I do not put much weight in polls, particularly that of Rassmussen. They are known to have a bias.
this made me Lol! :mrgreen:
I currently live without health care, and i like it. Don't have to both with premiums, yah know?I want socialist healthcare. I lived without healthcare for years, and it was awful.
I fully favor complete universal health care plan.
All those sick people live in a universe, so they can use their own damn money to get better.
All those machine gun toting bleeding hearts should donate their own money to help them if they want to prove how much they care.
Nothing can be fairer than that.
A healthcare system based on a "for profit" corporate insurance base makes absolutely no sense.
Why is for profit health care a problem?
Taxes will go up to pay for Obama's plan.They are using there own damn money. People that opt for a public plan does pay taxes and will also have to PAY for their insurance. You are aware of this right?

Translation: profits are evil, and anyone who does something for money is not to be trusted; best line those greedy pigs up against the wall and shoot them now.The entire concept is flawed from the premise. Think about it logically for one second. Unless the corporation is altruistic (and tell me one corporation that is)....it is in the corporations interest to deny services in order to maximize their profits.
Why would you want a system where a company makes more profit by denying services?

(and then piss, moan, groan, and whine like a lost schoolgirl because no one is left to provide the "services" you "need".)
Wow, that was responsive and illuminating.Your interpretation is consistent with your extremist views. Enough said.
Wow, that was responsive and illuminating.
So tell me how you think I am wrong.....if you can.
So long, sparky....but you didn't answer the question, now did you? tsk tsk tsk:naughtyBecause your extremist interpretation of my post is consistent with your extremist interpretion of pretty much everyone's posts that you disagree with. Goodbye.
I think to simply categorise a nation's method for providing health care for it's citizenry as capitalist or socialist is a very narrow manner of handling the core issues at stake. For instance, the moment an avarage American hears the word 'socialism' being banded together with healthcare, automatically alarm bells are set; one begins to imagine the United States healthcare going the 'soviet' or 'cuban' direction! Why! this is a highly charged ideological term that accomplishes little more than panic. That said, isn't it true that NO ECONOMIC SYSTEM ON THE PLANET IS 100% CAPITALIST NOT EVEN THE OL' US of A's! Now, why don't we call all such economies, the US included, socialist? The fact is, what Obama wants to introduce is a mixed healthcare service even as the America economy, itself, is a mixed economy and I feel to shoot down his concept on the basis of ideological definitions is unfair, to say the least. It's obvious, from the 48 million plus Americans not covered by medicare currently, that the present health delivery structure has major failings and that injections of fresh ideas into the system would be most beneficial. If anything, health is too vital a public issue to leave in the hands of entreprenuers solely.

Why would you want a system where a company makes more profit by denying services?
Additionally....the corporation maximizes its profits by insuring only the "healthy" leaving those with pre-existing conditions no option.
Then, in order to maximize profits, the corporation will look for every possible loophole to deny coverage, deny services and to cancel the policy if at all possible when the "healthy" insured becomes ill.
