You are such an expert......until you invoke the reference of the Constitutional Attorney on Rush Limbaugh's program. What a moron he is and it is amazing that we have so many ignorant people here who actually believe him. You right wingers really are quite upset with the prospect of the poor, children and elderly being taken care of. Our obscenely expensive health care system is unsustainable and threatens any economic recovery from what Little King George and Company bequeathed us in our economic ruin as a direct result of their reckless policies. If you are so outraged by health insurance companies being regulated and required to perform, where was your outrage over the Bush Administration policies which denied paying attention to this matter while running up the largest deficit in history? I guess two trillion dollars in failed wars with the corruption and fraud in the military industrial complex is ok by you, but any expenditures to bring our nation back into the realm of the developed world with basic health care availability for our citizens is taboo? By the way, the GOP has tried to dismantle Medicare and Medicaid for decades, so this feigned concern by the "conservatives" in our government playing these partisan political games of obstruction to any and every compromised position from the White House is comical. You and your party offer no solutions except supporting the status quo, which is unsustainable. Healthcare is a basic human right and some things should not be about profit.
What nonsense. Boehner and the GOP are issuing lies and misinformation about this entire legislation. The democratic process has been clear and fair and President Obama, unlike Little King George who is thankfully gone, has bent over backwards to compromise with the conservatives. They are the ones playing political games of obstruction; the partisan politics they usually play.
The losers are the GOP Senators, Representatives and their ignorant followers who believe everything is just fine and does not need any reform. We are all losers if the GOP, apparently prostitutes for the health care insurance industry, derail this legislation. Far from perfect legislation, but nothing credible was offered by the Republicans in their insane partisan political game of obstruction.
I think you are confused with your "facts" about insurance companies as many on this blog seem to be.
Our bloated "national security" apparatus should definitely be reviewed in its waste and fraud. This "monstrosity" will only get worse with inaction and we can enjoy status equal with Mexico and other second and third world nations with the "solutions" you supposed conservatives offer in your comical opposition to every and any legislation offered by the Obama administration. I love how the poor and working poor Americans are always demonized by you right wingers.......shame on you. They help to create the wealth for all you supposedly overtaxed Americans. We are a part of the world, especially the third world with non support for living wages for our workers with no access to health care.......a dream of conservatism for decades, to create a banana republic here.
It seems our current economic demise is a direct result of the unregulated greed preached by the GOP and its captive adherents who were led to believe they are more special than other Americans because they could play the stocks while our nation was being sold out by Biff the Banker on Wall Street. BTW, Biff is a Republican.
This country's major problems and our situation was created by a decade of GOP rule in Washington, under Little King George, where insurance companies, investment banking giants and pharmaceutical industries were allowed to run amok with no regulation. Make sure your blame is fairly distributed.
Quite a few clowns to go around. From Chuck Grassley, Boehner, McConnell, DeMint, Stupak, Bunning and Good Ole Lamar from Tennessee............be complete in your clown assessments.
Lets not forget the biggest clown of all, Little King George from Texas.
What an idiot you are. Fascists such as Little King George are ok, right? But a very reasonable, and actually quite conservative constitutional scholar is a communist? You need help.
You are obviously quite ignorant in your deranged grasp of history. The defacto Fascists, Hitler, Mussolini (to whom you comically refer) and Franco were supported by right wing fanatics from America, such as you obviously are with your offensive depiction of our president. Little King George was really fascistic and using Stalin, a real tyrant posing as a communist, has very little meaning in your sordid demonization of Joe Biden. You obviously have no idea of any of these figures you so erroneously combine.
What free market system? Do you really think that is what we have? Do you not think that the Wall Street bailouts (instigated by Little King George when he realized his failure....)are NOT government intrusion and collusion with corrupt and massive industries? Perhaps you should study FASCISM instead of offering these typical knee jerk responses to the supposedly evil federal government, which has many fine people working for our nation, including our military personnel. Where is your outrage over the actions of the health insurance industry denying coverage and making it too expensive? The federal government already runs a third of our system and the health insurance industry and many medical providers, especially for profit nursing homes, routinely over charge and steal from the taxpayers because we do not have enough regulation. Hypocrites. There is no free market, at least not for working and middle class Americans.
