I wish I had a chip...I need comfort food - reminds me of Glenn!

No one in the US is denied health care. Besides the health departments, which handle non-emergency cases, the ER can turn no one away. I don't know many doctors who would turn anyone away because of inability to pay the entire bill up front. Payments can be arranged. For those who cannot work and cannot pay medical bills, we have medicare and medicade, not to mention social security disability - which pays quite well.

I don't want any employer out there to drop benefits to their employees because of a nationalized healthcare program. When that happens, and it will because employers won't pay for benefits when employees can get them for free, the system will overload and you won't be able to get in to see a doctor.

This is the basic reason that socialism and nationalizing healthcare do not work (which, by the way, are the same thing!).

I used to think Sean Hannity was a little far fetched when he kept referring to Obama as radical. I didn't know if I would go that far. Now - I do go that far. Bush made a lot of mistakes (as we all do in life) but he didn't whine about the situations he was delt. Obama is a whiner. He keeps saying he inherited this mess, but look how much WORSE his mess is going to be. He's breaking promises of transperancy. All the poor that voted for him didn't see a big check in the mail the day after the election either. I bet (just my opinon) that a lot of folks who voted for him that were first-time voters actually thought that he would help them immediately. Once you are politically active for a while - you realize nothing happens immediately.

If I can't manage my own household, why would I want to join with other screwed up households as well? Would that make it better, or would that increase the problem with more and differing opinions that we (the US) already have among ourselves? My religion talks about a one-world government and that is exactly what a global economy would bring about. I am totally against the globalization of the economy for many reasons. And if now is the time that it is realized - God help us all.

Our government, that works for the people and is supposed to be by the people, should not be so complicated that "the people" can't understand it. How hard should it be to keep a military, maintain a couple of programs for those who CANNOT help themselves and maintain a budget? What a mess our government has gotten itself into. What worries me is how, even with a great President, Cabinet and Congress, things are so screwed up now, who can fix them?
