@frictionRx9 you don't even know the meaning of this word SOCIALISM, boy.

and YES, people ARE entitled to get healthcare!

i usually don't wish bad luck on people - but for you i'll make an exception: i truely hope that one of your loved ones gets sick and is denied healthcare by the oh-so-great privatized healthcare system in your precious America!

see how much you cry when you can't afford treatment.

ALL major nations have SOCIALIZED healthcare, that's a fact - and it's far better than yours.

@spaniardmale77 Bush actually stole the first election and went against a weak candidate the second time so that aint saying much. Most republicans aren't brainwashed by Fox, just about 3 million of them. BTW ratings don't mean shit, even people like me who can't stand Fox watch it just to see what crazy thing they will say next; it's like watching a train wreck.

GOP just don't get it, the more people in the pool the cheaper it is for everyone. Every single Republican voted yes on Ryan's plan to end Medicare.

I'm 19 and have recently had to rely on Medicaid for some unexpected medical costs. If I didn't have it, I would be on the street right now along with my family. I know there are other people in the same exact situation out there. It's a shame that politicians are so bought out by corporations that they'd be willing to make families homeless (thus hurting the overall economy) so that corporations can have more tax cuts and profits.

Why call Ryan "Boy Blunder" and photoshop him to look like Alfred E Newman? I agree 100% of what you are saying in this piece but when you do stuff like the "Boy Blunder" thing it makes what you are saying a joke. You are doing what Fox News does. I thought you didn't like when Fox News does those kind of things, but yet you do it yourself.

Even though Democrats dont do the perfect job, I dont understand how anyone can even consider of voting for, defend voting for or even directly vote for Republicans. Just doesn't make sense...

@cappercastro I feel really bad for Americans on this: its clearly a constant uphill struggle with completely moronic bastards who essentially feel that if you can pay for that preventative care and pancreas transplant, just go fuck yourself and let the rich have their temperature taken by Mr. Doctor. Tucked in by nursie. Little lollypop on the way out. Good healthy rich person.
