the usa is really in the shitter...
amazing they can get away with this type of shit and call it reform... especially while
blaming joe lieberman or the 25% neanderthal population of this country...
2009, the year a partially black man became "the man"...
amazing how they can get away with not giving the people what they want and forcing you
into a relationship with the insurance companies... this is pretty much beyond
belief...

Agreed. Joe The Bummer is as big a piece of shit as any of them, but those
pols who are actually fighting for the American people would fit in a Smart
Car with room left over for luggage. The "bailout" of drug companies by
prohibiting prescription imports pretty much pulls the last potentially
helpful piece out of the bill.
Government of the corporations, by the corporations & for the corporations
shall not perish from the earth. At least not in our lifetime.

How could you realistically expect otherwise?
Not that I would welcome such a 'public option' for
my country because being forced into buying
insurance sucks big time if you can't afford it.
Been there.

Mostly because there are people who have had it drilled into their heads
that "business-friendly" is good while "people-friendly" is bad. This
whole notion that companies have a divine right to do business is a
direct result of the 50 year war on education the Republicans have
waged. People just don't know any better because they haven't been
taught any better. Companies do business only by the grace of the
people. And Government is supposed to represent the people, not the
corporations.

The corporations control America. What I find stupid is that people
don't mind an insurance company denying
them a procedure but they worry about the government doing the same
thing.
Robin williams said that politcians should be like NASCAR drivers with
all sorts of ads on them. Then you would see which one had Blue Cross
or Atnea stuck all over them.

Concurrently with the labelling of anyone boosting programs for
individuals as "liberals" or "socialists".
I often laugh at the jarring disconnect involved in the people
shouting this also usually claiming they're being oppressed due to
being Christians.
you would have thought those morons would figure it out when bush and
cheney referred to them as loonies...
i know. YAAAY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS JOE LIEBERMAN!!! YAAAY!

you have the most fascinating mongoloid-like sentence structures i've seen in a
long. it's like you start the sentence with one idea, but by the time you get to
the end of the long-winded sentence, you've actually forgotten what it was you
were saying in the beginning. it's pretty amazing.

why they are, bozzo! a majority of Americans don't want this criminally wasteful
health care bill. if our elected official vote no, they actually are doing what
the people want.

so are you, but we don't get macho-bullying about it.
but hey, if the porkcare bill goes down, along with cap and trade, America is
saved.

How about shining up to the big drug companies by making sure the
people who need the medications most, cannot get them from outside the
country?
yes lets thank bush, cheney, and obama for that... :-(
well the way a public option is supposed to be constructed it would give competition to
the insurance companies that spent 263 million dollars this year to defeat it...
so imo if they were willing to spend that much money to defeat it, it couldve possibly
worked... but they want no competition, so our politicians take their money and fuck
us...
Blue Cross in Mass in still a non-profit. I had them for a while at an
old job and they were OK. The best health Insurance I ever had was
HealthNet back in the 80's - no co-pays at all, not even for
prescriptions (generics). However, by the mid-90's HealthNet had put on
co-pays as high as $20 for OV and $10 for generic Rx. Since then, I have
GIC (Group Insurance Commission, a state-run insurance program here in
Mass) and they were awesome. The co-pays were not too high and you could
self-refer to specialists so you could skip an OV with your PCP if you
needed to go directly say to an orthopedist.

Handy tip: If you're going to diss someone for grammar/spelling, you
should probably proofread your post a time or two.
The more you know...
The country will be very much worse of if OBOMBa gets his health care
scam foisted on the American People. The only thing our Masters are
really doing is forcing poor people to pay intensive prices for
medical insurance. Hillary Clinton tried to float this idea some years
ago for her Insurance company buddies. The most precious thing for the
Monster in Chief is if he can get the public to accept the notion that
his plan is a 'reform' when it is a destruction of poor people's
income. If you are not politically astute my might call Obama a
Socialist. It must be pointed out that there is a big, significant
difference between Obama and Mao:
Obama presides over the USA--the biggest imperialist power in history
that wreaks havoc on a scale worse than the Nazis for hundreds of
years longer than the German capitalists on people all ove the globe;
the Commander-in-Chief of the military force to reinforce and expand
relations of exploitation and oppression. Mao led a genuine communist
revolution in China, where the greatest advances so far in history
were achieved in eliminating relations of exploitation and oppression.
You can change insurance companies.
And that is the essence of it: freedom vs the lack thereof.

