Insurance companies already make these decisions. This topic on RATIONING has been covered. Anymore buzz words from the Health Care Industry propoganda machine?

I see I am correct you think the healthcare fairy will pay for it. Sigh. Your dear party has promised to raise taxes on the rich. I can understand why you don't believe them as they do have a hard time with the truth. But they never lie about raising taxes.

Oh no, you mean this ISNT an actual Act on the books? After all these posts, it turns out the rich not only are NOT being taxed "again", they havent even been taxed YET? Why didntcha just say so?

Rasmussen is questionable at best.

But the problem you have here with this poll is that it does not apply to the issue (taxing the rich) being discussed here.

It should be over 90% like it was in the 40's and 50's.

Maybe sanrene works for a private insurer. That would explain a great deal.

I was not aware the rich were not being taxed, you mean their tax rate is zero oh my.

I posted the definition for again I suggest you review it then come back to class.

Taxes will be raised on the rich according to the dems to pay for Healthcare.

Then they will need to raise taxes to pay off the huge debt being wracked up.

Hence the use of the word again.

Why not take everything from everybody then have the government give everybody the same amount of money! It worked so well in the past.
