IMHO, it would be an improvement.
but frankly, I don't think Biden or Obama are the biggest problem here, it's

Look at those perfect teeth. Didn't get those on any national healthcare plan....
 
I'm driving and have the radio on.....the DJ says....

"Yeah, I'm on my way to work today, walking down the street and this guy, like 40 years old, falls down and really seems like he hurt himself. Then these 2 guys in suits passing by said, 'Yo dude, not to worry, you have healthcare now'."
:rofl:

Good point about the teeth Tigger......doesn't Britain have a national healthcare system?

Actually the British having bad teeth is a stereotype. Statistically they have less tooth decay than Americans. Most Britians simply don't find slightly crooked or off-white teeth that unappealing so we may have straighter teeth but as far as healthier teeth they come out ahead.

A study performed by OECD, an international economic organization, on the state of dental hygiene in developed countries has concluded that the British have the very best teeth in the entire world, with an average of just 0.6 of a tooth decaying per citizen. Not just "not the worst"--the absolute ****ing best! That's like routinely mocking the feminine lisp of a guy-pal and finding out he's boned every single girl you know, including your mother (especially your mother). But sadly, because national stereotypes are apparently a zero sum, it turns out Poland has the worst teeth.

I don't know if I'm for or against. I know I need insurance but have no income so I can't get any. If the health care bill helps me to afford health insurance without putting us in more of a financial bind then we are in already, then I'm for it.

I do believe healthcare should be more affordable and user friendly....only this plan has a bit of a different agenda tied to it that will put us not only in more of a financial bind, but other binds as well.

Guess what? They won't be upping your income, they'll just be making you contribute (ie pay) for healthcare...if I understand it correctly?
 
I only got one, ok, two things to say...2010, the dumacrats are out, in 2012, oduma is out. It was all about government control, and we cant continue this way.....ok 3 things

It's unAmerican which is why the majority of Americans were opposed to this bill. The Democrats will wake up next election.

If this statement is true then the entire electoral system of the country is not valid. The majority of Americans elect representatives. That the majority then suffers, having elected the "wrong" representative is remedied in subsequent elections. In the mean time "the majority" does in de facto "support" the decision. Otherwise Anarchy would rule or at best we would enter into a dialectical materialism.
 
And your theory would be upheld by the approval ratings of Pelosi, Reid, Obama, et al.

I was thinking more along the lines of "mutany" then "anarchy".
 
In theory, 'representatives' should represent the majority view of their constituents.
I do not believe that this is how the government is actually operating.

Sorry Jerry, I don't think I was specific enough. When I say unAmerican, I'm referring to the concept of Socialized Health Care as a concept, not the way our government works. I support the Republic way of operating. I don't believe that Congress should have to get a majority vote before passing something. I wish they would pay attention to what the citizens want though. However, that being said, what's unAmercian is the Health Care bill, not our government structure.
 
They can't refuse to treat you anyway in USA.

I wonder about big fund raisers that raise $$ to find cures for diseases & to pay for treatment as they now won't have to be so concerned with paying for treatments.

So forget the personal responsibility of giving to the poor and helping those in need? The government will take care of it?

Yes, they will just take it....as much as they want....whether you wish to donate or not.....you will comply.

Those funds will go away, and so will the research they do to find cures for diseases.

Your first statement goes to the heart of the matter, they can't refuse to treat you in the US.

So what is this huge bill about? Not healthcare!
