http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_health_care_overhaul "At its core, the legislation would create a new insurance exchange where consumers could shop for affordable coverage that complied with new federal guidelines." "In place of a government-run insurance option, the estimated 30 million Americans purchasing coverage through new insurance exchanges would have the option of signing up for national plans overseen by the same office that manages health coverage for federal employees and members of Congress." That sounds a lot like the public option
Lots of these threads are coming up on ET. It amuses me as to how many of you underrate your enemy (Obama). It is foolish to not respect your enemy. For as much as many of you talk badly about Obama, the man made his way into the Oval Office. Think about it. And now, so many of you are so certain that he will not be reelected. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Politics is sneaky. Stay tuned.
That's right. In the early days of Nazi Germany, many folks thought the Nazis were just silly no accounts and Hitler was just a buffoon.
Do any of you think that even one of our whores in the Senate or House knows the short term or long term costs of this "experiment"? Oh yeah, I forgot, they throw out numbers all the time. I'm sure they're correct, huh? LMAO.
Of course they know. Have you noticed that deduction from your paycheck for for Social Security (FICA) and the newer one for Medicare? Both of which are going broke and will need even more from you. Now you''ll have a brand new one. They like it when they can get together and add a new tax to you (and me) and throw it in our face. For those out of college and can't find a job, go to work for Uncle Sam. This bill will add layers of new bureaucracies and new federal employees. Besides the average federal worker makes over $71,000 yearly vs. only around $40,000 for the average private sector employee. Plus government workers get 10 paid holidays, a monstrous pension and many other benefits that aren't afforded most private sector employees. http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/12/federal_employees_at_the_troug_1.html
Yes the parallels are inescapable Fecoorator. Hitler was a radio talk show host. Hitler was funded by German corporate interests TyssenKrupt and I G Farben who subsidized radios so that the German people could hear Hitler. Hitler preached German exceptionalism and a "them Us" paradigm. Clearly Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck are vieing to be the New Hitler. Oh, and Little Joe NEEDS TO GO!

Here is just one example of Lucrumâs intellectual level: Lucrum: LOL, you like to watch monkeys fucking footballs? What happened, you get tired of kiddie porn? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2666215#post2666215 ***** Lucrumâs posting speaks for itself, and gives us an insight to his real mindset, and he makes a very good case about how to be a âMoronâ - And I would not be surprised if his postings are based on his own personal experiences regarding fucking footballs and watching kiddie porn⦠After reading Lucrumâs postings on this website in the future when I see one of his postings on this forum I will always associate his name with rednecks such as the ones pictured on the film âDeliveranceâ with Burt Reynolds, since they have about the same type of mindset. .
Would someone care to share what the "reform" is? I see a bonanza for the insurance industry, higher taxes for all, more government control of our everyday lives and a lower quality of care coming as a result of this bill. What I don't see is any reform.
