Re: Single-payer health care plan dies in Senate
And one more before I go, in the epidemic thread, the BBC article I quoted mentioned a death rate of .026% death rate from swine flu in Britain, in the US it's .018%, a significant, if small numerical difference.
(figure retrieved from a briefing held yesterday at the Lebanon VA Medical Center to regional community leaders and was dated 7 Dec 2009)

Healthcare for my eyes
Well, now this is just becoming more political copying/pasting. Hey, you may want to quote your source btw since there's a copywright explicitly put at the end of that article and on the end of each part of it. It is none other than our very own Ann Coulter! http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/...gi?article=326 COPYRIGHT 2009 ANN COULTER DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE 1130 Walnut, Kansas City, MO 64106

Re: Single-payer health care plan dies in Senate
Wow! You ran out of gas! And then decended into Hate.
Free and/or affordable healthcare should be a Right. YES,,, THE CAPITALIZATION of the 'R' in "Right"....is intentional. But I agree with you about many other things!

Re: Single-payer health care plan dies in Senate
I'll tell you what SW you can keep your Health care in Ireland, and we'll keep ours.... walking around and looking at people in walmart is a far sight from knowing squat about health care. My Wife was digniosed with cancer on a fri and by the next friday she was getting treated, and we HAD NO HEALTH INSURANCE... put that in you don't live in the USA pipe and smoke it. You don't know squat.

I am glad your wife got treated without insurance within a day. Is that supposed to be unique to the US? I also worked and can still work if I choose to, in the medical field. Think, before you speak.

Or if you agree that they deserve to be compensated, SOMEONE has to pay. Then by free healthcare do you mean that you just want someone else to foot the bill when you see a doctor? Who?

Re: Single-payer health care plan dies in Senate
Healthcare for many is an act of of Mercy and Compassion before one of profit, I'd say the R might be capitalized because it is perhaps a Divine Right. I personally prefer the term Human Right.
Yep we are all entitled to and people with more may ought to want to give to those with less because of another another Human value, Charity. Why? Community- and that's who pays for it, everytime, anyway. We all do. I guess we could turn away from community, have no charity and forget we are merciful and compassionate. We could suck like that, but I choose not to.
