The majority of uninsured people fall into 2 categories: those who don't want to pay for insurance or ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Most people are working. please read the unemployment percentages. also please look at the number of people who, although working full time at a reputable job are getting paid less then they should and are not offered insurance at their job. I worked as an office manager at a medical office. it was the only job i could find after being gone 6 months when my father passed away to help my mother. they paid me $10.00 and hour and No health insurance. to get insurance on my own, the cheapest i could find was over $250 a month and really only covered major medical. I could not afford $250 a month on $10.00 an hour. i live very frugally. i do not waste my money. this is the story of most people. their employers do not offer insurance and they do not make enough money to buy it as an individual. Your Are Wrong.

TROLL; A "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

A classic CureZone troll is trying to make us believe that he is a genuine skeptic with no hidden agenda. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. A Troll will usually attempt to reuse the same words of its opponents in hopes of turning it against them.

Are you serious?

Do you think sending them to the federal government means you won't have to pay?

Just wait until your premiums for government run medical care is just another deduction straight out of your paycheck.

Then you can ask the government why they won't approve medical tests when you need it.

If you're over 50 kiss your ass goodbye if you really get sick. Health care dollars will be spent for the young not the old.

Will our elected officials who voted for this trillion dollar boondoggle have to get their health care from the same place as you and I?

I hope you said no.

Warren Buffett explains how he pays a tax rate less than his secretary. This is an example of how the Bush tax cuts put a larger Burdon on the Middle Class.
This is also a major factor in the increased national debt.
These need to expire.

http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2007/...

Is warren liberal because he admits the tax cuts benefited him and burdened the Middle Class.

Another factor that is major in contributing to the debt.

http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/study-...

And explains a failed Bush policy that added twice as much to the debt as Health Reform.

I asked a wise Cherokee man what was wrong with Defiant 1 Dan and mwc.. He told me a story of two wolves.

He said,“My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride superiority and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

I thought for a minute and asked what determines which wolf wins.

The old Cherokee simply replied ,“The one you feed and dan, Defiant 1 and mwc’s Evil wolfs eat buffet.

Some things the wolf wants to keep from you.

--- I wasnt implying agree with mandated insurance. I was responding to the FACT that MOST people without insurance are in fact working 40 or more hours a week at reputable jobs and their employer does not even offer insurance. this is to no fault of the employee. yet we, I, still have medical bills. Something needs to change. simply blaming those without insurance stating it is their own fault they do not have insurance is a blatant lie.

I do think the government shld have intervened, but by cutting out the insurance companies, except for major medical. regular office visits, checkups, anything other then major medical (when you enter the hospital for an overnight stay) has risen in price only because of the insurance companies and for no other reason. taking them out of the equation and letting local doctors offices be a competitive market like any other business in town would bring the price down. same with pharmaceuticals. NO MORE ADVERTISING BUDGETS SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR DRUGS. that is driving our price up and its down right WRONG. neither shld they be allowed to make 'MARKETING VISITS' to the doctors offices with gifts of bribery. this sort of behavior is wrong in many other sectors, why not this one. this is our health and our doctors should be making decisions based on what is best for the patient, not themselves.

I disagree.

Having insurance is an expense. If the employer doesn't offer it a responsible person contacts an insurance agency and pays for it. You have to budget for it like you do auto or homeowners insurance.

How many people without health insurance own a car? How many buy cigarettes?

I pay over $400 a month for health insurance. Can I afford it? Absolutely not! But I pay for it because I have medical expenses.

You have the same right I do. Buy insurance and don't expect my tax money to pay for your failure to act responsibly.

Do you have a clue how much money and time doctors put in to become doctors? Why shouldn't they be compensated for it?

Do you have any idea how much it costs to research and develop new drugs? Do you think pharmaceutical companies shouldn't be able to recoup their costs? Most doctors are too busy to read about new drugs and unless a representative comes to their office they don't know what is available.

You sound like the type of person who would bitch if you didn't get the latest drug. You also sound like the type of person who thinks someone else should pay for your medical care.

as an office manager of a medical office who makes $10 an hour i cannot afford to buy health insurance and keep a roof over my head. where i live it is illegal to be homesless and if i were homeless i would not be able to function properly at my job. i do not decide the high rents, high energy costs, etc...., i cannot possibly get my expenses any lower, i am not willing to be homeless in order to have health insurance. it is the only thing that can go. can you do math? add up average, or even the lowest rents, renting a room, not a house or apartment. electric, water, gas, I do not have a car payment. car insurance, food, phone, my landlord allows me free internet access but most people have that too, checking fees, there isnt enough money leftover to buy the insurance, which is my point. You do not read very well either. I did not say you or anyone should pay for my health bills. I said it should be affordable and that I did not agree with giving the insurance companies a cut which raises the price.

OBAMA IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER OUR LIVES AND OUR FREEDOM. Obamacare is just one of his take over tactics. Fast and Furious Gunrunning operation is another, This would have given him support to take our guns away and neutralize opposition to his dictatorship. Please Wake Up America.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Virgo

It's a rather low-key day with a few disappointments to cope with along the way. If you were looking forward to a social event, such as meeting up with friends, it may fail to live up to your expectations. It might even be delayed or postponed through no fault of your own. There could also be problems about how much something is going to cost, forcing you to scale down your plans to make them more affordable.
