of my health care. I died a lonely death because of the Corporate Lobbyist Party."

I can only wish for the same fate for those who will kill Health Care Reform. But Congressmen have great health care. They have an exchange of health insurers with many to pick from. And it's all paid for by the Government (i.e. YOU AND ME!).

By the way, those of you who have health insurance now. In the next ten years health insurance will become so expensive many employers won't be able to afford it and will drop the group coverage you now enjoy. In the next ten years about one in three of those who have group insurance now will LOSE IT. HOW LUCKY DO YOU FEEL??

of course, if you have to you can go to a hospital emergency room. They will help you. But what if they REALLY DECIDE TO TAKE GOVERNMENT OUT OF YOUR HEALTH-CARE AND THE GOVERNMENT STOPS PICKING UP THE COST OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE, FOR THE UNINSURED, AT HOSPITALS? I guess then you'll have to pay cash upfront before you can get treatment. Got a few thousand dollars in you pocket??

1. Mass madness

have the average American lost their mind,we all need medical treatment at sometime in our stay here on planet earth,and the crooks in congress refuse to pass a bill that will help all of us get needed treatment.The congresscritters(mostly republicans),cry it will cost too much,but they don't mnd the cost as long as their cushy medical plan works for them.Too expensive for health care ,but we spend billions to kill innocent civilians in foreign lands,the madness must cease,the looney bins are already too croweded.

2. Of course, it will cost too much if we DON'T get some health care reform.

3. was interviewing a Libertarian Texas doctor yesterday

a few comments made it clear where his politics were.

He said many of his patients were losing their jobs, and therefore didn't have any health insurance.

I said "oh, well, that's the way the system is set up" and shrugged, and kept going. He looked pretty horrified.

He helped make his own damned bed, he can fucking well lie in it.
