President Barack Obama said "early on" the GOP decided to oppose health care reform so Democrats wouldn't have a victory and to win 2010 midterm elections.

oddly enough if the dems pass this health care crap it help the repubs win next year.
That means that the health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to get health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others.
It may not be stated in any of the bills that patient's rights to care supersede a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to care.
Weiners view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. His view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.
TITLE IQUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?
It’s real simple, Obama. The people don’t want government run healthcare.
No bambi, stopping dems is just a fringe benefit. We really do not want socialism, but I can see why you think we might what with so many socialist RINO’s out and about.
“President Barack Obama said “early on” the GOP decided to oppose health care reform so Democrats wouldn’t have a victory and to win 2010 midterm elections”
Mommy Mommy!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Obama and the Dems are their own worst enemies.
It would never occur to them that the American people oppose this on principle, nah...they're just trying to screw us (Dems) out of re-election.
no death panels?

Remember when the little Caesar tried to make our wounded warriors pay for their own medical needs resulting from war injuries - use their private insurance? that got blown out of the water fast - but dont think for a minute they wont sneak it - and a lot more - back in if they get this 1000+ page behemoth passed.
You’re TOTALLY right Obama! The public is just screaming and begging for this reform. We can’t wait, please save us? You don’t need those nasty ole republicans. This idea is SO popular, if you pass it without their support you’ll see nothing but victory after victory from here on out!
Promise.
Gawd, does the man never stop whining or lying?
I agree.
Excellent post!
The Republicans should concentrate on ‘Value Creation’ (see Mackey Whole Foods for instance). The Consumer directly involved with the Insurance Companies demanding ‘Value’!
The Democrats or ‘Progressives’ perpetuate the ‘Value Capture’ system or ‘Stealing from each other’! The “progressives” don’t realize yet that ‘They have run out of our Money!’.
Gone Galt!
The list, ping
The Republicans don’t have enough votes to even slow the Dems down.
It’s the Dems who have the problem.
