Democrats never have cared about the Constitution.


Maybe someone in each of those families should become a doctor.

They are in demand right now.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Why are you now hijacking your own thread?

When Romney turns around this economy - people will have jobs.


If Romney only cared about himself ( as you think ) he wouldn't be running for President.

Anyway, you won't have any choice in the matter because Obama is not going to win another term.
DON'T GET ME ****ING STARTED ON THAT COMMENT!

Travel the employment forum and see the post I made. I have been searching for work NON ****ING STOP since graduation in December and can't find a damn thing! Let alone a job as generous to provide healthcare benefits.

No, he will LOSE! Because Romney has not a clue in his mind of the suffering everyday Americans are going through so that rich people like himself can line their bank accounts with gold.

No one should face such financial troubles when they get sick!
Ahhh, poor baby.. What you have is a bill you cant pay.. That doesnt put you into bankruptcy

ps, your hospital has programs to help pay the bill, they probably would have qualified you for them if you didnt LIE to them.

Get Obama out of office and see the money flow from businesses. They are now just sitting on it trying to find out what will happen to them. Since Romney won't penalize them for their success everyone will profit.

well, since Mitt is almost a billionaire, I dont think he gives a tinker's dam about anyone not in the top tenth of the 1%.

He cares about Barclay's Bank and Goldman Sachs.

No, they didn't! I signed up for the surgery once and they said they wouldn't continue the schedule unless I could pay for the cost up front. I canceled the surgery appointment with my doctor.

A few weeks later I rescheduled the surgery, but dodged the early phone calls and just showed up at the hospital the morning of the surgery. They tried to get me to pay up front with a credit card for a discounted price but I didn't have the means. They weren't going to cancel the procedure, so I was to have the surgery. I assume they will figure out soon enough that I do not have the ability to pay.
