I agree, in theory. Socialism is a wonderful read and if it were played out as theorized, would result in an almost utopian environment. In reality, the capable, eventually fail to participate, and choose to live off the production of others and therefore are unworthy of receiving the benefit.

Socialize medicine. There is so much we can't fix, money is a lousy reason to not fix what we can. Originally Posted by JohnnyCap

Based on this lie he forced this bill through the House (Pelosi--we have to pass the law to know what's in it) and through the Senate (with corrupt deals). He also ran for reelection on the lie. According to the standards of the 1970s he should be impeached (ask Ms Rodham for clarification). Memos have been released that the White House KNEW that people would lose their health insurance because of the law. They KNEW, Obama KNEW but they said it and did it anyway. Worse, they attacked the people who were telling the truth and disparaged them with lies. You are one of those people and so are others on this site.
You all sold your collective souls to roll in the lies. I see some are trying to get them back now. Part of growing is realizing that you did make a mistake and why. You didn't want to believe people like Sarah Palin and other vocal critics who were right on the mark. Part of your redemption should include an apology. Right now, I am sure that some of you are recoiling like a vampire from the cross at the mere mention of Sarah Palin. You are still sick.
In case you missed it and if you watch MSNBC or network news then you probably have, the House has passed a bill that would grandfather ALL policies issued before and after the passage of the ACA. Putting choice back into the hands of Americans. Call your senator and tell them to tell Harry Reid to put it up for a vote. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

The Tea Party is the best thing to happen to the Dems in years. You're just too fucking stupid to recognize it. Originally Posted by timpage
