Can We Stop Fighting About Health Care, Wake Up

[THUNDER HANDS]

We're going to end up with something, IF, we end up with something, that will be weaker than BOTH Obama's and Clinton's plans.

It's going to go through the House and Senate first, and by the time it comes out, we won't even recognize it. People on both sides will hate it, but our leaders will praise and bestow greatness upon it because it "does something."

That's IF it happens at all. Which I doubt it will.

More than likely, we'll just end up with what the insurance companies wrote for us, minus a few nasty things to make it easier to swallow.


sorry to be a downer.

1. It seems that many posters think Hil will issue and edict/exec order to garnish wages.

:crazy:

2. Mandates and tax credits are worth fighting over

A card in the mail is universal health care. 25% of US drivers don't have auto insuarnce. Mandates are bullshit and people need to quit pretending they're going to provide universal health care because they aren't.

3. Good Call...But this time around I think it will be stronger program..

Simply because more people care about the issue.

4. The government need to mandate universal health care and pay for it.

Get the drug companies regulated again and the insurance companies out of the health care decision making business. Socialized medicine works in other parts of the world, why not here? Take the profit out of Health Care and we all will benefit.

5. True...

it's stupid to argue about it right now.

6. A LOT of people her want to argue about her "garnishment" or "tax" of their wages

and nothing is stupider than people who try to insert their talking point into our discussions.

7. Here's a valid issue: folks without health insurance are clogging Emergency Rooms.

Let's just forget all about the monetary issues involved for the moment, which are huge.

Focus on the clogged Emergency Rooms. Focus on the uninsured bringing in colds and the flu, bringing in other communicable diseases, bacteria, and parasites into the Emergency Rooms for treatment at the free pseudo-primary health care provider.

Obama's plan fails to fix this.

Hillary's does.

This should be of deep concern.

8. i love that code word-"garnishment."...

no wonder any plan has`t much of a chance to pass...

9. Its always all in how its *spun*. n/t

10. Good point. It's more likely than not we'll get nothing from either

candidate unless we have a supermajority in the House and Senate. If the numbers are similar to the ones we currently have, it'll be filibuster, filibuster, filibuster.
