    Hey, Harry Reid, “Healthcare” is not a right; it is a privilege. Neither you or anyone else is responsible for my health but me…MY Health is MY Right and – and my responsibility to maintain.

    However, if you want to help Americans have that privilege of “Healthcare”, let them have the OPTION of the same privilege you have at the level you have it (just for being a corporate puppet in a suit) – ie: let people have your gravy-train coverage and your access to the top doctors of the country as well as the ability for all parents to pass on their healthcare to their family members for life, like you have… I mean, since you care so much about America… While you are at it, tell the truth to Americans about vaccinations and most drugs being a scam, as well as cancer screenings and open-heart surgery being unnecessary – and get rid of the FDA…. I mean, since you are so concerned about Americans and reducing the National Debt… Be sure to mention that people can choose NOT to be forced to accept your gravy-train coverage if they so choose – and that this will remove their bank accounts from being connected to the enforcement of this coverage… Oh, and be sure to remind people that the death panels and rationing of care provisions are NOT in this bill but that they have in-fact already been passed – ie: they were hidden in the Economic Stimulus Plans of 2008, and will be connected to your bill when it gets passed (against the peoples’ wills) so this collectively will help speed-along the population reduction plans in America…

    Also, Harry, tell America how much money and favor you stand to gain personally; tell America how much money you are being paid under the table by the corporations who stand to gain the most from Nationalized “Health”care (Illness/Disease Care) Mandates…

    exactly – a priviledge, not a right, just like eating,voting, being successful, education, etc.

    Unfortunately, after 6 (?) decades of intense govt education, most Americans are incapable of thinking correctly, even white Euro-Americans.

    Marla, ask the 30,300 people that starve to death worldwide every day in the third world.
    Then, ask the millions in America, that depend on the tax payers to feed them, by way of government entitlements.
    Entitlements are not RIGHTS.

    I think at this juncture, violence is the thing that will get more attention than talking. Everyone wants to talk. Talk about what?
    1. Finance
    2. Corruption
    3. Taxes
    4. Illegal Wars
    5. Police State
    6. Open Borders
    7. White People not welcome in their own country
    8. Zionist propaganda ruling our society
    9. Federal takeover of our schools
    10. Free trade
    12 trillion dollar debt
    13. Illegal money monopolies
    14. Corporate facism
    15. Illegal Presidents
    16. Making the Church Toothless
    17. Villifying Christian Teachings
    18. Legislating and regulating business to extinction
    19. Usurping our Constitutional Freedoms
    20. Protecting huge oligarchs
    21. Empowering thugs to harrass the citizens–IRS, ATF, NSA, FBI, etc.
    22. Blowing up buildings
    23. imprisoning legal citizens for exercising their liberties
    24. Creating a racial, cultural war to divide the masses and stir unrest
    25. Making this once fine Christian country into the dump hole that it is now.

    Ronald Jones Reply:

    coldarkstare, you are very correct. I would like to add……the more a moocher gets from government entitlements, the more “hateful” they are.

    The moochers are angry at the very tax payers their food, shelter, clothes, shoes, color televisions , cable, transportation, cell phones, heat in the winter, and air conditioning in the summer come from.

    Marla, is this why you are so hateful and angry at the taxpayers of America?

    The health care bill, because of the penalties written into it, is in my viewpoint an open declaration of war against the American people.

    People cannot afford $15k a year per person to buy this insurance. It will overnight create a huge class of criminals within our society.

    Reid is trying to buy a YEA vote from Sen. Mary Landreiu of Louisiana for 100 billion $$
    On page 432 and 433 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.”

    The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.”

    This section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing “hard ball” with Reid on health reform

    In other words, the bill spends two pages describing what could be written with a single world: Louisiana. Now, we know why the bill is over 2000 pages

    Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu.

    No doubt “the bitch” is playing hard to get with Reid. She would voted for it anyway, even though the white people of Louisiana does not want health care reform. Now is is trying to get $100 billion “pork” money for the corrupt Louisiana elite.

  • Josh Says:

    If this bill passes, the government will own our bodies. They are inept in most everything they do and they expect the citizens to embrace their control of our health. This bill is fascism at its finest. The health monopoly and insurance companies are in league with the government to decide how our personal health is managed. They already poison our food supply and now they will remove any possibility of good health by taking the freedom of decisions for our well being out of our hands. These fascist bureaucrats believe they have the answers. Their answers are forced eugenics. Bend over and take your medicine.

    I can not agree any stronger with you all. Reality Check I believe you are dead on , peaceful ways will not work. We are well pass that point now. It is very clear our so called reps disreguard every & anything the citizens want. They seem to profess they are wise but really they became fools. I do not have insurance & will not get it. Does not make sense to pay into a program for 45 years (age 20-65) , & say you did not use it. Well where is my refund. Oops sorry there is none. Like all insurance , it is a scam. We are throwing our hard earned pennies away & into the pockets of thieves. All types of insurance (extortion) should be done away with. If people want to get sucked into it fine thats their choice. However if people want to pay as they go, then so be it , that is also their choice. After all is this not America , home of the Brave & the Free. The Free to choose our own individual path. So to the band of cockroachs if you want your extortion fee’s I will give it to you in the form of 7.62/54

    If there was no insurance it would make people more responsible for their health and safety. It also would make people drive better because one accident could wipe them out financially.
