Who threw the first punch depends on whom you ask. But who got the worst of it
was fairly clear. Gladney was taken to the emergency room with injuries to his
knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face and ended up in a wheelchair. His troubles
were just beginning. Recently laid off, this particular anti-health reform
protester, it turned out, had no health insurance. Last heard, he was still
accepting donations for his medical expenses.
It's not difficult to ridicule the American right. Its peculiar blend of
paranoia, mania, fantasy and misanthropy has been given full rein these past few
months. Those who demanded in July to see Obama's birth certificate (which does
exist) ended August invoking the British healthcare system's "death panels"
(which do not). That most of their claims were verifiably false was of little
consequence--to them at least. At one point they insisted that if scientist
Stephen Hawking were British and subject to the National Health Service, he
would be dead, even though Hawking is British, alive and grateful to the NHS for
his care.
So progressives could be forgiven for branding the right as stupid and crazy.
But they would also be wrong. For if this is madness, there is great method in
it. It is well organized and well funded. It has proven effective in mobilizing
support, creating "controversy" where little exists and disrupting and
disorienting whatever national conversation there is. If it is stupid, then what
does it say about us, since time and again it manages to outmaneuver the left?
Annoying, bizarre, incoherent, divisive, intolerant, small-minded, misinformed,
ill informed and disinformed, certainly. But stupid and crazy--anything but. It
takes considerable skill to convince people that something that is clearly good
for them--like universal healthcare--is not. If the right is crazy, it is crazy
like a Fox News presenter. Reducing a political strategy or belief to a
psychological disorder to dismiss and ridicule its proponents may be comforting.
But it also abandons any hope of defeating it or stymieing its influence beyond
therapy.
There are three important points to acknowledge about people like Gladney.
First, they are not new. The cold war in general and McCarthyism in particular
was built on lies, misinformation, obsession and guilt by the most tenuous of
associations .....

You do understand dont you...that WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam and the
Balkans were all wars that Democrat Presidents sent troops into harms
way. do you not?
And it appears that the Obamassiah is increasing the US role in
Afghanistan by a significant number of troops.

You need everyone to do all of your research for you. That way you can

It's not just one link. It's public knowledge now. It's all over

Ask the unions then why they are spending so much money advertizing for
a "change"...
You moron, you demanded he do your research for you AFTER he presented
his evidence to support his claim.
Like I said, nothing crossed the "Brain - Ignorance barrier".
That is called "evidence" you then demanded "Care to research what the
unions are spending on pushing thier side of things ?"
See, he posts "evidence" you demand he do your counter research
because you are too stupid to operate the "google machine".
Isn't English simple when someone explains it to you?
Look up where the WHO ranks the US in health care among nations.
Perhaps that will answer your question.
What is #37, far below those horrid socialists in Canada, England,
Sweden. Hell, we are even below Morocco. We do have it all over those
Slovenian bastiges.
We are
14th in preventable deaths!
24th in life expectancy!
2nd in health expenditures per as a percentage of GDP (What the fuck
are the Marshall Islands doing?)
So obviously when you total those numbers up, we have the best health
care system that the Insurance and Pharmaceutical Industries could
design for themselves.
Lets leave it just like it is, because gawd knows if it gets any worse
we are totally fucked.
Quote some more WHO numbers, we all know they are geared towards socialist
interpretations because they need to justify their huge taxes.
Why don't you give life expectancy numbers comparing disease survivability?
Its because they show were better
Take out the car deaths, deaths from sporting accidents and a host of
others and were better
so go fuck yourself and your fucked numbers
What "agenda"?
Getting better health care for all at a lower price per person?
Did you drool on this ASCII?
<GAK>
Now the wingers want less health care for some at a higher price
and want to maintain low quality & responsability while getting
maximum bribes to the rethugs .... AND they lie wholesale.

