HealthCare & Politics

[dalthauser]

I'm currently sick and tired of the venom spewing out of the mouths of the Fox News watching so called "conservative" morons over this Healthcare issue.

They go on and on about socialism, death panels, taking care of the illegals (the horror!), and Hitler (did Hitler have a health care plan? I missed that section in history class) - but not one is yelling out an alternative to what they disagree with.

Honestly - I think a healthy percentage of them are just Obama Haters who don't want the democrats to win the kind of huge victory that implementing Healthcare Reform would bring.  I don't think they will be satisfied with ANY VERSION of Healthcare Reform (unless Fox News endorses it first - which would be when hell freezes over)

Just sayin......

I haven't been watching the news. It's embarassing on one hand, but then I'm glad I live in a country that can openly debate this. I'll be happier in this country when there is an equalized health care opportunity.

I think it is a few (25%?)that are making a lot of noise. I think pro-reformers might be taking the reforms for granted and thus are a bit quieter, and I hope this isn't a detriment to the cause. But at least they are being civil!

I don't mean to imply that liberals are more intelligent, well-rounded, worldly, coherent, forward thinking, even-tempered, wait..... I do mean to imply that. ;-)

Seriously though - I'm all for debating the issue (where are Oprah or Anderson Cooper?). I can't believe that VH1 or MTV aren't making a reality show where half the house is liberal and half is conservative and they win a trip to the Bahamas if they can agree on a health care plan for the country before labor day.

Hmmmm.... I like that reality show - you should pitch it to someone!

Did I ever tell you about the fight I had with an insurance company because they didn't want to cover my "well woman exam" because they claimed it was a pre-existing condition?
