I despise Obama care. I want it gone!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Really? Why? What is it doing for your child that you don’t want done, or what is it not doing for your child that you want done?
If you don’t answer anything else I’ve asked here, you can just answer this question, because it will tell me all I really need to know about you and your position here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just have real life experience with a pre-existing condition and I want people to realize some truths about them before they spout off with opinions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pre-existing conditions: So do lots of other people here and everywhere, me included.
I’ve never asked the taxpayer to finance care for any of my problems.
The one thing I saw a lot of before health INSURANCE became a HUMAN RIGHT (and thus a Constitutional right) was fund-raising. This option is now so easy with online options it’s unreal. Back when I saw it, people would hold events and even put jars on local store counters to collect money.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think it’s the least you can do when your solution is to tell people to just go ahead and die!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unless you’re talking about specific posters here (who may or may not have been sarcastic), this is the brainwashing line that is being fed to the LIVs by the leftist press.
“THE REPUBLICANS JUST WANT YOU TO DIIIIEEEEE!!”
The people pushing this propaganda are the same ones showing Republican politicians pushing Grandma off a cliff.

(Hint: In this ad they talk about Medicare. Medicare does NOT pay for medical INSURANCE. It pays medical BILLS. Conflation and confusion, as I hinted above, are the hallmarks of leftist brainwashing.)
Now, as far as your FreeRepublic bona fides go, let’s take a look at one of your previous posts in this thread:

To me, it’s morally wrong to say abortion is wrong, but if you are born with a medical condition, once you age off your parents insurance, you are condemned to die. At that point, abortion looks like the more compassionate choice! Is that who we really are as conservatives?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abortion is wrong, full stop.
You have a problem saying that?
And that last sentence of yours, “Is that who we really are as X”, that’s straight from Obama’s mouth.

No conservative I know of would try to convince anybody with an unironically delivered Obama line. That’s more along the line of the “concern” troll, like the REGULAR ORDINARY CITIZENS who only show up at town hall meetings of Republican politicians to browbeat them about healthcare and other things that are not illegal immigration, funding of Planned Parenthood, or more jobs.
Obamacare has done nothing for me or my daughter. We have been fortunate enough to have TriCare coverage from my husband’s time in the military. However, I think Obamacare was bad policy.
My biggest concern with Obamacare has been that I can too easily imagine death panels, hiding behind policy, of course. Eventually, my daughter will age off our insurance, and she’ll be stuck with what ever is out there. I want it to be good for her sake.
And, my statement about abortion was to another poster who did suggest that the sick among could just die. But, just so you see that I’m putting my money where my mouth is, my daughter with the medical condition is adopted, from a situation where there was a lot of pressure to abort her. I didn’t say what I said lightly! It’s extremely personal to me, as is seeing some system in place for medical care for people with conditions like my daughter has.
If I inadvertently used the same words Obama used, well, he’s probably said, “Pass the salt” too. Doesn’t mean I agree with his policies at all. And believe me, I have plenty of conservative street cred!
