No matter how you try and break it down Mortarsprayer, you are still a moron. You loose.

[moerasai]

This is great to see, what an experience that must have been for the people wearing yellow.

"And so the doctor asked him a few questions, not many, and then one of the questions he asked was... have you ever used any performance-enhancing drugs? And Lance said yes. And the doctor asked, what were they? And Lance said, growth hormone, cortisone, EPO, steroids and testosterone. "

Government guaranteed healthcare for all its citizens is as important as protection of the state and the individual. Free education for all children leads to greater prosperity for that nation. The same applies to health. In the UK we have had since 1946 a national health system providing healthcare from cradle to grave. Thus anyone can get free medical treatment/advice etc. regardless of wealth. The service isn't perfect, but all UK political parties and most Britons support the NHS

Socialized medicine is a crazy idea, Why raise the taxes on the richest portion of the American population 3% to give the entire country free healthcare. Sounds pretty crazy to me. These people earned their money, and earned so much of it that statistically if you took 3% to fund free healthcare it would cause no hardship to maintain their current style of living. Socialized medicine is stupid, everybody helping everybody and sharing what you don't need for a better world. Don't be silly.

People are dying from cancer at this moment, and all you can say is money is affecting you? Your friends, family and possibly your self could be at risk of catching this disease. What if you had a unknown cancer and the doctors were unable to treat it. And your health insurance wouldn't cover it because you missed a fine print. What would you rather have? Taxes that are going to NASA/Government etc. or to a cancer foundation. Where lives will be saved.

[lancefan26]

I hate you. plain and simple, I hate you.

[maxzhou1]

Hey don't be hating. Lance Armstrong is just like any other person, and he makes his mistakes as well.

[cooll6]

why are you so against socialized medicine? how can you put a bill on a life? don't you think everybody should have the same rights?

[chu03]

i dont agree with socialized medicine at all but dude.... Lance Armostrong i mean come on.

[AfterCancer]

Thank you Mortarsprayer.

You have said what I have thought for some time. Lance diminished his ability to help our cause when he started endorsing things that he doesn't fully understand. I wish he would get back to his roots.

What next? Will he come to California demanding we pay for cancer treatment for illegals? He has gotten way too broad in his quest.