It's human nature to attack the entity who is on top whether it be a person,
business or a county. The US is far from perfect, but I would say overall we
try to do the right thing. The world has an expectation of our country
during times of crisis or disaster. We carry a heavy burden. To not give any
credit to this country *ever* for anything is pretty dissapointing and
shortsided.
Do you remember when Bush made it his goal to triple aid to africa? I
didn't even know about it until Bono made a fuss about it. I can't remember
anyone in here mentioning it either.
http://www.nowpublic.com/world/americans-are-most-generous-people-planet
Americans are the most generous people in the world, measured by charitable
giving as a percent of GDP. Americans give twice as much (1.67% of GDP) as
the next most charitable country, the U.K. at 0.73%, according to this study
by the Charities Aid Foundation (chart above is taken from the study).
Americans give almost 12 times as much as the French and almost 8 times as
much as the Germans. In fact, Americans give more as a percent of GDP than
France, Germany, Turkey, New Zealand, Singapore and the Netherlands
COMBINED!
And charitable giving in the U.S. set another record in 2006 at almost $300
billion, about the same amount as the GDP of Denmark, Greece, Austria or
Norway.
Washington - The United States is the single largest donor of foreign
economic aid, but, unlike many other developed nations, Americans prefer to
donate their money through the private sector, according to a new report
published by a Washington research organization.
Of the $122.8 billion of foreign aid provided by Americans in 2005 (the most
current data available), $95.5 billion, or 79 percent, came from private
foundations, corporations, voluntary organizations, universities, religious
organizations and individuals, says the annual Index of Global Philanthropy.
The index was issued May 24 by the Center for Global Prosperity at the
Hudson Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan research organization.
"It isn't like in the 1950s when the Marshall Plan and government flows
dominated our economic engagement with the developing world," said Carol A.
Adelman, the director of the Center for Global Prosperity. She spoke May 24
at the launching of the report.
For example, U.S. foundations gave more - in money, time, goods and
expertise - than 11 of the 22 developed-country governments each gave in
2005, and U.S. private voluntary organizations totaled more than the
governments of Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and France each.
More than half of all U.S. assistance to developing countries, $61.7
billion, came in the form of private remittances by individuals living in
the United States to their families abroad, the report says. According to
the report, those remittances not only reduce poverty, but, in some cases,
increase creditworthiness of countries and underwrite their trade
imbalances.
Tiny and unremarkable Norway gives more than the United Snakes in
world aid. The USA is the worst source for misery on the planet.
Through unrelenting wars of aggression, and terrorism, but most
notably a grinding system of Imperialist domination in which the
everyday works of Capitalism, work to death, break bodies, enforce
millions of women into sexual slavery, starve whole countries, and
deliberately set in place austerity measures to harm regular people
for the benefits of a silk suit class of wolves. Most importantly this
system of exploitation is backed up by a sinister military, one that
thinks nothing of using predator drones to kill 250 civilians in
attempt to kill one freedom fighter, a system which has poisoned Iraq
with tons of depleted uranium munitions, a system that employs secret
military torture prisons of prisoners who are unknown all throughout
eastern Europe, the USA backs up torture states like Israel, or Peru,
whose rulers are so hated if it was not for the might of the Nazi like
US military the people of those countries would tear their Sheiks and
comparador political phonies to pieces, if it were up to the will of
regular people. The USA is much bigger than the Roman, and much more
widespread than Hitler's predator country forces. Capitalism is a
system of enforced slavery, a dictatorship of the rich.
Most regular people are the have nots. But we are also the gonna gets.
much fun! especially after you said you were never gonna read my posts ever
again.

how does thinking you're colossally stupid make me a racist?
i have no idea what you are, except that you're stupid.
and that's pretty evident.
anyway, let me say this as simply as possible:
current health care bill bad.
Bozzo, stupid, couldn't have a real debate if his life depended on it.
see? simple, even for you.
most sincerely,
when it comes to that moron, you mean dont know... lol...
What did you expect when they were basing it of the Massachusetts
model?
It's not even remotely close to the Massachusetts model. Not that our
system is all that great but when my friend lost his job 2 years ago he
was able to get decent coverage for his family of 5 through the
Connector. There is more that could be done here but we went from around
the middle in terms of percentage uncovered to where we are now the
lowest state in the nation. Do actually know anything about our law or
do you just regurgitate Fox News talking points?
BTW, the biggest problem with our law is that it was written by Mitt
Romney.
