and outraged and think of our children, they won't succeed. I pray that the people will find their backbone and take our country back before we accept a "health care" bill that robs us of our loved ones.

Thanks for bringing this out into the light, I had not heard about it. I think there are probably lots of these incidents that have been hidden by the media.

Can you imagine having someone show up at night and threaten you over it. That is scary.

I wathced the video. I think he could have handled it a little better than yelling but still he just wants to know if his son will be insured to the point that he needs. I can understand his concerns. I don`t even understand the reform bill at all. It`s too confusing. One person will say one thing and another will dispute it. When are they gonna put it in words we all can understand? I`m not a stupid person but that bill seems to keep changing and who can make any sense of it? I hear Obama say things about the bill then I hear someone else, like a representative or congressman say something completly different. I did like what this man said about putting their family on this plan and see if it works for them.Personally I am scared to death that no one will have help. And what about this fine for not having insurance? I thought if you couldn`t afford insurance that you would automatically get the government insurance. So why would this mans son not be covered/ Medicaid and medicare right now sucks anyway. The share of cost they have now is ridiculous. Sorry for such a long response but it really burns me what they are doing to us and we can`t stop them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

I am with you, I think he could have handled it better, but having a child like this myself, I totally understand. What scares me, is he says if it cannot fix it, we won't waste the dollars. If it will not cure you, we won't do it. That can mean many things, but it scares me to death. There have been many references to people like my son, not being included. The question is, what does that mean. Where is it they are included? I already have to fight for everything he gets. It is crazy. I think we should all get to vote on this thing. We should be able to know what is in it.


myLot reputation of 84/100. bitoffun (159)   ranked 515 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

I think we all should be able to vote on it too. All those higher ups don`t have to worry about their health care like we do. But at least make it so we can understand what it says ya know?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

They all say they know what we need? They haven't a clue. They should start by trying to be a middle class or poorer person and deal with the issues we do before just putting things in writing.

I live in Michigan close to where this father lives. And as I am a mother of a C.P. child this outrages me! And it sickens me that he is being threatened over this! What is this country coming to?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

What are they going to do? Threaten us all. Do they not think that we are thinking the same thing this man is?


myLot reputation of 99/100. babyangie27 (1221)   ranked 55 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

With all the stuff going wrong with my life right now let them threaten me lol I am on the verge of cracking anyway.

The linked video was IMO an excellent example or just how devastatingly this proposed health care bill would affect American citizens.
I am a proud Naturalized American citizen and this has to be the worse political time I have ever experienced. What Obummer and his staff of thugs are doing to this wonderful country is beyond belief. Everything Obummer has done and is doing will destroy what made this country great. I agree that our health care system needs to be overhauled but I am amazed that people do not understand that this proposed health care bill, with it's public option, reducing medicare services yet paying for illegals (foreign criminals) coverage is the last thing we need!!!! angry


myLot reputation of 91/100. Skyeblue25 (194)   ranked 2,918 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

That is awful. I really hope this is not allowed to go on. I watched the video and also read the article about deadly doctors in the new york post. I have a son who is autistic and because of the help he gets he is able to live an almost normal life and he does a lot better at school because of the medical help he has received. If anyone took that away because they classed him 'as not a productive citizen' it would be completely devastating to him and to the rest of us as a family.

What gives anyone the right to decide that certain people are more important than others. It is completely unethical. If people with disabilities are refused care then surely the human rights act can get involved? It is those with disabilities and the elderly that need the most care. Why should anyone be able to refuse it and take away their ability to have a decent standard of life.

I am thankful I do not live in America. I have often thought that you had the best doctors in the world and it would be an advantage to live in America. But now I have read this I see that my son would be severely disadvantaged had he been brought up in America and this ruling was allowed.


myLot reputation of 78/100. whiteheather39 (13453)   ranked 113 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

When I came to America 32 years ago I believed I was coming to the best country in the world and IMO it was until this year!! I am so glad your son is getting the help he needs and is doing well.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

I also have a child that is 15 and has CP. There is no one that has that right, but it sure seems like it is happening. It is so scary.

