    Sentenced to death on the NHS

    If we look at real survey data (as opposed to partisan message board opinions), we'll find that Americans, Canadian, and the British all rate the quality of their health care nearly the same. In fact, according to Gallop, more Britains are somewhat dissatisfied or highly dissatisfied with the...

    Sentenced to death on the NHS

    You could just as easily argue that it's amusing for foreigners to tell Americans who like their own system (thank you very much) that they don't know what they're talking about. You could argue that it's amusing for people who benefit from the drugs, treatments, and medical advances exported...

    Sentenced to death on the NHS

    It's funny how this argument of expenditure gets turned around in the health care debate. Supporters of big government generally measure the effectiveness of their programs by how much is spent. Want to improve education? Increase budgets and devote more resources! Spend more per child...

    Sentenced to death on the NHS

    And yet your original post still stands for all to see... What you and other socialized medicine advocates do is rather like car salesmen who advertise to sell vehicles 'interest free.' It's a gimmick that sounds great on its face. Of course when we read the fine print we realize that we'll...

    Sentenced to death on the NHS

    I'm not buying it, sorry. People who advocate government programs often view government services as 'free services.' This is a large part of the appeal. It's 'free.' These folks also make the mistake of assuming that government programs are free of 'profit motive.' Anyone who understands...

    Sentenced to death on the NHS

    This is probably the most fundamental misconception about socialized health care... that it's free. When the poster begins her argument with such a basic error, why even read on? :2wave:

    Do white people care how black women wear their hair?

    I'm not offended so much by ethnic hair-styles as by ethnic language distortions... By boyfriend didn't axe me to the dance so I hit him upside the head with a frying pan. :doh

    Obama's approval rating at 45%

    Garbage. I live in a solid Red state. My vote changed nothing one way or the other. It certainly did not 'help elect' Obama. The electoral votes from my state went to his opponent. So no, I had zero role in electing Obama. And yes... I'm perfectly okay with my vote. :2wave:

    Obama's approval rating at 45%

    True. Last year was the first election in which I wrote in a candidate. I held my nose and voted before. Never again. :cool:

    Obama's approval rating at 45%

    People vote for the least unappealing of the two candidates. Always. Jimmy Carter was a disaster and was voted out overwhelmingly after one term. Clinton and Bush were both average presidents who managed to hold on to second terms because they were just slightly more appealing than the...

    Obama's approval rating at 45%

    People elected him because the alternative wasn't as appealing. It's as simple as that. Every election boils down to a choice between two alternatives. Considering how absolutely unappealing the GOP ticket was this go-round, ANY democrat nominated would have won. Policies had very little to...

    Obama's approval rating at 45%

    You don't have to search far to find the hype... how about this nugget from Time's Man of the Year article! Obama 'upended our politics?' How? By defeating yet another moderate, relatively unpopular, aging, and (yes) crippled GOP war hero who made without a doubt the most disturbing VP...

    How satisfied are you with your health insurance provider?

    Being a 'complete dick' is a great description of the liberal mindset. They fancy themselves as the smart set, yet then casually spit out inanities such as the U.S. is a 'barbaric' society and that profit motive destroys health care. I suppose that in the civilized French and British...

    I Don't Have Health Insurance-And I'm Not Getting It

    In other words, you're pissed off because this guy chooses to pay for his own health 'care' with cash, rather than paying to keep YOUR 'insurance premium' lower by participating in an optional insurance pool. Why should your self-interest trump his self-interest? :2wave:

    Obama to hike 10-year deficit to $9 trillion
