So are you saying Senator Harkin mischaracterized the bill?
Unlike some who've sold their brains to the DNC, I have the ability to think for myself. But, no, I would not say Harkin "mischaracterized" the bill. That is way too lenient a description. But I would say he is lying his useless piece of shit political ass off.
Let's give everyone a Cadillac plan......oops, but then we have that old transfer of wealth, stealing from the rich, Socialist dog argument to deal with.
I suggest making sure everyone have basic access while leaving the "cadillac" plans available, since they, too, work. Why go for the cadillac plan for everyone since, by YOUR words, merely adequate plans are just as good? And you still cling to your assininely stupid argument that people will not accept a cover the poor plan, but they will accept "you'll pay for the poor AND take our plan up the ass" plan.
Face it, your arguments are pure trash, and your rhetoric just grows more desperate sounding as your illogic and outright lies are exposed for what they are.
I'll go one better. While hospices are usually associated with the terminally ill let's look at an individual with hypertension aggravated by worry and stress. If it's due to financial worries let's have a plan where those folks receive a lump sum payment up to $100,000. Pay down the mortgage. Erase all the CC debt. Relieve whatever is causing the worry and stress. That would be preferable care, wouldn't it?
In the meantime a guy who doesn't have insurance but suffers an injured intervertebral disc resulting in painful movement and, eventually, job loss....well, c'est la vie. He won't die whereas the fella with hypertension may very well suffer a fatal stroke so we shouldn't deny the person with hypertension the right to have such a policy and exempt him from contributing to a plan which covers people with spinal injuries.
Agree?
Not even worth responding, except to point out once again how ridiculous and desperate your arguments are becoming. Just watch out for too much foaming at the mouth, it can end up shorting out your keyboard.
So why wasn't SS structured that way? Why the need for a government plan? Just help those who have no retirement funds.
There are many who would say we don't NEED an all-encompassing government plan. There were many who said as much back when SS was forced on us. The "need" for a government plan is YOUR claim. And like all plans of this type, even the most optimistic supporters have to admit it will end up on the skids unless it is seriously revamped. What socialist will never admit to is their schemes simply cannot be indefinitely sustained.
Control of what? What is causing your nightmares? What devious, dastardly plan does the government have? Please, let us all in on it. Have you discovered a top secret document with reference to a "Dr. Morrow"?
How many billions of dollars are spend on health care annually? Do you not recognize the POWER behind controlling that big a slice of the economy? The amount of money represented by the authority to accept and deny insurance carriers on the government's approved list could buy half of South America.
Do you have any concept of the old saying "power corrupts"? The way the "reform" bill is written literally BEGS corruption at multiple levels, and you can bet your lemming like frontal lobes that there are those already in line with their grubby little hands shoved under the table.
