That noise you just heard? The point, whizzing past your head again.

Nope, it wasn't the point doing the whizzing.
It was the change you were supposed to believe in.

No health insurance reform.

Election.

Health insurance reform.

Hmmmm....

WOOHOO! We can be just like Canada where the CMA issues reports stating that soaring health care costs, doctor shortages, and unacceptable wait times are putting lives at risk and sapping billions of dollars from the economy! YAY!

Virginians are already forced to buy health insurance.

They call it medicare.

Billions? Is that all?

If the US cut health care spending by a trillion dollars, we'd still spend more than Canadians do.

The operative word in this thread is "tax".

Medicare is a tax.

The penalty for ignoring the federal mandate that individuals/couples must purchase acceptable to the government health insurance coverage is a tax.

Obama argues to the public that it is not a tax.
We all know why.

His Deputy Assistant Attorney General argues to the court that it IS a tax.
We all know why.

Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.

Last time I checked, in US currency, there are 1000 billions in one trillion.
So yes, billions.

The Country Music Association?

lol

Iky, you already lost this argument.

Again...who cares?

If we get more service for less money by paying a "tax," than by fattening the wallets of insurance company executives, who gives a flying f#@$ what you call it?

You are again exposing the bankruptcy at the heart of the "conservative" argument, Iky--Bush was a disaster, doing nothing is not an option, and your side lost the debate.
