Grayson Weeps on House Floor

Bemoans casualties of lack of health insurance

By Polly Davis Doig| Posted Oct 29, 09 6:55 AM CDT|

(Newser) – Alan Grayson continued with his penchant for the dramatic yesterday, shedding copious tears on the House floor as he read letters from families of people who died because they didn't have health insurance. “For god's sake, I look forward to a time when we have finally done our jobs,” the Florida congressman concluded, pushing his peers to finish the “work of universal health care in America.”

The names were submitted through namesofthedead.com, a website Grayson unveiled last week to highlight the consequences of the lack of health insurance. He later caught ethics flak for including a link to his campaign website, reports Roll Call.

Very revealing post hybrid. Does it occur to you that Grayson actually cares about this issue, and the resulting dead and their families. I suppose you have never been moved to tears, actually I think that is a probability, you sound way to cynical to care about anyone but yourself. In addition, if you think Grayson is hogging the 'glory', why don't you do something constructive for the betterment of society? Maybe you wouldn't be so jealous if you were doing something other than bitching.

Well Janniel i do quite alot for my fellow man, but it is done quietly and humbly. This man has found a way to gain national attention by telling his sheep that men who oppose him want you to die. As the clown above you said it "his hard hart has him convinced that anyone who cares about others is fake. Just try and pretend its grayson hes talking about and maybe you will see my point. Agian with helping society who is doing there job? Not grayson with his class warfare and demonizing of ideology that betters indiviuals not groups of poeple. Perhaps you can better your society by something other than hoping your gov will help the ones you wont. Help from private is less abused than from gov. @face of rnc Your false sence of gov supremecy is sickening. Your thought of me being cold harted cause i dont like profiters of misery. Grayson has always had a hard time of acting like human. His latest ploy is just a way for him to get where he wants; govener. If he truely care then i challenge him to give his insurance to just one of those families he has exploited.

@ hybrid, the name hybrid implies you are a mixture of things to create something new but in truth you are old, old and tired and a total Republican jerk off. In the time that was given for Grayson to give that talk 5 more Americans died due to lack of insurance. hybrid, as the young people say... "Go die in a fire" and that is putting it as nice as I can say it. You MrsKkk, Jayster and the rest of you bigots can burn in your Hell you so widely proclaim. You are something different, you are unAnerican, uncaring and unloved.................fck you very much because one way or another people shall have health care and each year it will get better for all true Americans

your take undr is weak, i find it hard to beleve you could be educated. I have an idea for you, go get a job and become informed. Every one can get insurance right now! You and those folks who dont have it are just lazy. You dont need a po and me not wanting the po does not make me a killer. Try to understand, though i know your liberal nature wont let you, that you will still have to pay for insurance even with the po. Your rates will still go up but instead of having the choice to keep paying your premium or not you will be forced. With the eco like it is and the debt of consumers do you think that some half to take a chance and lower thier monthly bills. I know that you just think that everything will just be provided and you can think like that, but us "grownups"(i am under 30)need to make sure that you dreamers dont bankrupt us. But in the end your little brain can grapse the other side of the issue, you think printing money will solve the issue. You may get this someday but im sure you will pass this sence of entitlement to your kids before you do, thus creating a new breed of head leakers. I dont blame you, i blame your parents who left you with a sence of WHO. who will take care of me, who will give , who will help , who will protect me when i make a mistake. You can only help yourself, this world is ulgy and its time you except that i will not pay for your short comings.

Grayson is tired of waiting for the right to get out of the way of history. The right's insistence upon conserving the status quo of corporations denying customers what they've paid for and awarding millions in CEO pay is part of a festering sore on society. If you are sold on individual accomplishment, then help us put an end to corporate welfare, and corporate control of the government. Shouldn't these entities achieve on their own merits rather than by paying sell-out whores in political office? If health insurers were the least bit interested in providing value to their customers, there would be no movement to reform the system.

I finally watched this. Just when it seemed that the Congressman may be about to become emotional, the video ended, The second video was an interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Seems like newser's headline is dishonest, like the dishonest, homophobic (and racist) ad against teaching "Homosexual Marriage" in public schools that I'm disappointed to find here still though I've been protesting against it for a week. Guess newser has to accept advertising wherever it can be found-- there's a recession, don'cha know.

Penchant for drama? Weeping as he read the names of the dead? Should he have been sniggering ala G.W.? Should he just suck it up and not care? The one that wrote this summary or whatever it is has a penchant for snide comments designed to draw the reader in so that the writer can get more attention and therefore, more cash in the old paycheck.

It's a way to make a point. I've seen Glen Beck do the same thing, but much less convincingly. Grayson gets his figures about the dead from a Harvard study. It's more convincing to me than right-wing claims that America is just fine without health care reform, without a public option for health insurance. Ignore those corporate whores like Leiberman and McConnell. Continue to agitate for the benefit of working people and poor people in America. Reply

Those who think it's acting and fakery have not walked in his shoes or looked into his heart. You have no idea what it's like to live the life he does, and carry around the kind of responsibility he shoulders. If he's really doing his job and listening to his constituents he's undoubtedly hearing countless heartbreaking stories on a daily basis. How could one not be affected by those recollections when delivering a speech such at this? Was it prudent to show emotion as he did -- from the reaction of the know it alls here obviously not. But I think if he were play acting he'd have faked outrage and righteous indignation, Limbaugh style. All men's tears are not like those induced by Glenn Beck using Vicks Vapo-Rub and who knows what other tricks of the trade. The men I know are humans who are sometimes brave and self-confident enough to show human emotion without shame when the occasion warrants. I don't know what's in his heart either, but I'm not going to assume it's anything other than what I would feel if I were in his shoes. And yes, I'd definitely have a box of tissues within easy reach.

I think Grayson is sincere, too- but it looks emotionally uneven, thanks to Glenda Becky's recent tinfoil histrionics. I fear that the message- which is VERY real- will be diluted as a result.

may be you noticed that i said the word lazy, every one can get help but many are to lazy or dum to find it or get it. Stop playing this game, pre-existing conditions would break the insurnace companies. I have a Pre-existing condition and i dont blame the insurer for not covering me, i wasnt paying for coverage when i got it but i have insurance covering anything new that comes up. Insurance gaurds agianst huge cost, thats it, it is not to maintian health or "en"sure your health. That is up to you and how you live your life. That being said i do want all covered, but not by the damn gov. Why do you think that the gov is the only option we have? By the way you do realize those parents have insurance for those children just not "cady" coverage. You should chip in and pay to thier health savings account if your so concerned. Put YOUR money where your loud mouth is. Oh and mister educated why dont you hit the reply instead of Comment, or didnt your community college computer class go over that?
