Why is the president suddenly so afraid of a single-payer solution to America's healthcare crisis?

Because he knows although his marxist synchphants don't think about it, the rationing portion of his plan will be esentially government mandated euthanesia. So what's wrong with that my marxist-leninist friends? Huh, tell me about it.

Those politically connected will get around rationing by a simple phone call from somewhere in Washington D. C. This is the way that medical care works in totalitarian systems.

So kiddies save your pennies so that you can go to Switzerland for seriousd medical treatment.

WEell Friends the medical systems in Europe are pretty bad in cluding our blessed allies the French.

Year after year we find the wealthy and the politically connected and anyone who can pick up the travel expenses flying to New York, Boston Rochester MN or Chicago for diagnosis and therapy.

Remember even a British Prime Minister had to go to Boston to get undone a failed Europian surgical ptroceedure and get it repaired. Why did your hero Belefonte have serious surgery preformed twice here when he hates this country but apparently likes our medical system.

Why did the king of Saudi Arabia go to Boston for a relatiely simple operation??? He did. Why did the Shaw of Iran keep coming to a hospital in the United States when France and Germany were so geographically close to him.

For those of you who find a problem with your insurance company refusing to cover a given medication GO BUY IT YOURSELF. With Obamacare you won't be able to go buy it. Can't afford it? Why did you go buy a big flat screen TV? or a new car or a new supply of POT or fill up you credit cards with nonsense?

It ain't going to be good with Obama care regardless of what your hopes are, ie namely free and all that you want--- in your dreams kiddles.

I've seen European socialized medicine, you don't want it!

Toi me it is going to be an interesting event but I can escape it, can you?

Start praying for a return of Bush policies.

Kate this boy is an angry black man and his wife walks around with a chip on her shoulder. It is not a cool demeanor that he has it is cold contempt for and hatred of many people and institutions.

He has never done a damned thing. Why hell Kate when you think about it he couldn't run a toy train.

Well he propmised a lot---, "free" medical care, cheap medications, and of course he promised to penalize the "rich".

What could be more satisfying than to stick it to the wealthy?

I worked in a socialist country for a year. The middle class in a socialist country is miserable, cramped apartments, crowded streets, inflation etc. I worked at a univeristy at t5he post mdoctorate level--- the kids would do anjything to get out of there to come here. It is an effort to to get a postage stamp, one must report to the police any household move and on it goes. Check into a hotel and they keep you passport until departure.

BTW our wealthy friends had it very good, better than what comparably wealty have it here, ,maids. cooks, cleanming personell; gardners and butlers.

Yes they skillfully sold everybody an impossible dream with the help of the obscene media attacks on George Bush.

Wait until they hae to put up with the bureaucracy of medical care, I sure as hell saw that .

Euthanesia

Socialized medicine is essentially a govermnent mandated euthanesia program; that is except for the politically connected as it is in totalitarian states.

Look you take an elderly individual, stop his expensive end of his days therapy such as renal dialysis, or expensive chemotheraputic threatments to assuage pain, give him a lot of morphine, it's cheap, to keep him in a semicomotose state and bingo we SAVE MONEY. Additionally as a bonus after the government kills the poor SOB he'll no longer recieve Social Security checks.

Wowee a Win Win situation WELCOME TO KEYNAN MEDIDCAL CARE. We ain't no longer a country based upon the Judeo-Chjristian ethic.

In the meantime go buy your third large flat TV screen, go to the malls with your credit cards and buy lots of nonsence, get a new car or two. Hell the rich guys will pick up your health care costs so have good time---- until you need expensive "non cost effective' therapy. The it will be Bush's fault.

OMG

Who in their right mind gives a damn about these miscreants that we have caged at Gitmo?

Unconstitutional treatment?, hearings? detentions??? Good God, simply forget it and spend you time praying for our Country that is now in the destructive grips of Marxist/Leninists.

Chop brush, no he don't, don;t even know how

Heavens to Betsy this boy from the south side of Chicago would never think of hoeing a row of beans, using a #10 scoop, making mooshine (maybe though growing a little pot in a crowded apartment with grow lights) get on a horse show some very liberal girl straight Kentucky Brown whiskey and then the bed of of your pickup truck (Oh my goodness, Hunthorse how could you).The same might be said of the author of this amusing piece.

These guys are effete slack wristed liberals. Lenin referred to these types as useful idiots.

I've lived in some the the largest cities in Europe and the USA, ,but I've kept my rural roots. Those of us fortunate to live in the Blessed Flyover Country beg the cosmopolitans,and metrosexuals to keep flying over us, please don't stop.

Yes you've got the votes so you'll simply go ahead with the rape of this magnificent country.

America was not made in some crowded city/ghetto.
