Boatdrinks Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 as we know it. Thanks to all the deep thinkers who bought into this election being about "morals". This is what we now get. Bush wants to eliminate employment based health insurance. This guy will not rest until we have a two class society. Tax breaks for the super rich and now he wants us to pay for health insurance out of pocket, with private "catastrophic" health insurance to make up the difference. He feels people will be more "responsible" ( code for "use less") with volume of health care they used if they had to pay for it. What a bunch of crap. Is it any wonder why corporate America is so behind this president ? Just think of how much more they could pay their top executives if they didn't have to bother with wasteful costly things like heath insurance! I mean, folks should be grateful just to have a job,right? And of course the problems with health care have nothing to do with gouging by pharmaceutical companies. Well people are complaining about the cost of health care so why don't we just SCRAP THE WHOLE INSURANCE SYSTEM and put it on the backs of individuals. If they can't afford it they won't go to the doctor errr...will be MORE RESPONSIBLE with their ise of the system. Brilliant! I hope everyone who voted for this clown and his "moral values" thinks about it when their health insurance is taken away. A classic bait and switch. Lets make the election about some non-issue that really gets people fired up so we can push through our agenda. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 He feels people will be more "responsible" ( code for "use less") with volume of health care they used if they had to pay for it. I didn't see the address. However, it IS true that a lot of people abuse health care. There are people my wife and I work with who go to the doctor because they have a headache. And then there's people who are on public assistance who go to the ER because they have a hangnail. What do they care, it's free for them.

Not only that, but those greedy corporate bastards should be paying for our car insurance, house insurance and life insurance too!!! Nice knee jerk reaction. Why don't you check out some of the socialized medicine programs in Europe and what their impact has been on those economies before posting such nonsense.

"Socialized medicine". First time I ever heard that one. Let me guess, you voted for G.W.? I'd hardly call our current health care system socialized. Explain that one please.

Typical TBD Guy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 226820[/snapback] This isn't such a black/white issue.

Tux of Borg Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Yes... it's all Bush's fault that our Health care system is all !@#$ed up. Don't blame the countless other administrations (rep and dem) that have done nothing to fix the problem. Also don't blame those who fake injuries so that they don't have to work.

Why can't anyone see thiat. Geez. I guess I'll never get angry at the prospect of losing something I already have again. AT least not on this board. I wan't to keep my insurance and now I'm a communist and probably a relative of Castro. I guess I'll stick to football with this bunch! Does everyone on this board pay for their own insurance or something? Own a corporation maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
