Did you just say Universal Healthcare (which i assume is similar to the NHS), where anyone can be seen and treated as a human being, not only those that can pay the bills, is a stupid idea?

Seeing how we are in a Economic Crisis, and do not have the trillions to pay for it. Yes right now it is a stupid idea.

I got into this kind of argument with some Christian Extremists nut the other day quoting that Obama's ideas to take money in taxes from the rich to fund national programs for the less well off was ungodly.

Sick me on them, that kind of stupidity really....well I believe castration would benifit this world greatly

As soon as i pointed out that he was infering that the Rich have a greater priority in the afterlife than the faithfull he shut up. Is this really what im seeing? People so obsessed with the fact its 'the other sides ideas' that theyre doing their best to ridicule anything they come up with? Even if its blatanty a good idea?

Those people tend to be at the fringe of society, and I mean absolute fringe.

Of course if BUSH was the one doing these mysterious horrible atrocities on the other hand...

If Bush had lifted the ban on news organizations covering coffins of servicemen coming off aircraft, or tried to pass the idea that Veterans injured in a war should pay for their own Health Care for the injuries. I promise you I would be just as pissed.

Thats called politics. If hes wanting to push for Universal Healthcare, and it gets instated they wont have to pay for it anyway...

I think you picked the wrong quote.

As for paying for it, Obama's budged already has a "Down payment" of 600 Billion dollars for Universal Healthcare. If that is just a down payment, you can imagine how many trillions the actual number goes to, to finance it.

Now I don't mind Health Care Reform, as long as it is a original idea and not a copy and paste of Britain or Canada. But we just can't afford it right now. I mean that is what these tea parties are about, the anger of so much out of control spending.
