Why are the Repubicans fine with providing it to Haiti, Iraq, and Afghanistan but totally against it for the USA?

The irony of the whole big mess.

[email protected] - consider yourself under report!

Because those are poor AMERICANS. You are not allowed to be poor in America. Repubs would rather you died.

Hey, cut that Allen Grayson crap!

(BTW, he's from the district right next to mine. He has taken some very deep local **** about his reference to The Holocaust...).

PLEASE........don't equate global policy with DOMESTIC policy!!!

(brownie points and all)

Something tells me that it'll work as good as those "universal" remotes!

The level of care being provided in these foreign countries is the American equivalent of emergency care which is available to EVERYONE in the US at no cost. In fact, Americans are so decent, we provide that level of care to people we shoot on the battle field.

The Health Insurance issue in the US is, "should those who are productive pay for those who are not productive to have the luxury higher forms of healthcare".

While that debate is ongoing, we have become aware that the Left's solution is to make it illigal for those who are productive to purchase levels of care, with the fruits of their labor,that less productive people can not afford.

The Right and the Left have a basic disagreement which gives rise to most of the "issues" we debate. The disagreement revolves around the question, "Should wealth be privately owned?"

Yeah! Free universalhealthcare.

Wait, who is he and why was he banned?

#8...PREACH ON!

You sir, see the "forest for the trees".

You may pass Go and collect $200.00.

"emergency care which is available to EVERYONE in the US at no cost"

Right. No cost. Someone pays.

Nothing is free!! always a cost to someone somewhere

"The Right and the Left have a basic disagreement which gives rise to most of the "issues" we debate. The disagreement revolves around the question, "Should wealth be privately owned?" "

LMMFAO!!!!

Just when you thought the loonies couldn't get loonier!

Look how long it takes to see a doctor in Haiti, Iraq, and Afghanistan. That cuts in to my smoking time. And it's rationed care in Haiti, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I don't want that at all.

I want a free Mercedes!

ALL politicians have to support Haiti - it's political suicide if they say anything remotely bad. Just look at the hoopla on this board when someone utters the words "Why are we supporting Haiti?"

You can't compare apples and oranges.....

As I've stated before, healthcare truly needs to be reformed. The insurance companies run the system, overcharge on many things, and scam when they can. Still, the plan being proposed right now doesn't even have the support of the majority of Democrats. In fact, many Democrats are unhappy with how this plan works and where the money will come from. As it stands, this isn't solely a Republican problem. If you do your homework, you'll see just how flawed this plan is and why politicians themselves don't want to support it.

^^ A good place to start with REAL reform would be to jettison the AMA closed shop union.

Simple plan. Go across state lines for health insurance. That will create competition and get the government out of it.

18: Not really. Every insurance company will just set up shop in the state with the most lax regulations and the consumers will suffer and have no recourse or legal standing or protection from their own state insurance regulators.

I suspect the healthcare reform could really have been less than 50 pages.

Instead, it became an incomprehensible 2000+ pages packed full of sausage--congress should be ashamed
