      And what again is the republicans health care plan? Oh, I remember.

      1. Don't get sick.
      2. If you do get sick, die quickly.

        ....or, if you get sick, go to the doctor and have them treat your illness and then pay them for their services. This is a tough concept for most liberals(see post by Joe Cool). When you go to a store, any store, you pick out what you want and then you PAY FOR IT. A liberal will go to a car lot, sign the necessary documents to PAY for a $35,000.00 car and drive off the lot without batting an eyelash. If the same liberal goes to the hospital for a gall bladder removal, they'll hoot and howl about having to PAY FOR IT! "THIS SHOULD BE FREE, GOLLDANGIT"! This is the world of liberalism.

          Health care is not a commodity nor should it be a profit center. That's the first hurdle you have to get over and then maybe you will return to reality.

            Everybody in Puppie's rainbow neighborhood is happy and gay and dances all day. They greet with a grin all they meet, wave, and then bow and give a bouquet of nosegays.

            But one sunny day, while picking nosegays, Puppie bent down to pluck one last stem. A drunk Mr. Mole driving fast, lost control, and proceeded to run over him.

            Poor Puppie in pain, an ambulance came and took him to get vital care. Set his bones, fix his guts, bandage up all his cuts - "Can we get a nurse to brush his hair?"

            Only three weekends later, on the freight elevator, Puppie's wheeled downstairs homeward bound. "By the way" says Doc Crab, "almost forgot your tab", gave him his bill and said "See ya 'round".

            "65 THOUSAND BUCKS?!?" Puppie yelled "THIS IS... BAD!" as he pondered his future in debt. But the neighbors pitched in, and Puppie said with a grin "Conservative health care's THE BEST!!!"

            The moral, dear fog, is that like limpaugh's "dog", Puppie didn't need "healthcare for all". So when some day you find you're in a medical bind, just give Puppie's neighbors a call....

          Boy, that's some paranoid conspiracy theory you've got going there! You remind me of the rich drunk driver who killed my dad. He was so drunk he actually was able to walk away from the wreck. In the emergency room, he demanded service. When the doctor working to stabalize my dad told him to wait his turn, the guy said "who cares about that guy? He's gonna die anyways, and I'm way richer than he is."

          That's conservative healthcare in puppies world. Those who have money get it. Those who don't, too bad. Must be that reichwing christianity we hear so much about...

          Comparing paying for surgery to buying a car is an absolutely sub-moronic analogy, even coming from you.

          Here in the real world, paying for your.....oh let's say...heart surgery is quite bit different from paying for a new car, and here's how; you see, you don't actually know when your heart attack is going to come, so it is rather difficult to save up for your heart attack. Do you follow me?

          So healthcare must be paid for by some kind of insurance. The problem with private insurance however, is that when it comes to healthcare, however is that to the insurer, your care is their cost. So private insurers, in order to minimize the amount they pay out, are going to have massive beuracracies dedicated to the duel purposes of (1) weeding out patients with pre-existing conditions and (2) denying coverage to as many customers as possible. These beuracracies cost money, and that drives up the price of insurance. Do you understand yet? That's why healthcare is one of the many services that it would be insane to have the private sector administer.

          Now do you understand how idiotic it is to compare paying for healthcare to car purchases?

          Or maybe you think people should have to pay before they're admitted to the emergency room? Maybe ambulances should run by the bank on the way to the hospital so that a patient with a gun shot wound can swipe his credit card, hey? That's the only way your ananlogy would make a lick of sense.

            Your crybaby rant is the same old "what if I get hit by a steamroller and can't pay for the surgery" routine we hear from liberals trying to sell this pathetic 'healthcare' scheme. Catastrophic accident/illness can be addressed by the government if and when it happens but to saddle the next generation with a failed experiment in mmm mmm mmm Obama care is a HUGE mistake. And yes, you can save money for unexpected healthcare emergencies if you just had the fortitude. But you don't, you want Uncle Obama to pay for it, freeloader.

              Once again reality complicates the perfect little right wing world. If the government is going to cover catastrophic illnesses, then even assuming you don't give a damn about the people whom God decreed must live in poverty for their wickedness, it makes financial sense to pay for treatments which keep them from needing catastropic care, as catastrophic care tends to be quite a bit more expensive.

              And yes, you can save money for unexpected healthcare emergencies if you just had the fortitude.

              Even your leaders aren't that dumb. I'm assuming you had the fortitude to save for the $300,000 antibiotics you may potentially need one day?

