Canada managed to provide universal healthcare and 1 Canadian dollar = 1.022077 U.S. dollars. The governmental spending for the american military industrial complex is way out of control and that's a fact most don't want to face.

i find ur choice of the word "crusade" interesting. christians have a well documented history with crusades.

omg! trying to give health care to EVERYONE!! not just children...these man men must be stopped!

[ivankaman21]

I think uninsured children should get free health care from the goverment. I think the poor and elderyly who can't aford healthcare should get help from the goverment but should not get free healthcare

Oh, you mean the part that only exists in your imagination.

Aren't you late for a UFO abduction or something?

Instead of labeling everything so you can control and limit the debate, try listening to your interlocutors. It ain't about socialism versus conservatism (nebulous concepts at best), its about how we live with one another. Do we endorse a world in which self interest reigns supreme, or find ways to share the common wealth?

[UncleIrv]

elfyboy:

No, it's not "sidestepping" the frickin question.

Conservatism is not about ELIMINATING the government. It is about MINIMIZING the government to those tasks that it must legitimately do, rather than MAXIMIZING it into a nanny-state Big Mother.

And use your head: WHERE the money for roads comes from has nothing to do with WHO does the job. The work is contracted out to the private sector because the free market invariably results in greater efficiency than socialism.

How ignorant it is to say NO people die because they are uninsured. Hospitals are required to provide critical care, sure, but people who are ininsured do not always know when exactly an ailment becomes critical so they may get hospital care. Some uninsured will not get treatment until it is too late, i.e. critical, to do something about it.

Funny how someone who thinks Iraq was BETTER OFF under Sadaam calls someone else a fool. The ironies never cease.

[UncleIrv]

It's still dishonest to call it a cut.

Example: SCHIP was in effect for three years during the Clinton Administration---at a static level. According to your math, Bill Clinton "cut" SCHIP three years in a row. So much for the childish word games libs like to play...

You cry about inflation, but more money is wasted through misappropriation of funds to ADULTS in liberal states like New Jersey. If you care about kids, stop using SCHIP as a backdoor to incrementally socialize medicine.

Damn you're dumb. Saddam was contained and the only difference now between Bush and Saddam is that when your family died in Saddam-Iraq, you knew it was Saddam who did it. Now when your family dies in Iraq, you only know that it was Bush that created the hell that Iraq is now. Wow, you're a fool.

[UncleIrv]

Name ONE THING he said that isn't a fact.

You're just another moonbat shooting your mouth off when when you don't know WTF you're talking about.
