@pluto4847 Except that poor national health is the primary reason for US HC costs, and thus the reason so many can't afford care. All Obamacare does is spread liability rather than address the core issue of zero personal health accountability in this country. No biggie, I'll just follow the man's example and go out for a three cheeseburgers, two shakes, and a carton of Kools! Menthol baby!!!

Shadegg is the height of Republican intellectualism. Bring out a baby and let her talk for you. Shadegg, you are the dumbest piece of shit I've seen in a long while.

I don't know much about this debate but it just seems that we don't have a choice. Either we let people die in the streets which has never been the American way or we still pay for it in the ER which ends up as the uninsured primary care

[wudupnigga808]

republicans and democrats.... HAHA!! It's like Coke and Pepsi.... Either one you choose you're still drinking aspartame which is bad for you. Politics in the US is BS. more BS than the bible.

for the congressman who was holding the baby

Maggie would bitch slapped your ass for embarassing her in front of 10 million people, and for using her to advocate a ridiculous statement.

Attention those opposed to this bill. You'll kick and scream that you will pay slightly more taxes so everybody can be insured, but you are already paying for those who can't get ER treatment cos the State sometimes helps them from our money.

If there was a man with severe mental impairment who could not function, what do you expect him to do, go out and get a job? Do you think people like him deserve to die.

One day it might be you in the situation that you become ill so have a heart pleae

[pluto4847]

I'm sorry you greedy GOP tea baggers, but you are all selfish heathens.

You might not think so, but the public bails you out too.

You don't want to pay taxes than get the Fuck out! Leave! We don't want you here cos your unwilling to contribute in society.

Besides Obama said EVERYBODY HAS TO BE INSURED so it won't come out of your pockets, everybody will contribute except those who are so disabled they can't function. Don't turn ur backs on ur fellow man cos someday it might be you.

[pluto4847]

So OK GOP lets stop Government altogether because Government takes away all our freedoms. So if you want to drink and drive, have fun.

Lets end all public schools that only allow the rich greedy, bastard GOP rich stiiffs to send their kids to school.

You people have no compassion for the vulnerable in society. I always thought people with disabilities should come first cos its the polite thing to do.

When you ride a bus, the disabled always should be taken care of first,.

@alexselby97

Well I'd hate to see survive in a major disaster. Sometimes the needs of the people come before your own. There are a lot of people who still support this bill, and want a public option.

If there is ever a 3rd world war, heaven help you cos everybody would have to be rationed for their own good, but Tea Bagger right wing radicals would bitch that they're foods are rationed. I mean get real.

If you want to go private do it, but I'll take the public option thank you.

@alexselby97 Can you point to the page number where it says that? I've read the bill, it says none of those things.
