Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT's Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.

Is there anywhere in this bill that says that 0bama will be doing these commercials now, too? ;-) I would not be shocked.

I would begin to look under the rocks for the worms. ie: Health Czar, Science Czar. Those two would be prime candidates for this in my opinion. All one has to do is look at who they are. what they believe, and what they have written.

But I don’t see enough people with the necessary courage to do the dirty deed.....it could never be organized and the FBI would shut it down in a heartbeat.

Bright side, this could stop the illegal aliens. They will return to Mexico for health care.

Right now the 20 year old son of a friend is all over my FaceBook page challenging me on the NoBama Healthcare Plan. I gave him 8 reasons that show it's wrong - he had "comebacks" for them all: My statements are in bold - his aren't

1. It will cost too much, a lot more than the projected costs offered by government bureaucratic flunkies.
Over 60% of bankruptcies are due to medical bills.

2. Health care will be rationed.
Rationed > none, which many people can't afford....

3. No incentives for doctors of all kinds to become doctors or to stay in the medical profession because salaries will be capped.<
Doctors actually care about helping people, not everyone is money hungry.

4. Enormous taxes for everybody in order to pay for universal health care.
Refer to point 1.

5. Patients will wait months and years for care. This will especially hurt the elderly the most. The elderly will die waiting for care.
This already happens, plus people will be welcome at all hospitals instead of those just approved by their health insurance.

6. No guarantee illegal aliens will not be recipients of health care that American taxpayers (you and me) will pay through the nose for.
For the better of mankind. Funny how you preach peace and humanity yet you feel it is alright to deny someone good health. I think you need to re-think your morals.

7. Government bureaucrats will determine who will receive care and who won't.
Won't everyone receive care, how is it that your worried that illegal aliens will get it but you won't?... 8. Health care will no longer be determined by doctors and their patients but be run by a nameless faceless government bureaucracy.
You act like medicare or medicaid doesn't have horrible issues as is.

If your so worried about the costs of such things, why don't we start taxing churches, that should bring in some $100 billion+
