Golly, what can I say? I guess a swing voter should never venture into this forum. I came here in good faith and was called a socialist and a communist and a troll. Thanks a lot guys. I just wanted to talk.

There were some serious answers in there.

Trial lawyers and lawsuits are driving doctors out of the business.

Fewer providers and more customers means higher prices

Government mandates and regulations that make the insurance more expensive. A single guy is not going to need coverage for a hysterectomy. But government mandated it be covered and he has no choice. $$$$$ Its expensive to cover everything and without choices a lot of peiople choose to do without.

John Kerry wants more lawsuits, more mandates and more regulations

Kerry is BAD medicine.

Swing voter, my.... foot. The only place you don't swing is in the voting booth punching those "D"s.

Would this qualify as an 'Opus'?

Can I get ruling?

Thanks a lot guys. I just wanted to talk.

So talk already. Hey, did you know Kerry was in Vietnam?

[nopardons]

Then TALK! You've posted exactly THREE times,to a thread YOU started.

Socialized medicine is SOCIALISM and you whinge about being called a SOCIALIST?

What we need is to allow insurance companies and customers to be able to mold a policy to fit each individual. We need to stop the crazy lawsuits, mandates and regulations that harm doctors, companies and especially patients. We need less government interference and intrusion into the healthcare system.

You can say what you want as long as it conforms to the stated posting guidelines. What you've already said is informative and over the course of your posting history you'll make or break it on your own. As it is, judging by your words on the health insurance issue, you're leaning heavily to Socialism. Maybe you'll stay and learn why that is.

On the contrary, swing voters are most welcome. Shills, communists/socialists and trolls should never venture into this forum. Threads like this happen to them.
At this point in time you're, as a "newbie", suspect. Lots of folks are intent on, for a lack of a better word, infiltrating, this forum. That is why you're catching heat.
Stick it out or flee. This is, pretty much, a free for all and you'll either sink or swim on your own. Consider this your initiation. Most of us went through it.
As to your "good faith" that is yet to be determined.
Thanks a lot guys. I just wanted to talk.
And I'm doing just that aren't I? Don't get daunted by it all, grow some thicker skin and stick around or flee...your call. One thing is for sure, you need to express your views more distinctly or you will be hounded.
As many have said, government sponsored health care is nothing more than encroaching socialism.

You must have missed this:

Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web.

Conservatism, get it?
