US politics circa 2011

...We tell people what they can and can't do all the time Not sure how you missed that memo.

Does that make it right? You do understand the concept of individual liberty don't you?

Hell we invade counties that do not submit to our whims.....at a much greater cost.

Even in GB they are considering a major overhaul because of cost over-runs and forcing rationing.

The bureacracy to get treatment at a VA hospital is enough to make me anti-national health care. Have you ever spoken to a native american on a reservation? The will tell you not to get sick after june or july because their GVMT funded health care is out of money, i.e., rationing.

The fact that we give free emergency care currently doesn't mean we should use that as rationale to increase the amount of free care given... Originally Posted by atlcomedy

That is a great reason to bankrupt this country, so foreigners can come here and recieve healthcare. Are you at all concerened about the national debt. You do realize that to bring it down , we are going to have to change our ways. I am not looking to get elected by either party , so I have no trouble telling you the truth but because of people like you elected officials have to continue to lie about what we need to do to fix this mess. You want the best healthcare, yet do not want your taxes to increase. Wow

The major issue with US Healthcare is that we have an artificially depressed supply of doctors. We need to ramp up to more than 150% of the doctors that we have now. Imagine the US if you had to have a license to clean a toilet and only 1 out of 100 people had that license. I'm all for the govt to offer incentives for med schools to increase seats. We also need a 'free borders' drug policy were I can get my 'scripts filled from reputable overseas sources.

Where's the 'Change you can believe in?'

Also, TTH, the Republicans don't have a supermajority. Oh, they have one in the House but not a supermajority like the Dems did in the House, Senate and Presidency before Senator Kennedy died and Senator Brown was elected. When they could have passed DADT, the super rich income tax increase or many other policies that would have gotten them even more slaughtered in the 2012 election.

I was referring to the Texas legislature when I spoke of the Republican supermajority.
