Obama sounds like a socialist to me. "Socialism: A political ideology based on strong support for economic and social equality. Socialists traditionally envisioned a society in which major businesses were taken over by the government". (American Government and politics today 15) He's taken over GM, and taken over the banks with our tax dollars. Now he wants to run health care....this guy sucks!


You didn't like him even before he became President. lol

Again this healthcare is not an infringement of anyones rights. It is not forced health insurance. It is an option that will be available.

It is not socialized healthcare since it will not be the only healthcare on the list.

If employers who cannot afford to carry insurance for their employees opt out of carrying health care at least the employees have this option.

Nothing is perfect, nothing. There will be bugs and issues to work out but the fact that we need it and it is doable should be enough for us to be supportive.



so can you give me a real reason yet why we need this that is based in fact and not emotion? Something that does not involve the phrase "we are the greatest nation in the world" maybe?

The honest answer is yes, this is socialized health insurance. That's what a health insurance run by the federal government is by definition.


I'd like to point out to you, again, that any additional tax is a violation of my liberties and rights. I will have to pay a tax on my health insurance which will take my hard-earned money and give it to some low-life that refuses to take care of themself. That is ********. We do not need the nanny state, expecially a half-assed nanny state where we pay for healthcare yet still allow them to act as they please, further increasing that cost.


Being the greatest na--- just joking...lol

It is not forced health care. Socialization means government forced programs. It means there is not other options available but national healthcare. This is not socialized healthcare by any definition.


So do you plan on giving me a reason why we need it? That was the actual intent of my post.

This is essentially socialist health insurance in the making. This is step one: foot into the marketplace. I have yet to find a page that recants page 16 and I'm up to 4xx or something.

But ignore that. Why do we need this?


There are millions of people without health insurance that is a very valid reason.


Approximately 47 million.

Low lifes? I know people that work their butts off and their jobs don't offer insurance. I know single moms working two jobs and they don't have insurance. I know somebody that works outside 12 and more hours a day and sometimes 6 days a week and he doesn't have health insurance. I know people out of jobs due to the recession and they don't have insurance. These people are NOT low lifes.:angry:

Lies to the left of me... Lies to the right

Here I am...

stuck in the middle.

I wonder if our congressional types realize what they have done to us with those lies.

I am tired of that also.

However, this increase of people making everything about money has only increased due to the destructive activities of the Government and the Federal reserve board.

I personally don't feel like Government is a reflection of the people anymore. With some small exceptions, Government has become a country club for those who support the Globalists, eugenicists and elitists.


The people in our society are the people that go into government.

The government is absolutely a reflection of those in our society. Good people, greedy people, wackos, and control freaks. Just like outside government. The increase in selfishness comes from people in our society, doesn't matter where they end up, whether it's in a corporation or government they still came from our society.

The biggest thing I see in these "town hall" meetings is concerned citizens asking questions about excatly what is in the health bill.

I know that most of our representatives in congress haven't read the bill. And when asked a question about it they don't have a specific answer for the people they represent. Wether or not the questions being ask are so called "disinformation", the representatives should have detailed answers for the people explaining to them why they don't have to worry about what they are asking because it isn't true about the info they are getting. And they should be able to quote to them from the bill why the "disinformation" isn't true.

All I've seen on the news is our representatives repeat the talking points on why we need healthcare reform. Never any specifics or answers to the peoples questions.

When our representatives can't give specific answers to our questions that is when we should be worried and question even more.

So then we are debating changeing a system that is working for the 7% it dosen't work for... at an outrageous price tag... instead of a small change here a little (tweek) there...

at a much smaller price tag. Kinda don't make any sense to me.

well you can count me in that 47 million. but I don't want it.. I'm young, relatively healthy.. and I'm not the only one.. if I get catastrophically sick, I'm not going to the government for help.. a church maybe or my general practioner to see if she'll work something out with me.. or there are many charitable org's out there that help people in need.

you can also count in that 47 million the 12-20 million people who are here illegally.. they do not carry insurance.. should this nation further encourage people from other nations to come here illegally so that we might educate and feed their children, and now we'll provide them health insurance gratis?

entitlement programs, and that's what this is - an entitlement more welfare, only serve to enslave those whom they entitle.. generational recidivism to food stamps and welfare is clearly demonstrated.. and your Grand Imperator undid all the welfare reform time limitations when he ram-rodded the "stimulus bill" through congress.. but it was neccessary to do that right?? or else unemployment **might** reach 8%.. we're now at 9.4% and analysts say that the real unemployment rate is closer to 16%..

Michael Moore was wrong about health insurance.



