We definitely can and will do it. Everyone will be covered; we'll do it together as a nation.
"Together as a nation?" Does that mean everyone will pay? Because as it is now, any household which pays less than $30,000 per year in federal income tax is taking more in federal government benefits and services than they're paying for. Federal Spending per Household
did you just admit to living in the state that gave us senator mommy? aka lil lizzy.

Shame shame.
Senator Warren and I have a similar political history. She is quoted saying, “I was a Republican, because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore.” The fact that her superior intellect and unparalleled morals scares her RWNJ colleagues in Congress is perhaps the best repudiation of your vacuous comment.

without getting into ted kennedy, and the crimes he committed, yes, "admit." senator mommy is probably one of the most embarrassing people in senatorial history. but I have never really expected all that much from tax-a-choosits. fortunately the rest of the country views her as she is. a raving ranting lunatic.
please respond to the comment I actually directed toward you: "Only myopic self-defeating irrationalityrefuses to see the value in earning more money because it isn't even-more, more money."
We have. I live in Massachusetts. We have demonstrated to the nation that the system works.
Wow, are you ever in denial.

A new report from researchers at the University of Minnesota details the magnitude of Massachusetts’ health reform catastrophe. They interviewed more than 3,000 state residents in 2010 and found that “Massachusetts continues to struggle with escalating health care costs, reflecting the decision to defer addressing costs in the 2006 legislation.”
The study revealed that the share of insurance premiums for family coverage paid by the average worker jumped more than 10 percent since 2006. Half of respondents said that they were spending more on health coverage in 2010 than 2009. And a quarter weren’t confident that they could afford care the following year.
About 1 in 4 respondents reported delaying treatment because of concerns about cost. That share is up from 2006. And 1 in 5 adults had problems paying medical bills - the same percentage as in 2006. “There was no sustained improvement in problems paying medical bills,” the researchers wrote.
I see you're referring to the many people on public assistance
False. I am referring to the arguments claiming progressive taxation a "penalty".

False. That doesn't make it a penalty.

I wonder if you realize the irony of making that statement and then following it up with link to a website written for right-wing nut-jobs. You've left little doubt how folks who support the position you support guard yourselves against coming to understand the reality of the success of Romneycare - the success at doing what it is supposed to do, not necessarily what you personal would have wanted it to do, of course.
