		<description>I&#039;m trying to remember where all the money is going to come from to pay for this....

Oh, yeah...our children and grandchildren will pay for it! Nothing like saddling future generations with insupportable debt.  And in the mean time Obama can just keep printing more greenbacks...

Good Lord, what a fiasco.</description>

		<description>Actually, congress lives on this healthcare and thinks it should be for ever citizen.
If Republicans deny healthcare to the nation, just think of how unpopular you guys will be! Then there is a special elite interst group-the drug companies, the doctors, and HMO&#039;s; all corporate, all greedy.</description>

		<description>In order for our country to reach a pure profit status we need to have national healthcare. 
Insurance premiums continue to rise because more and more people drop out, and those that can no longer afford insurance are placed on an anchor for the system. This system is doomed to fail.
When GM settled contracts with the unions on a healthcare program it was feasible in the begining, but over time the cost increased 200% and made it completely unaffordable and caused part of their ruin.
Capitalism is being brought down by high overhead costs. And if you don&#039;t think everyone deserves healthcare, the healthcare industry will not survive.</description>

		<description>And just think, folks, members of Congress are probably reading threads like this to figure out what to do next...because they are pushing an industry-shattering, irreversible, decades-long tax burden through Congress and IT&#039;S AN EMERGENCY!!!!! It HAS to be done in 4 weeks or the whole world will fall apart.

Like the ballerina said, &quot;Never let a good crisis go to waste.&quot;  And they are gifted at creating crises. 

Basically, they just look at their next domestic/national target and say, &quot;Hey! That looks like a crisis to me! You?  Yup. I thought so! Let&#039;s go, boys! Today at 2. The Oval Office. Next Thursday at 9:00--Congress passes the bill.  Signing ceremony on Friday.&quot;

None of the details matter. They are destroying every segment of our economy.  The forest is burning, but you just go on trimming your little tree now. 

The foundational problem is not health care, or the auto industry, or the banking industry, or the housing industry, or the stimulus plan. These are the field where the game of &quot;How long will it take to destroy America?&quot; is being played. Nothing else.

If Col. obama fails in getting his &quot;health care&quot; plan through, he&#039;ll just use that failure as an argument for Stimulus 3. (Yes, I mean 3)</description>

		<description>&quot;I’d be happy to look.
Link?&quot;

So look.

The house plan is nothing more than another step on the path to a socialist America. More wealth re-distribution giving us lowest common denominator health care. The house plan in part talks about savings assuming changes in the spending habits of entrenched bureaucracies. That will never happen. Entrenched bureaucracies never give up money willingly. Force them to, and they&#039;ll just reduce their services throwing more people into the &#039;uninsured&#039; health care mix. Not even a zero sum game.

The house talks about taxing the favorite  boogie man of democrat fairy tales, the top 1 or 2% &#039;wealthy&#039; Americans to snatch the rest of the money. That will never happen. Those are the very people best able to work the tax system. The payment plan is a fantasy. The middle class will end up picking up the tab.

The majority realizes this using simple common sense. You seem unable to. Citing polls and studies saying that people want changes in the health car system is not the same as saying that they want the government directly involved.

You talk about your expertise in understanding the health care issues, but you are completely oblivious to the difference between acute and chronic care. Chronic care is the over riding concern driving people to want changes in the system. And chronic care is the where the other countries whose health care systems you love fail miserably.</description>

		<description>&quot;What concerns me about Wal-Mart’s endorsement of a plan that requires employers to provide “affordable” health insurance coverage is that it will do something that Wal-Mart would never directly admit to doing. It will drive their smaller, less efficient competitors out of business.  There are a lot of mom and pop operations — and some that are their own small, regional chain stores — that are struggling to stay afloat right now. This new requirement will cause at least some of them to throw in the towel.&quot;

You know how silly this statement sounds?. 
The new healthcare plan will make healthcare affordable for the employees of mom and pop stores. And NO, there isn&#039;t anything sinsister plan about wiping out the competition with national health insurance. 
Large corporations are ready to embrace this healthcare bill because they FEAR UNIONIZATION will make them go bankrupt. Greedy HMO&#039;s love 10-year health insurance contracts so they can raise them every year like a boa constrictor squeezing out businesses profits to their death..</description>