So were President Bush, Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), presidential candidates former Sen. John Edwards and Gov. Mike Huckabee and The Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, People magazine and Time magazine, as well as CNN, CBS and ABC.



Each of these people and media outlets incorrectly claimed the number of uninsured to be 40 to 50 million Americans. The actual total is open to debate. But there are millions of people who should be excluded from that tally, including: those who aren’t American citizens, people who can afford their own insurance, and people who already qualify for government coverage but haven’t signed up.



Government statistics also show 45 percent of those without insurance will have insurance again within four months after job transitions.



Accounting for all those factors, one prominent study places the total for the long-term uninsured as low as 8.2 million – a very different reality than the media and national health care advocates claim.

This post is not accurate either. Time limits on welfare was not changed only unemployment. Foodstamps and welfare stayed exactly the same.

I used to feel the way you do about healthcare and possible care if I got sick. Then in 2002 I was diagnosed with MS. Let me tell you the charities are no help. I lost everything within a few months, job, apartment, car, etc... I was homeless and dependent on 200 dollars a month in child support which luckily he was behind on or I would not have had that. I lived very very sick for years like this before I got approved for social security and I do get Medicare but it doesn't cover very much of my care. My medicine for my MS is 1000.00 dollars a month or more, shots, which Medicare does not cover so I had to apply to the NORDS to get my shots. I opted out of the shots and have been treating myself with natural rememdies since. I am taking a chance doing it this way but it is cheaper on me. I don't go to the doc alot because Medicare doesn't cover office visits. I pay for insurance to get the meds I do take. I do not get foodstamps, I do not get housing help.

The whole point here is you have no clue about the lack of care until you go through it.

So people are basically speaking out of their *** about something they know nothing about.

I'm young, relatively healthy.. and I'm not the only one.. if I get catastrophically sick, I'm not going to the government for help.. a church maybe or my general practioner to see if she'll work something out with me.. or there are many charitable org's out there that help people in need.

you can also count in that 47 million the 12-20 million people who are here illegally.. they do not carry insurance.. should this nation further encourage people from other nations to come here illegally so that we might educate and feed their children, and now we'll provide them health insurance gratis?

entitlement programs, and that's what this is - an entitlement more welfare, only serve to enslave those whom they entitle.. generational recidivism to food stamps and welfare is clearly demonstrated.. and your Grand Imperator undid all the welfare reform time limitations when he ram-rodded the "stimulus bill" through congress.. but it was neccessary to do that right?? or else unemployment **might** reach 8%.. we're now at 9.4% and analysts say that the real unemployment rate is closer to 16%..

hope and change.. enjoy.


This post is not accurate either. Time limits on welfare was not changed only unemployment. Foodstamps and welfare stayed exactly the same.

I used to feel the way you do about healthcare and possible care if I got sick. Then in 2002 I was diagnosed with MS. Let me tell you the charities are no help. I lost everything within a few months, job, apartment, car, etc... I was homeless and dependent on 200 dollars a month in child support which luckily he was behind on or I would not have had that. I lived very very sick for years like this before I got approved for social security and I do get Medicare but it doesn't cover very much of my care. My medicine for my MS is 1000.00 dollars a month or more, shots, which Medicare does not cover so I had to apply to the NORDS to get my shots. I opted out of the shots and have been treating myself with natural rememdies since. I am taking a chance doing it this way but it is cheaper on me. I don't go to the doc alot because Medicare doesn't cover office visits. I pay for insurance to get the meds I do take. I do not get foodstamps, I do not get housing help.

The whole point here is you have no clue about the lack of care until you go through it.

So people are basically speaking out of their *** about something they know nothing about.

I AM sorry bout you situation.

But those numbers posted above you appear quite accurate by my own personal research...

as I said lies to the left and right.

The worse part is...

People in all parts of the US are repeating, believing, and deciding based on those lies...

LEFT AND RIGHT.

and missing the big picture.


The big picture being that elderly and disabled are under insured at best. Then there are those that cannot get insurance at all due to circumstances.

The 47 mjillion does not include illegals, it is citizens. The amount of those citizens that would opt into insurance if they could has to be the majority.

The amount of care we provide to our citizens means a stronger work force, more people who will be able to start their own businesses without the burden of having to carry insurance if they cannot afford to.

Also this bill addressess the tweeks that are needed to the current system.

Our country can work within it's premise and make the universal healthcare work.

18% of population if you believe the 47 million number........????



If it is soooooo important to cover these people...

A plan should not be "rushed" through congress....it should be debated, discussed, analyzed, and scrutinized. This can not, and should not be done in one or two months. What is the hurry????
