Healthcare Reform Thread II

[DinoDoc]

I'm just so used to the Dems fumbling on the one-yard-line, I can't believe they actually broke the plane.

Say what you want about Pelosi, but she's an extremely effective Speaker. This crap sandwich never would've been passed if she hadn't been around and it had been up to Obama and Reid.

More's the pity.

[Japher]

The court is definitely above making decisions based on criticism from the President.

I would hope so. However, since our house has shown a complete disregard for democracy, honesty, transparency, and integrity in this matter I will make no claim of any official... judge or no

Wow! Drake posted another lying partisan opinion piece and tried to pass it off as honest journalism... AGAIN. Who would have thought?

[Asher]

Did he really pass it off as journalism? Looks like he just linked to an op-ed column...

[DinoDoc]

The fact there is the word Opinion in bold should have been his first clue.

[Drake Tungsten]

Yeah, I pretty clearly stated that it was the analysis of an individual, named the individual and provided a link to the op-ed. Do we really need to start using [opinion] tags so idiots like Oerdin don't get confused?

When America adopts “socialized medicine” which it seems to have done(if today’s vote was any indication), my prayers go to our allies in the United States Armed Forces, who are risking their lives for the cause of freedom, while their own government tramples their rights, and rewards their service with a new 3rd rate medical system!

[Zevico]

Neither side has acquitted themselves very well, to be sure.

The phrase 'to be sure' is verbiage, unless you're Irish, in which case it's adorable. On some level I die every time I read it in a newspaper.

Who are actually the only ones in the US to get true single payer socialized medicine. Oh, and the VA has the highest customer satisfaction results of any health care provider in the country. Suck on that one for a while.

I assume you are talking about my employer provided health care, right?

[Theben]

At least I have the congratulatory circle jerk of the healthcare reform shills to keep me entertained.

Don't forget the wailing and frothing at the mouth of the far right.

Yesterday, the House passed legislation (by a bipartisan vote of 403 to 0) that specifically protects all members of the military from any requirements mandated by the health-care legislation. Thanks for your concern.

Is it true they left coverage for pre-existing conditions in, but took price controls out? How does that work?
