Free healthcare for all!

How awesome.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Of course. Gimme gimme gimme and make the rich pay for it. 80 years of the Welfare State have turned us into a nation of moochers.

it should read Most Americans in an RAT over populated sample voted for it...

The Demonrat party should change its name to the Dole party. And I don’t mean Bob Dole.

LOL, did anyone read this? People want an expansion of Medicare “UNLESS IT RESULTS IN INCREASED COSTS IN THEIR OWN STATE”

So no one will want it because of course it will increase costs.

I do not understand this. Why is it most americans would favor expansion of Medicare but not favor ObamaCare? Why didn’t Obama just try to expand Medicare instead of pushing on the rope of obamacare?

"unless it means higher costs for their own state"

Looks like the Al-Reuters headline writer is a bit biased for Obamugabe.

A colossal health care company took a poll and it showed that most people approve of the fact that the gov't will give them more California and US taxpayer's money?

I am SHOCKED! (not)

Everyone wanting to sponge off of the government employees and other recipients of government incomes: those described as the mighty taxpayers of today. Terrible.

All medical subsidies and insurance rackets should be shut down. That would lower medical costs, although sadly, many would lose their bids to be among the Borg and live forever.

But socialist favored constituents—more in or linked to local governments (with federal funding) for one political party and more federal recipients for the other party. So we’ll continue the slide through the default process. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.

I hope all the progressive states immediately expand their Medicaid programs and advertise day and night about the expansion. Get all the illegals, slackers, criminals, and bottom feeders on the programs in those progressive states. I know I will end up paying for them through Federal taxes, but they will leave Texas and the other conservative states that refuse to expand Medicaid. The pluses for Texas and other states are overwhelming. Think about it. Unemployment, welfare, social services, policing, crime, etc., we will come out light years ahead if these takers move to the progressive states. But the biggest benefit of all is that they will leave. Don’t believe me, think to the 1970s when Mass. raised its welfare and social services handout and they were flooded with Puerto Ricans moving from NY to Mass because the freebies were better.

Well to start out, the Kaiser Foundation is anything but "non-partisan." They are on the far left fringe . . . think of them as a Moonbat Heritage Foundation.

Therefore the whole article begins with a lie. How reliable can the rest of the information be?

[upchuck]

Most Americans back the idea of extending health coverage to their low-income neighbors through the government's Medicaid program, unless it means higher costs for their own state...

Incredibly ignorant statement.

Medicaid is a state/federal system. ANY increase in system participation means automatic increases in the amount of funds the state must contribute.

And 67% of the people think this is a great idea? Lunatics!

[Don Corleone]

IOW those who aren’t paying for any of this “Free Stuff” now are all in favor of not paying for more of it to be given to those who aren’t paying for it either. Bizarro!
