1) Dems and Unions in Detroit--got it. 2) Overfunding at too fast a pace now since previous underfunding. Red towns are suffering more than Red elites. 3) Illinois is screwed. Only draconian measures will save us. We have no guts for that. 4) Christie/NOOT 2016
So you support liberal bangers shooting it up in the hood and not having insurance at the E.R. Or the incredibly obese who choose not to take care of themselves and then choose to not insure themselves at the E.R. I remember Romney saying you couldn't skate until you're 45 and then jump in. I agree.
Public health is not individual health care. Nice try. I pay for police and fire, but I'm responsible to lock my doors and eliminate fire hazards.eace
Christie yes. Newt no. Try this:
Susana Martinez
Governor of New Mexico
Susana Martinez is the 31st and current Governor of New Mexico. Martinez, a Republican since 1995, is the first female governor of New Mexico and the first female Hispanic governor in the United States. Wikipedia
Born: July 14, 1959 (age 54), El Paso, TX
Office: Governor of New Mexico since 2011
Education: University of Oklahoma College of Law, University of Texas at El Paso, University of Oklahomaeace
I would rather subsidize the freeloaders than burden the citizenry with a new obligation.eace
Individual care bleeds over into the community. Illness spreads. Untreated injuries breed other problems. And no where did I say otherwise concerning responsibility. But there will be poor. There will be working poor. And it effects the public as a whole if we don't plan to adequately handle their health needs.
Do you support laws that are on the books? Or just cherry-pick what you don't like and threaten a TEApee insurrection to hurt the economy as with July/2011? The ACA is full of good Repup ideas. The whole concept came from "you people".
That is why we have charity.
Charity is a wonderful thing but it's not what you mange the needs of a society by. What you hope it can do is pick up a few of the things we can't get to. It's the extra foot of rope on the 100 feet you use to save a drowning man.That is why we have charity.
Since I'm not a Repub I'm under no more obligation to defend their stupid ideas than the stupid ideas of Dems. I did not believe our health care system needed reform in the first place. As I have done throughout my life, I will support the law of the land and express my views at the ballot box.
I'm nit defending Obama. I'm talking about a single payer system. Government isn't a business. It isn't designed to make profit, but to serve the people. People create governments to handle larger problems. Problems change overtime, but role is the same. In our system government functions under the will of the governed. We can vote anyone out. The thing I dislike is losers demonize the winners far too much.
But, the point is in this discussion is that we as a people improved the lot of the elderly by working through government.

So yo0u would not vote for the shutdown from your remarks?
Quit changing he subject. Government isn't business and business would love to remove health care from their domain.
So why won't the House fix a mess they made in late 2006 with the post office pe3nsion. Just before Nancy. Did she nsurvive that attempt on her life by the Sheriff, colloquially?
I am not happy with the House at all but they sure beat the alternative which we saw from 2007-2010
Of course not.
No, a community service like fire and police. You can buy some products, like smoke detectors and alarm systems, but the public health aspect is communal.
At some point in our lives we are going to utilize healthcare in some shape form or fashion no matter what. Why people don't want to figure out a better way to fund this I don't know.

And why do you think that would be better? Why are 50 smaller units better then one big one? Did you miss the Economies of Scale part of Econ101?There is a better way, let the states and local communities handle it not the bureaucracy in D.C.
Common ground. Linc would be proud. Now let's get the Transportation and Farming Bills done. Get a continuing resolution now that the Senate has actually passed a budget. I agree with the incremental approach to immigration since that is all the House will do anyway.

Should we have 50 little FAAs and the pilots can speak with a couple of dozen when flying across the country?
You seem to have a vision of a large central govt. providing you everything you want. That never was the purpose of the Federal Govt. and until you understand that you will always lack credibility. All this outrage over business but none over the 3.77 trillion dollar Federal Govt. and 17 trillion dollar debt. That says it all about you and other liberals.
Give these current assclowns time. Their remaps guarantee control until at least 2022. Do you believe in the loon wisdom of not passing any bills? Just more meaningless repeal votes? Or refusing to go to conference where the Repub adults from the Senate will make them whine?
So it's ideology for you, even if it wastes money and duplicates efforts?Uh, yeah, because a bureaucrat in D.C. has no idea what the problems are in a local community and state. Costs are different, situations are different, people are different. This country was built on individual freedoms with power centered closest to the people. That would be the states, not the Federal Govt. There is one basic role of the Federal Govt.--PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE. Healthcare is an individual responsibility not a Federal one.
