One job of the government is to protect the country.....right? yes. the job of the government is NOT to provide health coverage for everyone. there. that is your answer.
It was also not the job of the government to intervene in the dying process of Terri Schiavo. Yet that's exactly what the so-called small government Republicans did. For the Repugs, government is evil unless it is them at the helm, then they'll ram their power down your throat.
You guys really are grasping , you admitted you applaud Bush for the move, yet you are not happy that conservatives didnt take him to task for doing something you were glad that he did! Did somebody say liberalism is a mental disorder....................

No, conservatism is hypocrisy. If you can take Obama to task, you should've taken Bush to task. You claim to stand on certain beliefs then stand by them..Not only when a (D) is in the Whitehouse.
I too applaud him for this move. My point is that sometimes government must step in when private industry fails as it has with health insurance. I didn't oppose Bush then and don't oppose Obama now but many on the GOP side have choosen the latter and not the former.
The government's failure with healthcare lies within Congress itself. The only thing the government needs to do is provide a structure that allows any american anywhere to purchase any part of healthcare coverage he deems appropriate for his life and/or family's condition. Anything else is a hand out.
Congress. Structure. You know, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Post Office.

Let the people do the rest.
Allowing "the people" the opportunity to purchase whatever insurance they want does nothing to curb the waste, fraud and abuse and/or afford those same people security if those private insurers decide to drop them because they feel like it.
Tank, I can't co-sign you on this one. Considering it was those private companies that allowed those terrorists on the plane, the same that were on the no-fly list, I applaud him for this move.
It was private companies that allowed BushCo into the WH - and terrorism took off from there.
