We take free hospital stays and cheap medical bills for granted over here. Its such a far fetch concept to me that a citizen has to pay to stay at a hospital, or to have an operation, or to have a baby. We have medial insurance for the extra medical perks, but the neccessities are taken care of for free.

f it passes and I mean if, it will be the end of the democratic party as we know it and all those that vote for it will have a target on their back in the fall elections. How obtuse these clowns are to be making comments like we do not care what the people want.

Good bye you idiots You have blown your one chance to govern

Mark Levin is closeminded.

And no dont try the old "your a hater", or "are you racist?" bit because it wont work. Just because a person disagrees with you or your values or ideas doesnt mean they hate you. if they do they have other issues, thats not just disagreeing with someone. These types of issues have a forum in our nation to go back and forth like yardage in a football skirmish. So it should be, how can you find checks and balances then? if it was all one way ALL the time then what? So dont pull a race card please

[halcyon180]

wow dude, if everyone was some autonomous robot maybe that would be the case, but you have millions of people with varying opinions, backgrounds and ethics and your trying to tell me that one voice will change everyone? Be realistic, there will be many people (that may be millions) that agree, but its ok if some people dont agree. Really its ok. If thats not something you can accept then I would like to ask you if you understand what a dictatorship is.

[halcyon180]

Um no your not dude. If you have to see a doc, you can see a doc, you will get sent a bill, however by law medical establishments are not allowed to pursue you for debt if you give like 10 bucks a month toward the bill. Really dude its actually the most mercy you will get when it comes to debts. When is the last time you saw some hospital put a lein on a house for a $600 medical bill, nope not buying it

[halcyon180]

Maybe it would be better put as an employer that gets sued by an employee for the mistakes that the employee makes, then the employee ends up telling the employer what to do. That seems more realistic because the Govt is supposed to be serving the best interest of the people. Im not crazy, i think our health care system needs work, but how is leveraging more debt and our economy against the plan make sense? Look we are way better off creating some different rules for insurance companies.

[halcyon180]

For the people that dont get it, here it is. This plan is like having an employer that takes every mistake from every employee out of your check. Then on top of it the other employees hate you cause you dont agree with this. After all this your company fires you because they dont deliver what they promise. But here is the part that pisses me off, the difference is I work for my employer but the people passing this stuff work for us.
