After you spend $1 trillion providing health insurance to 30 million deadbeats they will still be fat. So they will still have heart disease and other problems that will still cost money on top of the free heath insurance we have just given them. (11 hrs ago | post #249)

Abortion Fight Erupts in Health Care Debate

He also said go and sin no more. What Jesus did was save an adulterous woman from being stoned to death. But that doesn't mean he was saying that adultery is OK. (12 hrs ago | post #714)

Oh, and if you think WISHING the insurance companies will lower their rates will work, than you are an idiot. They doubled our rates in the last five years to cover all the diabetes, heart disease, lung cancer, hell ALL cancer costs of the uninsured and illegals, but mostly the obese. They will double again in the next 5 years. Will our income double as well? HELL NO!" Health problems associated with overweight are a problem. How will ObamaCare fix that problem? Concentration camps where the fat people are sent to starve and work it off? Another factor contributing to ever-rising costs is that the government does not reemburse doctors and hospitals the full cost of Medicare and Medicaid. What the hospitals lose from Medicare they make up by charging private insured patients more. And finally, as you point out, everyone with insurance has to pay more to cover the costs of healthcare for the uninsured. But ObamaCare will do nothing to fix that problem either.

OK. I see the situation differently than you do and I'm keeping the pressure on my elected representatives too. That's how it's supposed to work. (12 hrs ago | post #245)

A message to Sarah Palin

I like Sarah Palin, but that doesn't mean she should be the presidential candidate in 2012. Nor can I think of any reason why she shouldn't get the nomination. The primaries will give all the contenders a chance to market themselves side-by-side and I'm sure we'll find the best person for the job. (12 hrs ago | post #27)

Try to avoid political discussion

I think you don't understand the military culture very well. Homosexuals serve only at the pleasure of the congress, the commander in chief and the military leadership in the Pentagon. Homosexuals have no rights and no say in the matter. And they are being discharged every day for being openly gay. (12 hrs ago | post #137)

You left out the Ukraine peasants who Stalin starved into submission becasue they didn't want to leave their little plots of land and be herded onto his communist collectives. They also learned to "bend" as you say. These Democrat healthcare bills are just Obama and Pelosi's version of Soviet land reform. (12 hrs ago | post #1407)

Yet ObamaCare as libs envision it someday will be the ultimate merged company since they plan for single-payer to gobble up all the private insurance in America. We have competition in other markets. That's what the free enterprise system is all about. So what makes anyone think that health insurance will be different or less competitive than fast food, cell phones, or the airlines?

and it (reply) doesn't seem to offer any indication that you approve of 'gender equality pay', improved 'vet health care' (an issue where DoubleWar was famous for talking 'support the troops', then avoiding that at every turn (along with the lockstep Rep Congress)" I don't object to improved vet healthcare. The title sounds harmless enough. But not being familiar with the details of the bill I wouldn't assume that the contents of the bill bear any resemblence to what it sounds like. As for "gender equality pay" I'm a little more suspicious of that. I think everyone should be paid what they are worth. Sometimes women are worth more than a man doing the same job and sometimes they are worth less. This has all the makings of a feast for ambulance chasing liberal personal injury lawyers.

I guess you would say I just figure. Because I see no need for ObamaCare now. Allowing all private insurance companies to compete across state lines will introduce competition into the market. And Obama has already admitted that competition will lower prices to consumers. (13 hrs ago | post #1398)

Department of Justice: Says no discrimination investigation

I don't know that either. My point is that the race card is being printed in Ebonics before it was translated into Spanish. (14 hrs ago | post #204)

''Pray for Obama'' t-shirt not exactly prayer for Obama

The joke is on the libs. If you gave that shirt away to 50 Obama supporters as a "holiday " gift 49 of them would wear it proudly. (14 hrs ago | post #195)

Obama Job Approval Down to 49%

It's too soon to pick someone or reject anybody. During the next 2 years and the primaries all the hopefuls will have a chance to sell themselves and then we can decide. (15 hrs ago | post #364)

Department of Justice: Says no discrimination investigation

Rivero is just calling other officers racist because they are white." Like Obama and the crazy black professor from Harvard who cry racism when a white policeman is just doing his job. (15 hrs ago | post #201)
