“In the last Congress, Bennett, a staunch conservative, delighted the more liberal Wyden by volunteering to become the lead co-sponsor of Wyden’s Healthy Americans Act.”
**** you Bennett.
Obama never tells people how he plans to pay for national health care. Why? Liberals won’t even ask him. Why? They only seem to think.....after the fact.
“The word ‘bipartisan’ means that some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” - George Carlin
What Republicans don’t seem to get and Democrats are sure happy about it because they can go on piling lie after lie to prove we need universal health care is this.
The difference between the US and countries with socialized medicine, is the difference between health care and health insurance.
We may have people who do not have access to health insurance but we do not have people that do not have access to health care. No one is turned away (except at Michelles hospital in Chicago) if they do not have health insurance.
Where in Britain, everyone has health insurance, but most Britians do not have access to health care and if they are lucky to be put at the head of the line because of necessary surgery, they might die from lack of care in the hospital or santization problems.
I have a few questions that need asked -
Should individuals be forced to buy and carry health insurance? Forced Insurance becomes a tax. If those that do not choose to have insurance become ill or have an accident, should tax payers be forced to help pay for it or should Hospitals be forced to fund it?
Should the poor and handicapped who are on welfare, be given better health care than those who are paying for it?
No deductable, 2.00 prescriptions, covers many things private insurance either doesn’t cover or charges 50% for.
Those who have life threatening illnesses such as MS and can’t work are one side of the coin, those who are on welfare are a different side of the coin.
If a study was done,that compared those who work and have health insurance but make less than 40000 a year and they compared the amount of money paid out by insurance companies to them against welfare recipients who make about 45000 a year when all the freebees are counted into the mix, I bet the payments are strikingly different.
You uppity peasants are just lucky the government gave you a tax break up to this point.
Pray they don't change the deal any more...
