Exactly. What did the Republicans do about health care reform when they had power? Nothing.

Actually if states want to do a state wide Medi-Care buy in like what Denny proposed or have that option for an individual like Grayson proposed, it can still be done.

What it does is make us more and more and more dependent upon the GOVERNMENT to solve problems we should learn how to solve ourselves. I don't like being a weak pawn of the government. I am so surprised that so many people are willing to give up their independence because they are "afraid" of some big boogey man.

It's revolting.

Another question you can ask people who bring up this stupid talking point is how does one write something without reading? Did they just close their eyes and let their hands free write the entire bill?

Okay, let's say you have liver cirrhosis. You need a liver transplant, which will cost $500K upwards. Try solving that problem yourself.
