In regards to those with pre-existing conditions? Yes that is the ONLY thing government and tax payer dollars should go to.. But not if it is herpes, or something like that.. The insurance companies could cover those with diseases like herpes, but just not medicines that pertain to herpes.. That would end all of this.. I swear, that man talking? Isn't an American, he has no clue of what America is and what it stands for.. Those like him? Have ruined this country..

Lasik surgery early on was nearly 5000 an eye.. Because it is an elective surgery, companies that provided the technology, doctors, hospitals and outpatient care centers had to find ways to compete which led it to compete price wise.. We now pay 500 an eye.. The problem IS GOVERNMENT.. NOT HEALTHCARE. Obama is an idiot.. He is ruining this country.. He will be out in 2012 and whoever gets in there better repeal every last bastion of this farce called Obamacare..

@redbaroniii Be my guess tell them to got to hell!

What motivation would Republican Tom Colburn who is a staunch conservative and physician have to lie about something like that? He gains nothing but maybe pissing of all his constituents for his next election lol!

You have a right to be concerned , but you're using a faulty argument that's easily debuncable! By having a weak individual mandate we will drive Insurance companies out of business leading to real SOCIALISM! SINGLE PAYER GET IT???

@luvitluvitbaby you are wrong, it you don't pay, and refuse to pay they will eventually JAIL you. Otherwise I am going to tell them to go to hell,,,, right that will work. Single payer is the real evil here. My brother in Canada says it is OK for a broken bone, or a few stitches, but if you are really sick you will die before you are even seen by a doctor. And Canada is the best socialist system right?

@redbaroniii you wrote "Obama care is the first time you can be jailed for not buying a product. Jail mind yopu."

Sorry but that's not true lol! Just ask conservative Tom Colburn!

Instead of you guys making things up try debating on merit! For example, the individual mandate is a paper tiger! If you don't buy insurance you pay a small tax penalty considerably less than the cost of a premium. This will drive private healthcare out of business and then youre left with SINGLE PAYER!

@luvitluvitbaby Well heck! Sorry to disappoint you but I am not a part of the tea party (love them though I do) and have no love of the Fed Reserve. The Fed just hids the red ink that our government has been using to fund dumb socialist programs. I do think you are a very intelligent, though misguided person. Really I am not kidding. Witting for you is to me a fun thing and may be important in time... Who knows?

[redbaroniii]

@luvitluvitbaby I did answer your question (see below) the trouble is that you think that "the same amount of force" is an anser. Obama care is the first time you can be jailed for not buying a product. Jail mind yopu. Do you support jail for some person that just wants to be free from Obama care?

@redbaroniii You wrote "We started to go wrong when FDR took over" a lot of Tea Party and John Birch Society faithful would disagree with you on that one.

Actually, they would argue that our grave mistake was the Establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1919 under President Woodrow Wilson. Which at the time was suppose to help stabilize markets and prevent girations in the markets (the preverbial boom bust) They awould argue it actually did the oppisite!

@redbaroniii You wrote "Speaking if "in your mind" " unlike you I will answer your question.

Answer: The amount of force they have always used in this country!

I'm hardly extreme left LOL since I'm pro-life and would consider voting for Ron Paul, but anyway since we're no longer going to engage in intelligent debate... by your own admission you equate me with communists becuause I have some liberal views, then I should equate you with Al-Qaeda because they are right-wing and you are too!

[redbaroniii]

@luvitluvitbaby Speaking if "in your mind" Tell me, how much force should the government use to take peoperty. legally held by one citizen, to give to another? Where is the limit? Jail, death, confiscation? You are from the extreme left so maybe you can tell me, why do you guys hate the rich so much? Ever speach Obama makes he is begging to get power to hurt the rich. After the rich are dead then who is next?
