tough questions? It must be a challenge to be so uninformed.

The last time I checked, good health care is what we are supporting. It is the government-run (Medicare/Medicaid both approaching bankruptcy) brand of healthcare we oppose. It would be nice if everyone who wishes to have healthcare could have it. I just prefer not paying more only to see my healthcare end up worse.

I favor tort reform and portability of insurance from state to state. I would like to see some reform to help people still get some form of insurance if they have a pre-existing condition. I would as little federal government involvement in the healthcare industry as possible. Once there is a government option, without a profit-motive it would kill competition and drive up costs for everyone.

85% of Americans are happy with the healthcare they have.
I am tired of a 10% minority of people ruining everything.
10% ruined the housing market.

The 10% are the ones that need to get with the program….

latest, here it is in all its glory:

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

Mama needs a new pair of shoes. But not as much as this dumbaxe needs some new talking points. Trolling is just not what it used to be.

Violence, stupidity, brainwashed, ignorant, finger biting…….arrogant…

that liberals are really so personally corrupt that they cannot conceive of others taking policy positions based upon principle rather than payoffs?

such ignorance in this day and age of the internet.

Obviously, he learned all about economics, finance and general business practices from those two shows for intellectually “gifted” Liberals – Captain Planet and Duck Tales.

Who would be so cruel as to try to inflict a “reality dose” on him? Just get him a bigger box of play dough and increase his trank allowance.

Imagine what would happen if he suddenly gained the ability to read and understand basic economics, financial reports and business news. Of course, that won’t happen. as William F. Buckley remarked when someone suggested the God remove the “rose colored glasses” that Murray Kempton wore, “God would not be that unkind.”

I’m growing weary of the Left’s intentional obfuscation of the two terms. We must make the point clear that Health Care and Health Insurance are not the same thing! “Health Care” is readily available to anyone in this country. Hospital ER’s must treat everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. For minor ailments, we can see a Nurse Practitioner at the corner CVS for around $50. And I’d say that most ailments can be treated quite handily by a $4 generic ‘script WalMart. We have an abundance of “health care” options in this great country, and there’s darn few that go without. It might mean making a decision between having cable TV or seeing the doctor, but it’s available for anyone.

“Health Insurance” should be reserved for catastrophic illnesses-cancer, heart attack, stroke, et al, not the routine sinus infection.

I had a doctor friend, great saxophone player, now deceased. He told me in 1999 or 2000 that he could open a storefront practice and see sore throats all day for $10 each and make a nice living. He’d seen enough sore throats that he didn’t need tests to tell the difference between strep and a garden variety sore throat. But because of lawsuits, he couldn’t do that. He was forced to CYA and run test after test just in case the lawyers came knocking. And that’s finally what caused him to retire-the day he got another frivolous lawsuit, he called it quits and closed his practice. Tort reform must be a central part of any “health insurance reform.”

I see that the drone “normal guy 545″ is yet another example of the brainpower of the left. Anyone with half a brain can easily find this or something similar (written by Mike Allen from Politico, 8/13/09):

“A new coalition on Thursday launched $12 million in television ads to support President Barack Obama’s health reform plan, in the opening wave of a planned tens of millions of dollars this fall. The new group, funded largely by the pharmaceutical industry, is called Americans for Stable Quality Care…

PhRMA’s participation is key, because the group has promised to kick in as much as $150 million for advertising and grass-roots activity to help pass the president’s plan.”

We should take it easy on a_normal_guy545. I mean, it’s probably really tough for him, trying to make a valid point, when all he has to work with is the Daily Obamaton Talking Points Memo. Reading, listening, reasoning, understanding, finding facts, these tasks are all far too difficult for the average finger-biter… er… I mean leftist.
