Why must I see all Presidents the same? They were not. There is no similarity between JFK and GW or Obama. JFK actually served honorably in the US military. Clinton,GW & Obama clearly hate this country. Obama funneled billions to Unions through the GM bailout scam. JFK was assassinated for not going along, as Obama is. Bush too, he and his democrat friends in the house funneled billions through no bid contracts in Iraq, while liberals were going on & on about War for Oil...you're all so stupid

You people can give me thumbs down all you want, but I am absolutely correct.

No one has provided me info counter to those I presented.

You can't just say no sir...ya have to show me. And ya can't.

Most socialists only know about what they have been told.Never are you encouraged to seek info on your own...that's why "they" do what ever they can to get you into indoctrination centers (college).

Maybe,someday, you people will learn why the Fed drove up the costs of healthcare.

Where does this guarantee come from? Certainly not the Constitution. In fact, the argument can be made that the government overseeing this will only take away rights that actually ARE guaranteed.

[larrywalkerntbi]

Who is the most privileged then? In your opinion?

[larrywalkerntbi]

If you are going to call Obama scum, you must call almost every president before him the same. Along with most every politician. Have you read Zinn's book? I agree with your statement by the way, but don't make it partisan, EVERY politician seems to make it his primary goal to take away our freedom and our money and gain power for the few elite bit by bit.

You need to do some of your own research and go talk to thousands of Walmart workers as I have. Do they have the greatest job? No, but they are doing better than they would if there was no Wal Mart or god forbid were forced into a union. No one ever said the US was perfect, but apparently millions who risked their lives to come here think it is worth it .The only whiners are the lazy college kids who know nothing except what they hear from celebrities. Grow up and learn some truth

It is the federal government that has caused he rise of medical treatment, insurance companies work hand in hand with the Fed. Gays have all the right I do and them some, they are just not allowed to marry, too bad. Sodomites can move to Canada if they need to marry. Leave me out of it.

The US government has zero intention of providing anything for anyone,except more restrictions.There will be great suffering if this bill passes.Obama promised transparency and inclusion of everyone during this process. There has been neither.Because all Obama wants is to get any bill passed which puts mandates on the public.TheFed Gov has no ability to run anything efficiently.The destroyed the Education system,they wage illegal wars.Obama is indeed a communist say what you want you are wrong!

[fredriknorand]

Listen, dude, public health care is note a yoke around your neck, it's a guarantee.

I'm not here to convert you into a communist, if that's what you think. Health care and social rights are not communism, it's a safety net for those who need it.

[hamace]

Government provided healthcare does not indicate freedom, it demonstrates the governments control over the population. Our government over the last 19 years has manipulated the cost of everything to push people towards gov healthcare to create dependency which allows scum like Obama to gain control over their lives.
