You are not a truth seeker.  Farewell as you grow up.

Because that is "socialist". So they have to compromise over and over until they end up with a bill that no one is happy with.

Stupid, I know.

I've read Ayn Rand. She actually made me feel sick. Her philosophy is one of the reasons atheists get such a bad reputation.

While I won't argue that there has clearly been corruption in the government; a lot of it, in fact. I will argue that the government has also done a fair amount of trust-busting in its time, as well.

What do you mean by "past several decades"? Does that include all of the jobs produced by the government during the Great Depression? Or the founding of the Peace Corps? Or the Civil Rights Acts?

See, now why would you do that?

Andy adult would just admit that they made a mistake and laughed it off. I even laughed at it; it could have just been a typo. But instead, you insist that by the "constitution" you meant "the declaration of independence", or that the constitution talks about life, liberty, pursuit of happiness indirectly. That might be true, but the fact that you're trying to defend something so trivial that was clearly a mistake is really pretty childish.

The difference is that I AM the national government. I have a say in how the health care system is run. If churches run our entire health care system, then it would be very easy for control of health care to become religiously swayed. Churches don't have the best record of providing services without people converting.

You just answered my question by essentially saying,"It tramples on the consitution because it's unconstitutional." That's not an answer.

I'll ask again: How is providing a public option unconstitutional?

Oh, you're talking about the bill that's on the table right now. Yes, I'm against that.

Fine; $2900. Point is, even if we take the most conservative estimate of amount of uninsured (10 million), we would nor be able to insure everyone. The average cost of insurance is $3600 a year, according to what I've read.
