HEY LOU- Question for ya Buddy - Health Care Mandatory or you go to Prison. Nancy's rules. How you gonna pay for it with no job and no income big guy?? Also, did you know Hitler during his fun and games times, imprisoned everybody that was getting unemployment, so the government wouldn't have to pay it! SEE any Parallels here??? So you go to ER, how would you like to pay for this sir, Aahh, I don't have insurance, we'll pay cash, can you send me the bill? No insurance? Wait one moment please. (While they are dispatching law Enforcement to handcuff you and carry you off as a No Pay.) REALITY is here.

Too bad it made it thru the First Step- It's not going to make it though. Now that SATHERS Candy is laying-off and SWIFT soon to cut tons of workers, nobody's going to have money for any doctors or insurance. Sign up for WELFARE!

Ed, you got your wish, the Health Care Takeover was voted in on Sat. night while few people were watching, hope you are happy. now that everyone who feels we are all entitled to everything is going to get it, I hope you have a great paying job to provide it for them. as for me, I am going to begin to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. in the end, nobody better knock on my door looking for a handout, if you want something, you better be willing to work for it or be willing to die trying to take it from me.

Ed, Mike is not the one lacking intelligence - you are. Mike has done his research on the health care plan. Obviously you have not. Obama's health care plan is a prime example of socialism. You think that his universal health care plan means everyone is entitled to free health care, period. WRONG. His plan says that abortions will be funded by the government for all women, I have to take the government plan or be taxed, and I could go on and on.

I.O.W.A. (if you know what I mean,laugh a little) says it all. anyway, when has the gov't ever done anything efficiently or for the betterment of the citizens. all of the programs they have started that were supposed to be temporary, have become permanent money pits. let's start a revolution, less gov't, more "We the People"

Ed, I think you got this one wrong. Anything government run is in shambles. Why would you even consider trusting them to manage your health care?

I forgot to mention Ed, the Mayo Clinic has come out AGAINST govt health care. Also there are countless articles about prayer helping a patient recover. Do a Google search on doctors and prayer, it may surprise you. The point I'm trying to make Ed is whenever govt tries to run a program it becomes wrought with fraud, more tax, and becomes an umanagable monster.

Ed, show me where the govt is doing anything to cure the diseases you named. Most cures come from doctors and scientists working privately through grants. Here are a few of the programs govt is in charge of.......social security (broke), medicare/medicaid (fraud fraud fraud) welfare (need I say anything) IRS (loop holes that the average person can't use) shall I go on Ed? The only thing the govt should be doing right now is protecting our country and borders. How they doing?
