i hear you, tho i hope it's not most
there's a far more effective way to get across, in my opinion
it involves linking a lot
I'm not trying to insult anybody here. I really am not. But if you are regularly watching C-Span can I suggest you take up a hobby? Get outside more often? Go on a date? Seriously, I'm into politics and I have on occasion watched C-Span for an important vote or event. But "watching" C-Span regularly could be a cry for help!
Its interesting watching you defend a position of inaction towards one of the most serious problems facing America. All I hear from the right is "no" without any solutions to the problems.
For example, the Resurgent Republic poll showed voters support, by 70% to 23%, the ability to buy health insurance across state lines. They back proposals that would make it possible for workers to take their health insurance from job to job by 53% to 36%. And they believe frivolous lawsuits drive up health-care costs by 53% to 38%.
Other GOP initiatives—like allowing people to save more of their paychecks tax free for out-of-pocket medical expenses, and letting small businesses pool risk to get the same discounts that big companies get—are similarly popular. President Obama said after the midterm election results that "he'd be happy to consider . . . ideas for how to improve" health care. Fortunately, Republicans have a ready agenda with widespread public backing.

even linking is not always effective. Sometimes linking can be very selective.
Perhaps they assumed that if they ran away from health care reform, their chances of reelection would improve
Why ever it was, it didn't work out very well for most of them.
If the American public is so furious about insurers no longer being allowed to kick them off the registers when they get sick and/or discriminate against their preexisting conditions, then why isn't this reflected in any recent poll on the subject?
You end up paying either way, and there are far more controls to this payment if there are contributions by everyone. I'm sure you don't like that, but it's accurate.
Some of us with money believe in a certain amount of social services.
That's accurate. I haven't watched C-Span in ages. WAY too slow for me. Doesn't NV mean "no vote"?
No. I am completely against mandating folks to pay for health care. Of all the provisions, that is the ONE that I am completely against. My comment was a more general statement, indicating that we all pay for those who are not insured, anyway. There need to be more controls on how.
This is pretty accurate. And has been going on for decades. I don't remember the last time I actually voted FOR someone.
After a heated midterm election, the Republican-led House easily passed legislation to repeal the nation's sweeping health care law.
The vote was 245-189. There were four Democrats that voted for repeal.

Step 1 to economic freedom is complete.
Taxing people without healthcare is hardly the same as mandating that people to pay for healthcare. The distinction is subtle, but it makes all the difference.

This is nothing more than symbolic gesture and you people are making a big deal out of nothing.This is their token attempt at repealing Obama care. If republicans had a majority in both congress and senate and a republican president or had a veto proof majority then sure this would be something to get exited about. The only purpose of this is so they can say "look we tried and it didn't work" and that will be the excuse that they will use for not ever bringing up an Obama care repeal again.
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. doctors surveyed fear healthcare reform could worsen care for patients, by flooding their offices and hurting income, according to a Thomson Reuters survey released Tuesday.
"When asked about the quality of healthcare in the U.S. over the next five years, 65 percent of the doctors believed it would deteriorate with only 18 percent predicting it would improve," Thomson Reuters, parent company of Reuters, said in a statement.
The survey found that 65 percent of the doctors predict healthcare quality will decline over the next five years, 18 percent say it will improve and 17 percent believe it will remain the same.
When asked where most of these newly insured people would get care, 55 percent of the doctors said a nurse practitioner or physician assistant would provide care.
As for patients, 57 percent of doctors predicted the impact of the changes will be negative, 27 percent said they would be positive and 15 percent forecast a neutral effect.
no, friend, quite the opposite
Repeal vote is just Republicans' first step on health care - Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com
the mandate really is within reach, and if the mandate is kicked out obamacare collapses
So subtle that it almost doesn't exist. [/sarcasm]
It may be subtle, but it seems more like a mandate to me.
What I love is that the Republicans had control of the House, Senate and the Presidency for six years and did nothing about Health care
What have the Republicans done asside from complain about the Democrats plan.
No, actually what would happen is that the rest of the health care reform law would remain intact, and the private insurance industry would collapse.
Anyone who supports repealing the individual mandate - and making no other changes - is essentially in favor of allowing people to game the health care system by waiting until they get sick to sign up for coverage.
