Massachusetts has a statewide universal health plan that it adopted under Governor Romney. A recent poll shows that around 70% of the doctors and 59% of the people like it. A major problem is that the costs have been going up 10% per year. Massachusetts found that adding everyone to a program has not lowered premiums or stopped premium increases.
Ok. Let the two other RepubliCONS with their "high morals" Gibbons and Ensign with their "zippers down" run the state of Nevada and the United States further into the ground. The KKK, oh the GOP, with their white hoods (they have ruined a lot of good sheets) handle anything for the American people, yea right. The RepubliCONS would bankrupt a lemonade stand...I will take Senator Reid any day over any CON(r)...
In the state of NY, there is a public option available on a sliding scale based on salary and dependent status. So a single person with no dependents is qualified to pay over $300.00 a month for extremely limited, preventative health coverage, as long as they don't make more than 26k a year, which is pretty much poverty level in southern NY. With those kinds of limitations, it's more desirable to quit working and try to get welfare and Medicaid, so the country desperately needs real and viable public options based on real life scenarios.
World Peace
Our expressions of love and compassion create a world at peace.
With every loving thought we hold, every kind word we express, we contribute to a world at peace. Each of us has the power to love and the ability to be patient and forgiving, no matter what is happening. Even in the appearance of turmoil and trouble, we can affirm: Peace, be still. We can still troubled waters with the power of our love. As we go about our day, we express compassion wherever possible. As we pray, we see the divine good in our loved ones and we inspire others. Centered in the divine nature of our being and the oneness that we are, we are powerful. Our smallest acts combine with the actions of others to create a world at peace, a world that works for all. "So that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."--John 17:26
vulgaris_vir: I think that if you actually look at it WE pay more than 50% in taxes. Think of income tax, state tax, sales tax, personal property tax, ect. And get ready to pay more.
Start taxing these Wall Street banksters at 90% of their overpaid compensation and tax their corrupt financial products too, and then we use the return to rebuild America including health care.
Wall Street has been instrumental in the destruction of the USA in more ways than one. For one the smartest Americans are going for big bucks but low worth jobs there, instead of becoming scientists and engineers and innovators and creating a real economy.
If the doctors quit then let them the doctor's coming from our trading partners in India and China will be glad to come here and fill the jobs American doctors won't fill.
Congress is in the process of trying to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn't read it, and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

Calling all Republicans members of the KKK
Do you know what a bigot is?
Well, anytime you label an ENTIRE group and any of it's members with one blanketed statement: That makes you a bigot.

What possibly could go wrong?
what's new about any of this?
are you speaking of specific individuals ... or of the positions/process themselves.
