The GOP acted like a bunch of Dims yesterday as they tweaked, not repealed, Obamacare. They were not even very sure what was in the bill, Nancy Pelosi style. They did not even wait for a CBO analysis of what exactly they were voting for. Then they all went to the White House to celebrate like a bunch of retards. Of course, the main objective in Washington is simply to "get things done" that work 100%, 100% of the time for 100% of the population. This is nothing short of a socialist mentality. And since socialism is nothing but a never ending quest for the unattainable, the drum beat will continue for a single payer system
Again, if you've ever had to argue with an insurance company to get treatment after they have your money, you would't say anything so retarded.
The reason why we will probably have single payer at some point is because the current system of corporate greed can't be maintained. Not with an aging population.
The government turns down more people than private insurance.
So long as we have to beg to either insurance or the government there will be people being turned down in droves.
At the VA if veterans are too sick and expensive to treat they just put them on secret death lists.
If they are "secret" how do you know?
Exactly.
Well apparently you don't keep up with the news. A while back a doctor blew the whistle with the hospital that they worked at and made people aware of the secret off the record list of veterans who they felt they did not have enough resources to treat. After all, they were very sick and likely to die anyway, so they just were ignored.
The said doctor wrote a letter to John McCain. You know John, Mr. GOP veteran. Well shortly after he was notified the doctor was fired and the case ignored. If it were not for an obscure Congressman from Florida the scandal would have been swept under the rug.
That's how close we have become to state endorsed euthanasia.
Obama addressed the scandal how he addressed all scandals. He said he just heard about it on the six o'clock news and said he was sorry, and he fired one man in the VA who had nothing to do with the scandal.
