Took them long enough, 27 days.

That’s what happens when the government runs things.
Wait until you try to see an actual doctor under Barrak-Care next year.

If the government runs things so poorly let’s cut the military budget in half now.

That’s what happens when Republican obstructionists hold things up.

Late October was more than 27 days ago.
I hope everyone remembers the Sandy 36 when election day comes again.

No that’s what happens when you let the Tea-Baggers run the Republican party

Especially the 32 that demanded relief for their own states.

Funny how people under Canada’s single-payer system (which is what Barack Obama REALLY wanted) are far happier with their plan than the average US citizen. And the Brits are happier under their completely socialized medicine than the average US citizen. And both countries have all their citizens covered.
And when you criticize the new plan, remember it was a REPUBLICAN plan, and Obama’s THIRD choice, after (1) single-payer (and/or extended Medicare) and (2) a nonprofit government-backed insurance company. Seems the advocates of free enterprise who keep claiming the government can’t compete…were afraid of government competition.
And funny how you can’t spell your president’s name, either.

If the DC politicians hadn’t considered their pork on par with a relief package and attached said pork to the relief bill, the relief bill would probably passed in hours instead of days.

There are no “government doctors” under Obamacare. They’re private health plans, run by private companies, for private profit. That’s why health care costs are still sky-rocketing.

“There you go again…” injecting facts into a witless rant.

No, this is just what happens when the Republicans run things. Since they don’t believe in government, what on earth could make them qualified to govern? If the House had the Democratic majority that the people actually voted for (by a million plus), it would’ve been done within 72 hours of when they took over.

There are no “government doctors” under Tommy Douglas’ Canadian medicare, either. Just a well run government insurance programme. As my doctor, who practiced under both systems, said, “I don’t think I practice medicine any differently now that a no longer worry about being paid.”

That’s what happens when we have too many tea bagger morons in our government, losers like you. So funny you try to whine about Obamascare, bet you won’t have any trouble seeing a doctor thanks to ObamaCare. A Psychiatrist would be essential to your mental health.

How despicable the tea baggers are trying to block aid to Blue States. You don’t see Democrats playing petty partisan politics when the red welfare states have disaster problems.
