I didnt know liberals really think?? I thought they yelled and screamed and just acted out!! You know the mantra "No blood for oil", "Halliburton" "Al Gore is the prophet of Global Warming" blah blah blah
If you dont believe what they believe, your wrong. . . .there is no arguing with them cause they have already made up their mind. . . .
I got into an argument with my girlfriend last night. She was blabbing on about universal health care blah blah blah blah blah. . . .when I asked her who was going to PAY for everyones health care, she got mad and said I was not compassionate and insensitive. Universal health care is a nice idea in theory, and has worked for some countries in Europe, but for the USA with 300,000,000 million + people?? Lets get real. . . .
Who in their right mind thinks that, that (socialized medicine) won't bankrupt our country?? Honestly, who the fuck is going to pay for that?? Granted our medical care system is broken, but broken because insurance companies fuck us!! Imagine if the government was in control of health care in the USA?? Oh mama we would be skrewed!!
And to think people think health care is broken now. . . .wait till the Democrats get a hold of it (socialized medicine yowza!!) Hey, its coming down the pike if Billery or Da Bama gets elected in 08'!!!!
Ahh, the silly republican blames insurance companies, opens mouth without thinking (the proverbial mouth, in this sense), needs to start expanding his horizons beyond fox news, and the New Republic...... what party, if you had to guess, receives large (and I mean really large) sums of money from the insurance industry?
If you answered the repubs, you'd be correct. So quit all your pissing and moaning about insurance companies when simpletons like you that subscribe to the most pervasive groupthink this country has seen in...(well, I don't know how long, but it's been a long time) voted people into office that are "friends of the program"
With regard to universal healthcare, one must only have a cursory knowledge of how the current system works; of which you (who must get their news directly from Rush, and
only Rush) obviously have no clue. You, sir, have what we like to call insipient diarrhea of the mouth. Anyway...back to the point, ah yes, healthcare.
So, the poor/old people have medicaid/medicare, the middle class (mostly unionized persons) have private health insurance, along with the upper middle class and the rich folks. Somewhere in between there are between 35 and 46 million Americans (depends on who ya ask) without any healthcare coverage. So, what happens when these uninsured americans fall ill, or need medical attention? Morons like you would probably say, "F that lazy bastard that won't get off his lazy derriere and get a job so that they can afford health coverage!" But we'll ignore that for now. To answer the question: they do nothing, they sit around, and let the infection, wound, disease, etc. fester until they have no option but to seek the assistance of an emergency room, which by law is not allowed to refuse service to those in need of urgent care. Who picks up the bill? You and me stupid, and millions of other "hard-working, tax-paying americans!" (please note the repub rhetoric, because I am layin it on pretty thick here).
So, as you can see, my feeble-minded little friend, what we have here (other than a failure to communicate) amounts to defacto socialized medicine in practice, although not in name. You and I are picking up the tab for millions of uninsured Americans, but cringe at the idea of "free health care for all," which has got to be one of the most idiotic reactions anyone could have. One is reminded of chicken-little, when the "conservatives" (who, by the way have expanded the gov't at a record rate over the last half-decade; whatever happened to small gov't anyway? Answer: it's a myth, the proverbial red-herring; used to dupe gun-toting, budweiser-swilling morons like yourself into voting for them) talk about the crush it would place on the economy. You wanna know what would happen if we socialized medicine? People who need healthcare (especially preventative healthcare) would get it. People who want to keep their private health insurance to avoid the red-tape would; and health insurance companies would make less money (which is the real reason why we don't have universal healthcare).
Let's see your rebuttal to that argument, Billy-Bob.
