Arguing semantics is SO counterproductive. JC.

See, I'm using my context clue skills to understand you are wishing death upon your fellow Americans.

Tell me again why I should take anything you say seriously?

You call for your fellow Americans' deaths because of disagreement over healthcare reform and I'm supposed to believe you are thinking rationally. I don't think so.

It's not health CARE..it's health INSURANCE.

America is in decline and more and more people just can't afford to live in the US.
So yes, something will eventually have to be done at the fed level.
But you can't tax "the rich" to keep everyone else living a middle class lifestyle.
Sooner or later people will need to deal with reality that we cannot tax the rich to provide for every American.

I'm a-ok with my taxes going up (along with the rich) if it means we have a single payer system.

You are going to get your single payer health system, but be careful what you wish for.

Nope, didn't go over my head. As a matter of fact, I caught your meaning right away. You know what they say, there is a grain of truth in every joke.

And why not? BECAUSE THEY ARENT BEING PAID.. So how exactly do these doctor offices stay open without payment?
Um he already has 26k patients! WOW! He won't be able to serve them because he is covered to thin as it is! I wonder how long a wait is for a new patient there...holy crap.

Then pay your employees better wages and then they could afford their own private insurance OR pay cash for services.

On another topic, does the government have lots of trees or something where money grows freely and they just harvest it? I thought it raised money by taxation.
Government prints money on a daily basis just ask them to do that.

Nah he is not quite 1 yet.

civil guard..uhm...the liberals gutted the reserves/national guard in the 90s'

btw I am retired military (25 years retired Army First Sergeant)
Not a national guard but an actual civil guard. Keeping the streets clean,starting private companies even, in my perfect country all illegals would be rounded up and put in prisons to be put into the system then deported. Gonna need workers to detain them and keep them fed/healthcare given to them/guarded so they don't escape. Invest heavily in alternate energy sources as well we can find places to put these folks that are close to retirement. Working in bringing legit new immigrants in, so many options my mind is just overwhelmed with them.

Meh. The gloom-and-doom dire predictions don't scare me. Knowing quite a few people who live and have lived under the single payer system in other countries, I am looking forward to it.

Healthcare, like education and other public services, should not be a commodity.
