I will wait for a non ratty spin story. But I think all Americans should have health care available. No matter what!

Spoken like a true conservative!

Someone should bookmark that one. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable over at DU?

This board is so funny sometimes.

They already do.

But it must be paid for.

Health care is available; the question is whether some people get their health care for free by making others pay for it.

Funny how people who claim that they "can't afford" health care (whine, sniff) can very well afford cable TV, dinners out, alcohol, lottery tickets and the like.

If either of these ridiculous prescription plans are adopted, yeah the seniors are going to have their drug prices go down. But, the drug companies are stupid to take the losses. They will just jack up prices on the rest of us.

Also, do you want the nation's health care system, how screwed up it is, to resemble Britain or Canada. In both and most nations whose governments control their health care systems completely people have to wait for months to recieve doctor's visits and other essential services. Also, these nations do not have the access to the latest treatments we do in this country. Our health care is not perfect, but it is the world's best.
( I don't hear about Americans going to Canada for heart-bypass surgery, but I hear about Canadians crossing the border for treatment all the time.)

Well bully for you! And I guess you think I should pay for it, too. I think all Americnas should have a new red Mustang convertable Can we get a government program for that?

Health care *IS* available. The cost of paperwork and litigation triples the cost of going to the doctor. Even so an office visit is what, about $80? The question is "does everyone deserve as a birthright the most complex and complete health care we can invent". Remember medical science hasn't stopped, and as long as there is a market more and more high end treatments will continue to come out. MRIs are a good example. I don't see the logical case for this claim on my liberty. You must surrender an ever increasing amount of dollars to pay for health care for others because we, the collective, say so. Sounds very socialist to me. Not at all conservative.
