i think the health care issue. is about the poor in America. sounds like to me the republican party. don't care about the poor. that's why the poor never vote republican.

Yep...
those who "can"..
we DO..
those whom "cannot, will not, have not"...
whine and expect the government to give, tell,
and baby them for their lack of ambition..
I pay MY OWN way...
Need NO one to tell/give me anything..
If I'm paying for it..
I can get it as I want it..
Like going into a resturant and
them telling YOU what you will eat,
how it will be cooked, and how much you can have..
Yeah... that's something I want...

You are correct Gary. We now have one in office that thinks he is God.

I'm hardly poor, yet $800 or more a month just for health insurance premiums is too big a chunk of my monthly income... I could be buying a 2nd house for that much a month! $200 or so a month I could and would pay gladly... but that's not where health insurance premiums are at these days and they're only going higher.
So I haven't had health insurance now in 4 or 5 years. What am I supposed to do, just die if I get sick?
My mother is just barely managing to make a $1200 a month health insurance premium now (5 years ago it was only around $600), and if it keeps going up (and that's what it's doing!) what then?
You don't have to be poor to be unable to afford health insurance or health care in this country, and there'in lies the problem.
I'm paying more and higher taxes than ever before this year, yet what do I get for that money? Hundreds of Billions in foreign aid given to other countries? Oh that's just Prime!
You who are so angry at the thought of Americans being given anything, why is it ok to give Billions to Pakistan and India and Israel, 100's of Millions to The Palestinians, but not insure there is affordable accessible health care for every American citizen? I think you guys have your priorities all messed up!
Why do we give so very much money to countries that can afford active nuclear weapons programs, yet I'm told we can't afford health care reform? Come'on, explain this to me I'm all ears!

And Nixon was a Republican.
Every President of the United States of America was a politician, unfortunately. It comes with the office.

Well, I really don't see how universal healthcare can measure up to the benefits of bombing hundreds of thousands of individuals into oblivion.

see,here in CA,I can go to whoever I want to,as long as they are accepting new patients.I`m lucky,I don`t see the doctor often tho,I`m pretty healthy(maybe once every 5 yrs or more).My gover. doesn`t tell me what I need,my doctor does.I have a drug plan at work,so any perscripts my family needs are likely covered & it doesn`t cost much($52 per month).
What do you mean by `the damn government telling us what we need...`

The Republicans. HELLO the correct word to use there is POLITICIANS. It doesn't matter what party they are affiliated with. Politicians are all crooked. I am surprised that it isn't written in the dictionary.
Thief : Noun :Politician
Liar : Noun :Politician ect.
