You don't want your own health care, says big brother. But mandatory government taxes and fines will make you take theirs and pay for it.
Excuse me... but yes, I'd like very much to have the same coverage I already pay for my "Big Brother" Sen. Richard Shelby. And the damning fact is, we can give everyone in this nation that coverage CHEAPER than paying for "insurance" to deny you if they can for a profit increase. But you would rather the nation continue to pay an increasing amount for less coverage because ... what, can you give me a decent reason?
Next in line is legalizing the millions of illegals so they will get this health care.
Ok, so you want to use illegal aliens to scare me? Not going to work... that argument is taken care of by deporting them. Until then... yes, treat them for broken bones or communicable diseases... because we are not only a humanitarian nation... we also are intelligent to understand that the "uncovered" incidents arriving at the ER drive up costs for everyone. So take your "debt/fear of immigrant" arguments elsewhere.. .because they do not belong in a reasonable discussion on how to best "insure" the health of our nation.
How long before you are old enough to be "deleted"? How long before they say your health care is cost prohibitive.
How is that different from having your current insurance cancel on you because of a typo? That crap happens all of the time. Companies dropping insurance coverage because its "too costly". They are "For Profit" after all.. .and they don't turn a profit by paying out... they turn a profit by collecting premiums and denying payment.
So once again, non argument. Death panels... really?
How long before only those ramming this health care crap are the only ones able to get treatment, since they opted themselves out of it.
Not sure, your question is vague and certainly misleading. How would the ones who opt out of treatment be the only ones who could afford it?
but I know this... the current system isn't working... MILLIONS can't afford it. Not a matter of "they're too lazy", because you know the medicare thingy is already taking care of those "freeloaders" you're crying about. The folks who are not able to afford healthcare are WORKING... go figure.
Lets make a real argument... Will the foot draggers and nay sayers trying to stop this bill from being "rammed down our throat" do anything to make it more affordable? They've had plenty of time and insurance lobby cash to work it out... and their plan? Fear... pure and simple. I'm supposed to be afraid of "Obamacare" despite the fact they have had ample opportunity to craft and pass their own bill... and what did they do with that opportunity? They could have been responsible legislators and participated in the AMERICAN PROCESS OF LEGISLATION... but no... they wanna run around on the news channels and scream SOCIALISM!!
Well lemme tell ya, fear is working. Fear my daughter won't have insurance next month... fear that the repubs are doing nothing despite my having defended them for 17 years since voting for Bush's Daddy.
Fear that the American Public are too shallow to see thru the tired ruse of "Tax and spend Democrats" when the "cut taxes and spend" party has bankrupted this nation.
But hey... sure, sit in your foxhole and cry foul that a black man is smarter than either one of us... and is actually making congress pass healthcare reform. That's effective, its inspiring... it inspired me to reply after promising myself a hundreds times over "Do not respond to the teabaggers Dewy... they are baiting you... they don't have any facts... they just want to drag you down to their level and beat you with idiocy".
Take my word for it. Those self gratifying self serving bastards don't give diddley crap about you or your health. This is about control and power. It has nothing to do with your health care.
How can I take your word for it... I have read and studied on this topic for the last 15 years. Health Care in the US is broken.... but your tactic is the teaparty tactic... Scream Nazi/Socialist until the Repubs save us.
And that's a load of male bovine manure you can take to the bank.
I'll grant you the repubs can sow fear... the majority of American's "oppose obamacare" 53%-48%... but when you actually look at the provisions in the bill as currently written, they approve of each by 60% or more. But folks aren't reading the bill... they are hearing the sound bytes, and lemme tellya, the Mob loves fear. Its like a primal animal honoring one of the primal instincts.
So instead of responsibly legislating... the Repubs sow fear... and you're here echoing their talking points. Enough already, we get this crap in a steady diet from "talking heads" like Beck and Limbaugh... we don't need it in a musical forum. Even the general topics section.
Your uniformed opinion and my informed opinion will get us both a cup of coffee... if we put a dollar with it.
