>Obama must be impeached. He must not get away with his treasonous unconstitutional “change.”. Think I am a nut job? I mean it. Just might happen too, if his approval numbers drop below 30.

If anything, the Democrats will be the ones to do it to get rid of their scapegoat. Then the reports about all the events of his whole life being a lie, accompanied by the Democrats saying “OMG, HE TOTALLY TRICKED US!”

Those turds will do anything to anyone to get back on top again.

“Well if you like Pelosi, you can keep her.”

Hopefully you mean in SF where she belongs, not as a representative.

the local hospital just built a new hospital 25 beds

That 25 bed thing is the limit for Federal funds, Same thing happened in my town. And the owner is the Sisters of St. Joseph's. They had a 75 bed hospital. That disappeared within six months of the new 25 bed hospital opening.

The Tribune is serving notice that Obama had better bail out the second city or else. If he does so then the Tribune will be back in line.

“Now the rules have been changed, and some families who have committed to pay thousands of dollars in insurance premiums...”

Pull a “Progressive” and cancel the policy or don’t pay and let them cancel you, then apply for the exemption and get your old insurance.

Well, when you get right down to it, prior to his senate run, I haven’t seen much of anything he wrote. Where are the essays, school papers/records, passport documents, etc.? Such a ‘gifted’ one should come replete with an archive of documents and writings, and instead all that is sealed.

But did the majority of those people already vote for Democrats? My guess is they did.

And many of the ones that are now being stuck with the bill also voted Democrat. Those are the ones that are having a change of heart.

I agree that you’ll never get those who get free stuff to vote against free stuff - but a good number of them already voted for free stuff anyway so the net change on that front may not be very large.

The big change could well be on the front of those who actually pay for all this. Many believed in magic and magic has faded away...

Not with the ensuing crash in durable goods, vehicle, and housing. These will pit manufacturing (real industry) and unemployment vs. Extortion-ProtectionRacketCare.

I think the ear infection in the infant was the only one of the three cases involved that possibly justified an ER visit. In fact, I might have even taken my baby to the ER to be seen if I was in their shoes, especially since their healthcare was free, courtesy of the taxpayers of Arizona. However, we lost our insurance earlier this year so we’ll be on the hook for several grand due to this ER visit.

Apparently you know little about how ERs function, so I’ll try to enlighten you. My husband had a laceration at the base of his thumb which required stitches, optimally within 6 hours of the injury. His situation was determined in triage to be the most critical of the aforementioned patients, which is why the doctor attended to him before the other people in the room, even though he was admitted after everyone else.

Thanks for your “concern” towards fellow Freepers, and you have a nice day.

You make a good point.

Voter participation by the newly “insured” might rise a bit, however.

Mostly, I'm concerned about the GOP strategy, which seems to be “do nothing, say nothing, let ObamaCare self-destruct, then, we will rake all the political chips off the table into our stack.”

I am not convinced that any national welfare plan will ever self-destruct in America, not with Boehner, Ryan, and McConnell in the GOP leadership anyway.
