I would agree about your statement about wanting Obama to fail. I debate with that in my head, but basically feel that way. At the same time, if this were something that would help both me and the country (mainly the country) out then I think I would like it. But the whole socialism part of it from the conservative media does scare me. <br />Thanks Seda.David and Sarah Carrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14387355127535702980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019242355400566406.post-43937338613553726992009-08-16T08:12:03.872-07:002009-08-16T08:12:03.872-07:00Hey girl,
Well, I don't like to get started, ...Hey girl,<br /><br />Well, I don't like to get started, but don't get me started. I love commenting to your posts, but the tower must fall, and this kind of thing (insurance) is just evil. I WILL NOT support the practices of my fellows that lead them into the hospitals. You're a bit different--I would pay for mistakes of birth, but not for people eating cheeseburgers in front of the telly all their lives and then having to have stints put in to keep them alive longer.<br /><br />If I could solve my intense mess of medical problems without drugs or insurance or doctors, anyone can. Until health insurance is about health and not about supporting evil practices, I'm against it. If a person has an accident, by all means, we should fix them. But I resent having to pay for someone to take pills for acid reflux just so they can keep eating cookies and beer. <br /><br />Aging is a myth--I resent having to pay for people's "aging." Until health insurance is about diet and nutrition and exercise, it's bunk.<br /><br />my two cents, girl,<br /><br />lets fix what fate and nature broke, not what gluttony, sloth or lust breaks.<br /><br />I will go to jail before I pay a tax fine because I will not pay into this scam.<br /><br />I also know that if I walk into a doctor's office (the only ones insurance pays for) they will stick with with needles and make me lie under their xray machines just because I might have cancer--their biggest money maker.<br /><br />Agh--well I got started...<br /><br />You're trying to do well in bailing the boat, girl, but the boat is down, down, down, as Field Negro says. Your heroic efforts only support evil. (well, not completely, that's the irony.)<br /><br />And don't get me started on prejudice. Employers already won't hire people over 40 because their insurance is twice as high. I have trouble finding a dentist because I'm lumped as a "bleeder." Genetic screening will make it impossible for people to get work if the employers have to pay for this, which they will. And what of companies with high risk? They already pay SAIF through the nose. <br /><br />It's just a really, really, really, really, really bad idea. <br /><br />But I applaud you trying to show people where the Reps are knocking more holes in the boat.<br /><br />They need to go to see their god and be all happy in their heaven. <br /><br />I wish them well, but don't ask me to carry them.<br /><br />hugs for you, sweetie,<br />meannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019242355400566406.post-22501151205919973852009-08-15T08:23:38.675-07:002009-08-15T08:23:38.675-07:00Probably. Congress keeps passing these incredibly ...Probably. Congress keeps passing these incredibly long, complicated bills, and it always seems like there's a few nasty surprises inside. And they tend to do it when a far simpler bill would be way more effective. This is a good example, and I can only speculate on what I didn't uncover. I think it makes people feel cynical, and raises opposition to just about anything. Still, this looks like pretty much a break-even bill. Which, when you get down to it, is pretty pathetic.<br /><br />I think a lot of the opposition is also that a lot of conservatives just want Obama to fail, and they're willing to screw up the whole country to see that he does. Rush Limbaugh is a case in point - he came right out and said it.Sedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992966189983263290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019242355400566406.post-52230981053734388392009-08-15T05:17:58.481-07:002009-08-15T05:17:58.481-07:00Thank you soooo much for trying to make sense of t...Thank you soooo much for trying to make sense of this! When I see something that absurdly overcomplicated, my instinct is to wonder what they're hiding. I wonder if that is fueling some of the anger and suspicion.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.com
