Where are our Americans who never cower from reminding everyone that America is great. The Americans who proudly show the flag, care deeply about our country, fought for our country whether in war on on the streets, in the courtrooms or homeless shelters. What are they afraid of? Are they afraid we will fail?
The debate is over, now it is time to get to work. Whether you think its good policy or not. No one can argue that quality free Health Care should be the right of every American and a goal this country can and should strive to achieve. Only Americans can get it right. It is time to join the fight and stop hiding behind the fear mongering incited by special interests. We are better than that!
If we were scared of challenges would America be the country we are proud of?
Americans have changed the world, we have led the world to a better place. The country that won World War One and Two, sent brave Americans into outer space. Freed nations of tyranny, Rebuilt countries after wars and natural disasters.
Proved to the world that people of all nations, of all colors and religions can live as one and pool their unique talent and resources to make the country and the world a better place.
Why are we afraid to take up the challenge of providing free health care for every American. This is or should be an American civil right. As Americans we are the one country in the World able to get it right.
Sure it may be hard but we will stick to it and get it right!
Sure there may be problems to overcome but we will overcome them!
Since when did a challenge scare Americans to act? Man up!
We have the greatest group of humans on the face of the globe assembled under one country. We can do this !
Let us take up the challenge and commit to making it work, is there a better goal to pursue,
Naysayers stop being scared by the interests of the few, Man Up , put on your boots and get it done, Americans do not hide behind reasons to fail. We Succeed!
Prove to the World, that this Great Experiment we call America, deserves to be the leader of the Free world.
Our business has made the necessary changes over the years and done well. My husband and I are not solely locked into the medical field by any means. Far from being frightened we've spent years taking risk in search of reward. I share JH's opinions. I hope for the best but plan for the worst. I am a strong believer in the marketplace. My concern with this 2,700 page law, and the thousands more pages of regulations being written as we write, is that it will simply dictate to, and overwhelm the free market place. Hope I'm wrong. Thank you for your time and good luck to you.
I believe your mixing up two ideas , I did not claim that Healthcare is a right guaranteed by our Consitution , rather a human right earn by Americans as a benefit for making America the greatest country on the face of the earth. That the country as a whole , all it's citizens should have earned the right of at least healthcare. Is that asking too much?
We have always been a country based on personal responsibility and this ideal is slowly eroding with this mindset.
Given this, your article here claiming the game is over and to all shake hands is insulting to about half of this nation that feel they had no voice in this bill that not even those who voted for it fully understand.
It's not insulting to remind people of good sportsmanship, the game is over the bill was passed, man up and support it. They correct thing for the people who lost this vote to do is chip in and work it out. George Wallace did not like segragation when the law was past in the sixties he refused to accept it clauming the world was going to end. He even admitted he was wrong . The world will not end because of this law , if it turns out that it does not work the opponents can point the finger and say" We told you so". and elect people to dismantle it. It's a waste of time to beat a dead horse when there are new more pressing issues to discuss. The current republican candidate has no credibility on this issue , I predict he will keep his mouth shut and move on.
You pay for Police , firemen, armed forces, roads , railways,airports, weather stations, ecavuation plans, boarder paytrolls, drug inforcement agency, CIA, FBI television channels , art museums all things that make this country a nice place to live , why not affordable healthcare , millions and millions of people are denied healthcare even if the can afford it , people with preconditions.
But lets use your analogy and apply the same rationale and thinking that is applied to Obamacare to police. Our bill is called 'Obamacop' and the federal government would require all citizens to hire private security details for their families. The rationalle is that now some people use the police and do not pay taxes, and everyone lives under the protection of police, so this would make it fair. Oh, and if you can't afford to hire your personal security detail, the American taxpayer will pay it for you. Do you think this is Constitutional? Do you think this is fair? Don't we all have the human right to be safe? Just to correct your other point, NO ONE is denied healthcare if they can't afford it. People may be denied insurance because of preconditions. If you have a precondition and are willing to pay for your treatment, no one denies you because you don't have insurance.
I see people who complain about this decision going the wrong way as sore losers without the courage to move on.
Welcome to the discussion. regarding your comment: Well, we shall see how that works out, from what I understand it should be easy to change. The successful parts I am referring to are student coverage and precondition coverage.
Citing Al Gore is ridiculous. What a warped sense of history. He is the one that brought the Florida case to court. He was the one demanding recounts only in specific districts. Even the left leaning papers that recounted the votes found that Bush won. I am not sure how anyone still brings this up as a stolen election - or brings this upo as if it is common knowledge that there was a stolen election - especially after just mentioning we were off topic. Al Gore is the most ingracious SOB there is and many people wondered if he had psychological issues with the rants he came upo with during the Bush presidency.
"and please, most people just don't want to pay a little more to make sure everyone has a basic human necessity. You see the governments in europe having problems with universal health care and "large government"? didn't think so." ^^ Is this post a joke? The EU got bailouts from the federal reserve! Better catch up on current events so you don't sound like a fool next time you post.
This election will be a referendum on the healthcare law. If Rommey/Repubicans win, you cab bet obamacare will be nothing more than footnote in some textbook.
The left does not believe in freedom of speech for all, only freedom of speech for the left. Once we understand that we know we are a conservative and must not be silent. The old, but sometimes still effective, tactic of the left is to tell the right to shut up. There is still a chance for the American people to stop the decline into socialistic decay in the November election. Not because Romney is a perfect Conservative. I do not think he is. However, the political reality for Romney is he must respect and listen to conservatives. Conservative Americans will have a seat at the table with Romney, whereas Obama despises everything conservative.
