Great work getting the "noted remarks" scoop. When others are able to read it from the link they will be shocked! It goes to the same “you consider stories like this” FOX news story.

It's as if even THEY have given up, or they're in such disarray at this point due to their messiah's lack of promise-keeping from the campaign that they can't formulate a good plan of attack. They had so much going for them 7 months ago, didn't they? Bummer, dude. had a troll worthy of our best efforts?

I've said it a million times. Anyone who complains about a "cold bureaucracy" of a government run health care system has never had to deal with a private insurance company regrading any real health issues. The "rationing" of health care happens all the time now. .. I’ve said it a million times.

The “rationing” of health care happens all the time now.

The concept of medical care insurance keeping everyone alive at any cost does not exist, well unless you are a Congress Critter. I'm not sure how the cap works on the insurance from my employer, but there is also a cap on my coverage too. It's a topic that does not get talked about, but rationing of heath care is occurring now for economic reasons. Dr. Obama's heath care prescription will just make the topic subject to much more public discussion and scrutiny. I'm really not looking forward to a system where the government determines the worth of human life, but it seems that's where this is heading. Erick,
