Confident Senate Will Take Reform To The "Finish Line" Video

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. I just want to say a few words about two milestones that have passed in the last few hours that represent encouraging progress for our country.

The first was the historic vote the House took last night on health insurance reform. For years we've been told that this couldn't be done. After all, neither chamber of Congress has been able to pass a comprehensive health insurance reform bill for generations. But last night the House proved differently.

The Affordable Health Care for America Act is a piece of legislation that will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance; quality, affordable options for those who don't; and bring down the cost of health care for families, businesses, and our government, while strengthening the financial health of Medicare. It is legislation that is fully paid for and it will reduce our long-term federal deficit.

Given the heated and often misleading rhetoric surrounding this legislation I know that this was a courageous vote for many members of Congress, and I'm grateful to them and for the rest of their colleagues for taking us this far. But more importantly, so are the millions of Americans whose lives will change when we achieve insurance reform -- families with preexisting conditions who will finally have insurance coverage; parents who will be protected from annual and lifetime limits that can force them to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket costs for a child's illness; small businesses that will finally be able to cover their employees; and working folks who will finally be able to afford health insurance for the very first time.

Americans like Katie Gibson, a cancer survivor from Bozeman, Montana, who shared her story with me this summer. Because of a medical condition Katie's insurance policy was suddenly revoked when she needed it most, even though she was paying her premiums. I called Katie this morning and I told her that when the bill that passed last night becomes law we'll be able to ...

chadfason1970: so now if you don't have health care insurance, you can go to jail? like driving without car insurance? am i understanding this right?

davidburge: We are almost there. This will be some good change. Then we can move on to jobs.

KamikazeKoscki: which will result in at least $70 billion in new annual revenue, much of which is coming from taxpayers

torledo: this is wot i was picking up also.... i dont quite understand it very well, let me kno if u find out any plz, thnx :))

elitebanktyranny: yeah anytime we pass something so blatantly unconstitutional is a very historic moment for me this country fucking sucks I wish I would have been born in Lebanon.... I love destroying it, brings a joyful tear to my eye

TheDatsunKing: @HemiHead66 I think it's unethical with the bailouts, yet the government GAVE them OUR money, with no restrictions with what they could do with it. It's all bull. all of it.

combatvetdoc: This country is headed for another civil war or new American revolution!! Thank GOD we can overturn this on the national ballot!!!!!!

combatvetdoc: Then you won't mind putting this healthcare monstrosity to a nationwide VOTE then huh! MAJORITY wins!! right? MORON!

chewbaca1989: Sorry I took so long to get back to you. That's an excellent observation, that the Republicrats would have used and dirt on Soros against Obama. It's aparent in all the things that matter to the international financiers your voice and mine don't count. NAFTA, for example was introduced H. Bush and Ratified under Clinton. Soros has beet against several currencies, the Pound, and Malaysia curency (Thailand, maybe). W. Bush was a globalist and H. Obama is one too. The dirt on Soros is kept mum

HemiHead66: Not many people know about Bush and NAFTA. They bash Clinton for it. Bush was trying to fast track NAFTA and he ran out of time. From what I hear, it was sold to Clinton as - Good for America! Obama may be a globalist - but how much of one? He stopped those crooked trade deals with Panama - Columbia & South Korea. That Mexican trucker program. Put a tariff on Chinese tires. Buy American in the stimulus. The way things are now - anyone that don't do for this country is going out the door.

chewbaca1989: J_sus C_rist, man, he was President of the UN Security Council, that's high treason. He did do well with the tires, but the Cap and Trade will export jobs. It's kind of when Al Gore told Amerians NAFTA would create jobs. Prior to NAFTA we produced 90% of our own clothes. Now Gore tells me carbon is a greenhouse gas, I'll pass. I'm sorry but the government and Obama's ears are to big.

HemiHead66: @chewbaca1989 Yeah - there were a lot of Democrats sold on the idea. Both Clintons pushed the same shit. All I'm getting at is that it wasn't "ALL" Clintons fault like everybody thinks. Got that??? And I know what the fuck this country used to make. What do you think I was born fucking yesterday? And I'm not some Obama kiss-ass. I've always been against cap & trade. There are better ways to fight pollution / global warming. They can start by keeping fucking oil companies from setting policy.

