Hmm? Little question to the importance of your posting. It’s better to be late thinking of such matter then never I suppose.

The genie does not want to go back inside the bottle. It’s going to take a lot of time and constant pressure to ever get the cork back on that bottle to have the pure Republic many of you claim preference.

Medicare was viewed in much the same light as what you are calling “Obama Care” from the offset as well. It was going to break us, it simply would not work, quality care would suffer, etc.

I know of people that protested the loudest at the time sure use it now. In fact, they would be dead today without it. Perhaps they might be better off dead from living pasted their expiration date with all the strange things that can go wrong with the human body but I doubt if they would agree, even in their suffering.

I’m not advocating a single position but commenting on the way people behave and hold so tightly to life even though it’s turned into living hell.

I’ve got a father that is in his 4th year of fading slowly away. He’s in progressive care tonight,~ fight for his life. Tubes up his penis,in his arms, chest and nose. Some 45 days now, 10 of it in ICU. He’s tired and we are tired. Mother is by his side 8 to 10 hours a day and losing weight. We hoping to get him home to die or get better. Getting him healthy enough to be released is looking impossible as new things keep popping up. Ugly , mean nasty things. Hoping he can stand and make just three tiny steps before his release is beginning to looking out of the question at this point. If he makes it home, the work begins again for the family. I’ve watch older cousins go through this care process and seen the love and hardship.

For myself, I’m not going to hang on that tight to life. There is a point to where it’s simply not worth the effort.

“I’m going to show the devil a brand new dance, hold the doors wide open boys, I’m getting ready to go” ~ words to an old bluegrass tune that I hold fondly dear.

Yea, you’d like that . ~ I see no need for this branch of government if that’s the case.

Supreme Court Justice Thomas FAILED to report nearly a million dollars of his wife’s income from political firms. This is against the law and highly illegal.

If Justice Thomas will lie about his family income, what other honesty problems does he have? Working Americans can’t afford health insurance and the one making decisions can’t tell the truth about all the money pouring into his pockets! This is what is wrong with our political system – greed, lies and uncontrolled power!

Impeach Thomas or accept his lies and deceptions about who is giving him a million dollars. Who gives you $980,000?

It’s about time we gave both Obummer and his “Health Care” scheme the old heave-ho! Remember in November.

Stop Calling It Health Care! It Is Mandated Insurance!! It seems a bit too convenient that people were ready for this after years of solid no. And yes people were too demanding “Something”, not what they got but “Something.”
What we got is Govt mandated NOT Health Care but Health Care Insurance. This was really set up by the Insurance Companies. Evidently they have raped as many people as they can with the present system and now want the Government to Force people to buy Insurance. Those that can’t afford it will get it and Others will be Forced to pay for it. Who profits? Big Insurance. Who owns most hospital corporations? The same people that won Insurance companies. Getting it two ways isn’t enough. Now they want everyone to have Forced Insurance & get treatment in Their Hospitals AND Forced Insurance paid by taxes. Newt Gingrich proposed this long before Obama.
It’s not new. Insurance companies got Forced Auto Insurance now they want Forced Health Care Insurance. Next up? Forced Life insurance.
No wonder the biggest recipient of bail out money was not a bank but an Insurance company

Linking left-wing socialism with right-wing Nazism (fascism) is a common dis-information tactic used by the American right. Any student of political science knows the two are actually as far apart on the spectrum as you can get. Just because the Nazi’s used the word “socialist” in their name does not equate with socialism. The Nazis were right wing Fascist–corporatism in today’s language.

if every person voted in the usa we would not be in all this mess.they just sit at home and say nothing will matter if they vote. the whole population would make a difference. the elitests with their big money bribes to our reps, president and as we read our judges would not go. the whole vote of everyone would make big change. the way we are going this will go on forever. the vote is bigger than all money.

SC comments on anyone who voted for Obama is stupid and worse? Too ridiculous to even consider his comments from that point on.

Retroactive abortion, a nice synonym for state euthanasia!

Everything in Obamacare should be repealed there are things in it that are going to affect everybody except the people who wrote it and the idiots who passed it without reading it.They are getting FREE perks, FREE everything even when they are voted out and the EXpresidents donot need the secret service to protect them, they donot need any kind of pay, after all they are millionaires. What does obama do but threaten all the retires that there SS will not be paid to them,TAKE away all the extra money paid to countries that donot like the americans.You never hear aboutthe CONGRESS OR the President giving up their salary for sitting on there rear ends passing bills likke the obamacare to tax the country to death. and who is going to pay for this obamacare if there are no jobs and the labor unions force you to pay for their life style with your hard earned money that could pay for your food, health care, housing schooling and to put away for your kids college.

