I've decided now that I'm opposed to health care reform.

Obama and many Democrats have this crazy idea to attack the poor, struggling health insurance companies and CEOs. What these poor companies need are MORE government subsidies, tax loop-holes and what not. How dare do the Democrats seek to ruin this system?

Second, only commies and socialists have moral problems with consigning a nine year old child to a "death panel" by denying his parents new health insurance coverage because the child's condition was preexisting. People die - get over it.

Third, selfishness goes hand-in-hand with good ol' American patriotism. It's simply un-American to think of using our tax dollars to help those who are less fortunate and in need. It's time for folks to grow up and be more selfish.

Fourth, the way our current health insurance works is that as long as you are not sick or not injured, you are able to use your full, complete coverage that you pay for each month. Now how the **** does anyone see a problem with this?

I don't like many possibilities. I don't like that life prolonging treatment could be withheld.

I think we should tax unhealthy lifestyles that pose a greater burden on the health care system. We already tax smoking, so we should tax boozing, driving too fast, eating foods unapproved by democrats, buttsecks, fatties, people who fly in big airplanes across the country, humvees, and the military.

That way we can spread misery around to everyone equally, rather than having the healthy able bodied people paying for everyone else.

The conservatives' belief in their own version of so-called "death panels" is much more false than the other version of "death panels" - where uninsured people are denied new insurance if they have a preexisting condition, even if it's life-threatening.

So, in actuality, you do not have a problem with "death panels" if you oppose substantial health care reform. Congratulations, Grim Reaper.

This is lame, even by MrFun standards. 1/10...

wah - you hurt my feelings

Where is the problem if those healthy able bodied people have enough money to pay for it whereas the poor bums don't?

You take care of your old grandma struggling to make the best of her last years right? You take care of veterans right? You take care of old people right?

Now why not the poor?

[Drake Tungsten]

The poor haven't earned it.

Opened the thread expecting an unfunny unenlightening pseudo-ironic rant, and was not disappointed.

[Traianvs]

The poor haven't earned it.

In effect you're saying the poor haven't earned to live.

A child hasn't earned it either, but if he's got rich parents he gets the best treatment nevertheless.

Another argument please

This is just the kind of retardation I've come to expect from you.

Why does MrFun persist in trying into make me into a homophobe?

Oh, so if I make less money than you, I have the right to steal your wallet and take the money I need?

You take care of your old grandma struggling to make the best of her last years right? You take care of veterans right? You take care of old people right?

I'm all for taking care of my family. It's my responsibility. As for vets, if they are willing to lay their life down for my ass, the least I can do is show them a little courtesy. The diff is that I don't ask you to pay for my family.

Now why not the poor?

Why not the poor? For the same reason I will take a poor person in for lunch if I have the money to do so.

If they are looking for a handout, obviously they aren't beggars if they are choosers.
