McCain: GOP willing to start over on health care (snatching defeat from the jaws of victory)

Hey Juan McCain - you can also go out and push Gay marriage with your wife and dopey daughter. Go to he*l MCCain.

Go eat some cheese.

Surrender Monkey McCain!

Where’s that link to contribute to Hayworth again?

‘”There are many things we can do,” McCain suggested.’

“There are many things we can do,” McCain suggested.

What a fool. He’s trying to drag Republicans into supporting a total debacle that the country has already demonstrated at the polls it does not want.

No, McCain. Tort reform first, then we’ll discuss heathcare. If that’s even necessary at that point, as tort reform is one of the major drivers of healthcare costs.

We have a war going on and there’s like 20% unemployment and the country is dead broke. Give it a rest would you?

Oh geez not this again. Please McQueeg just go away.

McCain: GOP willing to start over on health care

Somebody put the muzzle on this SOB. Please!

Otherwise, he's gonna give it away.

I don’t mind healthcare legislation as long as it includes tort reform and portability. And the Fedgov keeps it’s damn hands out of the cookie jar.

Better for the Republicans to get the message out that there are market-based reforms they’d like to see, so I’m okay with McCain’s mention of tort reform and inter-state portability and tax leveling. What I don’t like is the ‘outcome based’ healthcare, which is counterproductive government meddling that would give providers a perverse incentive to give care to the healthy and avoid the sick.

Tons of Pubs are making bipartisan noises right now. This is all a ploy. It gives them the chance to talk the talk without having to walk the walk, because there’s no way in hell the Dims are going to do anything at all in a bipartisan fashion.

When the Dims continue to do their secret closed-door thing, the Pubs will shrug their shoulders and say “We tried. We aren’t the bad guys, they are. We offered to work with them and they still tried to govern in secret. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan

Party A or party B? We are deluding ourselves if we think we can win this fight in the ballot box.

Rabs-you just posted this to 'bash' former Gov Palin and you know it /S

The R’s tried this at the beginning, but the arrogant Dems, since they didn’t need the votes, rejected any cooperation and reached for the Progressive “brass ring.” They missed...

I ain't no skoller or nuttin, butt isn't the US Constitushun based on states rites an all that?

Wat if warshinton takes over an controlz every thin like health care?

Isn't this just another loss of states rights via the Constitution?

PROOF RomneyCARE is a Disaster (and Romney and McCain are utterly clueless)

“Mr. Romney's subsidized coverage is meanwhile doing what entitlements do: crowding
out private insurers, compounding the cost explosion, walking the state toward rationing.
So long as the former governor clings to these central points of his health plan, he's on
the wrong side of free-market policy and public opinion.

This isn't going away for Mr. Romney either, which is why he'd do better by writing off
his own plan as a mistake that Democrats have made worse, and replacing it with a
proposal that deregulates and reforms the private market to lower insurance costs
(thereby achieving greater coverage).”

"Paying the Health Tax in Massachusetts [Romneycare]
Massachusetts requires every resident to have health insurance, and this
year, without informing us directly, the state had changed the rules in a way that made
our bare-bones policy no longer acceptable. Unless we ponied up for a pricier policy we
neither need nor want—or enrolled in a government-sponsored insurance plan—we
would have to pay $1,000 each year to the state.
How did we become outlaws? “

They're trying to manage the huge costs of the subsidized middle-class insurance program that is gradually swallowing the state budget.
The program provides low- or no-cost coverage to about 165,000 residents, or three-fifths of the newly insured, and is budgeted at $880 million for 2010, a 7.3% single-year increase that is likely to be optimistic.

Health care in Massachusetts: a warning for America [Romney brings Mass. to its knees]
The Bay State's mandatory insurance law is raising costs, limiting access, and lowering care.
Three years ago, Massachusetts adopted a plan requiring all residents to purchase health
insurance, with state subsidies for lower-income residents. But rather than creating a
utopia of high-quality affordable healthcare, the result has been the exact opposite –
skyrocketing costs, worsened access, and lower quality care."
