dude that rocked !!

A modern world-class nation is a balance of socialist and capitalist systems. America will become better when it socializes some more of its services for citizens. Hell, you're already socialized for fire, police, and military - and even some major healthcare systems. Don't use socialist as some fearful word. Socialism is "by the people for the people" , and that's just as American as any soldier you all hire, pay, and send to fight/die. Socialist socialist socialist. USA is a blend. OK?

Oh blow it out your ass. America is changing (thankfully) and moving into the 21st century, dusting off the last 100 years of old ways. Sorry bub, the days of guns, religion, and chest-pounding are OVER. Today's youth will make their own America - a liberal secular intelligent America, world class, and respected by the globe. Obama is just the start. Wait until today's 5 year olds are in power. Plus the minorities will be the vast majority in a great "melting pot" (remember that?)

Obama could not run a snowball stand. Oh thats right, he was a community organizer instead. Obama has brought all this down upon himself. He is an anti-american socialist who wants to destroy america from the inside out. Face it, he blew it. His czar's, their leftist and communist positions. His cabinet who did not pay their taxes, and amateurs as department heads. His numbers are dropping faster than Ted Kennedy's trip to Hell.

Nothing shows how nutty the conservatives are more than their "to the death" attitude at the townhalls. Now a guy's finger is bitten off. It is because the debate is NOT about healthcare, as there isn't anything to debate against heathcare-for-all in a nation - something spectacular and honarable. The debate is sooky fearful cons seeing a nation slightly socialize via the leadership of an intelligent worldclass president (& they know it) that will go down in history like Ghandi if it passes.

There will be about the same amount of healthcare, and "stuff," in ObamaCare. It will just go to different people.

now, you get it...

Don't be fooled by their business terms and numbers. We are the boss of the system. We build new system tools for flexibility, fairness, and training. Technology exists and everybody can build a better system. Gov't is not us, we just want them to represent us for these major reform. We are the bosses who want a health care reform. We hate industry manipulation and professional bias.

[beancube2008]

The health insurance industry is sick. We don't need them to count our money and assets to set our health priority. The industry doesn't have good will on us, they want to divide us with our gov't policy. People should go on streets to show Obama what we want. If the monopoly industry can't handle it, we'll take it back and handle it ourselves. We can always train and hire new health professionals, not them, because they are just using our money from our good will.
