DURHAM, N.C. — Uninsured Triangle residents said Monday that they eagerly await the overhaul of the nation's health care system. "It's just going to be like Christmas," said DeCarlo Flythe, who lost health coverage for his family when he was laid off almost three years ago. "It's going to be great. You know, no worries (about) the bills. We are going to go ahead and pay our co-pay and be alright."

We should have true universal health care, one that protects cats and dogs as well as people.

Goldfish too.

Or are you one of them goldfish haters...?

It's hard to get a good paying job when you're competing against a lot of younger folks. I'm gonna call Nancy Pelosi tomorrow and see if she will give me a ride to to the Mayo Clinic in her big ass jet so I can get some Botox treatments for my crows feet.

This guy either doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together or he has no idea about how government programs work in the real world.

He's one of those guys who thinks someone else will always pay his way.

A chart I saw recently showed an average actual daily cost of just over $10,000/day in California.

What about my pet sea bass, or do you have something against sea bass?

Well it’s time for a new bumper sticker: “Honk if I’m Paying for your Health Care” A hammer and sickle over Zero’s stupid symbol would be a fun extra too.

LOL thanks for tickling my funny bone!

This ranks up there with “Obama is going pay for my gas and mortgage.”

Because you are exempt with less that 50 employees. So i’m going 49. I’m not going to do any of this communism.

I love goldfish, especially when they swim upside down.

OH MY GOD!!! Does this remind anyone else of the book ‘1984’?

[brytlea]

Is it a delicious bass??

Playing the role of Santa Clause in this moving little vignette, it's YOU AND ME! Come on up and take a bow!

[CFIIIMEIATP737]

I’m praying for you.

Uh, to get below the 50 workers threshold?

[cherry]

out of work for 3 yrs....that tells you all you need to know.....

if people only knew how much white/black trash there is out there with oxycodone prescriptions scamming the system....

What about my pet sea bass, or do you have something against sea bass?

I do.

I blame my parents. They preferred sea violins.

“We should have true universal health care, one that protects cats and dogs as well as people.”

What about Hermit Crabs? While not affectionate and covered in fur like dogs and cats, they are still cute and loving in their own way. I’d hate to think you would be so cold and uncaring to exclude Hermit Crabs from the free universal health policies that will soon be handed out like Christmas presents.

Also, what about my nephews ant farm? Does each ant get some kind of coverage? Or just the colony as a whole?
