Comments for Boustany on Dem health plans: ‘Scrap these bills’ at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 9 out of 9 comments http://www.theind.com Sat, 18 May 2013 04:48:09 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6096 The only thing I'm convinced of is that the congressman wants to keep his seat, no matter the cost. I don't for a minute believe he had the interests of the working class Louisiana citizen at heart when he ran and nothing he has done has convinced me he's anything more than a "party man". In fact, I believe in addition to his disability check, he's just working on a fat cat retirement. This trust-fund baby has no idea what real working people have to face, what obstacles they have to overcome and what it costs to insure a family or provide basic medical services for that family. - Morrow Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:28:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6091 I'm not pro/con republican nor democrat, but I find it reeks of mendacity to throw rocks at the democrats for trying. Where was his plan when the republicans were in control. From the time of John Breaux, I have been asking my representatives to give us the same health insurance they give themselves. Either raise ours or lower theirs, nothing else is justifiable. - Geraldbertholl Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:31:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6088 Boustany and people like him are the problem. They are bought and paid for by the insurance industry. Stop standing in the way of progress you ignorant mouth-breathers. - Thad Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:09:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6086 I'm proud to have Congressman Boustany M.D. representing us; with his background in medicine he understands what our health care system needs to police itself. Insurance providers as well as medical facilities and physicians know what is most cost effective for their customers/patients without BIG government taking over the sixth largest segment of GDP. The majority says, "NO", yet dems want it all I call it socialism of a great democracy. Congressman Boustany keep fighting for us, you are the heart of America and Acadiana! - Justice For All Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:45:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6085 I'd like to know why Representative Boustany does not give up his own Government Sponsered Socalized Medical Insurance? I'd like to know why Rush Limbaugh described the medical treatment he received in Hawaii (who has socialized health care) the best medical care he'd ever had. (I'll give you a hint, he didn't know it was socialized health care there) All I hear from the republicans is Wait! Stop! Hold On! Whatever you do DON'T DO ANYTHING! Yea, the last thing republicans want is for a democratically controlled government to do something right. They will do anything they can to stop the debate, stop the bill, stop ANY progress from happening at all. Meanwhile Americans are getting screwed by the insurance companies, medical industry and the pharmaceutical companies. Doctor Boustany would like for you to WAIT so that he and his professional peers can suck more and more of your hard earned dollars while providing less and less services. If you think stockholders are interested in your health then you're living in a dream. If you think your health insurance has not gone up dramatically then you are not paying attention. Tell us Dr. Boustany, will you promise us NOT to become a Pharma/Healthcare Lobbyist? I'll bet that once Boustany is done with his political shenanagans he'll step into Billy Tauzin's shoes. Somehow I don't believe the majority of the public wants to be paying more for health insurance than they pay on their house note, but that's where we are headed, like a freight train and the Republicans don't want to put on the brakes, because the Republicans are SPONSORED BY BIG PHARMA/HEALTHCARE. - HealthCare is a monopoly and price gouging is their game. Dr. Boustany Knows, he's part of it.

Because of him, Medicare (and therefore you, me and everyone else) must pay through the nose for prescription drugs while the rest of the world laughs at us. Becuase of him, our charity medical care system (and therefore you, me and everyone else) pays for a pound of cure instead of a penny of prevention. Because of him, my tax dollars go straight to pharmaceutical-company shareholders. Because of him, people like you and me die every day in this country, who would live in places less wealthy. Why, again, are we putting up with filibuster obstructionism by the know-nothing, do-nothing minority? - Ryan Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:19:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6082 Where is the republican solution? - Dddd Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:18:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6081 Boustany rehashes the standard GOP talking points and votes against health care reform. Boustany talks a good bipartisanship game, but hasn't supported a single one of President Obama's initiatives. Just another lockstep follower in the Party of No. - Gee, big surprise Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:17:44 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5786-boustany-on-dem-health-plans-scrap-these-bills#comment-6079 Thank you congressman Boustany, keep speaking up for the majority of the public and keep fighting for us. - Larry "Oak" Aucoin Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:49:43 +0100
