      What's a polite word for someone who is just stupid? Rush. Funny, last night, Ron Weiden said that it would save 150,000 lives each year. It will cover 30 million more people. People who are denied care by their insurance companies are dying now. And maybe, the insurance companies won't be able to put profits against procedures without an explanation if wwe get reform.

        Well when people are being denied by the government to save costs, what then?

        Seriously people, why you think government is the answer when it has tried and failed in every other country is beyond me.

          Name a country that has moved from socialised medicine to a for profit private medical system.

        Don't worry about the 30 million people not covered, Rush just says they don't deserve and health care. You only get to live if you have money.

        A polite word? How about "Republican base"?

      Maybe he means that Insurance Company CEOs will be dying from embarrassment when they have to settle for a 10,000 square foot house instead of a mansion like Rush's.

      Now I know who this guy reminds me of.

      Its Tokyo Rose the infamous broadcaster of Japanese propaganda during WWII who tried to demoralize Allied troops.

      Ya know, where is the backlash from this idiot calling women "stupid" and "ignorant"? When we call Michelle Bachmann that Rushie gets his panties in a bunch!

      So let me get this right, people are going to die because they will finally get health coverage and can get the care that they need?

      I wonder what he thinks about the 45,000 people who die because they don't have health care? What about those millions of people who work full-time and still cannot afford health care? What about them? Are they lazy? How can he possibly not know about all the people who don't have health care either because it is so exspensive that they cannot afford it, or who have arbitrary conditions that disqualify them from being covered? How can anyone allow this to happen?
