AP Poll: Americans Conflicted About Health Care

[obamaisfromkenya]

Single payer all the way. Kill the private insurance any day!

[LesediLoFi]

There should be a new law: congress cannot pass a law they don't have to live out. Example: illegal to pass a new healthcare plan unless they have to use it too. Instant fix to america.

[jblcva]

Anybody who thinks the govt run health care

will improve the quality and bring costs down.

is sadly mistaken..Obama doesn't want to fix the system, he wants to dismantle the

private sector piece by piece.

[jblcva]

How do you cover, from 10 to 40 million

more people with health care and bring

the price tag down? People will be vacationing in Costa Rica for medical procedures. Many good doctors will leave the practice. Dumb Americans.

The politicians pushing this travesty

through are an insult to any intelligent

person. Take care of the uninsured.

Don't scrap the system for a government

take over...

The Democrats want to convert a #1 health care system into a third rate system. If their system is so good for America, why don't they sign up for it? You know they will still have their privileged health care system why the peasants get the third rate one.

[GeneralFrenzy]

Health care for a family of 4 is about $1500.00 a month or the cost of a mortgage. That's $18,000. Ad car insurance for two cars $1200. House insurance at another $1000. And we're mandated to pay $20,000 a year to be "safe."

When will our elected officials do what they are supposed to do. I'm pretty sure the constitution starts with "we the people," not "we the corporation."

Do your job senators and legislators. Do your job.

[oilhammer04]

Democrats won't deal with tort reform, so they aren't going to fix health care. They see health care as just another opportunity to raise taxes and punish the productive.

[elspoko]

Do you even know what tort reform is? Are you just reciting the things you hear on the radio?

If you had pay just a little more attention, you would realize that every state will vote if they want to opt in or not. That will be the test of the bill.

[oilhammer04]

I read National Review, and other conservative publications, to keep up with what is *really* going on rather than rely on the Leftist media that dominates much of the broadcast news. The Leftists are good at reporting in a way to help the listener come to the conclusions that fit the Leftists world view. I know what they are doing, so I don't pay them much mind.

[elspoko]

So I was right in saying you recite without knowledge. Glad to see my summations of drones are so easily seen.

Kind of hypocritical to see you bashing one set of liars for the sake of another set of liars. Conservatives and liberals. So silly. Same shit from a different asshole I guess.

[oilhammer04]

So all your thoughts are original to you and you have no outside input?

[elspoko]

Ah see, now you get to understand your problem.

I get my news from various media outlets, including some internet sites, newspapers, and some news about what's happening overseas by associates who currently work in McDill.

What I do not get from them is my opinion. I do not regurgitate their words verbatim. I do not pit myself against a whole group of people because some corporate shill told me to do so.

That is the biggest difference between me, and you radicals.

[oilhammer04]

You presume too much.

[jefevonQ]

"....punish the productive. "

Please explain what you mean with this statement.

[oilhammer04]

Like Obama said when he was campaigning, that it is unfair for the rich to have so much money (why doesn't he give his away?). Most millionaires are first generation millionaires who worked for their money. They are the productive that the Left likes to punish with onerous taxation.

[jefevonQ]

Thank you. I was basically checking on the context due to the attitude from some that 'blue-collar' people aren't productive. I've already seen it.

Warren Buffett had something to say about taxation. It has to do with the ratio of you societal benefit vs investment.

[oilhammer04]

Guys like Warren Buffett can always pay more into the government than they owe. Do they do that? If they really believe that their taxes should be higher, then what's stopping them from raising taxes on themselves to prove they believe what they preach. Remember the old saying: "You can't teach what you don't know, and you can't lead where you won't go."

[jefevonQ]

We all know that that will never happen. People in general do only the bare minimum when their told that they have to do something. He understands this. That's why we have the IRS. If we waited for our government to be funded by donors, it would get nowhere. Guess what sort of infrastructure we'd have then?! *Roadways that are paid for by tax dollars are built by contractors who consistently cheat on process and materials. Those business owners don't have much oversight. Wasted tax dollars.

[oilhammer04]

Speaking of Pelosi's health-care bill: " . . . this 'comprehensive reform' has two major features: First, it transforms insurance into a product that few rational people would buy. Second, it forces them to buy it." National Review

[betsall]

they are conflicted only cause they r selfish fuckin cunts...dont want care to be gotten by the poor thinkin their care will b a little worse.
