Roll Call ^ | June 8, 2009, 12 a.m. | Tom Daschle

Posted on 06/09/2009 5:43:18 PM PDT by redreno

When the president said, “Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness. The time has arrived for action to help them attain that opportunity and that protection,” he was exactly right.

This is the same guy that said we are spending too much on medical research and that old people should have the decency to die.

“Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.

That's because millions of our citizens keep voting for sacks of crap like you.

How can this tax dodging individual (POS) be given any credibility concerning taxes on the rest of us?

Hey Tom - you have the right to all the medical care you can purchase or as a result of insurance for which you pay premiums. Anything else is charity. Let’s call it like it is.

Why what tiny Tom Dasshole thinks about this or any other subject is news is an indictment of the organization reporting it.

This jerkoff couldn't even win reelection in his home state when he was was leader of the Democrats in the Senate.

The socialists want everyone to get the same treatment as the uninsured.

Except for party leaders and their families of course.

This is freedoms last stand in this nation.

If we lose, America will be no different than Canada or Cuba.

And isn’t this the guy who used the example of heart caths as being a wasteful expense because only 1/3 of them caught heart disease?

FOLLOW... THE MONEY... Daschle would have no raison d’etre if he can’t take our money and make his little social health care fiefdom. He couldn’t be in the cabinet because he did not pay the taxes he wants you to pay.

I know people who have gone to the local children’s hospital and had everything written off at 100% that wasn’t covered by insurance because it was a Children’s Miracle Network hospital. Additionally, in Ohio you can be 1 person making between $10,210 and $40,840 or 7 people making between $31,090 and $124,360 and get a discount (2007 figures). The amount of the discount - and some are generous - depends on where you fall in the chart. This would be for any charges remaining after insurance pays.
