You act like America is a collective random thoughts Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 10:16:39 PM
The argument that we pay more less is only valid if you include the uninsured and the under insured. The majority of the country has good insurance and receives excellent health care.

My daughter was sent home from day care today with a bad cough, she will be seen this afternoon by her highly qualified pediatrician and if needed she will go to the emergency in Plano to have test run. If it is serve she will be sent to Childrens, which is a first rate children’s hospital, for treatment. At the most it will cost $100 which I will pay out my pretax medical withholding card. If she needs to see a specialist it may take until the end o the week to see one of those unless it is an emergency. Most American receive excellent healthcare.

The system does have real issues and needs corrections but what the dems are pushing really doesn’t fix anything it simply makes the problems bigger.

By the way just when you hear them say that republicans have nothing but no you should keep in mind that is simple rhetoric to keep the base fired up and has no real basis in reality.

Yes, I realize human beings are selfish; that's something to overcome, not embrace. - 20/01/2010 06:21:33 PM 185 Views

I have seen this argument elsewhere and I am not sure it makes sense - 18/01/2010 05:28:57 PM 281 Views
