You say repeal it, and if you say keep it as is. You can also make a comment on. Ur twitter page you can send us an email at. Ournal at cspan. Org one of the contractors on the front page, there suspect a lot of time in the witness chair at the energy and commerce committee. Same headline and picture on the front page of the Washington Post. Representative kim murphy is on the committee. He is a republican from pennsylvania. Heres a little bit of what he had to say. As chairman of the Oversight Investigations Committee i have heard numerous promises from the Administration Officials that all is well with the healthcare law. Not true. Either these officials were shockingly unaware of what was happening inside their own agencies or deliberately misleading our committee and the public. This would all turn around. Two weeks before enrollment began we were told that consumers could go online, shop and enroll on october 1 heard not true. We were promised a website where people could easily compare plans and costs. We find the later American Public has been dumped with the ultimate cash for clunkers, except they had to pay the cash and still got the clunker. And from politico this , the Obama Administration is working to push back a deadline wyoming,in casper, what do you think should be done with the healthcare law . Caller i wish i could repeal it. It would be better for us because, im not sure. There has to be a reason why you think it should be repealed . Obamas of president he should be able to do what he wants to do. That needs to say also there should be a choice if you want obamacare or not. Also the government is being closed down just because of obamacare . Becausenot civilized there are a lot of people on government, but now obamacare is new, but he wants to just, i dont know what he wants to do, but i think you should have a chance to do that if he wants to do obamacare because that is what he wants, you know . Host that is christine cassel, wyoming. I think it should be delayed because there are a lot of issues with it. Host ok, what kind of issues do you see . There are a lot of people were i live that are unemployed and cant afford insurance. Related article in the Washington Post scott wilson writes obama is able to fire, but not so willing. David, in new windsor, maryland, what do you think . Caller if you are a windows user you know their updates to windows about every other day. Enormous amount of progress were going through. People need to remember that in addition to the federal government, the republicans on the federal side were doing everything they could to derail this. The republican dominated states are also refusing to set up exchanges. Theyre doing everything they can to make it fail and i think the only way to prove whether it is going to be successful or not is to keep pushing forward and give people a chance to really use it and take advantage of the benefits. Host thank you for calling in. Edmund tweets in regarding yesterdays hearing at the energy and commerce committee. Heres the New York Times this morning. Frank pallone is a democrat from new jersey. He got a little testy. Heres a bit of that. Information is required in the application process and why is that . Because preexisting conditions dont matter. Once again here we have my republican colleagues trying to scare everybody. I will not yield to this monkey court or whatever this is. Do it you want, i am not yielding. Im trying to tell you that the if preexisting conditions dont matter, if it doesnt apply, then there is no information in the process. Youre not asked Health Information so wiry going down this path . Youre trying to scare people so they dont apply and so therefore the legislation gets delayed or the Affordable Care act gets defunded or it is repealed. Calls. Ow back to your freddie in indianapolis. What you think should be done with health care law, freddie . Im a vietnam veteran who lost his sight while on active duties and i received my medical treatment to the vas health care system. I love the vas health care system. So if that makes me socialist for loving the government for , if that makesme me socialist for wanting everyone to have Health Care Service then im a proud socialist. I am all for leaving the law the way it is and fix the problems. Any american who wants to deny another American Healthcare myvice, i regret that i lost site on their behalf. Thank you. Paul, what is your opinion . Caller that va vet did just called, people out here appreciate your service but there are people i hear that do not want a socialist government telling them what they have and have not. Representative alone right there and that is a clear fact that he just sat right there and lied like a dog like the rest of them democrats are nothing but liars. Host what would you like to see done with the healthcare law, paul . Set it is the first step to hominis him. Should not have to do anything as far as buying something that is forced from this federal government. It is a shame that the democrats. If you like this law so much didnt take your hind end out there and sign for it. What you have is the first up thatds communism. Host was from tennessee. Page the front jack, davenport, iowa. Caller this is the first time we have had computer glitches. Does a been happening forever. Theres a backup plan and i think what they need to do is emphasize the paper applications. Those paper applications will work just fine. I dont think we should stop this help for ordinary people. Those subsidies shouldnt be stopped. Looking at voting problems weve had with computers, those have happened a lot. People are just loving computers and they think that is the answer to everything, but paper gets my vote or die think they should emphasize paper applications more. Host what do think about the law itself . Caller the law is fine. Get the help for the ordinary person going and keep it going. They