But he’s using the plan that Newt Gingrich and the American Heritage Foundation came up with and Mitt Romney enacted in Massachusetts, so it MUST be a good Republican plan.
Unlike the EEEeereeeevil Socialized Medicine plan that Bill and Hilary cooked up and had shot down. Single Payer… HA!
The real problem is a lack of honesty from our government. This system was designed to fail. When it fails, we will be forced onto the single payer system with the death panels.
Once again the hypocrite Dems tell us “Do as I say, not as I do” by exempting themselves from Obama(non)Care.Kinda like the old Soviet Union where everybody had to live in crappy government housing, except those in the government of course.When will you simpleton lefties finally figure out that politicians aren’t there to hold your hand through life.
“Good Lord, no one complains about auto insurance. Everyone pays into the pot, the unlucky ones benefit from it, costs are shared, and the law requires everyone have it. What’s the difference.”
No difference. Both are wrong – both are a gift to a major for-profit industry. The one loophole in the auto insurance issue is that it is conceivable, for a few people living in a few places, for them not to need a car. So, hypothetically, owning a car is a ‘choice’.
Health care is something we all need at one time or another. It’s not an issue which should be forced by law, and essentially unfunded.
Sure, I know, we’ve been assured that those who can’t afford the rates will be issued vouchers – but only if they qualify. Which means there will be a substantial bloc of people who can neither afford the rates, but don’t qualify for the vouchers. It’s been true of every other ‘assistance’ program in this country for decades, and I’ll believe this one is different when I see it with my own eyes.
Well, if you cheap little “Captialists” would just buy some Health Insurance from a Wall Street Controlled Insurer then we workingclass ‘Socialist’ taxpayers wouldn’t have to keep paying for your ‘Free’ emergency room visits every time you have a tummyache.
He knows that was Reagan ridiculing the left and their love affair with gov. handouts.He actually called those words the most terrifying in the English language.

Obama fixing healthcare is like putting out a fire with gasoline…

Your way would be to make people without cars or who take public transportation to pay for insurance.

So, do Republicans/Fox “news” viewers believe that our health care system should be improved?-Beyond turning Medicare into vouchers, I mean.

“But, if the insurance companies go “belly up” , I, for one , will celebrate.”

“Barack Obama: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
That was Ronald Reagan … so it works for you, right?

Doctors are dropping out as fast as they can – they hate the paperwork as much as I do!
