People can by inexpensive health care insurance for those "catastrophic emergency room visits," but many of those same people would rather pay hundreds of dollars a month on Direct TV, high speed internet, multiple cell phones plans, TiVO, and trips to Disney Land, instead of buying health care insurance.
But for the truly poor, and the people who are temporarily down and out, we have compassion. We generous taxpayers offer "free" health care for the poor, its called Medicaid, and we even have SCHIP for the
not poor, which even pays for the middle class.
When did health care become a federal concern anyway? If a state ignores the plight of their citizens, that the problem of the people in that state. It is not the federal government's job to take care of the people in the state, when it is something the state government is completely capable of doing on its own.

Did 0bama vote for TARP and the bailouts while in the senate?
Yes he did.
Did he sign a pork-ridden omnibus bill, and $787 billion stimulus plan, and more bailouts and more taxpayer money give-aways, as president?
Yes he did.
Does 0bama and his administration want him to sign more bills that will gobble up trillions more in taxpayer dollars?
Yes he does ie... 0bamaCare and Waxman-Markey, and yet another stimulus.
The 0bama administration has released new deficit numbers, and they are not pretty. The deficit for fiscal year 2009, which ended Sept. 30, came in
at a record $1.42 trillion, more than triple the record set just last year. That's just nine months after 0bama took office, quite an amazing feat, historical even. I'm sire the projected deficit of $9 trillion will have zero impact on the value of the dollar.
In addition, future deficits are currently projected to total $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.
Yeah sure, "these people" are talking about another stimulus, since the last one was a complete waste of taxpayer money.

I won't bother, because you think the president should own car companies, and control banks, insurance companies, and mandate that all Americans must buy health care insurance or pay fines to the IRS.

Signing a global warming treaty with the United Nations, allowing the UN to dictate US policy and take American taxpayer dollars to subsidize the dictatorships and government tyrannies across the globe. no where in the Constitution does it say the president or the congress has the authority to pay for and manage the welfare of other countries, some of which are not even American allies.
The reason countries like China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and many parts of Africa are called "developing nations" and why some of the people in those countries live in such dire circumstances, is because they have oppressive governments who treat their people as slaves, and workers of the state. Demanding that the free nations must subsidize despots and tyrants is abhorrent. Subsidizing slave states is not in the Constitution.

My loyalty is to this country, not to a political party. Why am I supposed to view your opinion as if it were fact, because some person with a user name on City-Data says so?

I government that thinks it has the power to mandate by law and threat of fines or imprisonment, that all citizens must purchase some government defined product or service? Yes, that is scary.
A government that wants to regulate the very air we exhale thru taxation and new legislation/law, and cede authority of the regulation to the United Nations? Yes, that too is scary.
0bama is desperately trying to use the financial "crisis" as a way to slip this country down the path of a tyrannical and oppressive government. 2010 and 2012 cannot come soon enough for me.
