cut Lugar's salary and health care

War is important than healthcare.

Translation : Killing people abroad and at home simultaneously.

No Health care reform kills millions of uninsured Americans.

We won't deny that there is currently a relatively small group of corporations wielding a disproportionate amount of influence on our govt, but this is a problem of campaign finance, and political access, not of "corporate personhood."

[whatIsrelevant]

Ben and Jerry's is a corporation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a corportion. Green Party USA, the Libertarian Party, the Teamsters Union, SEIU, MADD, SADD and GLADD are ALL corporations. Even AMERICA is a corporation: what part of "we the people" don't you get?

"Corporations" aren't the root of all problems, in fact the opposite is true: never doubt that a small, thoughtful group of individuals can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

The truth is insurance reform will mean MORE profits for insurance companies, because the pool of insureds will grow when we are required to obtain insurance.

The MAIN reason insurance companies are fighting the current reform proposal is because of the govt mandate requiring that insurers cover pre-existing conditions; this is the best way the govt has to force competition because otherwise, insurers would just dump the sickest people into the public system.

Any politician that comes out and says something this stupid needs to be voted out.

If you don't understand how improving the healthcare industry would ultimately help our economy then you're a fucking idiot.

what?

[DillonX]

Teddy Roosevelt, our last great Republican President, & Harry Truman pushed for health care proposals, but the insurance companies keep delaying so they can rape us some more.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Stop trying to give away someone else's labor and education to make yourself feel good about not being an actual contributor to the human race.

When GW asked for people to do charitable work it was laughed at by the media. But now that Chairnan Obama has asked for it, even NBC has taken up the cause. And you brainwashed slugs don't even miss a beat in condeming Bush while praising Obama. You just flip some switch in your mind. RESET! DIIIING!

Maybe you should stop trying to give away someone else's labor and education to make yourself feel good about not being an actual contributor to the human race.
