DEMOCRATS; GROW A PAIR.

When Right-Wingers push, you need to push back and stop being a bunch of wimps. Force them to filibuster so the American people will know who the are. You cannot put a price tag on the lives of human beings. Healthcare is a human right. The life of a man is worth just as much as the life of an unborn child. Where are the pro-lifers on healthcare for those who do not have healthcare?
What right-wingers are doing is offering their condolences to the American people as if they were casualties of war in Iraq.
If we can take care of people in other countries, and that not be socialism, we can certainly take care of our own.
We send billions into outer space and it does not save one life. Who send the most money in outer space, wins the race. When the healthcare bill is pass, the American people wins the race.

"life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

Looks like healthcare falls right into that phrase to me.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

In a representative republic, all public officials answer to us, the people. We don't answer to them.

They are not to get so drunk on authority as to push bad stuff on us, just because they can. If the people tell the elected officials they are doing it wrong, they need to listen to their constituents. Not to the special interests, not to the weird voices in their heads, not to their own egos.

The voice of the people is being heard. And wonder of wonders, they are listening.

Their fix is not a good fix, they need to start over fresh and do what folks want done.

You should read the whole quote. How is healthcare something to be protected from Government oppression?

"We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Thomas Jefferson

All men are created equal..... That means that all people should have access to what they need to stay alive.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Do you ever wonder why people get so angry at you when you pull stunts like this?

The whole quote, in context. You aren't allowed to choose phrases like you are dining at a buffet, just grazing on the candies and leaving the broccoli and green beans alone.

Please show me anybody who is not permitted the opportunity to access health care or live in a $3 million home? All they have to do is work for it.

So you think the founders intended for children to die because their parents could not afford the medication to keep them alive?

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Considering the state of knowledge in the field of medicine, they would have had no problem with it.

You should read up on what Doctors believed back then. Tax money for that? Don't make it a worse joke!

Then you obviously cant read.

So you think the founders intended for children to die because their parents could not afford the medication to keep them alive?

No. I think the Founders intended the parents of said children to use their God given freedom to do whatever they could to support their children.

It's very clear they did not set up a Federal government in order to support said children and that they wanted to clearly limit the power of the government.

Here, try these and look again. I don't see health care in that sentence.

They do have access to it. There is no one standing outside of a hospital or doctors office baring them from entering.
