Democrats adopt goal of health care guarantee
Updated: Aug 9, 2008 04:57 PM EDT

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Democrats have shaped a platform that commits the party to guaranteed health care for all.

The adoption of that plank Saturday in Pittsburgh headed off a potentially divisive debate and brought the party closer to the position held by defeated presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Barack Obama, likely to be the Democratic nominee, has stopped short of proposing to mandate health coverage for all. He aims to achieve something close to universal coverage by making insurance more affordable and helping families pay for it.

...making insurance more affordable and helping families pay for it.

Can it be run like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sosha Security? Please?

This means “assisted suicide” will also be guaranteed in the Party of Death’s platform.

Did they invite RINO's to sign onto the deal also?

national healthcare will push our credit limit to the breaking point and no one will buy our paper

[goldstategop]

How will this wonderful health care be "guaranteed?" And who will foot the bill for it? Its idiocy masquerading as feel good populism.

I agree with you...The bottom line is “they will control you”.

[goldstategop]

You mean like in the UK and Canada? Its lost on our Left that at the same time they want the federal government to take over one seventh of our nation's economy, both the UK and Canada are moving to privatize parts of their state-run health care systems!

Equal miserable care for all, except the rich ... Who knew Democrats were Marxists first, Americans second. And all along, I thought ...

I guess health care rationing is coming to America.

Its not going to go that well at first, Americans aren’t used to the concept like the Europeans are.

I don’t think a majority of those who think this is a good idea really know what is in store for us.

And the sickest among us will be the most hated sooner rather than later.......

[SECURE AMERICA]

(Democrats have shaped a platform that commits the party to guaranteed health care for all.)

Where in the Constitution does it garuantee citizens Government Health care.
Where in the Constitution does it authorize the Federal Government to take money from opne citizen to pay for anopther citizens health care?
Can the Democrat Party get any further from being American then they have in the past couple of years?

More of the Hillary “Comeback Kid” infrastructure being laid?

It will cost far more to implement, and be far less than you can buy now. The entire concept of socialized medicine is a sham. Their definition of “health care” and our present definition are not even close.

Get ready to see alot of people die, or suffer greatly due to poor medical attention.

Liberal-socialism lives!

[ronnie raygun]

The reason we have the best of anything in this country is because of COMPETATIVENESS, with this gone, in steps third worldism

[rbg81]

Lets see:

— Social Security + Disability
— Medicare/Medicaid
— Bailouts for irresponsible banks and financial institutions
— National Healthcare
— Reparations (first to descendents of slaves, eventually to everyone who isn’t White).
— Rights to housing, job, and pensions.

Having everything free is sure expensive. The rest of the world may soon tire of ponying up for our socialist fantasies.

Dem socialist medicine is morphing into a welfare program.
