A right?? — which carries the penalty of a fine, or jail time? That’s a right??

“Every American has a right to healthcare.”

Every American... all 92%, according to this bill, has the right to buy it to avoid being fined/imprisoned.

Uh no. The Constitution does not say that health care is a right.

I saw a tiny bump for Obama on a TV show

But media polls - so set up and rigged -

The media campaigned for Obama

The media celebrated when Obama won

The media campaigned for Obamacare

The media celebrated when Obamacare won

- No wonder they are bitter and dying and fading away

Witness Cokie Roberts and her pathetic husband

Talking that “common good” BS - as all the silly Beltway millionaires do.....

These aren’t just ideas. It’s a warning. They’re already working on these.

I want to run the argument the other way: the right to health care exists, but is just like the right to keep and bear arms, it entails neither the right nor duty of the state to pick my neighbor’s pocket to provide me with the means of exercising my rights. Obamacare is an infringement of the natural right to health care, just as requiring enrollment in a government approved arms-bearing body (army, police, etc.) to bear arms is an infringement of the natural right.

Haven’t noticed anything on Drudge about a bump yet and I only watch Fox News so have missed the MSM raving about Obozo’s health care win so far, lol.

No real “right” exists that requires an involuntary burden on another person.

every American has a ‘right’ to PAY for healthcare

if what doodoo says were true... then every American also has a right to eat. therefore, food should be free to all Americans

So if I am standing in a room with a doctor, according to Dodd, I have the RIGHT to command that he service me with his skills. For free. It is my RIGHT.

And if I am standing in a room with a plumber, do I have no right to command that he fix my sink, for free? I only have the right to force someone to help me for free, if it’s my gall bladder, and not my showerhead??

Please elaborate, Senator Open Faced Sandwich.*

If someone has a right to a service, then someone has a duty to provide it, right? So: are doctors now your slaves, Chris? If I were a physician, I’d tell him: “Force me to treat you, you son of a bitch. Here’s the defibrillator. Good luck.”

Others had Junior tanking more

That’s a bit amazing if you think about it. Seems like all his followers would be dancing in the streets - or did they possibly start seeing a lot of the stuff we’ve been reading for months.....

Yes, I saw that many dems were not all that excited about it. Just the real dummies who think everything will be free.

I heard on audio clip of a hispanic:

“It’s Christmas! Obama will pay all my bills!”

(paraphrased and perhaps a bit off.....)
