And the one thing liberals are doing to prove they care about our troops is complain about Walter Reed.
HA!!! A perfect example of government-run healthcare!!!
Liberals just say whatever, don't they???
It may sound like a good idea to a lot of people.
But I don't understand how the "conversion" is supposed to work?
Does the government SEIZE all the assets currently held by the corporations/shareholders/individuals in the healthcare industry? Or does the government buy every healthcare business at fair market value? Either way, it spells disaster for the economy.
Will all the Dr's and healthcare workers be drafted and converted to employees of the Fed gov't?
Wasn't that the reason Hillarycare failed? - because people realized the logistical and financial impossibility of the idea?
How about everything for everyone. Oh wait. That doesn't leave anyone to be looted...er, taxed.
I always asked those who push single payer this. Does their plan reimburse stockholders of health insurance companies for their shares? And if so at fair market price before the take over or after?
Their faces always go white and get this stunned look. It's priceless.
Muscatine is famous for its melons.
It really concerns me that far too many sheeple appear to be more supportive of this crap nowadays than when Hitlery first brought up the idea. I'm starting to worry that it's inevitable, as Boortz seems to think.
"Following his discharge from the army in February 1919, Fitzgerald asked Zelda to marry him, but she was reluctant to commit herself because of his lack of money and prospects. To improve them, he joined his literary friends from Princeton in New York. With a sheaf of stories under his arm, he made the rounds of the city's newspapers in search of a job as a reporter so he could "trail murderers by day and do short stories by night." No one was impressed. Fitzgerald took a position as a $90-a-month copywriter at an advertising agency, less than his army pay. His biggest success was a slogan for the Muscatine Steam Laundry in Muscatine, Iowa: "We keep you clean in Muscatine." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0641/2003046001-s.html

And this after an Ivy League education. College doesn't always prepare you for life.
Zelda would have done them both a favor to have broken off the relationship right then.
He's just repeating what he learned from 12 years of leftist public school.
FREE HEALTHCARE ain't FREE..
The taxpaying part of the US also has no idea how long it's going to take to see a Doctor if we get "Free" health care.
There will be so many Dr.'s retiring and so many non-taxpaying citizens clogging up the remaining Dr.'s it will be pathetic.
But for those with white liberal guilt and a stack of money doing nothing else but paying for carbon offsets, I guess they won't suffer too much. They'll have private health care not offered to the rest of the masses. And thats all that really matters anyway. /s
I just read a book about the American writers of the 1920's. They were a bunch of dysfunctional people, but far more talented than the writers today.
Fitzgerald was not much of a student at Princeton. His spelling was horrible throughout life. Zelda's lover in France became a military hero.
Fitzgerald wasted most of his talent, but "The Great Gatsby" remains one of the best, if not the best American novel of the 20th century.
I vote Tolkien as the best writer in English of the 20th century.
