Damn It – Just Let People Die!!!
Okay the Republicans want to repeal the health care reform. I say that doesn’t go far enough. We coddle to many people.
Let’s repeal medicaid, medicare, health care for veterans, health care for active duty military, health care for government workers, for members of the congress. Let’s allow businesses to eliminate health care plans they have for their employees.
Let’s be real about it. Let’s just eliminate everyone’s health care so that nobody that cannot afford it can no longer receive medical attention and only those that deserve it, the rich, can see a doctor, go to the hospital, receive medication.
Hear hear! I’m tired of all these whining little cry babies moaning about how their children are bleeding etc. etc.
Since when should I have to pay for these idiots? Same goes for police and fire… I say privatize them. I certainly don’t want to pay for it if my neighbor’s house catches on fire. Government…. phtttt! Who needs it?
Ok, let’s be real about it…There is not a Republican in existence who is opposed to everyone having access to health care. People are opposed to a plan that does little other than to turn over the industry to the government…Please do not suggest that the Republicans simply do not care if people live or die because of the opposition to the plan…No wonder people have such a misunderstanding of the issue. I just lost my job three weeks ago, and I still do not think the government should step in and help me with my situation. 85% on the nation had health care according to the government’s own numbers before the plan came into play. What possible logic is there to renovate the health care industry of an entire nation because 15% of its citizens do not have health care insurance? All Republicans know that we need a plan. Just because we do not just agree with everything Washington says or does should not be viewed as being evil. I am a Republican, but what you stated here does not represent me, and it does not represent most Republicans. You do not know what every Republican in the country believes and you are not qualified to make such a broad statement and present it as being true. I am opposed to this plan, period. It will not do what they say it will do, and even those who voted on it have to know that.
No where in my statement did I state that everything I said was a Republican idea. I clearly stated that the Republican agenda did not go far enough to eliminate the coddling we give these undeserving people.
Just this morning the wife and I touched this subject. I noticed the Repubs blaring the Dems over pre-existing conditions each saying their data was overblown. I just looked at my wife and said, do ANY of these fucking politicians really have any clue what the American people want? Look, the Obama healthcare overhaul as a whole, needs tweaking, even the Dems admit that. For me personally, I have issue with the government saying i HAVE to purchase healthcare or be fined. However, it doesn’t make the whole package in its entirety trash-able. Yes, some of those Repubs rode to power with Americans saying we didn’t like the deal. However, i think you’d be hard pressed to find a huge majority that would say the entire thing should be scrapped as they are trying for. Some things need to change. I have worked all my life for healthcare. Period! I have had two kidney transplants and numerous joints replaced. I would gladly, gladly purchase insurance on my ow. That, is laughable to anyone in the industry. it wont happen. No one will insure me. Now, thanks to Clinton and the little he did i am able to assure coverage through an employer where group policies cannot deny pre-existing conditions at all if you have maintained coverage and only for 6-12 months if you haven’t. So, yes, i work for healthcare..always have. I have taken jobs with less pay..but better benefits because of it. I know my very life depends on health insurance. I generally vote Repub, and I personally am furious with the idea of trashing the entire thing. I would like to see insurance companies regulated so that everyone can purchase it. if everyone COULD purchase and still didn’t..well, then I’d say get off your ass, work and get it. here lies the problem, most of with health issues don’t have that choice. We’re left uninsured. We can work all day and not be able to purchase it. THIS is the issue that should be covered and regulated. As I said to my mother’s horror (LOL) I do give Obama some props. SOMETHING, ANYTHING has to be done with healthcare! Even though i dont agree with his deal, he at least did SOMETHING. Damn, that’s worth a little respect from me.
Why the fuck do you write something you don’t believe in? What’s the point, are you just trying to sound big or just want to be contentious?
If by chance you do mean it, then I strongly suggest that the best thing for people like you is to practise voluntary euthanasia forthwith!!
It is my opinion that they should take what has been passed and sort it out. After all…Nancy Pelosi said, “We must pass this Bill to see what’s in it!” WTF?
You think the Bill is flawless? You don’t think it can be improved on? You don’t think that something should be done about CEO’s of Insurance Companies receiving $129,000,000 (million dolars) for just one years work…like Stephen Hemsley from United Health Care?
Do ALL Americans need health insurance? YES! Can they afford it? Many cannot! Why? Because of unreasonable and extreme salaries that the CEO’s are receiving.
Do we need a change in the health care system? Yer danged skippy. I supported a Public Option and stated as much on the Ed Shultz Show. While my opinion was not popular with fellow Republicans…I still maintain this opinion to this day. Unless we have a Public Option that can offer a cheaper alternative to compete with private insurance companies…the prices will just continue to climb for private insurance.
Like this. You can either get on the public option for $150 a month…or buy the private insurance plan for $850…which would be your choice? When private insurance companies start losing their members…they’ll lower the price of their health plans, and lower the salaries of their CEO’s.
What I’m saying is…Obama Care has too many major flaws in it and needs to be thrown out and done over again. Or at least major changes made to make it more friendly to employers and tax payers.
I find it difficult to believe anything like a large number of people have any idea what all is in the health bill, beyond the stuff they wanna fight about. I’d be surprised to learn most people are against a new way of doing business in health care, and it’s silly to suggest there is ANYTHING ‘all republicans’ or ‘all democrats’ want. That kind of black and white thinking is why so many are at each others throats about the things we’re SUPPOSED to be TALKING about.
But it does seem unlikely that a majority would be comfortable with a bill so massive it makes the tax code look like a comic book, and the fact is there is no way most of us are ever going to understand it as it stands. People have a right to know what they’re dealing with. If so many are opposed to it, it should be scrapped and redone. What is the big opposition to that? What are those who don’t want it redone afraid of losing? I don’t know- but I’m guessing it ain’t on page one.
It will be interesting to see if they send out invoices for the $250 checks that some seniors have already received under the bill as a means of assistance with the Medicare donut hole. Talk about angering your voter base.
As of now, they’re taking a “wait and see after the law is repealed” attitude regarding retro-billing seniors. Looks like Grandma’s going to have to go without air conditioning this summer. Is heat stroke a Death Panel?