CEO of United Healthcare gets about a million dollars per day ..... and

and "Swift Boat" and "There is no global warming" & other lies are probably
involved ..
BTW, Who was whining about health care costs driving US firms out of
business?
Guess what sort of health care places like Japan & Germany have.

You are talking about the Left wingnuts aren't you?
Note: No actual data to refute the factual information, just lies. The
US pays more of its GDP for health care. So tell me the difference in
my pay check between a tax and a "premium". Then explain why Medicare
can provide health care for 4% overhead and UHC is 26% overhead per
premium dollar?
The US pays 16% of GDP, next closest is Canada with 10.5% GDP. They
have no uninsured, we have 17% and rising.
As long as those corporations keep telling you that the cock you suck
is a milk teet you won't ever wonder why the milk is so thin.
>Why don't you give life expectancy numbers comparing disease survivability?
Why would I, do you have the numbers from a world wide organiztion.
>Its because they show were better
Really, so we are good at one thing out of a multitude of
possibilities! Now is that disease survivability based upon treatment?
Because we do have 45,000 people a year who die because they don't get
treatment. You know don't have insurance. I'll bet they are not
counted in your numbers.
>Take out the car deaths, deaths from sporting accidents and a host of
>others and were better
You mean like drunk driving and guns? Yeah, most other countries don't
have to put up with those kinds of things because they have excellent
transist systems and they are not gun crazy retards.
>so go fuck yourself and your fucked numbers
Poor baby, if you had insurance I'd suggest that you could get
treament for the inversion problem.

No, stupid, I am not.
Here is the hint: Obama ALWAYS said he was going to focus on
Afghanistan and increase the troops there while drawing down in Iraq.
Therefore the socio-political comment is wrong and the place where the
reduction in troops would occur is wrong.
Now, if you and the rest of the wingnuts would like to discuss any
other political or foreign policy issues I would suggest you have a
grasp of the subject matter so that the educated "elite" do not have
to make you look like you have split melons for heads.
If you think unions have anyones interests but thier own in mind you are
deluding yourself
so you want me to prove a negitive..
Thanks, no.. I will just accept yoru surrender now.

Very interesting....
>Right.. you actually believe that line of,
>"we are from the government and we are here to help" ?
You would rather believe:
"We are the insurance company and our job is to provide coverage and
pay claims, rather than deny claims and cancel coverage after
receiving payment"
"We are the drug company, our job is to create cures rather than
treatments for which we then make billions"
(Watch, he won't understand the difference between treatment and cure)
Here is your hint:
The VA is the highest rated system by the users of any medical system
in the USA. Which is #2?
Evidence that the government can and does provide quality health care
never counts because the wingnuts don't like the government, except
for their benefits, and therefore it cannot actually be working as it
does.
At least I have a good idea who is paying your tab to post now...
So why are the authors of the bills prancing about with 1100 pages of
swill ?
Why not just go for what you seem to feel is the obvious choice, that
government take over health care..
Completely....
What is a union's self-interest? Who are union officers? In union
elections who votes?
>> Really, what could anyone be thinking, of course the Insurance and
>> Drug industries are 100% behind the American worker.
>At least I have a good idea who is paying your tab to post now...
Really? Who might that be?
Yo, Alexa, inform Paul who pays me to post.
I do love a good cornspiracy theory.
So who do you imagine? Unless you feel that the Insurance and Drug
companies are more in tune with the American worker than say unions or
even the government? You could try to make the case that they are
better for workers than unions.
The HELP bill is 600 pages. Any other stupid comments that have
nothing to do with the point that the government operates the two
highest rated health care systems in the USA. I guess you are against
well run and efficient health care.
>Why not just go for what you seem to feel is the obvious choice, that
>government take over health care..
>Completely....
HR.193 works for me. I like it, Medicare for all. Your current health
care premiums just shift over to Medicare rather than the insurance
companies and we get an instant +15% increase in usable health care
dollars. We then use that 15% more usable dollars to insure those that
cannot afford the medicare premiums.
Private Health Insurance: 78% of each premium dollar for health care.
Medicare: 96.5% of each premium dollar goes to health care.
I also would not be against expansion of the VA system to reopen the
closed unprofitable hospitals and clinics in poor and rural areas to
provide quality free health care so that no one has to use emergency
rooms for common health issues.
But I'll bet you would be against American farmers and poor people
getting subsidized health care.
Last I heard it was the CIA.
There are a dozen or more bills. I cited the most common House bill,
HR3200.
It is simply 1100 pages of swill.
For your other comment I'd ask, do you intend the government take over
ever Hospital and clinic in the country ?
that would be the only way for them to deliver the same quaity of care
the VA does now.

