I have no trouble with people disagreeing with me - I love a good debate. But please don't put words in my mouth.
And let me clarify my bit about how nobody is screaming about costs. It would have been more accurate of me to say that the screaming is almost entirely about politics and demagoguery.
Nobody - not one single legislator to my knowledge - and please correct me if I'm wrong - has proposed so much as a study to put down in writing WHY our costs are so high. My *theory* is that nobody wants to tick off the ABA (the lawyers that profit) or the AMA (the doctors that profit from the control of our teaching hospitals) or Big Pharma that can charge US ridiculous prices for medicines that other countries get for a fraction of what we pay (as we apparently foot the bill for the world's research and development).
Obamacare turned out to be much more treating the symptom instead of the disease.

I suppose I should apologize as it was not my intent to "put words in your mouth". Perhaps it would be more fair to say that your tone is always supportive of whatever this WH does.
I suppose I shouldnt post on here much as I get too emotional especially on this subject and perhaps lose my objectivity. I just know I have been trying to have somebody agree with me that a bill like this, born of backroom deals and actual blackmail and payoffs that was done even though EVERY poll showed the american public did not want it...then to hail the man who wasted almost an entire year of his bully pulpit and power that might have created jobs as some kind of hero just irks me. It seems to me that any President who could do such a thing must be looked at as a person who will sell his soul for his heritage. Listen,I am not naive....I know that deals and such are done almost every day, but not such a large unwanted wide reaching piece of legislation like this and at such a absolutely bad time for such a thing.
It simply boggles my mind how this man has any support whatsoever. He will now, as a result of Nov change his image to the voters...he has no principles at all in my mind...he has been a politician all his life, folks have and continue to swoon at his feet.
Sorry...I do feel very strongly about this. Everything I posted on this board BEFORE HE WAS THE CANDIDATE is coming true and it is very scary to me !
This does not mean I am granting sainthood to the other party either. I simply consider this President to be a most dangerous influence on this country !
And to those who feel they must blame a political figure for the tragedy in Arizona, I say if you watched the strong arm tactics used in Nov of 2008, NOT JUST IN PHILLY BY THE WAY, you can just envision if this man does not get his way and get elected in 2012
Sorry again DJPLONG...I know how I sound on this subject and as I said that is why I have and will keep my distance on here. To me, there is no debate...this President is dangerous and must be controlled !
