What chance do you give health care reform of passing by end of this year?

None! It has hid the skids the people are speaking up they don't want it!

Lies can win only for so long. In this case, reality will prevail, and the bill will pass.

Why weren't you b****ing about "socialized, government controlled" health care, or deficit spending on it, back then, hmmm?

I did not support the Medicare drug bill. I don't know why people find it so easy to jump to conclusions.

There are those who believe health care should be a right. That statement is evidence of mass insanity or cognitive dissonance.

Let me rephrase it so it makes perfect sense.

1. HEALTH CARE (someone's labor) is a RIGHT (protected by Constitution).
2. RECEIVING HEALTH CARE (someone's labor) is a RIGHT (protected by Constitution).
3. COMPELLING someone else to do or pay for my health care is a RIGHT. (uh - no, that is involuntary servitude)
4. Giving HEALTH CARE is a RIGHT (nope - unlicensed practice of medicine is a crime).

So you see that what the government says is "health care reform" is not.

If you truly want universal health care, you need to decriminalize the giving of care, decriminalize the purchase of medicine and medical machinery, expand medical training and education, and eliminate tort liability by "Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back."

But that requires a reduction in power, which the government is loathe to do.
