We will not stand for socialized, government-controlled health care.

but none of them wants to repel Medicare.

Go figure.

LOL,

It does seem I have crossed etiquette.


As to the theme of my topic, I'd say the lack of response is very telling.

Actually the lack of a response was due to not having time to read the full article.

And I've been away. Sure seems to bother these professional organizers when they can't simply label these other folks as mobs and have everyone believe it, doesn't it?

Did not mean you Grumpy.

What I meant is that Medicare is considered a lifeline that has been extremely successful and neither lib nor con will touch it.
Yet when we want to essentially roll it out to all Americans (better late than never) all hell breaks loose.
Seems to me the good folks from the heartland that are so against national health care are being needlessly spooked as there own experience is positive.
I find this very ironic and disturbing at the same time.

Medicare is in the toilet, and predicted to be completely in the red in 8 or 10 years, just like all the other entitlement stuff. Washington couldn't run a decent corn stand.

In that case, allow me to respond.

I have NO idea what the Obama Administration and the Democrats want to do...other than ramrod this legislation through before they run out of political capital, and spend a hell of a bunch of money in doing so.

What's say we slow down, and come up with a plan which the public supports. This is too important to do a half assed job.

But then again, our elected officials are doing it...maybe half assed is the best we can expect.
