There will come a day — mark my words — when we simply WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS.

Has it not occured to you yet that the day of which you speak is already here?

I'm sure you understand that the funds to pay for the new socialized healthcare system in the US do not exist now, cannot be borrowed at a decent interest rate, and that the US cannot even keep up with the interest payments on the debt it has now, right?

Further, in order to remain "solvent" (or give the appearence of being so), the US will continue to print money (thereby increasing inflation) and borrow at unfavorable rates. This will - in a short time - ruin the country completely.

To reverse this trend, at least the new socialized healthcare system would have to be privatized.

But guess how many folks that would leave without their "govt paid for or govt subsidized" healthcare? Oh...I erred. I didn't mean to use the term "folks"; I meant to use the term VOTER.

Does anyone think for a skinny little minute that these "folks" will vote for anyone who wants to take away their healthcare - regardless of the moral/ethical/common sense reason(s) given?????

Just try running for votes based on the repeal of SocSec, or Medicare, or Medicaide....and now Socialized Medicine.

No, my friend...the day of which you speak has already dawned....

We certainly are going to be living through some interesting times, aren't we? Excuse me, I need to go buy more emergency food and ammo to go with my current stockpiles.

It's trivial. People are (as we speak) being denied coverage under Obamacare, section 1151.

Medicare recipients are being denied follow-up treatment within 30 days of an initial consult: even in the case of complications.

And Congress has placed that section of the law outside judicial review.

Personal experience beats your Axelrod/Pfouffe/Emmanuel talking points EVERY day.

(Hint: Obama is at -26% among INDEPENDENTS. And people vote the economy. What good is healthcare from the Dept. of Motor Vehicles when you don't have a job.)

(Hint 2: participation in most elections is 50%, and Obama already got 95% of the black vote. He's tapped out that resource, and the GOP has hardly touched the non-voters who are fed up with Communism.)

Nice try though, troll-boy.

Yeah it has, but I’m a naive optimist. So sue me. :-)
