Health Care Reform explained for Dummies

Thanks to those screaming, racist, teabagging, astroturfer, gop plants.

No, thanks to the lazy asses in Congress taking a month long vacation.

I actually think it's perfect timing for that. The debate needs to cool down a bit, people need some time to rethink & repackage proposals and ideas. Come back with some fresh stuff.

What they need to do is pass Ted Kennedy's Medicare for All bill from 2007. And since the Repukes will want to balance it out with something "anti-Kennedy" they can roll back the JFK tax cuts for the rich to pay for it.

Problem solved.

...the patients die, gind them up and sell the mush to pig farmers for feed.

you are not on CL, chan or twit. You can post a post of almost unlimited character length, it will be read and not fall off into oblivion within minutes.

In a reasonable time frame?



How long were you on hold? Did your call go through the first time or did you get a busy signal?



Any potholes, road closures, tore up streets, congestion due to bad design?



Is this the same water you pay for monthly on a bill and also pay for with your taxes? Is this the very water so many people complain about due to all of the additives included? Or that people in many states fight over who gets what allotment? Or that you are required to conserve during summer months. Are fined if you use over a certain allotment?

I live in Canada..with our "socialist" and "communist" healthcare.

EVERY TIME I have ever called the Police, they showed up...fucking fast.

EVERY TIME I have called for or witnessed a call for an ambulance...it showed up...fucking fast.

Water ALWAYS comes out of the faucet, etc. etc.

You ignorant motherfuckers decrying public healthcare or so fucking spaced out, it's astonishing. Really and truly. Democracy IS ABOUT a degree of socialism. What you are advocating IS NOT DEMOCRACY in any way...this moeny-means-all attitude.

Your fucking forefathers are turning in their fucking graves.......Democracy raped, twsited and polluted....moeny money money mothercukign money....yet you Americans have the HIGHEST OBESITY rates and heart disease rates in the World........Money apparently is more important to health to many in the USA....the evidence proves it.

A strange species, human beings. And the American sub-species even stranger.

[Blackflag]

Socialism has no more to do with democracy than obesity does....you confused jackass.

All you have to do is study up just a little to understand why people do not want the government running anything else.

Social Security = out of money
Post Office = out of money
Medicare = out of money
FDIC = out of money
etc.......

Hell, even Cash For Clunkers ran out of money less than two weeks into a 3 month program (scheduled...never made it full term). If they can't run something as simple as a vehicle rebate program, why would anyone want them running something as massive as health care.

"What they need to do is pass Ted Kennedy's Medicare for All bill from 2007."

Couldn't wait to drag his dead fat bloated carcass out of the casket could you FORD?

[bueno bob]

OK, I gotta admit...this is cute...

But I'll keep my own say about what my house is used for.

Any chance to provide meaningful health care legislation with this current bill has already gone by the wayside.

Once the single-payer option was virtually removed from all the proposed bills before it even had a chance to be debated, everything else amounted to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

All that has really been made clear by this latest snafu is that government as we know it (and that includes both sides of the aisle) just isn't up to handling the business of the people any more than the captains of the financial industries - these politicians are just out for themselves, much like the CEOs of the various companies that should have went belly-up yet got to stuff their pockets with taxpayer dollars instead.

There is no consequence for failure anymore regarding career politicians or heads of industry.

New of the weird~

Didn't think this needed its own thread and the guy that got his finger bite off seems a bit of a dummy...

Aligning against health care reform, while depending on government provided health care with Medicare.

LOS ANGELES – One man bit off part of another man's finger when a health care reform demonstration turned violent.

William Rice said doctors did not reattach the bitten-off part of his left pinky after he got in the middle of a Southern California rally Wednesday night that he said was "very scary."


...
Rice was treated at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center. The top joint of his pinky, including his whole fingernail, was severed, hospital spokeswoman Kris Carraway-Bowman said.

She said his treatment was covered by Medicare.:tongue0011:
....
"I didn't go out to demonstrate my beliefs, I happened to be driving by and I stopped to ask people what their purpose was," Rice, 65, said in a telephone interview Thursday. "I had no signs, I was not part of the demonstration."~Sure you didn't, buddy. You just parked your car over on the other side of the street and walked over to stand around
Watch the video he is in near tears from the stress of lying through his teeth near the end of the video.

I have been called to a number of altercations and never ever have I ever heard of a finger getting bit off by a punch in the mouth. I venture to say Rice stuck his fingers in the dudes mouth. Or just a really sloppy unlucky punch.

Anyway, Kids no hitting, biting, hair pulling or scratching.
