I pray that they don't get sick, but why should we responsible people take on their bills?

If you feel that that is mean, so be it. You pay for them.
If you made 8/hr and worked everyday and had no insurance would you still be this person who will not pay for HC? These are good decent hard working people. They work harder I bet than any tea party member.They just cant afford to pay $500 a month like I do for coverage. So if the tea party feels these people should die they need let it be known.

First of all, did you watch the debate?

I did.

Nobody cheered for someone to die.

Secondly, when it comes to social programs and taxation, the left always wants us to live in a theocracy.

Take personal responsibility for yourself.

Why is someone saying that the bad guy, when the irresponsible party is not held responsible?

For all the Faux Christians out there who would celebrate a man's death because he chose not to get insurance: "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)

Last time I checked, Jesus didn't have crucification insurance. Shame on Him.

I was watching the debate that was aired on planet Earth. Not sure what you were watching.

Didn't obama just pass "the affordable care act"? aka. obamacare?

Insurance should be next to nothing now.

Or do you want to admit that the bill was a farce?

If you want insurance, you will find a way. It depends on what your priorities are.

Many people who are low wage earners carry insurance because they are responsible.

I have zero tolerance for irresponsible people and the people who make excuses for them.

As I stated in the post prior to this one.

Didn't obama just get "the affordable health care act"?

There should be nobody in that position, right?

Nobody cheered to let someone die.

Unless I am wrong all that cheering came before Blitzer mentioned death. At that time a couple of guys yelled, "Yeah". This progressive spinning about the timing of Paul and Blitzer talking and what happened later is getting very tiresome and I am sure that most progs haven't heard it at all, let alone know what I am talking about.

Are you one of the people who haven't watched, or really watched that video?

Did you really listen to that video? Most of the progs I have read here didn't but they accept all the spin.
