Socialed medicine or don't even bother. This bill in its current form is fucking worthless. Americans need to pull their heads out of their ass and realize the fundamental concept that healthcare should NOT run by profit seeking megacorps. The rest of the world knows it, but the gun-wielding Wal-Mart trash thats been the vocal minority here is making us look retarded.

Pretty interesting that Iraq and Afghanistan get universal health care on our dime while 45,000 Americans die every year because of a lack of insurance.

So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

Some people have an interest in portraying Iraq negatively in any manner they can.

 

There is also a difference between providing healthcare to everyone in a nation the size of Oregon with a population of 25 million vs a nation the size of the USA with a population of 400 million.......and the usual point to Europe routine isn't a very good outlet anymore as much of Europe is realizing the socialized states they have been running are bankrupting their nations.

 

You have any facts on all this or is this all coming from your high intellect?
