Drop HCR NOW! Make the Capitalist bastards COMPETE for our money!
Let the Insurance Industry and Big Pharma find their own damn way to make their products appealing and 'affordable.'


If the free market is all that, PROVE IT

3. Oh sure, if I give up my Medicare and Medicaid I can live without it
but who is going to pay for my health care?

9. For my grandchildren and other family members that do not have
health care. I have to watch these young people go without medical care and can do nothing about it. Yes it is not ALL we want but it will get them that subsidy to get into the doctors office.

5. Of course they won't...

as a matter of fact, they can't. That would negatively affect the share holders, can't have that.

That's the 'great' thing about the capital/government convergence, they can blame each other 'til the cows come home, the capitalists continue to rake in the filthy lucre and those responsible for governance can continue to suck at their teat.
