I hate to revive this (been away for a while), but WOW. Holy WOW. I take it you make over a hundred grand a year to make a bold statement like that

Let's strip away all the rhetoric and acknowledge that it comes down to this: under private health care, the wealthy get top-notch treatment while the poor are out in the street. It's that simple--and to Islandborn's critique of Europe, socialist countries like Denmark and Finland (which I HAVE been to, by the way) are good, healthy, humane societies where everyone gets treated whatever their level of income (Denmark's minimum wage is about the equivilent of 18 bucks an hour, by the way), so put aside the "my country, right or wrong" mentality and maybe consider other options. 'Have you ever been to those countries?'....yes, I live in one, and have been to many. The standard of living in the U.S. is among the lowest in the industrialized world, bub.

Republican Double Speak (what's new) Here we have a leader of the Republican party (#2) writing a $200 million dollar earmark into a bill 3 days after Republicans pledged to stop all earmarks. Typical. On a similar note, when are the Senate and Congressional Republicans going to give up the state-run health care benefits that they find so offensive (remarkably similar to Obamacare BTW)? They should opt in to the same system that everyone else uses, seeing as they are such strong advocates of the system... yeah right. Rating: 5
