It could work on a state level, but there's undeniably more potential for it working better on a federal level. We're not looking for a program that can merely hang with the private mega-corps; we're looking for something that can compete well enough to actually be able to drive down costs while simultaneously covering people who are not good, business-wise, to insure. A program that's gonna do that needs some big muscles.
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) Calls For Health Care Bill To Be Named After Kennedy | LiveWire
Given how nasty this debate has become over the past few months, I hope that Kennedy's passing and recognition of his successful efforts to reform health care (HIPAA, SCHIP), and his extensive work on the current bill(s) now being debated, will at least bring a temporary end to the more ridiculous distortions out there."In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American."
Man I don't how you do it. I know we should know thy enemy but listening to that shit makes me want to strike down upon them with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is The Finesse when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Never ceases to amuse me how people choose to use the most extreme examples possible to defend their political views.
Hypocrite.
That's the only way you could respond, since, well, I was right. There's no such thing as free health care. Only free of charge to the individual.
I wasn't disagreeing with Dimm (or even referencing anything he said. I'm assuming that's how the lady referred to it), just more so commenting on a phrase I hear slung around with the majority of the people using it having no comprehension of what they're saying. Like I said, some people can't grasp that.
If you disagree, give me valid reasons, not useless butthurt garbble like that. That, or continue to ignore my posts. It's not hard.
You're the one over there throwing tampons into the crowd hoping someone calls on you. Like Rhinox said: read the thread, the people who were beefing with each other earlier started to have a more rounded discussion. You felt like the last kid picked for kickball so you started dropping one-liners 3 pages ago screaming PICK ME PICK ME that have been ignored up until now.
So since you sound like an ignorant little fuck and I was bored I decided to troll you. Grats. You happy you got that attention now?
Fantastic attempt to save face.
I was posting one-liners because everything I had to say at the time could be said in one line. Unlike some people (yes, you), I don't feel the need to add fluff and turn them into paragraphs to make myself sound more legit. For a while there I thought you might be related to Stephen King.
Anyways, carry on~
Never ceases to amaze me how people fail to understand that political cartoons are one of the more extreme examples of satire.
It also never ceases to amaze me that those with the most extreme political views will take offense to anything they don't favor, or that they've been told not to favor.....
..... or their ability to troll graciously.
