More Government control and less money in your pocket.

That's what this health care bill is all about.

Thanks for speaking out, Dr. Mercola. The grab for government power in the last year has exceeded just about anything this nation has seen. This "health care" bill is just the latest and most egregious example. Even a real "single payer" system would be superior to this corporate-government monopoly that they're trying to foist on us. (A real free market would obviously be best!)

Large corporate interests? I wonder which political

party is entirely backed by insurance/ big pharma?

How about the ENTIRE republican party + 4 conservative Blue Dogs democrats. Lieberman? Ben Nelson? Which party gave Big Pharma the biggest taxpayer handout of the 21st century & got away with it? The republican medicare bill. All this crap about Govn't issued insurance cards & our liberties & socialism is conservative PR straight from Dick

Army's "grassroots" professionals.

On my website there are links and information to and on most all of the history of modern medicine; in error. When I realized all that, it really put the proverbial frosting on the cake of understanding of why it is all the way it is today. My website link is available in my video.

ok thx for discussion

You two are both arguing a macroscopic view of what a nation should do to treat the sick within their boarders. This Is mostly economics and partially epidemiologic. What Dr. Mercola is saying is that doing nothing is irresponsible to the sick and passing this bill is irresponsible to everbody who will take oxygen into their lungs from now on. You have the for-profit insurrance companies on one side and big Pharma on the other.

Thanks for explaining that. I didn't know what you ment by "socialism" and "fascism."

[suicidechickenshit]

I financially supported RP in his last bid for the GOP nomination. I like everything about him EXCEPT his position on HEALTH CARE. I believe Ron to be a compassionate man unlike most Republicans.

I'm curious if there is a country that models your ideal for what a health care system should look like. All industrialized countries have some form of socialized medicine. You have to move to the 2nd and 3rd world to find health care that allows poor people the LIBERTY to fall through the cracks.

re: comparison between countries, we've already covered this - it's irrelevant, no one is defending the current system which is a mix of socialism (medicare, medicaid, state programs) with fascism (licensing, IP, mandates, regulations, price controls).

[libertyplayground]

Libertarianism is non-aggression. If you support freedom, you support non aggression.
