Why dont you tell your friend Apple that the Democrats had a Super Majority In Congress and could have passed any legislation they wanted to...instead they pushed this crap bill down our throats ....its crap ... if it looks like crap, walks like crap and smells like crap...it must be crap.
Obama wanted a simple one-payer, national health care plan. Unfortunately, the super majority Democrats had a few members who didn't want to go along meaning there wasn't a super majority who would vote for it. If a few Repubs had joined in there wouldn't have been any problem but we all know the party of "NO".
So, then came the deals and the compromises until there were enough votes. Don't blame Obama. He wanted a straight-up, national plan.
We all know a simplified plan would have been better but it's difficult to negotiate with people who do not want any plan. The current plan can be adjusted over time. The point is this plan puts the country on the road to a full coverage plan for everyone which some people do not want under any circumstances. That's the beauty of it. The discussion of whether everyone should have medical coverage has been settled. Now the discussion focuses on "how" to best do it. Now people either have to discuss it or accept the plan that's going into effect.
In the past those who were/are opposed to any plan that covers everyone simply didn't discuss it. They disagreed with the idea so they didn't talk about it. The problem, in their mind, was settled. What better way to stop such a plan coming into effect than to simply not discuss it? That was the Repub's MO. Stall long enough and the idea just fades away until another decade passes and someone brings it up and then do the same thing.
Hillary gave it a shot back in the 90s. The idea was run into the ground and then forgotten about.
Where was the Repub concern when Cheney, speaking about war with Iraq said, "It was an option and we could afford it." Was anyone thinking about universal medical as an option?
One has to look at the history of medical coverage discussions. It was brought up and each time trampled into the ground. All those years wasted that could have been spent fine tuning a plan.
The time had come to put something forward. Anything. Now there is a timetable. If someone has better ideas before a certain portion of the bill goes into effect they have a deadline to submit it or the bill takes effect. The stalling tactic is over.

I'll lay it out for you ... who the hell do you think you are?
So lets put things into prespective ...PUNK. I mean if you want to start the name calling I could do it as well as you .. you fuckin twit.
Lets talk about France ... a Country with about 63 million in Population .. as compared to the USA with a population of 308 mil and growing. What works for France doesnt mean its going to work for the USA. The French System is the best system of all in Europe no doubt.. it has the best blend and least restrictions. We definitely can learn from it. One of the big hurdles is the cost of the average American physician who earns more than five times the average US wage while the average French physician makes only about two times the average earnings of his or her compatriots.
By the way you fuckin moron... France has National health insurance, not the fucked up hack job Health Care Mandate The Inept One shoved down our throats .
Why am I on Planet Nut Job..? Because I pointed out some real alternative Health Care Models that are really working.... not like this 2000 page full of slop and Tax Collection that your Heroes The Inept One and 'Ol Stretch Face out in Frisco shoved down our throats. Its Constitutionally incorrect fuck head ...if you were smart enough you would realize it you dip shit.
Why dont you tell your friend Apple that the Democrats had a Super Majority In Congress and could have passed any legislation they wanted to...instead they pushed this crap bill down our throats ....its crap ... if it looks like crap, walks like crap and smells like crap...it must be crap.
And one other thing Shit Head ... you and Cypress with the Fox News and Rush Limbaugh crap ...thats extremely weak ....
Now as far as my participation in these threads.. who the hell are you to set the rules for me?
