Why is Obamacare wrong?

Because it's socialism.

Case closed.

[Tony]

It's nowhere nearly as socialistic as Medicare. We could have avoided all this controversy if we just extended that program.

[King Ludd]

If socialism is so bad I challenge all those communist ass old people to denounce medicare coverage. That's what I thought.

[Lou Candell]

And just why is every aspect of socialism wrong?

[francesca]

Good job, Grace-Marie, in pointing out specific reasons why Obamacare is a prime example of government overreach.

This is ridiculous. Obama care is not gov't health care. It is run by private for profit companies. The Republican party today is passing one law after another totally telling women what requirements they have to meet before they can choose their own medical decisions, and they want to complain that obamacare is inserting their way into people's lives. Give it up! Just admit that the reality is the gop does not care if people are uninsured. they do not care if people die because they don't have insurance, or they lose everything if they get cancer. and why should they get insurance if they have used it before in their lives.

I call obvious bullshit on this. Let's see the gender-specific laws in question.

Some matters should not be left to the marketplace. Neither the private sector nor the gov't should be allowed to make a profit from the inevitable deterioration of human health because of age and/or disease. Capitalism is not the answer to every problem. Making money from others' fear of economic devastation due to sickness is immoral.

Winter is coming, we prepared tory burch a rich style, high inventory, high discount prices, attentive service to prepare for 2011 Christmas and New Year 2012, what are you waiting.

Currently uninsured people are costing us 45 *Billion* a year?!?!?!

That is BILLION. With a capitol "B". That is 9 times what we spend each year to run the FBI.

Who is currently paying for that?