could have predicted if this was microsoft running this problem that there would the glitches. Is windows 95ere version two and version three. The computer stuff is completely predictable. But paper would work and they should keep emphasizing it. Host all right, thanks for calling in. In caller north carolina. High, jeff. I wish our representatives in washington would just begin to do their job. Finding solutions for problems that we have rather than get up and grandstand. Its a lot of wasted time. I was a Computer Operator for over 20 years. With four different systems. Every time a new system was installed we always had problems. We always had to finetune those systems. So this is nothing new. The republicans should be voted out of office if they are only going to use their time to belittle laws that we have artie got in place. That we have already got in place. Fix it and move forward. Morning,itical this next call comes from nate in new jersey. That is mount laurel, new jersey. High, nate. What you want to see done with the healthcare law . Caller i think it is a good start. I dont think it is perfect. I think there are areas like the escalating cost of prescription that the current law doesnt really control, but i think as far as the use of the makes, i think it americans more competitive in the global job market because we costthe highest medical and if you start competing with india and china and other countries in europe Global Companies who try to hire people, the cost for hiring people outside of the country is less than hiring people within. The healthcare law itself will make americans more competitive in the global market. Also, i want to say the website, i worked in i. T. From us 50 did the worked, i operational Readiness Demonstration for the national is aace system, and this system you saw at 911 with radar in thes and planes skies. The bottom line is, all systems have problems when they are initially introduced. It is just a matter of fixing software. Deal, all the Major Software companies in the tontry come out with fixes projects that are in production all the time. Not just microsoft, ibm, hp, whatever. I think our lawmakers need to work on making the healthcare and concentrate nate, did youost watch a new the hearing yesterday . Caller i watch all of it. Host what did you think . Testing thetarted mass system in the 70s. That went into production in 1971. Were testing 24 by seven we were testing 24 seven for two years. It was a little different than commercial systems, but the point is you dont to System Integration testing several weeks before you getting ready to go into production status. Clearly was i do know of any Major Software company would do that. Host thanks for calling in. From the Huffington Post this morning. That is from the Huffington Post. Heres a front page of the Guardian Newspaper out of london. You can see a full banner headline. U. S. Spied on 35 world leaders. Again, front page of the guardian. On the healthcare law, what you think should be done with it . Line fromling on our portage, indiana. Caller repeal it. Get rid of it. Host why . Caller nothing you have said about it has been accurate. Every time they tried it crimes and and on your throat it is not right area and is going to cost my grandkids their future. Is going to cost my kids more money. They are the ones were going to have to pay the bill for the ones that cant afford it and theyre the ones starting out with children. They have a future. Theyre the ones that are going to have to pay for the ones that are not going to be able to afford it. Theyre the ones that have educations that works to get a good education and have a decent future. Theyre going to have to pay for the ones that arent willing to get up and go out and get a job and work that can provide instead of sitting and being couch potatoes and saying they are suppressed, that they dont have a chance, when they have the same equal opportunity if they get up and go and do something. Just because they dont have the opportunity, thats wrong. Everybody has a opportunity if they want to use it and do something with their life. Host all right, keith, thank you for calling this morning. While that was going on on the hill, the president was holding a press conference in a meeting on immigration. Here is the hill newspaper. That is in the hill newspaper this morning. Heres a little bit of what the president had to say about immigration at the white house yesterday. This isnt just the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do. Securing our borders, modernizing our Legal Immigration system, providing a pathway to earned legalized citizenship, growing our economy , strengthening our middle class, reducing our deficits. That is what commonsense Immigration Reform will do. Now, obviously just because something is smart and fair and good for the economy and fiscally responsible and ,upported by business and labor the evangelical community and Many Democrats and republicans, that does not mean that it will actually get done. Rather than create problems, lets prove to the American People that washington connection resolve some problems. This reform comes as close to anything we have got to a law that will benefit everybody now and far into the future. So lets see if we can get this done. Lets see if we can get it done this year. Front page ofhe the Los Angeles Times this morning. Back to your calls on the healthcare law. What do you want to be done with it . Keep it come a repeal it, fix and delay it . What do you think bill in massachusetts . Caller years ago there is a famous movie called the sting turco paul newman was in it. It is no longer a movie. Obama is not about socialism. Obamacare is a trojan horse for the u. S. To pay reparations for also to relieve the conscience of the white population. We have been had. It amazes me how many people can actually watch fox news and the sow