Why? What does being in the 21st century have to do with it? Who cares what France does? Move to France.

Sounds like a winning plan. You also avoid the cost of Obamacare, too. A bonus.

Thanks to Obamacare.

Oh, please! Did you just fall off the turnip truck? Perhaps MSNBC is not keeping you informed.

Typical liberal ignorance. "Give us more free stuff. Quit protecting our allies (especially Israel ... Right?).

[Liberals need to be forced into a re-education camp, to learn about our founding, study the Constitution, and the Founders view of government, as well as "Progressivism," where it came from (Europe, specifically, Germany), and why it is at odds with our founders view of government and the idea of unalienable, natural rights.]

I'm sorry too. I weep for America. The "Progressives" have nearly succeeded in destroying it.

That isn't the purpose of government. Citizens are supposed to pay for their own needs.

Have you ever studied American History? Do you understand our Constitution, and the founders view of government? Do you know what "Liberty" is? What it means?

Why do you want government to take care of all your needs, and give up your autonomy? Who will pay for all your "free stuff?" Who decides what your needs are? Bureaucrats, that's who. That is slavery. Serfdom.

There is nothing wrong with our health care system. I think it was the insurance system that needed to be reformed. More competition, for one thing.

Well that seems to be what this is trending to..that government takes care of you financially.
