Wine in moderation is good for the body and the soul.

Fast forward a few months.

Obama is now what?
Extend, hell no they wanted to kill it. Recall the gang of six who worked it, Max Baucus a real DINO, Ethanol Grassley, Bishop Hatch, etc. it is no wonder they made a mess of it.

BTW I neglected to note that he had x-rays, MRI Echocardiogram as well all at no cost to hime, oh and the ambulance ride as well.

That would help me, but not the people that need it the most.

The ones that don't make enough to have a Federal Income Tax Liability in the first place.

But then those are the 47% that the Republicans want to die.

True that.(in bolded)

Good to hear your son is doing better Rob. Saying a prayer and sending well wishes for his swift recovery.

It was an attempt to jump start the single payer plan. Around 50% of the workforce gets healthcare from employers and that is not taxed. If you are a single payer, it is taxed and cannot be claimed as a medical expense unless it is above $7.5K.

Obamacare will subsidize the ones that are unable to pay anyway and are the 47% that the TP wants to abandon.

Die, abandon----same difference. They're constantly referred to as "parasites", "freeloaders", or "layabouts" as I recently heard Ann Coulter call them. Didn't Hitler love to refer to people he hated as "parasites"? Those are not exactly terms one would use to describe anybody one gives a damn about, now are they?
