@pcolli – the ACA (Affordable Care Act) AKA Obamacare is nothing like the NHS
the new, not-so-universal healthcare system in the US will be split between increasing existing govt programs (medicare, medicaid for elderly and poor) and new regulations for private insurance. the least popular aspect of ACA is the mandate for everyone not in medicare/medicaid to buy into private insurance or face a fine. also unpopular, more poor people will be covered by a modest increase in govt programs, plus subsidies given for the poor to buy private insurance
Well, when there are just two people keeping that repeal from happening (eg., Harry Reid and Barack Obama) you are dealing with a dictatorship rather than a democracy….
Morty might be referencing Einstein’s famous comment on expecting a different outcome, which puts Boehner in WHAT category? Okay, he can share a cell with all those rebelling “TEA party” types!

53% disapprove of how Obama is handling health care is not the same of 53% want a repeal. I do not like Obamacare as it is not a universal program so that puts me in the 53% but by no means do I advocate repeal.

… as usual … Bennett is lockstep socialist with Obama … and calls ANYONE that disagrees with Obama mentally ill …
According to Bennett I should have been put away YEARS ago!

Isn’t this how the Soviet Union and Nazis dealt with dissidents and people who disagreed with the government leadership…?

I’m not a resident of the US….just how does “Obamacare” compare to the UK’s National Health Service?

Don’t these guys ever get tired of portraying anyone on the right as nutty? Childish, and just proves how void they are of substance.

Amen to that.

You are absolutley wrong in your statements about care for seniors. And you need to change doctors as yours is putting unneccessary stress on you.
