The health care bill is so wonderful that all the members of congress and the senate can't wait to sign themselves up for it.

It's such a wonderful plan that they have to ram it through before anyone has a chance to really read it.

lol. This is a thread about Palin, right? Why is it turning into something about Obama? Why not let us know what she's doing that's so wonderful, Spider?


That's sort of a hypocritical stance.

"Hey! Hands off Obama! We don't care if he's qualified to be POTUS!!!! Now what qualifies Sarah Palin to be VP?"

Running a state is nothing compared to voting "present" in the Senate.

no, you proved nothing as usual. you regurgitated information like a good little boy and didn't bother to read the data...again.

Look at the column titled "responsiveness." As a whole, that level for the US is #1. That means we have the best designed system implemented for medical response (dignity, autonomy, confidentiality, communication, prompt attention, access to social support networks during care, quality of basic amenities, and choice of provider are the different sections judged). that is more important to me than everyone having healthcare. I'd rather know that when something has to be done that it can be done.

So because healthcare is not 100% distributed, we lost points on the test. Try reading what you post sometime and don't just give a list of numbers.

If you'd like more info at why our health sucks, read up a few pages to my response to Fanta. Health in america is not a failure of the system, it is a failure in all of us.


The trouble with your position is that the entire electorate isn't 26, single with no children on what I'm guessing is a government-sponsored student loan program and no experience what a wrenching experience having to go through a major illness is all about. I'm betting you don't have ANY insurance, either, because then you'd know what COBRA really costs.

I could be wrong, but I'm also guessing your whole plan vis-a-vis your own personal healthcare is I'm Not Ever Going To Get Sick.

Have you been to an ER lately on a Saturday night? Unless you're brought in by an Advanced Life Support unit, you'll wait what seems like an eternity and have to pay over $1000 for the 'privilege'.

Do you know what it's like to be stuck between an insurance company and a provider who double-billed for the same procedure? Have you ever been threatened with a collection agency because your insurance company was a habitual foot-dragger because some MBA figured out they could save millions leaving the billions in premiums simmer a little longer in the investment market while they hang you out to dry? Had the provider miscode your procedures and have your insurance company refuse to pay them, leaving YOU to straighten our the mess while the provider declares your records are private and even YOU can't see them without a court order?

See, it's my opinion that you don't know any of this stuff because you just don't believe it can happen to you.

I was only a little older than you when I had my first bad episode. My age caused the internist to discount the possibility of what turned out to be the correct diagnosis.

Cold hard fact- it CAN happen to you or somebody you love at any time and you'll find out all to quickly how your fellow libertarians will abandon you in your time of need like a leper that's costing them money.


-Kerry O.


You believe that things will be better with the government in control? You should go to an IRS office and sit for hours for the "privelege" of giving them money. You must really enjoy wasting hours at the DMV office. The postal service can't even read well enough to insure that the mail ends up at the correct address. Government run health care is going to be sooooooooooooooo much better.

It is sad to see the number of people willing to become slaves in exchange for the promise of a couple of "freebies."


It is not freebies, it is caring for the people who live in this country. It should have been happening all along.

No slavery involved in taking care of each other.


When you are forced to "care" for others by the government, that is slavery.


It's shameful is what it is.
It's shameful not to voluntarily show humanity and compassion.



What is shameful is the people that expect the government to fix the problems in their lives. Even more pathetic are the people that believe the government CAN fix the problems in their lives.

It is optional. You can stop paying taxes and live with the consequences.

If people are truly American and patriotic, they should be proud to pay taxes because that is our way of paying into our country every day.


So, you believe that people should suffer the consequences of their actions.

Suppose someone goes out and has unprotected sex and an unwanted pregnancy or an STD such as AIDS is the result. Because of nationalized health care, I will be forced to help pay for an abortion or for the care of someone with an STD. Why am I now suffering the consequences of someone else's irresponsible choices?

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." ~~Margaret Thatcher


Considering we will never see socialism here that statement is irrelavant to us.


Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US , Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."

It is not forced, it is our responsibility.


I must have missed the press release stating that paying taxes is optional.

It's not the place, it's the person.

Some people can up and move and do as well or better than before they moved. Some people can't seem to make it no matter where they are.

It isnt given to the nation, It is given to an individual. I dont know all the criteria for the award, but from what I have read, and seen, OBama did much to unite people around the Globe, which could be considered quite a success in the name of PEACE.


Yassir Arafat was the poster child for peace when he received it.

When I was in jr. high school, we were heading for another ice age.

When I was in high school, killer bees from South America were going to wipe out a majority of the population of the US.

In the 80's, the ozone layer was disappearing and that was going to cook most of us.

Liberals aren't happy unless they have something to panic over.

We tried this amnesty crap 20 some odd years ago. That was supposed to "fix" the problem of illegal immigrants. It "fixed" the problem so well that we have to "fix" the problem again. Why make new laws or pass new bills when we don't enforce the laws that are already in place.

What program has the government ever run successfully?

Calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented worker is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

So that's where you get all the Obama hate propaganda.

Talk about unbiased sources. LMAO

Obama supports the 2007 bill to give legal status to Illegal Immigrants who have been in America for years anyway.

It's not outright Amnesty, it won't be free, and it won't open the doors wider for more illegals.

It will fix a broken system that enables millions to remain undocumented both to the tax system and the law enforcement agencies.

It wont be like the one passed by Bush senior many years ago.
I supported the 2007 bill (I read it) and I'll support this one.
Even Bush was for the bill.

Let's don't twist the truth by using one liners designed to arouse anger.





The last bill that was passed to "fix the system" has worked so well that we need to do it again. How about enforcing the laws that are already in place.

Ya' beat me to it. I was working on putting mine together.
I decided to skip all the whining and just put up her criminal actions.


Seems to me if you were right and Obama was for granting amnesty to illegals, he would start with his family.

Appears your accusations and innuendos are incorrect.


He didn't win the election by being so obvious about his agenda.
