  1. Your the one who is going to pay, or your parents, so go get another job.

    indeed. i'm gonna be paying for all the bullshit that's gone on in this country the last few years. i simply have a problem calling every uninsured american lazy and unwilling to help their own situation. that's complete BS and the conservative movement does nothing but reinforce this and it's disgusting. trickle down is bullshit, our tax system is bullshit and i am behind anything that will help people to not suffer and die from treatable illness. our previous healthcare system was completely wasteful and profit-driven and it makes no sense to have an industry with an incentive to insure those who will not need medical care. i have no doubt this system will have its errors but it's a step in the right direction. i find it amusing people act like the constitution hasn't been completely shredded prior to this bill.

  2. i feel no allegiance to the democratic party i just feel we should at least have a public option, my passion for the topic has little to do with the bill itself. so many of the counter arguments are based around the fact that our government is already fucked up and that's not the fault of a different healthcare system. true, right now might not be the right time but there is a difference between that and never.

    the destruction of the family is a huge problem but if the federal government is going to continue to fund abstinence-only programs etc. and the religious right has anything to say about it nothing's gonna change there either. the most religious states have the highest divorce and abortion rates, that's been proven again and again. religion's not the only problem here but that's a debate for another time.

    the fact that we're all white males discussing this issue should tell you something. you can call me a hippy or whatever but there are people who continue to get systematically fucked because of people so intent on maintaining this system.

  3. i don't think the gov't's gonna make it perfect either. i just do not think there is any reason the health of the population should be a profitable business. it's more advantageous to cover those who do not need the care and that's completely counterproductive. competition is good for the consumer in most situations but not health care.