disinformation theyre calling this socialist but is a big giveaway to the Insurance Companies. If it was socialist, trust me, it would be just like the va. I go to the va. I get 80 for writing down. It is ridiculous. I cant leave that people how to get people to say dont help me, dont help me . Believe the plan would be a whole lot better plan if we had a public option in it, but thats not going to happen. I cant believe people would actually call in and say please dont give me health care. It is unbelievable. Thank you. Host thank you, walter. From politico this morning. Michael, right here in washington dc, michael, would he think about the healthcare law and you think should be done with it . Caller thanks for taking my call. We definitely need to fix it. To the callerd earlier you said that obamacare was a first step to socialism because it forces our children to buy something. Children are never going to drive, but when my children grow up theyre going to drive a car and theyre going to have to buy Car Insurance. Many states have lowcost Insurance Programs to help people who cant afford regular private market insurance. To help them keep from going bankrupt if they get in a car accident. The Affordable Care act does the same thing. If the republicans were so concerned about what happens to our children in the future, then they would pass a jobs bill so that these kids coming out of college can get a job. Cringe how much hypocrisy there is when many of the republicans who said the same exact thing about the islout of Medicare Part d far zero glitches and, we just need to work as glitches out, some of the same republicans came down so hard in the hearing yesterday. The republican hypocrisy is just ridiculous. If you listened to much right it is always going to be lost. Host pearson tweets we are getting. Facebook you can make a comment there. That is facebook. Com cspan. Here are some of the tweets we have been receiving. Eric is in laurel, maryland. High eric. Think they should do the kentucky governors version. If you dont like it to step back and get out of the way and let it be done. We had the gentleman just talking name keith. He used code words like these people are depressed. The majority of people that are on public assistance are not black folks. That hurts me. What . T working, but guess i get up every moment ago try to work. I had to quit a job from this company that refused to give me a raise for years work. I was an outstanding worker but they were hiring people of all persuasions. Does unfair stuff. It is going to be ok. Im going to keep on moving. Let the healthcare thing work itself out. Excuse me. If you look at negative stuff than negative things are going to happen. Eric in laurel, maryland in the suburbs. Heres trawls from fort collins, colorado. I think americans just need to take a deep breath, step back and think about this. Where what situation is the alternative . I sat there and watched paul ryans 20 page plan which i read along with the healthcare bill, the 600 page version, go from the cbo. It was left out. It was not viable, the voucher plan. So anybody saying lets repeal this, lets get rid of it and then he hasnt had a chance to get off the ground heard it has been working in massachusetts. Reuters just did a polling there and it has over 85 approval rate, so what are we sit down, take a deep breath, put all the pundits and the talking heads. Way and lets give it a chance because the old system, i think everybody would agree on, both right and left, was nonsustainable and it was a real train wreck, costing us money where the cbo says this will years. Our debt over 10 it will not cost us near what the old system was. Thank you, charles and fort collins colorado. Next week, secretary sibelius will be on the hill talking about the healthcare website, but there will also be a meeting of the budget conference committee. They will begin meeting officially next week as well. Here are some articles this week about that meeting next week. Turc s the hill that is in the hill newspaper. Here it is the Washington Post take on it. Ere is the washington journal take on it. Finally, here is the financial times. Back to calls on healthcare. Stewart, what would you like to have done with the healthcare law. Southt is calling us from carolina. Caller obviously it is a repeal. It should never have been put into place. I have listened to the news more than ever in my life. Since obama has taken office this country has been out of control. I look at the whole process when theyre talking about i finally figured out what he did in college. He had to of been a janitor because everything he does stinks. Theres not one good thing this guy has produced for this country except chaos and havoc. Host ina is calling from denver. High ina, what would you like to see done with the healthcare law . Caller thank you so much. Is hard when youre out in the west heard i want to know why no one has mentioned the rattlesnakes in the gop dan . Just one example for Research Done by families usa. 1996, ceo ofear, Oxford Health plans took 111 in total compensation. Two of the top executives of Oxford Health plans that same year took the following amounts. David snow took 34 million 24,000, Robert Smollett took . 1 million with 170 million going to just three top executives of a small eastern u. S. Hmo. Is he any wonder that there was nobody left for the healthcare of American People at large. Gina is is in picayune mississippi. Caller i think just like the guy previously called, i think our whole country is in just such a disarray that it is turned into a big joke. I think it is hysterical how the democrats are blaming everything on the republicans when they are in charge. It is just an absolute joke. Etting back to the healthcare if you look at the whole picture , in the end, it is going to all fallback on the taxes. Is going to be the middle class that gets burned i
