Sorry, but this is unadulterated horse****. The folks arguing against healthcare reform HAVE insurance, and see no need for those suffering to have any, or to see any real change in rates or deductibles.
They're not farsighted enough to see that they could be the ones suddenly diagnosed with MS or Parkinsons, or cancer or something else. It's all about them. THEIR tax money, blah blah blah.
Well, I didn't want my damned money going to the freaking Iraq war, and it did. I'm happily childfree, but you don't see my griping about having to support the public schools either.
There you go...it's "unadulterated horse****" because they see it a different way then you do. Quess what? Right now I am not insured and I am still against the health care plan as it stands right now. Quess what else, I actually have empathy for people. And no, it's not all about "their tax money" - it has to do with others who have different opinions and this still is America I believe where so far we can still express them. Maybe those against it don't like the government running health care and now talking about bringing the IRS in on it. Good Lord....look at Medicare and Social Security...my what a wonderful job they have done with those 2 programs.
BTW my original comment to you was on your post to Satch, not to discuss the disastrous health care plan.
People "are" entitled to their opinions whether they are a Dem, Repub, or Lib. And to wish bad on others is just plain wrong. Satch, along with a few others can never post without certain posters pulling their attacks...it gets old!
You are making up your own set of facts, and while your opinion is fine, your "facts" are not.
Satch never posts without calling everyone in sight a name (or three or four). Yes some people respond with more names, but it is always started by Satch.
He probably has the highest ratio of moderator deleted messages of anyone.

Ah....here comes the Big Daddy. Was wondering when you'd appear. Wrong you are...I have seen posts where you and CC immediately started in with him. And, that's a fact.
Where is Satchie? I asked him why he is concerned that Obama is going to cut $500 billion from Medicare. After all, it is "socialized medicine." Satchie & Co should be cheering lustily for cutbacks, even total abrogation of that programme.
Satchie & Co have suddenly become apostles of fiscal discipline. Fratboy lied his way into a war that cost us over a trillion, over 4000 American lives, and over 100,000 Iraqi lives - but Satchie and his despicable breed declaimed anyone at the time who protested this Big Lie as "cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys." Cha Ching is fundamentally right - these dirtbags deserve no empathy.
Try living in a state where the policies now require everyone to have health insurance. Trouble is it is based on income...sounds good ....
1. until you lose a good chunk of that income and can no longer afford it...they will not adjust you payments to accommodate...
2. anyone can be turned down due to pre-existing medical problems...now what do you do....you can't afford the premiums if you can find an insurer.
3. the state "miscalculated" the amount of unemployed people that it would have to provide free insurance to and now is going bankrupt
4. oh and did anyone put a clause in that prevented illegal aliens from qualifying for free insurance??? NO
5. if you don't provide proof of insurance with your income tax filing...no return for you...you get a $1500 fine!!

Your own set of facts, again.
Not to mention a lack of respect for others rather than the empathy you claimed, and a little name calling there just for starters.
You're doing good today... eh?
