Should members of Congress have to be part of the same pre-failed public health care plan they’re forcing on the rest of us? Well, if we have to live with public health care (and we will, if this bill passes), then so should they.
And they shouldn’t raise taxes one more dime to get it done, no matter mow often they try to convince us that the evil, monocle-wearing rich should fork over more. If the Democrats really want a nationalized health care system, then let them cut some other big spending program to get it. Defense is off-limits. Beyond that, cut away, Dems! Let’s see just how much you really want your socialized medicine.
Of course they won’t do that, because this bill, like the cap and trade bill, isn’t about money, health care, or paying their footsolders what the law requires. It’s about raw power.
Republicans, on the other hand, need to keep laying on the poison pill amendments if that’s what it takes to kill nationalized health care for no other reason than to make would-be killers like Peter Singer weep bitter tears that he can’t kill a third (or more) of the people on the planet. They also need to get their own plan out there more. They have real doctors, you know.
To swipe a phrase from one of the stars of the blogosphere: Socialized Medicine Won’t Work.

I thought the most brilliant thing anyone said was “If they would force it on the public while allowing themselves out of it, then its not good enough for the country.”
If OBAMA wouldn’t accept the level of care OBAMACARE would give to the masses, then it should be rejected. Hypocrite. He knows full well that his plans will result in rationing and reduced levels of care, and the fool made the mistake of admitting he would want the best care for his family. Meaning: I want the best for me and mine, and the rest of you can go to hell.
Nobody is “forcing” a public health plan on you, you stupid moron. If you’re happy with your private insurance, you can keep it. Then when your insurance company begins denying your claims or even cancels you outright when you become sick, you can figure out what your next step will be… and maybe you’ll finally figure out why 80% of the American public wants this public plan.
And when your employer drops coverage because it’s cheaper? And when the bill outlaws your ability to buy new private insurance (which it appears the bill will do)?
Yes, we will be forced into a public plan. You can say we won’t all you like, but we will. If the law doesn’t do so explicitly, basic rules of economics and government will.
The simple fact of the matter is that people like you, Serena, are deceived. The debate is not between nationalized health care and no changes at all. There are options on the table that are guaranteed to improve the system (based on simple economic principles and known history) that do not require our adopting a system that countries like England and Canada are trying to get out of.
Put down the Kool Aid and think.
I am a strong proponent of nationalized, universal health care, and I agree with the idea that Obama/Congress should be put under the public option.
They should also be the first ones to have their families drafted if they determine it’s necessary for us to go to war.
To quote the philosopher Tupac Shakur: How come the president lives in the White House? Why doesn’t he live in the crack house? Then we’ll see how fast the drug epidemic clears up.

Sorry … you’re the stupid moron. It will become illegal to have a private plan.
What they weren’t telling us:

They won’t, Clint, because they know what plenty of us also know: nationalized health care is inferior to what we have right now.