HemiHead66: @chewbaca1989 And by the way - Soros ISN'T going to change anything with this country. The people have just about had enough as it is.

chewbaca1989: A thought: Current Events form future trends. Brilliant, I'll agree with you that folks have had enough. Now get away from the newspapers and TV's that are selling you snake oil for a minute. Soros and internationalists have been waist deep in America. I've got news for you. You may not have the same understanding or knowledge of history I have. The worse things get the more they will promise you a pie in the sky. This is nothing new in history. Current events form future trends.

HemiHead66: @chewbaca1989 Iii - Yii-Yii. I don't read Newspapers. And I have a satellite dish with a grand-fathered in package that has 7 - HBO's - 2- Cinimax's - 5 - SHO Times - Flix and Sundance. I read to get all my information. Soros - I know the talk. He's a commie fuck - ya-da ya-da ya-da! George Bush and his North American Union. The EU and their treaties. This country is not going to stand for it. Watch and see.

chewbaca1989: Carbon copies. Carbon copy newspapers and brainwashing Hollywierd movies. Hey, I read two languages. The news used to be very different. Forign language outlets I read as a kid it were very critical of American events. Those forign language outlets are now carbon copies of American newspapers, your masters. Bru-ha-ha-ha. Conspiracies, who would have thunk? Carbon Copies. I's Ok, things will get worse, according to Soros, not me.

wbtaylor1: Although the majority of Americans are happy with their health care plans, Polosi and her band of runaway thugs passed this death sentence on America and the American freedoms we enjoy. She passed it in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. Now is the time to make your voice heard to Washington. Tell your Senate leaders if they vote for this they are going home! Vote out any member of Congress that voted for this disaster and tell everyone you know!

HemiHead66: @chewbaca1989 Does it always take you an hour to reply? Brainwashing Hollywierd movies? I can smell Bull-Shit from a mile away. And so you're a smart person. Ra Ra Ra! Does that mean you know everything - No! What do you want from me? Do you want me to concede?

treid100182: BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! GOP/Neoconservative interest groups invading YOUTUBE... PNAC/Heritage foundation BEWARE of Lobbyists.

sikovit: The Affordable Health Care for America Act ? Okay, ....so How can I afford insurance if You have out-sourced all of our jobs, are letting all the illegals in to take the jobs left......I can barely make enough to keep from foreclosure and pay the electric bill.... And if I do not Purchase YOUR health insurance ...I get a $5000 fine and 6 years in jail? This makes me SIK!

themarshall65: The elite have tried to take the power away from the majority for centuries. Now its coming back to us. And Im SOOOOO GLAD youre pissed about it. HAHAHAHAHA P.S.....GO FUCK YOURSELF.... SNICKER, SNICKER, TEE HEE, I MAKE FUNNY!!

chewbaca1989: Of course I'm not all knowing, I just know that you read carbon copy news. I used to be called a conspiracy theorist when I said the UN is going to destroy the dollar and usher in a NEW WORLD ORDER. Now your carbon copy media is saying this is a fact with a straight face. When you tell me something I don't know I'll look into it, thoroughly. Yes, Hollywood has been used as a propaganda arm by the government since WWII. If you can't even believe that's possible you can not concede 13 hrs

Zile77: Oblama needs to be locked up for ignoring the Constitution. There is TV footage that shows Afghan insurgents with US ammo. Oblama ordered it to them. He's a damned traitor who wants us defeated. Hang his skinny ass!

augoustinos: Hoy!!! Slow down mate. The dollar is kept artificially low so that your economy does not sink under your INSANE debt (may I specify the one spent in military expansion, not the one not yet spent on healthcare) and addiction to oil! The whole world is suffering from this idiocy just to keep you guys floating! I think you would gain from reading, if not cc media, some foreign one

camyellowjacket: this guy to say obama is a traitor is a dumb ass who ever says that the health care system is good. i want to know what plan you are on. so shut your mouth when you start making comments like that to your president. show some damn respect!
