An even bigger idiot would think that after everything weve seen the government screw up that federally mandated insurance is a good idea.
Put some limits on frvilous law suits so doctors, clinics and hospitals dont have to pay these “OUTRAGEOUS” insurance premiums.
Let the markets compete cross state. individual state consitutional matters can be resolved a lot easier, specially if you can pull off Louisiana purchases etc…

The only reason the left is si insistent on this is for shoring up future votes, period.
None of them give a ratsa$$ about anyones health.
Hell, the enviros would love to see us eating less meat and populating the earth less.
You guys are nuts, I hope, sadly enough, that this bill passes so the country can see all that much quicker what it is you morons are up to so we can end this fiasco that much sooner

yeah, in about a day and a half every freaking lawyer would be dipping into that sucker. Pooling resources for malpractice is going to come from one place only, except they’ll give it some PC bullsht label so it doesnt sound like the additional tax it will be.

precautionary investment” or some crap like that. Pelosis goodat coming up with these titles … “spending initiative”

When Hillary tried years ago to get socialized medicine, and failed,
this should have been a forewarning to subsequent administrations, most definitely this one, to stop playing games with the American people, we are too smart for these childish pranks.

I am a Blue Dog Democrat, but will vote Republican on the national
ticket. for two reasons. I am against government intrusion in our lives
except when absolutely necessary, and for a strong defense ( or offense ).

I therefore want my own Senators, Boxer and Feinstein out of office
as quickly as possible. Heaven forbid I would vote for Jerry Brown and
his Berkeley ideals.

Sometimes admittedly the California candidates (Republican) are
too extreme for me, especially in local elections.

The John Birch types have no place in current politics. I like
Meg Whitman. She, like Sarah Palin, should be the benchmarks
for Republican politics, on the feminine side.

I literally hate Reid and Pelosi..the two biggest gonifs around (crooks).

Sometimes I get into debates with friends and acquaintenece., mostly
liberals, certainly left of center. When asked what Obama has accomplished, they nod their heads, become unfortable, and have no
answers, none, -0-, zilch, or as Hitler says in Inglorious Bastards, nein, nein, nein.

Speaking of “Bastards”, I understand most of my fellow Israelites
have not nor will they see the movie. They just cannot fathom
Jews fighting, it’s against their religion. Against their religion, maybe
that’s why 6.5 went like sheep to their deaths? Maybe that’s why
they don’t understand Bush/Cheney, McCain and Giulini’s attitude about
Islamic Fascism.

They just don’t get it, Reid and Pelosi. Now they bottled up two
anti-Iranian measures designed to increase sanctions, claiming
Obama wants time to “negotiate” at the UN.

One of the most devious TV news reporters is Charlie Rose. I have
been listening to this guy for years. He is something. He has been against
our involvement in Iraq..saying it is the worst mistake ever in US foreign policy. He likes troops in Afghanistan however. That’s fine. He
has inviewed Ahmad and other leaders of Iran, as well as Assad of Syria.

Now, he sort of goes along with our Chief of Staff who he interviewed last night on PBS. His questions were loaded to support the 5 star general.
Wow, what a switch. the thinking now being that Iran is not going along
with Obama’s hopeful and wishful thinking about our enemies.

Charlie Rose once said, “The Israel’s are paranoid over Iran”.
Paranoid? Gee, maybe there is something to paranoa.
Last week Ahmad said that Israel is “an insult” to the world”..it’s young Palestinian resistors will bring it down. Paranoid?

So back to Reid and Pelosi, who have stymied both the House
and Senate’s proposals to increase sanctions.

This all applies to Obamacare., the worst and most stupid
effort by the Democratic liberals to (Tikkun Olam), repair the world, in this case the USA.

You know where Tikkun Olam got the Hebrews…………..20 minutes
of Zykon B gas., if they were lucky.

Bottom line, if people cannot afford medical care, or don’t want it,
there are charities. If there are millions of illegals and their children
who demand care..let them go back where they came from and get
medical attention.

But little Israel, now fighting aparthaid week in the USA, still
allows thousands of Arabs to receive free medical beneifits
in Israel once they cross over the border. All this while
the Palestinian Authority is burning Jewish products in barnfires.

Hmmmmmmmm burning Jewish products, smacks to me
of the “burning of the books” by the SS and SA circa
1930s.

So, you know what I think: Republicans and conservatives want to do NOTHING about healthcare in this country. They don’t care about millions of uninsured people. They don’t care that last year alone there were 114 MILLION visits to ERs because people have to use them like doctors offices. They don’t care about the overhead drag on our export economy. They don’t care about the unsustainable costs because that’s in the future and they are incapable of thinking about the future. All they care about is stopping the political “opposition.” That’s it. That’s all you, and Eric, and all the other partisans care about. It’s your ideology first - everything else second: family, friends, country… everything. It’s just a game to you. And all you care about is “winning.” Well, I got news for you guys. This isn’t a game. It’s real life. And if you keep screwing everything up, eventually Americans will come to hate you.

You need to get out more often. True, not all worship him like the messiah, and more and more of the left is becoming very unsatisfied with him, but to say “NONE” is absolutely ridiculous.

“Conservative will believe, trust and worship anyone or anything they’re instructed.”

This is just as ridiculous as the first comment of yours I quoted.

Its hard to continue a reasonable conversation with someone who categorically generalizes each of each party this way.

“most torts are state matters, or that this is an infringement of constutitional and states rights. The same goes for interstate insurance or coverage mandates.”

Well then lets have some more of these “louisiana purchase” deals or “corn husker ‘ applications drawn up.
The problem with frivilous law suits that have caused 3 of my doctors to leave the state because they cant afford the insurance is a problem that can be solved.
But the attorneys kissing Obamas a$$ dont want this happening.
Period

“our good host has the unmitigated audacity to say that regulation of the insurance industry is only a “small slice of the debate.” Amazing! It is at the heart of the problem, ”

It is a small part of the debate. The debate should be between the American people and the leftist who are trying to shove an over priced collectivist snare down our throats. This bill untimately is an entitlement designed to endure future democratic votes.
It will fail, pass or not

The president has ackowledged that republicans do have ideas at the table of healthcare reform. The trouble is that republicans insist on scraping everything and starting over again, which obviously translates to “do nothing,” what reform ideas they do have are not substantively fleshed-out, and the ideas do little to bend the healthcare cost-curve, which is at the core of the need for healthcare reform.

“Legal reform,” as our good hosts slyly puts it, is in fact limiting rewards from lawsuits, or even limiting suits altogether. Our good host, like all republicans, has never acknowledged that most torts are state matters, or that this is an infringement of constutitional and states rights. The same goes for interstate insurance or coverage mandates.

Then, ironically after offering tiny bandaids like tort reform, our good host has the unmitigated audacity to say that regulation of the insurance industry is only a “small slice of the debate.” Amazing! It is at the heart of the problem, it encompasses almost all the other aspects of the debate, and it’s the main cause for opposition! I think our good host is belittling the subject because he knows that it is in fact the heart of the debate and that the republicans are solidly on the side of the insurance industry against Americans.

Then our good hosts blames the Democrats entirely for the stalling of the debate, even though he knows full well that the Senate GOP has made furtherance virtually impossible.

Then he says Mitch McConnell “as usual” makes sense, which is like saying Donald Trump “as usual” is not obnoxious.

This is the real problem, and this is why so many Americans have turned against healthcare reform: There is too much DISHONEST debate.
