Already did, thanks
Overall, Canadians are happier with their healthcare than Americans are. Check the facts.
To bad for you … you can blame the private insurance companies for NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES…. there denying care because of pre existing conditions… there raising costs to unsustainable levels… somehow your confusing socialist programs to TOTAL socialism… NOT THE CASE…. socialistic programs are already alive and running in the USA and they work …. stop making it a big issue because the free market will always remain with PRODUCTS…. but it doesn’t belong in health care period
Both bailing out greedy corporation and universal healthcare are SOCIALISTIC policies. I disagree with both and was equally as upset with Mr. Bush as I am displeased with Mr. Obama’s. I do not appreciate being taxed to supply for another citizen’s healthcare, unemployement, student loans or any other services. Government is supposed to protect each citizens right to liberty and property. Socialism forces you to give it away to others. If you think healthcare will be free….
Screw your idea of charity… charity is not helping American families and rising insurance costs… we cant keep the system the way it is because NOTHING will change… American families are being ***** by the private insurance companies…. to hear you cry about a little extra taxes is pathetic when the other option is leaving MILLIONS to suffer…. maybe you should apologize to the 44,000 Americans that die every year from lack of insurance coverage….
NO …. JUST HEALTH CARE….. were talking about taking care of the sick… NOT buying food … check your bible about looking out for your neighbor…. or maybe you think god created capitalism…. funny how you should mention taxes because last time I checked the American people just bailed out all the RICH companies … but yet when it comes to paying taxes to insure all Americans are covered SUDDENLY it’s SOCIALISM!!! wow…
Really? Do you also think food, a home and education are rights?? Where I was born people DO believe all these and more are human rights. Taxation is over 40% there. All these rights FORCE others to work for you. The problem with socialism is that at some point you run out of other people’s money. As far as helping the poor, charity has always existed… how did you think this country ran before ’social security’ existed? There where church hospitals and other non-religious organizations.
BAAHAAAHAHAHAH!! Looks like the ship is sinking now
Car insurance is different than health insurance…. once is a machine and one is a human life…. think about it…
There not coming here!!!! that’s all outrages BULLSHIT…. more Americans go to Canada!!! because they cant afford the outrages prices here…. get your facts straight….
Government healthcare, sounds like an oxymoron to me.
Public option is for idiots. Why are people from Canada and Germany coming HERE for healthcare? Waiting lists and poor care. Check the facts
What about all the MILLIONS of uninsured motorists?
Thats not true….. your so misinformed…. right now you will have a women in a booth in Thailand telling you NO hip replacement…. private insurance companies are GARBAGE and don’t belong in health care…. public option is the only solution to this massive problem ….
what is better, the us postal service or fedex?
he’s keeping his promises man… the promises he made to unions and ACORN are just the ones he’s keeping rather than to America.
his election night speech he said he wanted to hear from everyone. then he tells Republicans “because I won” and that he won’t listen. he attacks people dissenting against his plans. he’s a tool.
Powerful imagery. Articulately written. Thank you. May it never come to pass.
You will not here the dems breath a word of truth because power is the cure. They want to control the masses, Teddy Roosevelt first proposed national health insurance in 1912, FDR proposed it again in the 1930s. Harry Truman proposed it again in the 1940s. They’ve been waiting along time for this progressive power holy grail issue, healthcare is the way to pure Socialism, Reagan was warning of this as far back as the 60s.
Like I want government telling me what they will and will not take care of, possibly telling me I can’t have a hip replacement because in a couple of years, I’ll probably die of cancer.
Dlions….he didn’t estimate……he lied. so dont waste anymore oxygen
Obama received large donations from various healthcare businesses. (Don’t ask for me to state my source, I don’t have one.)
It’s all about the ***** *** money. For most everyone.
Don’t trust the government.
President is for sale.
He don’t give a **** about a *****.
Just an oil well.
It’s the same concept for Obama. We’re all just powerless humans. EVERYTHING we create is going to be defective.
Yes, Obama lied, that’s what politicians do. Some just do it better than others.
XD
do i need to explain the difference between an estimation and a lie
Baaahahahaha! This is the man who told us that if we didn’t pass the stimulus bill, we’d see 8% unemployment. We passed that number in the blink of an eye! This guy is really on top of our economy! A man who is on a runaway spending spree. Yeah Bill Mahr….go stand in line at the DMV if you want to see government at work. Better yet you pompas ***…you want to see the best example of government health care? Look at the “breakthrough” health care the VA hospitals provide! Jackass
Obama is such a joke! But the bad thing is he or his stupid plans for “change”, aren’t funny at all. They are oppressive and borderline on dictatorship. I am glad when I voted, I didn’t sell out just because
I wanted 2 C something different!
Calm down, Yodadog, I don’t think you want to be violent against anyone; I’m sure you’re just really fired up because you care about a cause. I’m being metaphorical here, using imagery of those who are very zealous but lack wisdom.
