		<description>If anyne on this board thinks the government can run any type of buisness,
then you must have been asleep the past 70 years.Look how well they have run SS,the post office,welfare,and just today the fdic says they will
probably need help.Even in its own bureaucratic workforce it takes two to three times as many people to do a job that any worker could do in half the time.</description>

		<description>So, am I understanding that there is no problem with health care, or that yall just don&#039;t like these plans? And do most of yall think that the gov&#039;t plan, medicare is horrible? Am not being a smart ass, honestly want to know. Glad to see that most of the discussion here did not center on the falsehoods being spread about the plan( death panel stuff). I sure do not know what the answer is..this plan has serious flaws, but I am not one who thinks nothing should be done. It is somewhat comical though, to see the insurance companies defended so much. Their goal is one thing only: their profits. Rationing( not called that, of course) exists in all insurance policies. Folks do lose everything because of getting sick..doesn&#039;t seem right. If you have been sick once, you often can&#039;t get insurance again or it is unaffordable. The unamerican stuff...guess I wouldn&#039;t call it that, but I think the hate filled talk from both sides does nothing to help either side. Some of the rhetoric is pretty despicable, and when we have nutjobs calling for the assassination( or abortion) of the President..things have gone too far.
Wish reasonable people from both sides could sit down and write a bill that would eliminate fears of both, but unfortunately, both sides are waay too beholden to their special interests. This hate stuff though....needs to stop.</description>

		<description>From #142.   &quot;Here’s what it boils down to, sir: we’ve been bamboozled by the American Idol crowd. The folks that just “love Obama” (no matter what) outnumber us-those of us who think before voting,- those of us who make informed decisions before voting.&quot;
======================
Actually Obama was elected by 31% of the electorate.  Those who were lazy and thought that their vote didn&#039;t matter are the ones we should thank.</description>

		<description>104. Paul of Alexandria: &lt;i&gt;&quot;From all of the reports that I have seen, the disorder at the “town hall” meetings is due to one of two factors: 

A) the deliberate disruption of the meeting by agents brought in by the Democrat party (usually via union auspices). Occasionally these are disguised as conservative voters. &quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Firstly, the union members only started showing up at town hall meetings &lt;i&gt;after&lt;/i&gt; the right wing agents of the health care lobby started their incoherent screaming campaign. Apparently the right wing is just indignant to be made to taste its its own medicine.

Secondly, nobody is buying your pathetic bull**** about the racist-sign-wielding, gun-carrying conservative nutcases being &quot;liberal plants&quot;. What a joke. Why would anyone other than a delusional right wing nut risk getting arrested and jailed by the Secret Service?  

This just speak volumes about the GOP and Conservative movement. They lack any capacity whatsoever to take any responsiblity for the violence they&#039;re helping to foment. Instead, they just blame everyone else for their own disgusting behavior.  

&quot;It&#039;s not us who are the problem, it&#039;s these liberals who are dressing up like us!&quot;

Really, how would a liberal &quot;disguise&quot; one&#039;s self as a conservative voter? Hit him/herself repeatedly in the head with a tackhammer until the phrase &quot;Keep your government hands off my Medicare&quot; starts to make sense?</description>

		<description>“I’m From the Government and I’m Here to Help.”

Dateline:  April 30th, 2016

Freddy the Fly on the Wall remembers this scene well and, amazingly, was able to type it all out.

Mrs. Jane Average, age 84, was sitting alone with her cat, Boots, in her darkened living room on a pretty spring day in April, 2016.  For the past few years, Jane had found that bright lights hurt her aged, weary eyes.  

The doorbell rang.  She slowly got to her aching feet and made her way toward the door and opened it to find her smiling, young, new physician, Dr. Leon Jones, on her doorstep.

“Hello, Jane!  How are you?”

She had never liked him ever since she had been forced into Obamacare after Metlife had raised her private insurance rates and thereby made government insurance mandatory.  

However, being a refined lady to the end, she feigned pleasantry and said, ”Dr. Jones!  This is a surprise!  I didn’t know you were making house calls now.”

“Well, Jane, my office left a number of messages on your machine but you never called back.  There are some things I have to talk to you about.”

“Well, Doctor, you know I usually can’t get to the phone on time and I find it difficult seeing the numbers so I don’t make many calls.  But, do come in.  I can’t imagine what’s so important that you had to come all the way over here, but come in!”

She tottered over to her favorite chair and gingerly sat down.  “Please sit.  Ever since my last, umm, problem, which you said wasn’t all that bad, I always seem tired.  Sit.”

“Jane, that’s really what I wanted to talk to you about.”

“Oh, so you think I really should have the surgery?”

“No, no, no.  I wouldn’t want to put you through all the pain and discomfort of another surgery.  In fact, just the opposite.”

“I’m confused, Doctor, why are you here?”

“Umm, Jane, well you do know about the provision in the 2009 Health Care Law . . .”

“I know, I know, you explained all that in the chat we had just last year.  I made my will and I have my living will and proxies and all those things you insisted I get.  You said we wouldn’t have to talk about all that stuff for another 5 years.”

“No, Jane, I was referring to the provision, they call it, I think it’s in section 1233, the part that deals with what they call “Advance Care Planning Consultation. &quot; . . .

		<description>This is what Adam Graham says:

&quot;What’s becoming apparent to the American public is that we have an imperious Congress full of big egos and little minds, greedy, near-sighted people who are drowning future generations in debt and have the gall to demand that people calm down.

To fix their image, Congress would have to lower its tolerance for corruption and in a purposeful way make itself worthy of the public’s respect. But it’s almost certainly too late for that now. What was seen as benign corruption is now properly viewed as a danger to the health, safety, and happiness of ordinary Americans. Democrats should brace for an electoral bloodbath a year from now.&quot;

Now you&#039;ve heard their side. 

This is what Laurie Thompson says.  

Since when does strong medicine taste good? 

Private health care is sick as a dog in that it&#039;s been unable to provide decent coverage for illegal aliens, which by conservative count, accounts for the bulk of people Democrats use when they quote statistics such as the 44 million in America being uninsured. 

Notice Obama doesn&#039;t say 44 million Americans.

If we didn&#039;t care about the health of illegal aliens, Obama says, we could keep our present health system in its private form with a tweak here and there. 

But, Obama says, (and this was even confirmed by &quot;Daily Kos&quot;) private health care must go. It&#039;s got to be done away with. Effectively killed so people don&#039;t keep clinging to it. 

In the end, the President has reiterated to his staff that simple but high taxes on everything from Coke and Pepsi to lipstick and computers to even elevator rides in high rise buildings, (only ten cents a floor) will more than pay for the cost of healthcare even if, as many expect, the final annual cost will likely actually be 9 times higher than projected. 

Michelle says it at dinners over and over when talking about the public, &quot;Like a parent&quot;, she&#039;ll explain, &quot;President Obama knows what&#039;s best for the masses. Americans who voice their disagreements at town meetings don&#039;t have their facts or their heads on straight.&quot;

Michelle isn&#039;t being snide. She&#039;s just being honest.</description>

		<description>I hate to belabor the point, but noone should yell at a town hall meeting.  It&#039;s a forum for civil discussion.  

I concede that it looks bad for a conservative to shout, while it&#039;s apparently okay for a liberal to scream.  But we must adhere to our standards!
