Can't believe Brown won

Krieg

If you would have told me just 2 weeks ago that a Republican was going to win the seat ol Chappaquiddick Ted had and be able to stop the Democrats take over of Healthcare, I would have said you are full of $hit. But you have to admit, this has to be the irony of all ironies. The seat held by Kennedy who championed Socialized medicine is won by a Republican who now will stop it. (THANK GOD) Gotta love it. November is going to be very interesting...

But Laker, you already have socialized medicine in BC. Don't worry, the death rate of women with *** cancer is far higher in Britain, which also has socialized medicine. It's okay, your treatment is only as important as you are and if you are old, your status goes way down. Soylent Green is Grandpa!

The thing people don’t stop and think about is why health care is so expensive. Stop and think about the level of care that was available 30 years ago, and what is available to you now. My dad, being 72, would have been dead several times over now without the technology we have. Various surgeries, stints, laser things, and what not to prevent strokes, heart attacks etc. As it is, he has certainly gotten his monies worth from Medicare…..very expensive. So we could roll back prices to the 70’s – as long as were willing to have 70’s level of technology.

Time for the snarky left speak now. I love when liberals call the other side small thinkers. It's funny it alway comes from the left.... us dumb, gun toten, chaw spitting Americans who can't make the right decision to give up our freedom and let the government run our life.

I don't want anyone to die or go without health care. I will agree the health care system needs some serious fixes as well as the insurance industry. The path we were headed down was dangerous and reckless and all in the effort to push an agenda while a certain party held all the power and could dictate every aspect of it. Before anyone babbles the non-sense of the Republicans not bringing anything to the table get a clue. The Democrats want it their way and there is no compromising with them. Now they are going to have to listen.

Some here have assumed all of us small thinkers actually want this hope and change they were trying to shove down our throats. Like Senator Brown said, "We can do better than this" I say "gas up the truck". All of our BIG thinking liberal BOTL's have a great surprise coming in November. The small thinkers can push back really hard when people who think they know all the answers start telling us how stupid we are and what is best for us. They usually exempt themselves from what is good for all of us also which makes us small thinkers very suspicious.

This is rather off topic and really not too important I guess, but how did this thread get stuck in the Trades, Passes, and Bombs section of the forums? No biggie, just seems outta place. Oh yeah, woot on the win in MA!!!

Quite true, this belongs in non related section. Perhaps a moderator could move it.

Lol----Laker and Squirrel, and us 3 are the ones accused on changing topics and not sticking to what is being discussed........ This thread was evidently so needed to be seen by all members it wasnt even placed in the right forum.

so you are saying that the thousands of people in canada that cross our borders and pay cash to have a better delivery for their baby are actually doing so because of the absolutely top notch care they get for "free". i don't know what type of family you have or how old you are but its important to me to have quality care. I PAY money to make sure they are taken care of. not anyone else and even if they did pass a universal healthcare bill, i wouldn't qualify but i would pay more taxes so someone else can. real fair

you and I both Pheebs. I can say this, it's a lot cheaper to live in Columbus Ohio than it is to live here, when housing costs are concerned, but the property taxes are 250 more a month for my brother in law. He pays 4500 a year, i pay 1500. but they also have better schools so it's the difference in private school costs vs. public.
