If rwanda can do it, certainly the united states of america can do it. amen to that. stacy ritter are, thanks for joining us on the ed show, . i just want to point out to our audience, not in a grandiose way in any manner, but these are the real stories that just don t come out about obamacare. you know, we re hung up in the minutia of what are they going to pay, are you going to see your doctor, is there going to be a death panel. all this stuff. but when you listen to mom s talk about how their family is affected, how can can it not move you as a consumer? as a human being? as an american? this is a chance for this country to move forward. and there is a full-throated effort by one political party to stop the whole thing. no wonder darrell issa didn t want stacy ritter to testify. he might have to look her in the eye. remember to answer tonight s ....
That is absolutely amazing. and it s all because they are void of a plan, void of ideas, void of fresh ideas. and they claim that they are the party, and they are the ideological fit for small businesses in america? gimme a break. they have done nothing for small business ever since barack obama has been in the oval office. they have tried to obstruct absolutely everything. and now that the hourglass has turned on obamacare, they are desperate. get yourself settled. i want to know what you think. tonight s question. are republicans afraid of obamacare because they know it will be successful? text a for yes, text b for no to 67622. go to our blog at ed.msnbc.com. leave a comment. we appreciate all the twitter action, as well. and like us on facebook. now, tonight, what i want to do is bring in stacy ritter. she was not allowed to testify in washington today. she was blocked by republicans from testifying. but she certainly isn t blocked ....
He s got these folks right where they deserve to be. all of the obstruction they have come up with, all of the attacks that darrell issa has played on american workers, all of the efforts they have done to stall job growth in this country is all coming home to roost. and now they re going to do anything they possibly can to stop obamacare, because this is a huge ideological shift in favor of the progressive movement in this country. think about that. we are going to make sure that millions of americans get health care, and this crowd wants to stop it, because they re heartless and they re all about power. so they re desperate. they don t know what to do or how to do it at this point. so all they want to do now is, well, we re going to take this bill, and we re going to defund obamacare, and we re going to attach it to shutting down the government. they are going to do something very radical as a policy move. ....
On the ed show. and stacy, i appreciate you coming on the program tonight. you play a vital role at this point in the midst of blockage by the republicans. your story needs to be heard by millions of americans. because it is a war in the arena of public opinion. you were blocked from testifying. how do you feel about that? angry. annoyed. i feel like it s, you know there was no one there who was a consumer, actually, talking about consumer protection. so it was a little bit aggravating to sit back and listen to all of the lies and the rhetoric and not be able to do anything about it. stacy, what would you have said if you had been given the opportunity to testify today? well, i would have let them know how obamacare has helped my family so far. my identical twin girls are cancer survivors. they have bone marrow transplants when they were 4 years old and required a lot of extensive medical treatment. very expensive. we capped out our coverage. ....
We filed bankruptcy. had these provisions been in place, that wouldn t have had to happen. now that we re protected from that, my girls can no longer be discriminated against from having a preexisting condition, thanks to obamacare. my daughters have access to preventive care they need as cancer survivors now for the rest of their lives, without worry of outrageous co-pays. there are so many things. and now that they re adults, because of the damage caused to them by the radiation and chemotherapy treatment they had at such a young age, they need hormone replacement. they needed hormone replacement therapy for the past five years to grow, for growth hormone, which my insurance company repeatedly denied, even though my doctors insisteded it was medically necessary. so that was a huge fight. and now that there s obamacare, has patient protections in place for that. ....
