Actually under Obama’s plan the average American paying out $700 in hidden taxes (i.e. inflated health care costs) could find them selves only paying $400 to $500 less than they’re paying now.

There’s no freedom in free trade unless it’s fair. Ask American workers loosing their jobs as factories move to Mexico and manufacturing moves to China.

The “government health care” isn’t “government” at all. It’s through private insurers and Americans can opt into plans like those held by our elected officials. The only mandate is that all must be covered. If you’re an employer you have a choice; you can continue to insure employees in the plans you offer now…or you can choose not to insure employees but pay into the insurance system that will insure your employees…whichever will be cheapest for you. The mandate is to make sure that all Americans are covered because we’re tired of paying for LAZY bums who don’t have health insurance and don’t pay their bills and thereby drive our premiums higher and higher each year. No free rides anymore. Everyone pays into the system and everyone receives coverage.



I don’t think so. I think the people have tried the free market approach and more and more are loosing their insurance due to ever rising costs (wages don’t change to match cost of living anymore) while insurance companies make out like bandits. It’s like eating a restaurant and they charge your credit card to pay for nearly 30% of the other patrons. So you call the police (the government) and demand that everyone pays their own bills. No free rides. Time for everyone to pay into the system.



What does your Lortab prescription cost? Because nothing you mentioned is “communist”.

shorty, the only people here that think you have eaten my lunch are Chris Hall, Antipas and Grasshopper.


which reminds me of my favorite poem

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’m schizophrenic
And so am I
And so am I
