Now you wanna get me started again. I've been avoiding 'off topic'. Better read more than the headlines. The record budget set by W last year has been quadrupled...times 4 if I spelled it wrong. How will you explain this to your kid's kids? And careful your golden chariot doesn't rust?!!? |

The banks and wall street 2 weeks ago, the car makers last week and now health care to start off this week. Couple more weeks and there won't be a thing left for the O's to do except go on oprah.

Just remember, if it's not cost effective to treat you, they'll put you down. |

Actually they need to rest up before going on Oprah. They will be heading to the Vineyard just like the Clintons did. |

Sure, I'll bite.
Great idea. Lets start another huge government agency that will be underfunded (or worse, over funded and a huge waste with no oversight) and failing in the first year. I mean all the news about social security right now is bright sunshine! Hate to sound like a prick, but most of the people without health care do not deserve it, or can afford to pay for it themselves and choose not to. Only thing I support is health care for children, which we already have. |

you been to the Docter lately?
your a number, at the Clinic here in Cleveland the doctors are trained to keep the patient for 12 minute visits, If you have good insurance they line you up for MRI's CAT SCANS, blood tests, cavity checks...the system is broken, and trying anything is better than it is now, the ones with insurance are paying for the ones without....the Gov needs to step in |

And this is somehow going to get better when the government steps in and makes it free for everyone to go to the doctor for a hang nail? Magically, more doctors are going to appear? I think just the opposite. When Big Brother regulates all the profits out of halthcare, why go through 12 years of school to be a doctor. Government healthcare = more patients, less doctors, lower quality At the clinic, you may feel like a number now, Eric, but wait until it is a government agency and you will literly be a number. Kind of like all other agencies (DMV), "Now serving number 23B!" Sad part is, you are holding number 14E... |

See here, we turned a potentially abrasive political discussion into talk of spring! LOL
I've never lived up north so I don't know what I'm talking about, but we have had a lot of family visit down here. There's always something in the conversation about 'I wish my job and friends were down here in the south'. My grandfather also talked highly of growing up in Wisconsin. It's all relative and I can't wait to see the frozen north! ![]() |

I follow you Greg. My dad grew up on a farm in Iowa. Had enough of the cold, shoveling snow etc, so he moved to GA when I was 2. Been here ever since. We may need a wet suit up a GL just to be able to take a dip in the frigid water up there.
The idea of GOV health care is scary. Take a look at the former USSR or Cuba. Socialized medicine is BAD for us all. I think the term " Just take em' out back and shoot em'" would really apply like previous posts have stated. |

You have never been in love..until you've seen the dawn rise over shuttered steel mills. Thats a joke Eric, where I come from it's shuttered textile mills and jewelery plating factories but I still call it home. |

I drove through Gary, IN at sunrise back in about 1975 and saw colors I'd never seen back in Maine.
Alan, I had a good buddy that was from Garden Street in Pawtucket and hung out there a lot between 1970 and 1978. Between So Attelboro, Central Falls and Pawtucket, it was a pretty interesting and crazy place. |

Bruce, My dad grew up in the Bishops Bend neighborhood, he talked about swimming in the Pawtucket river when he was a kid. When I was a kid we walked across it. 100 years off textile dyes and waste from junk jewelery plating being dumped directly into the river. What a great education we got growing up in some hard knock American Mill towns eh? I drive though there once a year while visiting and the stories run out of my head for weeks. Dana loves listening to me ramble when I go home. Life is good guys and don't you forget it.

Moffoot, I differ with you on the Cuba medicin statement, people from all over the world go to Cuba for the most specialised issues.
They have many other issues, but medicin certainly isnt one of them. |

Azues, you always get me going, your probably from my wifes generation, you get a little itch on the old sack and off to the Doctor you go, probably got great insurance, 40 prescriptions in the cabinet, but you still got the itch, immune to penicilin cause you grew up on it
I think the angle the gov is going to take is education, one time fee for all testing, no frivalous malpractice suits, somebody needs to step in. I have not seen one bad comment from these guy's on socialized medicine, thier happy they have coverage, if you break your arm you dont wait, itchy sack you do lol |

Eric-
I just call it like I see it that's all. Not sure what generation your wife is from, but I am 28. I do have great health care because I went to school for 4 years and struggled to find a decent enough job to provide it (Not real easy right now). Not saying that if your job does not give you health care it is not decent or good, but that was one of the reasons I did go to school. I always had good jobs while in HS and college. They paid well and I had fun doing them, but knew at some point I would not be able to use my parents health care anymore, so I decided I would do what it would take to get myself to a point where I could get a job that would provide HC to myself and my family. FWIW, I do not take any prescriptions and very rarely go to the doctor or call in sick to work. Probably average less than 1 sick day/yr (judging by my co-workers, that is pretty low). I really do not try to fire you up, but do enjoy the debate! |

i call it like i see it.....and i pretty much called it....
flip the coin, do you deserve better healthcare than someone else in this country? and dont say yes because i went to school, it is discrimination in my eyes, on this topic I feel it should be equal accross the board, i get pissed off about welfare but i dont get pissed about healthcare, because you dont have control over health |

Discrimination??? Come on, that is a stretch. To some extent, I think you are right, Eric. Sometimes bad stuff just happens to otherwise good people, but I do believe you can have a large impact on your own health. Not smoking, not drinking too much, and eating right will definetely yeild better results than the opposite. Excersizing on a regular basis helps too. Like you said, welfare pisses me off and now, to throw gas on the fire, we are going to have to pay for the same person go to the doctor that we pay to sit around on their ass and smoke cigs all day. Tell me, where is the motivation to do anything or better yourself? To get yourself out of this bad situation? No, no, Obama can't have that because that person might actually not vote for him next time. He needs as many people dependent on the government as he can so the dems can hold the power as long as possible. My other point is that we already have "universal" health care. Medicare/medicaid cover children and the elderly and the fact that you can walk into any hospital in the country and they can not refuse to help you. They are required by law to help you. I am not saying that I am better because I went to school Eric, I am saying I am better because I take responsibility for myself. |
