If some form of health care doesn't go through now, it'll give the insurance industry the excuse it needs to anally rape us in the near future. The good news is, once it happens, and it will, (look what the oil industry did when there was no opposition from the Bush government) the blame will fall squarely on the Republicans.

Get hurt on the job and become disabled and see how nice the government treats you. They dont give a fuck.
All respect man but you got to be shitting me. You must know vets from the last 50+ years who got fucked over for many years and through many administrations.
I dont trust the government and dont care what party is in power.

And the insurance companies do?
Again, there's better treatment from the insurance companies? Look, I'm not in favor of the government running health care anymore than you are. But the reality is that a public option would have forced the private insurance companies to rein in a bit. Unless there's direct competition, health insurance will continue to be the single most lucrative scam in this country. Th only other option is completely free health care. Take away that gravy train and Republicans will take to the streets with guns.
I don't either. But here's the deal. The Democrats don't profess values or integrity, family values, all that crap. The Republicans do. And they continually get caught with their pants down. I can respect a crook that tells me his going to steal my wallet.

Shit man you can pay the fucking bill with less hassle. you dont need government or an insurance company.
There just is no free lunch, you pay for a doctor. You pay no matter what, where people get the silly idea that the government is here to help is plain nuts.
I have my own plan now,,,, DONT DIE, when I do I guess im done.

But the catch there is that there's a lot of company's that don't give you the choice of whether or not you want health care. Take me for instance. As a retired member, I have health care from the military. But, I work for the state now. And even with my military health care, I'm forced by the state to carry coverage that they offer. So a good chunk of my paycheck goes to pay medical insurance that I don't need or want.

BTW, I'm not afraid of death. That's final. I'm afraid of a prolonged illness or injury. Because under our current health care system, something like that happens and you're fucked every way possible.
seconded, a quick death is a good death.

We don't have unregulated capitalism. We don't have anything approching it. The type of system we have is neo-corporatist fascism. It is NOT true capitalism.
Barack Obama
44th President of the USA
Regardless of the person who won the elections, Democracy won, and therefore I won.
To those who link these senate elections with me, I, Barack Hussein Obama reply : Populism will not get America out of the pit the previous administration put it into. I took a great responsibility bestowed upon me by the people, had to manage two irresponsible wars and one huge deficit caused by those who were in charge before I came, and I will be doing whatever it takes to fix the situation, even if that means losing some of my support, for the greater good of America.
God Bless You all.

I've been looking for you, good sir. I'm afraid you need a lesson from your elders regarding good stewardship of the economy, and the definition of Liberty itself. Do you honestly believe that economic and civil liberties can be separated?
You claim you support the rights of the downtrodden, yet you propose to take the very right of self sufficiency away from them. You talk about people having the "right to choose" however, the only choice you're interested in people having is the choice whether or not to exterminate their unborn child. Should a person have the right to choose how their tax money is spent? No. The average citizen can't be trusted. Should a parent get to choose where to send their child to school, and how they should be educated? Of course not. Parents have no right to decide that. The State should handle such important matters for them. Should a person have the right to choose to carry a weapon to defend life and limb from those who may harm them or their families? Under no circumstances! The citizenry MUST remain unarmed and dependant on the teat of the all powerful State!
I propose, my dear friend, that you take a hard look at your own ideas and how they compare to the ideals which allowed this Republic to become great. As it stands now, your disaterous policies will further the economic decline of the nation. I urge you to rethink your positions, and look toward the future. Leave behind the failed experiment of socialism. Work toward a smaller, more agile government with a vibrant economy, rather than the current system which has become bloated with largess and corruption.
Best Wishes,
Thomas Jefferson
