I had foot surgery once that charged me by the minute for the operating room. My ins. wouldn’t pay for the surgery (Health Net strikes again!) so I had to fork over $2500 first. This comic is true!!!!

I do believe that your Mr. Obama is trying to PREVENT that sort of behaviour. The Cons forced so many changes to his health care bill that it cannot be successful.

Your right of course, but he still took what he could get instead of holidng out for what he wanted. Which is now what we have which is going to be something like this. In essence it is what we have because of him, I wish he had held out for something better.

I imagine that the Prez thought he could build on the existing bill. I can’t understand why the elephants are so set against more people having insurance. We’re still behind the rest of the civilized world. I suspect it is racism and a hatred of the poor, neither something Christ would harbor.

I prefer Douglascare over Obomerycare any day.

that’s a small Theater of Operation. Tactical Nukes are your best option.
