Just because someone may have a similar viewpoint doesn’t mean they are one of them. I am sure I could come up with a dozen demeaning stereotypes about you based on your posts. But how would that help?

I am not a fan of government healthcare at all, yet I don't give a darn where Obama was born, when McCain divorced or any of the other non-political politics issues. I don’t support conservatives but at the same time I do fear the unintended consequences of government care. There is already a movement trying to limit the types of food we are “allowed” to eat. This is even before we are all paying for each other.

Hey - why not answer the simple question: How many Americans are you now claiming are without health care?

You already LIED when you pulled your BS number of 60 million out of thin air. Why not just go for the whole enchilada? You have absolutely no credibility whatsoever anyway.

There's absolutely no point in trying to talk sense with a crazy liberal. They put their brains in neutral, and close their ears, when they start spewing garbage like this.

This is the same person who, just a few days ago, was claiming that 60 million Americans have no access to health care.

Reality is a non entity.

There is no such thing as FREE. No nation in the world offers FREE healthcare. You pay with either money, quality, accessibility, taxes, economic growth, choice, etc etc.

Oh, no, Omaha Rocks says I'm getting it free, and so are a lot of other people. Look:

If Omaha Rocks says it, how can anyone possibly dispute it? He knows everything, including exactly how much I have paid into any and all health plans, and how much I have gotten out it it, and now much I will get out of it in the future. See? Look!

And there's that confirmation again that people are getting free health care. Or at least, that I am.

I didn't say I got it free. Omaha claims it's free for uninsured Americans.

The BBC is not out of thin air. As for credibility you have zero, nada, none. Your posts are full of BS.

Much of it is free to the uninsured but the cost is paid by the rest of us.

As I said, the uninsured will not get all the preventive or non-emergency care needed. Free blood pressure or cholesterol tests are hardly enough. Women need mammograms, pap tests, etc. How many uninsured get those free on a regular basis?

Hilarious! Even the UNITED STATES CENSUS only claims 46 million! But no, the BBC would be more accurate than that!

Oh by the way, even the Census Bureau admits that they added about 10 million people into that number, because they wanted to account for illegal immigrants - even though they admit they had absolutely no clue how many there may or may not be.

Hey - if the BBC told you I had a bridge for sale in Brooklyn, would you send me a couple million dollars?

Hilarious! Utterly hilarious!