Like most leftists you are good at attempting to put words in peoples
mouths.
Why don't you just follow Jimmy Carter's lead and call any who dare
oppose the current ideas or even offer alternates racist and be done

Unions have done great things for the auto industry..

You claim you have not read any of the bills, so how do you know they
are swill, let alone why you have the idea you would understand them.

Yes and yet you miss the point again. There were two. The Brit NHS
style VA and the Canadian style single payer medicare. Which of either
of those is a poorly run health care system.
The two best are government run. So make you case the government is
not capable of running the health care system. I have evidence they
are quite good at it.

So you are against providing VA style health care for those most in
need of affordable health care and are satisfied with the current
method for them that clogs the emergency rooms because they have no
local care.
We won't go into the horrors of emergency care in rural America now
that the for profit companies control so many of the health systems

How many people are currently employed by health insurance companies ?
And how many would still have jobs after your plan is put in place ?
Got a plan to deal with the jump in unemployment you will cause ?
Not to mention the hit the finacial markets take when all those
insurance companies have to dump thier investments as the are forced out
of business..

VA and Medicare are not under US law? Really, since when? Maybe if you
tried having your reading make sense you could actually stay with the
conversation.
So here it is for the third time:
Which of the VA or Medicare is a poorly run health care system? Be
prepared to provide evidence to support your conclusion.

Yes, in EVERY health care sytem there are, now show any evidence that
the the US Government health care SYSTEM is not well managed.
Individual horror stories are not evidence of the SYSTEM, simply local
failures, unless you can provide systemic evidence.

So, you are in favor of corporate socialism and welfare where rather
than taxes we are required to support inefficient corporations and
redistribute our payroll to the employees of the Insurance companies
and all of the people employed to shuffle the paper created by the
insurance companies.
Not very efficent use of your payroll dollar.
So if people lose their jobs so small and medium companies can pay for
health insurance for the rest of the employees, you are okay with them
being unemployed but those poor helpless insurance companies need to
be protected.

>Got a plan to deal with the jump in unemployment you will cause ?
Yes, small and medium companies will be able to hire employees since
their overhead will be lower.

Really, why don't you and paul explain how the bankruptcy of people
that have insurance and get cut-off is good for the economy. Then
explain the number of people who have lost their jobs because their
employer had to cut back because insurance costs have gone up.

thier overhead is lower ?

If they are so efficient why are they always running at a loss? Profit is one
measure of effientcy. At least to nonmarxists.
perhaps you would be surprised to learn that there is a thing called
"government services" that are not intended to make a profit - these include
not only the post office, but our military, police, fire, and rescue
operations. As you might recall, our founding fathers felt that post
capability was essential to bind the nation together.

They may have in the course of their business handled billions. But
they do not handle even a fraction of the mail the USPS handles.
>AND they turn a profit...
They do not deliver to EVERY address in the USA and they are VERY
expensive.
I'd love to hear the wingnut whinage if the USPS started acting like
FedEx or UPS.
Now, let us see FedEx or UPS set up delivery 6 days a week to any
address in the USA for $0.46 per item.
Oh, and their error rates are higher.
More expensive, less service area and less quality. Yeah, great
examples.
Oh, the USPS sends mail worldwide too. They even have "airmail"
service. Really cheap too, lots less expensive than FedEx.
"They", you have read all 4 committee bills and the chairman's mark in
the finance committee.
Well, there has to be one especially "swill" passage in one of those 5
bills that you found specifically onerous? Maybe you can point to that
and explain why that is swill.

