ah well so can almost every other american. the bill AFAIK was to help even the playing field and to have low income families and people get healthcare, under this bill they still cant. Nearly every american can walk into a hospital and get free treatment, the people that have to pay for it, still have to after this bill

your point was that i should leave if i dont conform to your idea of america? that sounds like pretty much the opposite of what america is about, democracy and having control over the government. i vote for what id like to see. not leave when its going a direction i dont like.

You guys need to realize that there is no way to have intelligent conversaton on this topic. Neither of you are experts in the healthcare industry and neither of you have anything new to say. Shut the fuck up please.

No, I could contribute my opinion if I wanted to, but I don't know enough about the topic and the minute details of the healthcare industry to say something that I know is true.  You both are basically spouting off liberal and conservative buzzlines that you have contorted into something that seems different and insightful. If you really want to have an educated opinion on the topic, do some real research on how healthcare works and how people pay for it currently. I mean real research, don't go to foxnews.com or msnbc and quote some opinion piece and cite it as fact. Then you can have some real conversation without getting in a shitfit with some other ignorant person.

Until then you are just armchair quarterbacking.

I'm all for health care reform, I just wish we were doing something like Medicare for All. There's still a chance they can get the finalized bill to allow states to setup single-payer systems which is the best bet for real reform in my opinion.

I presume that you are referring to sales taxes which go to state and local government. Typically they are put to things like keeping school class sizes smaller, or roads, or a number of other things.
Now you dont pay property tax or income tax so stop fucking whining YOUR tax dollars are not going to this new health bill.

And we arent taxed on food. That why I prefer to buy food at a market and cook it myself. I saves at a minimum 7.5 percent a year for me

And to be honest I was joking about the fat thing I would hope that on a forum dedicated to an outdoor sport like skiing that no one would be fat.

No one should have to go without health care and no one should ever be denied due to preexisting conditions Period. Im in a situation that I'm only about a year away from needing to get my own insurance and I could pay for it on my own. But the way the system works I would be denied due to the fact I have pre existing conditions.

Ever hear the say "if you dont have your health you have nothing" it very true. I'm willing to pay more so others can have even a fraction of the quality of life I enjoy.

And I think its funny that republicans politicians are so against health care reform but many of them call them selfs "christians". What would jesus do? Well he probably would say stop being greedy and help your fellow man. Crazy isnt it

no, you see, people here just say "stupid" and "fag" when im trying to have a real conversation. of course there is going to be friction in ur ideas, but almost all of these nsers just follow what their parents think, and have no opinion of their own. this is why you cannot have a political conversation in a thread on this website

Good post. Its sad that there is no longer intelligent debate to be found anywhere. Instead of facts people would rather throw around logical fallacies then to admit that they have no evidence to back what they say up.

WOWZERSZZ AMERICA IS NOW MAYBE 12TH BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO  LIVE IN. LETS GO WHINE ABOUT THAT.

You know that not all socialist countries have to be like China or Russia. Norway is Social Democratic and we're rated the best country in the world to live in.

its too bad in this debate that your opinion doesn't mean shit. You aren't an expert in this field and therefore what you are saying is useless blab that you heard on the news.

So much bullshit on each side, nothing good ever gets done. Lets hate the dem or rep, they both suck these days.

healthcare reform is heading for fail, just like everything other government intervention.

it's spelled 'you're.'

i have a job, and pay taxes, and go to a private college, and pay for it by myself, nor am i an american, that is obese, getting free government checks for lipo, therefore i don't cost you a dime.

third of all. i'm going to aim low, but do you really think that ugly comments make me feel bad when they come from this?


newsflash. if you need to know how fat i am, pm my boyfriend. i'm sure he'll set your dumb ass straight.

I beg to differ there could be intelligent posts but then 5 yr olds fuck these topics up......privatization of health care like the American system only benefits the different medical insurance companies....but then the system in Canada benefits all but is not as well funded and is beginning to fail a little

dont you know when to stop? last time i saw you sharing the stream of shit you call an opinion, you thoroughly illustrated that you have no fucking clue what youre talking about. i cant believe you even let yourself be seen in political threads anymore. please grow a brain before talking again on the subjects and potentially convincing unsuspecting kids on this board that there is even one shred of truth in what you say

fair enough but while we're at it i thought i should tell you with all due respect that you should maybe take it easy on the sarcasm/trolling. when people believe you and respond what youre doing is having a fight with someone who agrees with you. plus people who are stupid can read your posts, think youre serious, and have their stupid opinions reinforced