I would love the opportunity to re-post your comment on my Facebook page.

Just to make certain that I understand Obamacare: The government clerks that want to reduce spending, and SS and medicare payments are a huge expense, may now decide who may have medical care. This sounds like a kinder, gentler way to kill off portions of the populace that Stalin or Pol Pot used.

This is what happens when the Democrats keep a voucher system from letting the Public School System die a quick death. You keep getting morons graduating who vote for people like Obama. The Democratic Party relies on ignorance and feeds off of emotions. Having only private schools in America (of all types…Catholic, Jewish, Computer Science, Military Prep, Animal Husbandry, etc.)will ensure our youth can actually have critical thinking abilities to see through all the smoke and mirrors. Get involved and demand your Senators & Representatives authorize a school voucher system. Lets take the power, influence, and control away from the Democrats, the School Teachers (and their unions), and the Administrators. Let’s give it to the parents (and thus, their children), and business and industry, and to society in general.

Just a small point to relish…
If muzzlims moved here to get away from socialist policies, then – maybe – there’s a BRIGHT SIDE to our current campaigner-in-chief’s possible re-election.

They’ll GO BACK !

But, probably not…

The filthy muslims come here like cockroaches; they take whatever they can, use our modern technology, and give nothing back to our society. They don’t give a damn about democracy, they just want to rule over us. And they’re doing a good job of it. With a mainstream media that are nothing but whores, and all the lemmings with 15-second attention spans that follow the crap that the MSM puts out (e.g. today, michael jackson’s doped-up voice recording), they managed to get a filthy cockroach into the White House.

While I agree there needs to be reform to our healthcare I feel that the healthcare act was a pretty lame duck. First off there are laws hidden in there that have nothing to do with healthcare, like taking student loans out of the hands of private lenders and giving them to the government. Thanks to that proviso my already strained income because more strained because the fed raised my fixed interest rate of 4% to 6.25% and in addition doubled how much I had to pay a month. THanks to this plan our insurance company also doubled it’s rates which meant, despite my health issues I had to downgrade the level of insurance I had as the top grade I was paying for was now more than I could afford. I personally believe that a bill/ law should not contain anything in it that isn’t directly related to the name of the bill. I also believe that every single word and page should be read by every member in the process. Maybe they’d learn not to be so darned long winded if they all had to read it before voting on it. This whole we have to pass it to see what is in it is like saying, you have to pass your test before we let you see the questions. That’s very backward and very deceitful thinking.

They could easily have reformed healthcare by mandating that medical facilities could not charge more for an insured patient then an uninsured patient. Many places charge as much as 3 times the rate to the insurance companies to rake in the dough. They should also have created a way for individuals and small business to join a group pool, my company actually belongs to one of these, but they are rare. If you could join a group then your rates would naturally be lower. They should have also allowed Health Savings accounts regardless of the type of insurance you have that you can save money in to pay your medical bills. These are better then flexible Spending accounts because the money accumulates year after year and you don’t have to spend it by a certain date. You also generate interest. But you can only have these under these laws if you have a very high deductible and crappy insurance. This doesn’t make sense. You may have the best insurance, but you’ll still have costs and should be able to also save up in case of major illnesses/ accidents.

Another way they could eschew cost of healthcare would be to price cap medications and require that when a company puts out a new name brand medication they would also have to provide a cheaper generic version. Of course they won’t do that because their in bed with big pharma, but if they did more people could afford their healthcare.

You know most states also violate our freedom of choice by requiring car insurance if you own a car. That’s kind of the same thing. While it’s useful, isn’t this the same thing? The messed up thing there is that companies can drop you for using the service you paid for, and some companies may refuse to insure you for any number of reasons and force you to have no means of acquiring insurance. Insurance in and of itself it like government endorsed gambling. You bet you’ll have an accident, they bet you don’t. When you cash out many of them kick you out of their casino even though typically you have paid in far more then you get out.

I also feel if they are going to require it, whatever they are requiring it should come out of pre-tax dollars and we should only pay taxes on money we are not required by their laws to spend. There should be no taxes period on required services.

All correct except that this is NOT a Democracy, it is a Republic.

Aren’t we a republic and not a democracy? Thank you.

My answer is simple as a Libertarian, I believe that everyone has the right to refuse to buy things they don’t want to buy. I will also point out that no one can be legally forced to accept medical treatment against their wishes. This has been settled by court cases in the past regarding Christian Scientists and some other religions that prohibit blood transfusions. So the idea that everyone has to have health insurance violates people’s personal freedoms. You do have the right to refuse medical treatment. Nor does society have the right to provide medical treatment to those who can’t pay for it.