How can it rightfully be called a town hall meeting if we aren't allowed to share our views. I thought that was what a town hall meeting was all about. Those with special needs are just as human as the next person and in the health care system, EVERY person deserves care. I'm not in favor of this health care system because it is so flawed and it is so filled with pork. However, I also think that the healthcare system in this country needs to be fixed, but it is not being done in the right way.

What happened to this man is shameful but not surprising. It goes right along with how the Democrats behave. If you disagree with them, you're un-American, or stupid, or "AstroTurf" or any number of names they can think of to call you with their arrogant, elitist, condescending regard for the American people. They don't want to hear anyone call them on the carpet about their beloved government controlled health care. Even though all the polls show that the American people don't want it, they are determined to jamb it down our throats whether we want it or not and it has nothing to do with a concern for anyone's health.

Everyone should be acutely aware that the reason they want "government controlled health care" has absolutely NOTHING to do with health care and EVERYTHING to do with "government control". The whole health care issue is nothing but a mechanism to widely expand government control. It's all part of the master plan. Obama himself stated that the so called "government option" is the first step to a "single payer system" which is government-speak for a health care system totally run by the government and all private health care will eventually be phased out. THAT is what is at stake with the health care bill. A total takeover by the federal government.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

I do not think such a big decision should be made without the people voting on it. The government is in our lives too much now.

That is awful isn’t it? I don’t live in America and I feel for anyone who has to care for anybody else with a disability; it is one of the hardest jobs in the world and to be treated like that just for speaking out is appalling. I don’t understand how anyone can refuse care to those who need it; what kind of world is this turning into? What is the point of a meeting if views are not heard?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

It is getting out of control. Why didn't they just say it was a meeting with no questions or comments allowed. Do they think we are all for this plan, I don't think so.

I am just lost for words. This man, is a dad of a special needs child. He deserved to have his voice heard. I didn't see a man trying to cause trouble. I saw a dad, trying to get answers. I think before these leaders have these town hall meetings, they need to get their facts straight. They need to know that not everyone is going to bend over and get screwed by them. I agree with this dad, before forcing a medical plan on us, they need to put their own families on this plan. I honestly don't know much about this plan, because there hasn't been much about it on the news, just that Obama is trying to get it passed. I think it's scary that these things can happen without taxpayers being able to vote on it.

Americans are losing their freedom a little bit each day. As an American, we should be allowed to vote on what we want, instead of having it pushed down our throats to the point that we choke on it.

Also, this dad and his family shouldn't be threatened over what he did. He has every God given right to express his concerns. The goofy bald looking guy could kiss my butt for all I care, if it wasn't for Americans, he wouldn't even have a job.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

Do they think we are all just going to lay down and take what they dish out? I have a feeling alot of them will be voted out next time, especially if this is how they handle things.


myLot reputation of 96/100. chertsy (2617)   ranked 293 out of 3,134 in news  2 months ago

I do think that they think we are just going to lay down and take what ever they dish out at us. Plus we as Americans needs to stop laying down for these goons. I don't have a feeling, I know a lot of these guys will be voted out the next go around. Scary part of that is who will come in next. I would be shocked if Obama is elected again for a 2nd term, I mean it happened before with Bush. These people seriously need a major wake up call, and realize it was us Americans that put them where they are today. Since we put them there, we can easily take it away from them.

Personally it is quite amazing that he is acting like this. I would think it is a mockery to a lot of people out there, and I wonder what people like Sarah Palin also thinks since she has a Special needs child as well. Personally I cannot believe there are people out there thinking this will be a good thing. From someone like me who is Diabetic and a lot of issues stemming from being so at times, his Health Care plan ideas scare me, and I think all we can do is Pray and hope for the Best from there.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (7982)   ranked 1 out of 3,134 in news  4 weeks ago

I just cannot believe that even the people there did not stand up for him. It was a very weird situation.
