Fox News' Briggs: "A great majority of this country -- maybe not majority" is against "nationalized health care"

Bald-faced liars for cash.

And these are the ones who tell us everyday what patriots they are, more so than everyone else.

Not only are they bald-faced liars, they're still clueless as to the meaning of "majority":

"In general, would you favor or oppose a program that would increase the federal government's influence over the country's health care system in an attempt to lower costs and provide health care coverage to more Americans?" Americans favor government intervention in the health system by 69%-29%.

"In general, would you favor or oppose a program that would increase the federal government's influence over the health care you and your family receive in an attempt to lower costs and provide health care coverage to more Americans?" When it involves their own care and their families, approval is still high, but a bit lower: 63%-36%.


Then again, why should this surprise me -- these are the same people who thought the 22% {or less} who were die-hard Bush supporters constituted a "majority" . . .

I recognize the fat moron on the right, but who is the other idiot, the one who has trouble comprehending the meaning of the word 'majority'?

I want my public health care plan.


Mr. News

Stop the madness...

These language experts have told them to always say "health care", whether in the context of "nationalized health care" or any other context: say "health care" always!

Even though it's all about HEALTH INSURANCE...

Would you like PUBLIC or NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE?

That's a plan whereby the 'for profit' private health insurance company has been eliminated, and along with eliminating them, you've eliminated the costs they naturally add to the equation, their costs of paying themselves and of owning the many fabulous practically skyscraper buildings they operate out of (and are always named after them), and the costs of all their travel and jets and company cars and of course their PROFIT, they always manage to squeeze out of the transaction a PROFIT for themselves...

To eliminate them and all their expenses and necessary PROFIT (and what do they do for anybody anyway, that they should PROFIT on your health care transaction), wouldn't that reduce costs to the Health Insurance buyer?

Public Health Insurance!

Call it "Nationalized Health Insurance" if you want!

But stop the madness, stop talking about "nationalized health care", that's their lie, that's what they say it's about... it's not, it's about Health Insurance.

I've actually read about these other countries have for their citizens.
Bring it on, I like it!
Imagine, a not for profit health system where the practitioners of medicine can actually practice medicine because their focus was on your affliction and didn't see dollar signs with every procedure.
Regardless of your situation, you get the best care whether you're wealthy or homeless.
I think the wealthy and privileged are scared to be in the same place as the rest of us.
Some patriots. All they care about is short term profit and neat sound bites.

Mr. Huckabee is such a sweet guy, I think I love him. He has my vote. Does anyone think he loves America?

I guess Huckabee know's SO much that he should be deciding for all of us "know nothings". GOP arrogance is amazing. PS.....looks like huckabee went off that diet......maybe he's been frying squirrels in his popcorn popper again.
Rightwing dictator

Majority or not, nationalized health care is an absurd idea. Fact is...the majority of the USA is too stupid to understand what the upside or downside is. You all just blindly follow political parties. I used to think that the USA was full of morons. Last election removed all doubt.

100% of the people who are against "nationalized health care" are against nationalized health care.

How is it that a network devoted to cost, revenue, deficits and profits never mentions that the US spends more than other countries with nationalized health care?
How is it that those countries with nationalized health care spend less to cover everyone?
How is it that the public insurance option will cost more money to get less than those other countries have?
How is it? It's Fox, unbalanced to the point of insanity.

It is perhaps incumbent upon us to realize just who it is they are talking about when they use the term, Americans---

They represent, speak to, and cajole, the white folk over 40 who make in excess of 100000 a year, the rest of us are here to do the work. Unfortunately, the stupid Democrats have given everybody a vote, whether they are Americans or not. Most to their way of thinking are not...

"Tell them what they want to hear". "The Demographic" is god. Truth is who is spending what, the rest is just noise. The hucksters they employ are judged on their ability to draw the dollar, whatever they might say is of no moment, and certainly should be of little concern to the vast mob of non-americans, off color, and poor. Their pulpit is the business of America is business, their fear is that they will, at some point, be dragged into the streets and butchered when all those non-Americans find out what they've been up to--

For them, it best to keep the pot stirred, and the fog thick.

I would have sworn i heard 70% of Americans are for Nationalized health care.


Mr. News

How long do these verbal proxy bullies think the majority will keep their patience before they get lynched for telling everyone they must suffer in lifelong pain and agony? There are people in the international collective that believe con men should be executed for crimes against humanity. The health care system in this country is a joke, where snake oil salesmen can sell poison to a healing doctor, who gives it to a patient, then the patient dies. Don't blame the doctors when the con men are health insurance execs and pharmaceutical execs.

Maybe the medical professionals who take 2 hours to see you, complete your exam in 15 minutes and bill for over 2000 dollars. They may be mad. Not the majority of the Americans I speak to, they got fed up with never seeing doctors participate in the human interest side of community affairs, give back to the community, or children, and they got tired of them talking down to them all the time not cooperating with what they wanted to include in their healthcare. THey talk at you and not to you and they have done nothing for common Americans outside of the office. They may have the support of legislative officials and other governmnet entities that monetarily benefitted from that past design but I doubt that the average American is complaining. If so, interview them!
