I'm sorry, Nanners. ::(:

There is a giant picture of Sharon "get the government out of health care except the stuff enjoyed by my husband and me" Angle on the Huff-post thing today.  Those teeth are white!  Someone enjoys regular trips to the dentist!

[Whoo]

Sharon Angle is an idiot of the first degree.  I didn't think it was possible, but she is worse than Palin.

[Whoo]

Is anyone surprised?  I say screw 'em - what is wrong with the mindset of our "leaders" that they are willing to continually bow down to companies?  Let some of the bastards go out of business, call their bluffs, strategize and come up with counters to every one of their backdoor little plans to shirk the responsibility of holding up to their end of the business; i.e., that as insurers, they know in addition to raking in all kinds of money on premiums from people who won't utilize their policies, they will also have to pay out money here and there on those people who do.  This is the United States of America and "capitalism" has been one-sided long enough - it is a two-way street, dammit! :mad:

People are griping about Obamacare( and I've got some problems with it too) but what are the Tea Party folks and the GOP doing about the high cost of BUYING insurance? Obama and the rest of the GOP(I didn't mistakingly post this) don't like Medicaid/Medicare, why are they sucking up to the insurance companies? Is this Investment Bankers Part II?   :mad:

If I hear of another CEO getting a huge bonus for failing, I'm gonna buy me an automatic rubber band gun and go to Washington!   ::O: :P 8)

Would promise to undo health care get you to vote for a Republican?


Much like the Democrats themselves, President Obama's signature issue of health care reform might get quite a beating in the midterm elections.


For starters, three states will vote on proposed constitutional amendments that would let them opt out of key provisions in the health care law.

Arizona, Colorado and Oklahoma are all hoping to follow the lead of Missouri - which has already passed a similar initiative with a whopping 71 percent of the vote.

The idea of these measures is to ban the federal government from forcing people to buy health insurance.

Supporters say it's unconstitutional. Whether it is or not, there is a lot of opposition to this law which was cobbled together out of public view, contains no public option, and so far hasn't done a single thing to bring down health care costs.

A lot of Republicans are latching on to the discontent over this issue; pledging to repeal the health care law if they win control of Congress.

Democrats who voted against the bill are also making sure their constituents know it, and a lot of those who voted for the bill are keeping quiet.

It's unlikely Republicans will be able to repeal the measure while President Obama is still in office. And it's unclear if moderate Republicans and Independents will support efforts to undo the law.

A recent         national  poll shows 47 percent of those surveyed want Congress to repeal and replace the health care law; and fewer than one in five think the law will personally help them or their families.

In regards to the people that believe forcing people to buy health insurance is unconstitutional, what about Americans that are forced to buy car insurance, FICA and other mandatory payroll taxes?

[RatSass]

what about Americans that are forced to buy car insurance, FICA and other mandatory payroll taxes?

Don't get me started on taxes.  You don't have to buy car insurance if you don't own a car OR if you self insure.  There are lots of people who don't need insurance, me for one, who will be forced to pay the fine the first year then decide if I waste money on insurance or continue to pay the fine. 

[Sir Jeffrey]

ok, just think of mandatory health insurance as taxes so you can sleep better at night, lol

[flybananas]

gee, terry - no source? That's not *quite* "UR" posting "style"

[hammondjam]

Insurance companies don't build those giant skyscrapers with fairy dust. Insurance companies are corporations. Corporations have been controlling Washington for quite some time. I'm surprised that we aren't forced to buy life insurance or earthquake insurance or meteor insurance or illegal alien insurance, etc.

Would I vote Republican if they promise to get rid of Obamacare? Not yet, I won't! The GOP is in bed with corporations too. Obama?.....he's just another bedbug.
