The governement will not be running hospitals, doctors' offices, etc... Very little is going to change, except the behind the scenes stuff. FYI - we are not Canada. We are not adopting Canada's healthcare program. We are merely instituting a vialbe government provided option. But I guess Canada, Germany, France, England are all Socialist countries huh? ROFL! |

you can call me ignorant all day but it's true. the right to own a gun is in the constitution. no one pays for our guns but ourselves.

dude, its like 10,000 pages long. I doubt there are many people in the country that have read the whole bill. But those who have (not Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck) have disseminated the information through other intelligent people. You don't have to read the whole bill to understand the gist of it. 1. Right now, you and I pay inflated premiums and co-pays because the insurance companies have to make up for the losses they take on all the un-insured people who need healthcare, and generally end up going to Emergency rooms. God knows the CEO's are going to lose any of their money, so they raise your rates. 2. Because people are un-insured or under-insured, they don't get the proper preventative treatment throughout the course of their lives. This treatment includes everything from regular doctor visits, to mammograms, cancer screenings, etc... Then, once their medical issue cannot be ignored anymore, it costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix. Again, since these people don't have insurance, the money ultimately comes out of your pocket. 3. And this is a major part - There are no regulations or competition that act as a check and balance against the Insurance companies and Pharmaceutical companies. They have what people need, something we cannot grow in our own backyards, and thus they can charge whatever they want to, and we will have to pay it, or suffer the consequences. If you were actually researched on the subject like I am, you would know that over the last 30 years, the Big Pharma and Healthcare industries experienced astronomical growth, like nothing that has ever been seen before in Free market capitalism. This is because there is no competion, and these corporations have all formed conglomerates and cartels (look them up, because you don't know what they really mean). If the government provides an alternative source for these goods and services, it will bring all costs down and improve the quality of the care. When people have insurance, they won't put off the necessary care for their condition until it ends up costing 10x more... Over the course of 20 or so years, people will begin to get healthier, and we will not need to spend as much on healthcare costs... THUS, THE AMOUNT OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE. ^^this is an abbreviated version. PM me if you have any more questions.

You are becoming my favorite person to multi-quote! The hits just keep on coming.....

My parents didn't do any of that crap either, how does this make anyone lucky? You act like people are genetically coded to be crackheads. Like it's something they have no say in. Rich kids were set up for success by their parents and crack babies were set up by their parents. Choices, we all have them. Quote:

If everyone DOES look out for themselves, then nobody would have to look out for others. Big difference between helping your neighbor move furniture or helping someone change a tire versus me having money stolen from my family to give to those who don't work hard enough to get what they want. Quote:
You see, what a lot of people did in the last 30 years or so was they graduated high school or college, got jobs and immediately bought homes, cars, TVs. This isn't hard to do when you have two people with decent jobs. But now here come the kids. So now you have one person not working, plus the added expense of children but with only one person working. People don't feel that they should have to give up their quality of life, so they don't cut corners, they don't sell the house and move into a smaller one, they don't sell their cars and buy one car. What they do is they complain about their costs "well if medical bills weren't so high" or "if my variable rate interest loan didn't go up" and when you get enough people complaining about something, and they happen to be voters, politicians will pander to their wants. If people could learn to prioritize their spending, learn to cut costs where they can and maybe, just maybe, live within their means, none of this wouldn't be an issue. Houses, cars, health insurance, flat screen TVs, internet access, steak dinners.........none of these things are rights, they are things you work for. Don't want to work for them? Fine! But don't come looking to me to get them for you. Yeah, like work ethic and personal responsibility. Some more than others. I don't mind helping people out here and there. NO! You support yourself and your family, that is YOUR job, not mine. If a guy wants to stay single his whole life, work, not have kids and spend all his money on a nice house with nice stuff in it and cars, that is his choice. He shouldn't have to help support kids or families he didn't want and had no part in creating. Quote:

People are born, people get sick, people die. It's the facts of life. We can't, and shouldn't, save everyone. If you want to, by all means, donate your pay to these people. I will be over here worrying about providing and saving my family first before I worry about everyone else. |

