****Health Care Is A Right You Asshole!!!

[firedupdem]

McCain blew that one big! He said it's a responsibility which opened the door for Obama to state that he voted against the package covering children! He's a fucking creep!

1. Most repukes say privilege...

McSame will probably catch hell from them for saying it was a responsibility instead.

[bluestateguy]

2. That was a slam dunk question for Obama

For a second there I was afraid he wouldn't take the shot, but he did the right thing and called health care a right. That is very important to Hillary voters.

[Skittles]

4. this is very important to all decent Americans

[MikeNearMcChord]

3. I loved how Senator Obama spoke about his dying mother

still fighting the insurance companies over her treatment, I think that struck home with many Americans, I think the insurance companies may have a shiver running down their spines, or a pucker in their sphincters come January 09.

5. As a mother, I want to take my kids to the doctor and not the

emergency room.

6. It's not an American right. It's a human right.

You must as a human have water, food, shelter AND health care when needed or you will die.

It's a human need and thus a right. If it's available to one, it should be available to all..

[firedupdem]

8. well said Bubbha Jo! n/t

[Newshues]

10. I'd never leave my computer if government

provided all that for me.

Seriously.

[bridgit]

7. I disagree. It's a shared obligation within civilized societies

[Johonny]

9. That was the one subject Obama could have nailed and didn't

No I don't think health care should be a commodity would have been nice to hear. Then go into your program. You know McCain wouldn't have the guts to touch the subject and didn't. McCain's health care plan isn't a plan it's a fantasy.

[firedupdem]

11. Yeah sure shop around for it while he taxes it as income or

something like that. He's nuts.

[madville]

12. Insurance companies are atill strong

Banks and investment firms are going down but the major health insurance companies are going to stay strong. They will throw money where they need to, in the next few years it will be to Democrats. Obama can talk all he wants but I don't see any Congress in the next ten or twenty years voting for any kind of health plan that really makes a difference. It will cost way to much and I and most people really can't stand the thought of our inept government being in control of health care.

I'm just negative but name one thing government has taken over that it hasn't ruined ?

[firedupdem]

17. Obama's plan isn't a total government take over. Look at the

plan on the website...here is a snip


The Obama-Biden plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing health care system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to implement the plan. Under the Obama-Biden plan, patients will be able to make health care decisions with their doctors, instead of being blocked by insurance company bureaucrats.

Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year.

If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options.

[madville]

20. Uses existing providers

how exactly are the insurance companies going to change from how they are now ? Employer based health insurance is the biggest scam/trap ever and we are going to have it, doesn't matter who gets elected because Obama and McCain support it.

[XOKCowboy]

18. Spoken like a true Republican...

I hate to say it but that's exactly what Ronald Reagan espoused.

[firedupdem]

19. Obama's plan? Really? n/t

don't remember Reagan's plans....I was young and dumb.

[and-justice-for-all]

13. Well according to those Authoritarian, Social Dominist

it is something you must earn.

Indeed, it is a right.

[sandnsea]

14. A lot of people think that it's a personal responsibility

Even some DUers. Although not me and I guess I have to add that.

We'll see how that one plays out too. Funny that he says that about health care while proposing a $300 billion bail-out for mortgages.

[XOKCowboy]

15. Just about everywhere but here..

We're a 3rd world country when it comes to infant death. USA USA

16. YES ! McLiar did sound like a true cruel Republican on that issue. ///
