For you knee-jerk anti-healthcare reform people out there consider this:
Who pays for the uninsured now?
Who pays for the bad debt the hospitals are carrying because of the uninsured?
Answer: The taxpayers.
The GOP has had DECADES to come up ith a better plan, and they've given us bupkis. They do nothing, wait for the Dems to do their dirty work, sit back and point their fingers and say, "wrong." Sorry, Charlie, the nation has waited long enough for you to get off your duffs and do something.
All of these people waving signs and screaming about government spending didn't utter a peep when it came to the 10 billion dollar a MONTH price tag for a war we had no business getting in to. None of them said a word when GWB cut taxes and forgot to cut spending. Turning a surplus into a deficit. Nobody ran to their Congreeman's office when GWB and Congress gave over a trillion dollars to banks who shot themselves in the foot selling below-prime mortgage backed securities.
It's just a bit too convenient.

Every sane American wants and needs health insurance even the crazy teabaggers..To say otherwise is a bold faced lie. If you don't want healthcare, don't buy it and pay the fine and when you get sick don't run to the ER and expect to get treated.
Actually, Republicans put forward several proposals in the last year or so. Democrats shot them down and in not so many words told them, "my way or the highway." For over a year now, Dems have had enough votes to pass whatever they wanted to pass, without a single Republican vote. Yet they passed this monstrosity, this late in the game.
Are you talking about that 4 page proposal that you couldn't quote if your life depended on it?? Seriously, what happened during the last 50 years? They DID NOTHING..NOT A TRY, NOTHING..Control of the White House and Congress from 2003-2007 and NOTHING..Don't blame DEMS..The republicans DONT want reform of any kind and never have.
Huh? I never said you weren't a real American. You apparently don't realize that I'm not the person you're hearing on talk radio. In fact, I've never even been in a radio studio!
Logical fallacy. Go look it up.
You want to pretend that tea party is not lead by glen beck and rest of the boys. The truth is no one from the tea party will ever answer that question they like you know what they feel the answer is but they want say it. Ill try one more time. According to the tea party who are the real Americans that need to take thier country back?

The accuracy of that statement is debatable, but regardless, your saying so doesn't change the fact that the federal government mandating that we purchase it is unconstitutional, which is what I said.
If you're going to reply to someone, you might want to try addressing the actual point made, instead of responding to something that they didn't say.

I realize that you're a totally lost cause, and that you think everybody involved in the movement is a racist, but I'll try to give you some insight into what we're about. Whether or not you choose to read the link below and release that false perception you have is up to you.
