I think you also need:

1. Tax-free MSAs - funded in whole or in part by the government for those who cannot afford it
2. Catastrophic insurance - for things that are $20-50K and up - premiums paid from the MSA

You pay your ordinary medical expenses out of the MSA. This reconnects the consumer with the provider, which is the only way you rationally control costs.

Another “JOE” exposes Obama again.

I wish it were the whole GOP shouting in unison.

[EDINVA]

His statement did not backtrack. He apologized for the outburst only. He should, and we all should, leave it at that. No more apologies.

Everyone will remember it, and be damned glad one person had the guts to speak the truth, even if the forum wasn’t appropriate. The US Congress is not the British Parliament. There are protocols in Congress and in a moment of honesty and emotion, one person shouted out the truth. None of us would have wanted an anti-war Congressman screaming out at Bush when he addressed the Congress.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Apparently the left thinks it’s ok to throw two shoes at a president but wrong to shout two words. They’re already whining.

Yes of course.

I think we Freepers could put together legislation that would come in under 20 pages that would handle all the problems and not create any new ones.

I guess that is what's so infuriating. Essentially every problem in the world today is caused by liberalism. It's certainly the case with health care and all obozo wants is a huge increase in more liberalism!

When the Nation is about to be turned into a soft-totalitarian state shouting is not only appropriate it's necessary to wake the sheeple from their slumber.

I bet the Founding Fathers looked down approvingly at the Congressman and would have been please with much more.

[B Knotts]

Agree 100%!

Congressman Joe Wilson disarmed the Liar in Chief. Those two words: “You Lie” will be what is remembered most about this speech.

You go Joe.

[Coleus]

it’s about time someone stood up to him and called him what he really is.

Thanks for the ping. I prefer to call him a liar in a song.

Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.” .... “Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee; | I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see. | It rained all night the day you left, | the weather it was dry; | The sun so hot you froze to death, | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I come from Minnesota, with my laptop on my knee.

I had a dream the other night, | When everything was still; | I thought I saw Obama dear, | A-coming for The Hill. | The smearing lie was in Duluth, | The croc tear in his eye, | Said I, I’m coming for the truth | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.

I fight in my pajamas, | It’s plain for all to see. | I aim to be the next Buckhead; | The media all hate me. | I fell in love with Sarah | When my sister bit a moose. | The Guvnor’s family ate it up | And then they set it loose. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.

She loves her sons, she likes her guns, | and Triggernometry. | The media will jump the shark | When she makes history. | Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls | So controversially, | And Berg will knock Obama down | With friends of Hillary. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I soon will be in Hawaii, | And then I’ll look all ‘round, | And when I find his birth record, | I’ll fall upon the ground. | But if I do not find it, | This Freeper’ll surely die, | And when I’m dead and buried, | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me; | I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

If obozo’s lips are moving there is a 99.9888 percent chance he's telling a lie.

Little low, don't you think?

[PowerPro]

People who use Twitter… retweet this:

@mbhouse For those condemning @CongJoeWilson and saying he was lying, I have two words for you: HELLER AMENDMENT. http://bit.ly/CkRgk

[Bellflower]

Now we need to have Rep. Joe Wilson be plastered on the air waves showing the chapter and verse in the bill that says that illegal immigrants will be covered. Cover his face with the truth all over Conservative airwaves!!! Let the people know.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Today, the Dems will call for an official investigation of Representative Wilson. They will convene a Congressional hearing and demand that he resign.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Hmmm! “You Lie” could become a battle cry. Wouldn’t make a bad sign for the protest in DC this weekend!

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

The big question now is - will Rep. Wilson and the Republicans allow the Dems to focus on the shoutout instead of the indictment? Obama was accused of lying about health care for illegal aliens. Answer the accusation instead of discussing the breach of decorum.