              In case you missed it, a Harvard study was just released that found that 44,000 people every year DIE due to lack of health care. That's a 9/11 each and every month. And they can't complain or advocate for universal care because, you know, THEY'RE DEAD. Like the congressman from Florida said, it's an ongoing holocaust.

      Republicans are the party of life, but what kind of life?
      If you are poor, they don't care. If you are homeless, well it's your own choice. If you can't afford healthcare, they don't care if you lose your house, or go bankrupt. They even made it more difficult to go bankrupt (Personal bankruptcy, it is fine for businesses).

      Moral and religious minded people should (but don't) understand that forcing a terminally ill to live out a life in pain and agony is not respecting life. Most people feel abortion is acceptable in cases of rape and incest, so we should be able to let women decide for themselves in other cases. It is the likes of Rush and others who are denying us the freedom of choice in these matters and denying us the dignity of choice that true freedom allows us. They want freedom that is allowed under their own strict terms and freedom for themselves that is gained by by denying it to others.

          Liberals believe that people are inherently good and that corporations are greedy, uncaring entities.

          Conservatives believe that corporations are inherently good and that people are evil by nature and will act exactly like Conservatives do. Because Conservatives cannot comprehend acting with any motives other than greed and selfishness, they assume all other people act the same way, and must be controlled, unless they are wealthy, and can afford to grab all they can for themselves.

              Charitable contributions have nothing to do with labeling someone as greedy. Besides, its a well known fact that more rich people are Republicans and therefore will donate more to lower their tax burden.

          Point of a gun? I don't think so. Every tax increase, or decrease has been enacted by legislatures we have voted for (or most of us have voted for). I don't mind paying taxes as a social contract to do all the things conservatives love such as national defense and I have no problem paying extra taxes to help those less fortunate in ways that charities are unable to do, and, in case, due to some calamity I find myself and my family in need. Charities are wonderful, but they cannot keep up with the financial challenges of our current poor, jobless, and every person with a catastrophic illness. For this govenment has the structure and, yes, bureaucracy (not a bad word really) that can handle such immense social problems.

            I never said that there should be NO taxes. I am suggesting that government really has fewer responsibilities than it is currently undertaking. I also believe that people should not be forced to pay for government that they will not use (public school system). I do not approve of the idea that we should sacrifice ourselves before the altar of 'The Common Good.'

              And picking and choosing how our tax dollars will be used..How will that work? Checklist on your tax form?

              So you say you don't want to pay for public schools because you don't use them? You don't believe you have benefited from the graduates of our public schools? Of course, not all our public schools produce doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc., but would you rather have a class of uneducated, unemployable people who could not afford a private school?

            As opposed to selflessness? That word should disgust every one of you. The man who works for no pay is a slave. What is wrong with loving the idea of individualism. That is what made the United States of America so noble and unique. It was created to protect *Individual* Liberties.

            Call me selfish and I will accept it as a compliment. Shame me by defeating me in the debate.

      Finding MMTV has made my day a little sun shinier. I wish I could have every post automatically pink all my social networks. I get so tired of having to push the ping button.

      LIBERTY...!!!

      There's that buzz word again that gets the base fired up. FREEDOM...! LIBERTY...! Words that have become a cliche' under right wing usage. Too bad Limbaugh can't show video on radio of an eagle soaring among the clouds. What a bunch of simple-minded frauds...

      And it appears (judging by the comments he makes on his radio pukefest) that El Rushbo is obsessed with anal sex.....

                If you don't know of them you could find out. I think that was from the CD "All things Firesign". A collection of work done for PBS.

                    The group did some occasional work for PBS in the eighties and nineties. The number of PBS viewers has nothing to do with their visibility to you.
                    They are rightly respected in many places, including the Library of Congress. "The Beatles of comedy, an American Monty Python," though they predate The Python. There are a few other fireheads who post here as well. They have produced arround 20 recorded works since the mid sixties. They remain one of the great unknown comedy acts of america.
                    They are doing a multiday show in LA in the next month or so. Somehow though, I think they would not be your cup of tea.

      the Republicans did have a plan to allow insurance to be carried across state lines. And, they know that there are many who have the common sense to go to Target or Walgreens or wherever to use the discounted plans such as the discount drug plan provided by Walgreens.
      Anyone who seriously believes that the Republicans want death, or that they had no plan, or that people are dumb enough to not get care when needed or anything either party says oughta do some fact checks before forming their beliefs.

        So you're saying that HMO's in some states are cheaper than others? Going across state lines to get the same over-priced, under-covered health care will solve nothing.

        Fail.
