Just heard today there is some movement in getting the bill through congress.
Sen. Snow(GOP-Maine) has just agreed to vote for the bill in committee.
Hopefully we can get this though and all Americans can have health care.
The latest threats from the health care industry to triple prices if the bill went though are simply disgraceful. I guess they worried that the billions they make in profits will be reduced. Greed and shame.
Sure would love to have someone else pay for my knee surgery. 
That would be your choice. You could either pay for out of your own pocket and maybe have some private practice rick folks doctor work on you or you could have the surgery in a public hospital with the government paying the entire bill.
Either way you would get the same quality of treatment.
In any case I admire Sen Burris who has said he will absolutely not vote for a bill without the public option.

Government paying the bill??
Same type of care??
BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
No it’s some other poor hard working fV<k paying for the bill.
And it will be the bargain basement doctor that will be performing my surgery cause the “goverment” will not pay out the patootie for it. And if something goes wrong, that bargain basement doctor will not be liable.
I know one person whose grandma is in Canada that had to come here for surgery because the “government” was taking too long to approve her surgery even though her pain was so bad she was bed ridden 50% of the time.
I have a cousin in the UK. Healthy as hell, yet she is paying for health care for all the lazy a$$e$ that “can’t afford” healthcare. Which seems to be growing each year. Why bother doing anything meaning full to make money and get taxed like crazy when “the goverment will provide” A friend also in the UK who’s family come here to the US to get surgery done cause the “government” option doctors are incompetent.
There’s the reality of socialized health care you will never hear about. No thanks!!
Then what’s the problem? Obama has already said people like you can keep their medical coverage and do whatever they like. So under his plan you’re going to able to have your private white rich folks doctor…good luck to you.
However the rest of us will now also be able to get medical care without having to make a choice between medical care or our kids eating for the next year.

And that is why socialism is ALWAYS doomed to fail.
Excellent post.

So I should bust my a$$ so that I can be taxed like crazy and barely afford to provide for my own family so you can have health care. TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN CRAP!! I’LL TAKE CARE OF MY OWN FAMILIES BILLS. HOW BOUT THAT.

That’s right. By the way my tax dollar paid for that road you’re driving on. Get the hell off of my road.

The problem with the logic is my tax dollars also pays for the road. However, my tax dollars paid for welfare and I don’t see a dime for it. Yet I see people driving BMW’s while using food stamps. See it at WalMart over here all the time.
My tax dollars paid for apartments for Katrina “victims” years afterwards. I too was in New Orleans and was displaced, yet I worked my behind to get a job 3 months after relocating to Dallas without a dime of govt. help. Did not even draw unemployment. So how about people just become a contributor to society instead of just sticking their hand out and making excuses for their misgivings.
Contribute to society, work hard get what you got. Do not look for handouts. The government is not your daddy and mommy or anyones personal cash machine. Take care of your own.
I say cut welfare. That is enabling people to drain the working class. F’ing MacDonalds is hiring all the time. Oh wait you can’t support 6 kids with that kind of money. Why the F’ did you have 6 kids in the first place? I should not have to support stupidity and lack of discipline.

According to your profile you are unemployed. So that means your tax dollars aren’t going anywhere because you don’t have any!
Just who exactly is paying for the roof over your head?

Looks like that’s about all he owns!:eek:
I noticed this guy shut up once I pointed out he is one of these people “sticking their hand out and making excuses for their misgivings”.
This guy is the absolute worse type of hypocrite. He sits on his ass all day long expect mommy and daddy to pay his bills then he has the gall to complain about people getting aid to feed their kids. No wonder Bad loves this guy so much.
Also I don’t have to advertise on a Kung Fu BB for women. As far as I know he’s the only one here doing that. He should put that on a flyer and go stable it around his local high school. There is a lot of 17 year old girls there. What a creepo!:eek:
Dude if you must know. I work for a financial services firm here in Dallas. Have been a bond trader for 14yrs now. I worked in New Orleans in 2005 and got displaced due to hurricane Katrina. I was unemployed for 3 mos until I decided to do some contracting work. In that time frame, I did not collect unemployment or even go to FEMA for a handout.
I got laid off back in 2003 and was unemployed for 9mos. And yes I did use unemployment for 3 of those 9mos. That’s it. I lowered my sights after realizing I was not getting back to a salary I was accustomed to. I sold cars, worked as a teller at a bank and worked my way up to being a financial advisor. Then got the position in NOLA.
I come from a middle class immigrant family. Graduated College. Served in the US Military, Navy, for 4yrs active and 2 years reserves.
I have been working since I was sixteen. From working at McDonalds to waiting tables.
I quit answering your post because your views are idiotic and it will never change. There is no point in arguing with an idiot on the internet.
So make no mistake, I practice what I preach.
Oh and my sig line is a joke

SQUIDDDDDD!!! 
Just kidding, bro… thanks for your service.
Class bro. That is all I can say, my hat’s off to you. Thanks for putting that up but you never had to. It is foolish to argue with someone that speaks about what they dont know and when confronted by one that does, gets personal. That is just a sign of immamurity that i myself struggle with and I know that when i get like that it is because I lost and have nothing else to say.

If your going to lie at least pay attention to your time line…you joined 01/07 when you said you were unemployed.
Also Joke? Sure man! If I was you I would put that little “joke” on my resume! Employers like funny employees.
since when is anyone “entitled” to health care that is funded on someone elses back? The government is there to produce things we cant do for ourselves namely a military. There is no where in our founding documents that says a word about taxing one guy to death to make sure some slob has access to health care. If anything it should be a states rights issue. If in my case Ohio wants to provide a safety net for some then fine, put it up for a vote but for the federal government to attempt to ram this power grab down our throats is cause for alarm and a strong reaction from the taxpayers, which it has gotten. Maybe Obama could do something beside jetting off to Paris with his wife for date night on our tab and shore up our borders ( defense againest threats foriegn and domestic). Maybe he could give the US military the supplies and manpower they are asking for for Afghanistan instead of bowing to Saudi kings and apologizing to tin pot dictators for Americas existence.
