    Too bad he couldn’t wait for the universal health insurance option….oh yeah, they haven’t decided on which one they want yet. Guess waiting wasn’t an option afterall.

    Too bad he couldn’t pay his own doctor bill.

    What a novel idea, self-support.

    Wonder why our founding fathers didn’t think of it.

    Oh yeah, they did. The Constitution tried to keep power out of the federal hands.

    How much money do you have lying around?? Quick googling showed heart by-pass surgery could cost an average of $20,000 USD. Sixty percent of bankruptcies in the US are due to medical bills. Perhaps a change could be a good thing.

    I think the constitution does include keeping the citizens healthy. “To promote the general welfare”. A healthy population is better for the country.

    Conservatives for Patient’s Rights reminds you that you have the right to pay outrageous premiums for a life time, and to be cancelled when you actually need coverage. Now, get out and fight those who DENY YOUR RIGHT TO BE DENIED!

    Enumerated powers trump the preamble, and there’s nothing in the enumerated powers about “keeping people healthy.”

    No government health care: let the constitutional illiterates die off.

    Another quick google search will show you that heart by-pass surgery is unnecessary most of the time.

    By the way, try Startpage. It’s not as invasive as google.

    Our only pre-existing condition is a sin nature which leads to death anyway. I

    The whole “health care reform” debate is one big evil fnord. The key issue is never discussed.
    The answer to “Why is healthcare expensive?” is “There is a conspiracy between the AMA and the government to artificially restrict the supply of doctors’ licenses. By restricting the supply of doctors’ licenses, this guarantees that doctors will always get high salaries and that there will be a shortage of doctors. Further, the FDA regulates what treatments are permissible and the health insurance industry is heavily regulated. This further drives up costs.”
    The supply of doctor licenses is not determined by a free market process, but by a law.
    The current debate has nothing to do with health care or reform. It’s just an excuse for the State to increase it’s power over the people.

    Technically speaking, the only guaranteed outcome of life is death, so being alive means that you’ve got one foot in the grave all the time. Ah well.

    There you guys go again blaiming everyone else.

    A good 80 % (not 100%) of the people are totally irresponsible to themselves by practicing being fools…fools by boozing, gluteny, drug addiction, driving “impaired”, and the list goes on. Then this same group of total jerks blame others for their downfall and want everyone else to step in to take care of them financially because of their addictive screwups.

    What a bunch of selfish hogs.

    Sure are a lot of right wing ideologues writing comments. Without getting personal, what the hell is wrong with you self-centered people. I suggest that you all read TR Reid’s article in last weeks Newsweek. This is not about health-care or any particular policy. It is about whether or not we, as a nation, care about each other. Apparently we are the only industrialized nation that doesn’t appear to really give a sh** about each other.

    I think the cartoon is brilliant and right on.

    It’s one thing to debate policy merits, but man… the mean-spiritedness on display in some of these anti-HC comments is breathtaking.

    Some sad, damaged stuff gettin hauled out.

    There is nothing the government does, that it does well. Infrastructure is crumbling, Medicare and Medicaid has been underfunded since its inception, billions of dollars on education but more students are functionally illiterate. Argh! Universal healthcare won’t solve any problems but create a whole bunch more.

    what we need to change to is back to the way it used to be when everyone paid for their own care. heart surgery would cost 2000 instead of 20,000.

    Not that I expect any lefties to be confused by the facts…

    ANYSIA General Welfare is the same excuse Roosevelt used to inflate the Supreme Court to push through an unconstitutional Ponzi scheme called Social Security.

    Our constitution is mostly about keeping power out of the hands of federal government. We lose our freedom when we allow centralized bureaucrats tell us what to do.

    You seem to think Jesus answered Am I my brothers keeper? He was silent.

    So I guess when you are young, you better start putting a casket on lay-a-way so you’ll have the one you think makes you look the coolest.

    Very true indeed. Moreover, this happens all over the world.

    Worried about “rationed” health care? Don’t be. The Insurance companies have already rationed it for you. They have a lot more experience at it than the government.

    Mxyxptik, you’re full of beans!
    Where is your proof of that ridiculous allegation?

    And Lewreader, it was CAIN who asked, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”.

    jo shaw, Yes it’s only a cartoon.

    Doctor Toon, yes, I have had a most wonderful day.

    And yes, I try to be my brother’s keeper providing my brother behaves himself, otherwise he can take a hike.