Kind of amazing watch people who "believe in America" can't even follow its most basic belief. United we stand......yet everyday we divide ourselves further and further away from each other. Its gone from neighbors admiring each other to it's "me vs. everyone" mentality. There are people who are worried more about their taxes raised than the health of another human being. That's ****ed up. Money honestly at the end of the day is worthless. You can't take it with you when you die, and yes you can buy a whole lotta shiny **** with it. But at the end of the day does that make your life anymore valuable than someone elses? This issue is larger than healthcare and people refuse to see it. Everyone wants something but refuses to pay for. In my opinion before we can start debating these topics intelligently, we need to ask for accountability on the part of the people supplying the information. And this is beyond forum level, this is government level. If people don't see that this is exactly what they want pawns to do while sneaking bills past with outrageous expenditures on random ****, while people huff and puff about a topic that VIRTUALLY NO ONE IS CLEARLY EDUCATED ON. The stupid take this argument and turn it into a false-crusade. It's just ridiculous. /rant Last edited by GHost240SX; 08-19-2009 at 11:11 PM. |

2. The constitution is not written in stone. It can be changed. Thats what amendments and bills are for. 3. Stop assuming $&IT. That is seriously starting to piss me off. how the F do u know what I do? I've been searching for a new job for the last 6 months, eventhough its kindof hard to do when you are freaking swamped with your current job all day long. Have YOU tried looking for a job in this economy??? Guess what bro? Ain't much happening right now. FYI, I have a college degree and 5 years experience in the field. I am management at my company too. I guess you think you are better than me or work harder because you have full benefits? I work for a small company with 6 employees that could only get me a discounted rate on a policy. It was too expensive so I looked around and found a a cheaper one. Its stilll too much money to pay for something I barely ever use. Its ridiculous that I pay $1000+ per year.... when I never get sick or need care! Complete racket. |

Also didn’t say you were non-American, just stated what you made clear.. That you’re selfish. USPS is going broke mainly because of email. People use email cause its faster/free. Not because the Gov. ran it wrong. They're using tax dollars to give rebates to car buyers (tax payers themselves). It is boosting sales for Car companies that employ millions, its getting tax payers newer more reliable fuel efficient cars... HOW DARE OBAMA DO THIS? You’re the only one who has worked hard huh? You! Everyone for the bill must be lazy huh? Whether you admit it or not you def. have a republican state of mind.

A. No one is telling you that people are just going to stop working and expect others to provide for them. That's a lie that has been propagated via the opposition to welfare. B. If you don't pay for it now, you will pay for it later. The big bill for alot of America's stupid expeditures hasn't come yet. This recession is just the beginning. You are mad about healthcare, when you should really be mad about the government ****ing up and bailing out the WRONG parts of society. You want to know who you are completely supporting their family??? AIG, GEICO, Capital One, the american auto industry and etc. That is ALOT MORE MONEY than you can imagine being pumped into those. And guess what YOU'RE paying for THEIR HEALTHCARE TOO! Not even indirectly, but DIRECTLY. Also, while EVERYONE is seeking and most are getting bailouts. Where is the bailout for the collegiate American? The one who can't afford to go to college and needs loans, but can't get them simply because the banks aren't giving them. I ask you this is it more important to prop up failing companies that have HAD their chance to prove themselves, than it is to give a kid who WANTS a better life a chance? You're telling me that America's most valuable resource is its companies and not it's people. That's the real issue. Not healthcare.... It's whether America is about it's PEOPLE (as a ****ING WHOLE) or whether America is about it's Corporations. |

Also: If you wouldn't pay $2 additional per week now, in order to save $80 per month in healthcare costs in the future... then you are too stupid to live in this country and we should deport you to Greenland.
I support this bill for the millions of people in my country who are suffering and need my support... And I support this bill for ME -- because by doing so, it will eventually lead to lower costs for me. I have a working, functional brain and I don't take Fox News as the gospel... so I can comprehend that. |
