[quote=sobmaz]Why do Republicans think we as a country are too stupid to insure all of our citizens and for less money? Why do Republicans let France shame us when they can insure all of their citizens for 9% of GDP while we only insure 80% of our citizens while paying 17% of GDP?
France rates #1 in overall health care while the Greatest Country on Earth rates #37.
Ofcourse due to the opposition Obama never persued the single payer option that could have saved this country hundreds of billions, instead he went after this more expensive system and even though it pretty much keeps the status quo Republicans have gone rabid.
If you have plenty of money the U.S. health care is #1 by far. Rush Limpbrain and Shaun Insanity both get #1 health care. They are deathly afraid their tax rate may go up so that a 25 year old single mother with cancer can get the proper care. Rush and Shaun are actually upset that insurance companies will no longer be able to deny or charge higher premiums for someone with a pre existing condition (and they are quite often at an economic disadvantage because of their illness). They equate it with good drivers and bad drivers and if everyone pays the same rate the good drivers will become sloppy drivers. (stupid huh?) How can anyone in their right mind equate car insurance with health insurance? Well, Rush and Shame are not in their right mind of course.
The best example of Republican thinking is this caller on a talk show. He said he was a “Minister” and a Republican. He said, “if people want health care they should go to school, get an education so they can’t get the kind of job that provides health care”.
For my fellow thinkers out there you will see the stupidity in that statement right away (education is always good) however the Ditto heads are saying “RIGHT ON”.[/quote]
Sob: And? What does how Republicans think matter one iota? Answer? It doesn’t.
The Dems control the Presidency and Congress. They don’t need a single GOP vote to pass Obamacare. So, why harp on Limbaugh and Hannity and what they think?
Same goes for the Pelosi squalling about the Town Hall meetings. So what if American citizens show up and are angry with their elected representatives. It’s THEIR RIGHT. And, so what if they’re rude? First Amendment still allows us to be rude, right?
All of this nonsense obscures the fact that the Dems have made a hash of healthcare reform (again) and, ironically, this time Big Pharma and Big Insurance were SUPPORTING the President, unlike Hillarycare back in the Clinton Administration.
Sob, you’re carping about things that don’t matter. Neither the citizenry nor the Republicans are in a position to affect the outcome of Obamacare, so why focus there? Shouldn’t you be questioning why the Dems with a clear cut majority can’t seem to pass this bill? Perhaps Obama’s mandate isn’t quite as strong as we’ve been led to believe?
