If we called it 'life care' instead of health care...
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 03:50 PM by libertypirate
One could easily make the argument that caring for life was a constitutional issue.

The only thing that will ever work is the foot in the ass approach. You have to bully the bullies, and when they are down you keep kicking.

How many Americans have to be on the chopping block before a national state of emergency can be called? Isn't is a natural disaster that the economy has devalued American people to the point where their health is of no value? Are not the insurance companies making the case that they can no longer serve the customers they once did?

That hundreds of thousands are to be killed by the uncontrollable force of human nature. Since accountability has failed to control the greed. Greed is a national emergency for those being sacrificed for the profiteers of life.

1. It depends on how you put it
But I'm not sure this is a winning argument. People need food to live and yet most Americans feel like people should work to earn their daily bread.

2. Yep, but we are talking hundreds of thousands of Americans will die

because a corporation so choose. You've wrongly excluded the millions of Americans the insurance companies have abandoned for profit.

These people won't die because they choose to be excluded by a system that devalued their existence.

It's not an argument, it is about that Americans will be killed to directly profit a few less than moral souls out of control.

6. I didn't think about that.
This is what I mean when I say keep kicking and don't let up.