I don't have to, I know how the sausage is made. You however proved

existing law, without repeal, and enable the federal government to
suddenly start funding abortions. Yet you could not supply even one
quote.
You have not read even a page and are just spewing talking points as

You illiterate stump. Try reading for comprehension (your hint is the

"The Brit NHS style VA"
"Canadian style single payer medicare"
See how the NHS and Canadian are used to describe the type of model
for the VA and Medicare.

Yes, and that was corrected. Vets living the the CALVET home in
Yountville because of AO disabilities, fully paid for by VA.
Since that has been fixed you have anything current that might
actually be valid? Last I heard the VA started in 1998 with a backlog
of over 200,000 Vets with claims, many with AO claims. The current
backlog is down to 20,000 with most of those previous claims approved.
I'd call that a hell of a turn around and a pretty damn efficient
system.
Maybe you should find out which medical system was key to determining
drugs like Naproxen and Celebrex were causing heart failure. What
highly efficient computerized medical record system spotted the
clusters.
Really, if AO is the best you can come up with you are fucked. Oh and
it was primarily the Reagan and BushI administrations that fought
against the AO diagnosis and the Clinton admin that reversed it. Nice
how those republicans cared about the Vets.

Now that was not math, you moron, that is policy.
Really, do you understand how insurance works and the methods by which
the for profit insurance companies make huge profits?
Here is your first clue: The larger the pool the less insurance costs.
Here is your second clue: There is a very large body of uninsured that
are also the healthiest segment of society.
Here is your third clue: How does every other country in the
industrialized world provide health care at 60% or less than our cost
of health care?
BTW: Which taxes. Be specific.

So, the health insurance companies are what support Wall Street. I bet

You obviously think Life Insurance companies and Health Insurance
Companies are the same financial model. Really, do you ever have even
the slightest clue what you blither on about?
Wellpoint is just a service provider company, it does not "invest"
anything. No financial "blowup" if a service provider company goes

If you had not been distracted by your "stupid" you would have been
able to remember what was written right above (still quoted) that
described it all exactly.
"also would not be against expansion of the VA system to reopen the
closed unprofitable hospitals and clinics in poor and rural areas to
provide quality free health care"
See how easy that was, I already explained the detail of what I wanted

what you wrote.
You could not directly address the point of "reopening" so you went

What revenge, you moron? People in the USA are without healthcare
because greedy fuckers like Health Insurance Companies and Wall Street
are in charge and that needs to change. Making the healthcare
affordable and available is a basic human right for all of our people,
not just those who are rich enough to afford it.
That you believe that corporations have more rights than the farmer
out in Iowa or the 20 year old kid just starting out in Harlem shows
how brain washed you are.
People are more important than corporate profit.

"Universal" American healthcare coverage, explained:
You get the "care" they approve for you, when they get around to it, if they

They very well might do a good job.
But first you have to acknowledge that would require the complete
takeover of every medical clinic and hospital.
No, they do not. There are several methods beyond that simplistic and
quite stupid concept.
1. Single Payer Insurance (See Canada).
2. Hybrid Government & Private (See France)
3. Government subsidized private insurance (???Germany???)
Government runs the overall system however private system provides the
care.
When you get boxed into a corner you change the subject. Every time.
You're a dishonorable coward.
He won't. He'll change the subject with some snide aside taken
straight from some dumbass right wing talking asshole.

You mean like your "snide aside"" you dumbass left-wing asshole ?
The Founding Fathers never intended for there to be a standing military.
The Militia are every able-bodied adult citizen, whose job it is to
defend the country against invaders.
Remember the Constitution?
"Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed."
The rest are local issues, and none of the FedGov's business.
Hope This Helps!
