Somebody get him some more kool-aid with a stronger concentration mix, the regular stuff isn't working anymore....

Of course the politician had nothing but rhetoric, bullet points and lies....

there are many independents who aren't buying it either... HEALTHCARE that is.. because they can't afford it!!!

just sayin...
keep smearing it.. keep talking trash..
the industrialized world has public health care.. and many of them have higher life expectancies and better overall health than the US...

access to affordable healthcare involves the "general welfare" of the country... if people don't have their health.. they don't have anything in this life...nothing else really matters...
so.. shut up.. quite making it out to be something it isn't.. and lets move on to the next level... in actually taking care of the interests of ordinary americans.. and NOT special interest corporations who only care about making profits..

the problem with the UHC countries is that it is NOT AFFORDABLE, not one of them is solvent, they are all slowly bleeding to death.

and we're solvent huh? we've been in debt for decades WITHOUT UHC..
problem is.. to pay for it.. we'll have to cut back on military and other pet projects won't we? no more policing the world... boo hoo...
like I said.. we don't have anything without health...
so.. make it happen.. and then go from there with a balanced budget...
not a hard concept really...

there is a difference between a government program being insolvent and citizens being insolvent.

so what you are saying, you would rather the government bleed to death, and fail?

umm.... government cut back on funding? wow, I do not think I have ever seen our government do that. I know they like to raise taxes, and put more burden on the forgotten middle class in this country. But CUT something out of government?

clinton managed to balance the budget...
all I'm saying is.. placing the burden of healthcare upon small business and employers when the cost of it doubles every 8-10 years is not sustainable either...
It's about priorities... and healthcare should be in the top 3
You do realize that 45 percent of your total compensation by your employer is healthcare insurance..? as that rises.. the only thing to offset it is your wage to decline or remain stagnant in the face of inflation.. which is still a decline...
so.. to all the people against healthcare reform, and UHC... I want to know what your beef is??? is it the word "socialist"??? that's got you all up in arms??? fact is, many of the people at these crazy town hall meetings protesting are on medicare themselves.. which is a fantastic program.. and guess what... it's socialized healthcare!!

you people don't make any sense...
you don't have a leg to stand on about care, and service and quality.... the "facts" you all like to rant are lies... I've lived overseas and experienced UHC... it works, it's fantastic.. offers much better choices for doctors than what I personally have through my employer's "network of doctors"
The only other issue is cost for you all...
and funny how 6 years ago.. you weren't protesting the war in iraq and the nearly trillion dollar pricetag...
but now with healthcare reform... you squawk like a chicken with it's head cut off...
cmon now.. how do you expect anyone that's not drinking your koolaide to take you seriously???
