Health Care Debate

[BoulderDawg]

Just heard today there is some movement in getting the bill through congress.

Sen. Snow(GOP-Maine) has just agreed to vote for the bill in committee.

Hopefully we can get this though and all Americans can have health care.

The latest threats from the health care industry to triple prices if the bill went though are simply disgraceful. I guess they worried that the billions they make in profits will be reduced. Greed and shame.

Sure would love to have someone else pay for my knee surgery.

That would be your choice. You could either pay for out of your own pocket and maybe have some private practice rick folks doctor work on you or you could have the surgery in a public hospital with the government paying the entire bill.

Either way you would get the same quality of treatment.

In any case I admire Sen Burris who has said he will absolutely not vote for a bill without the public option.

Government paying the bill??

Same type of care??

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

No it's some other poor hard working fV<k paying for the bill.
And it will be the bargain basement doctor that will be performing my surgery cause the "goverment" will not pay out the patootie for it. And if something goes wrong, that bargain basement doctor will not be liable.

I know one person whose grandma is in Canada that had to come here for surgery because the "government" was taking too long to approve her surgery even though her pain was so bad she was bed ridden 50% of the time.

I have a cousin in the UK. Healthy as hell, yet she is paying for health care for all the lazy a$$e$ that "can't afford" healthcare. Which seems to be growing each year. Why bother doing anything meaning full to make money and get taxed like crazy when "the goverment will provide" A friend also in the UK who's family come here to the US to get surgery done cause the "government" option doctors are incompetent.

There's the reality of socialized health care you will never hear about. No thanks!!

Then what's the problem? Obama has already said people like you can keep their medical coverage and do whatever they like. So under his plan you're going to able to have your private white rich folks doctor.....good luck to you.

However the rest of us will now also be able to get medical care without having to make a choice between medical care or our kids eating for the next year.

So I should bust my a$$ so that I can be taxed like crazy and barely afford to provide for my own family so you can have health care. TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN CRAP!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF MY OWN FAMILIES BILLS. HOW BOUT THAT.

And that is why socialism is ALWAYS doomed to fail.

Excellent post.
