Can someone please tell me why the Libs are always screaming about "fairness" for everything, but then turn around and expect unfair taxes on the rich?

The problem without having affordable access to everyone is that it will cost the tax payers more in the long run for such programs as medicaid and medicare.

And yet, shouldn't we be looking at the actual companies, the hospitals, the pharmacutical companies (gasp!), instead of universal healthcare?

I believe we need to look more at the CAUSE of the actual problem - the problem isn't the cost of healthcare, the problem is the REASONS for the rising cost of healthcare, no?

This statement seems conflicting.

I do agree with you, I don't think we yet HAVE the solution to more cost effective healthcare - but I will tell you one of my main concerns is the larger pharmacutical companies raising the cost of medicine for their benefit alone - or what insurance companies will/will not cover, purely out of their own interest in profit gain. I have a difficult time trusting them, and to be honest I have an even more difficult time trusting politicians who make promises they can't keep.

We may not agree on candidates but I like this statement and we agree on this point!

And that's what else we need! People who don't give a rat's a$$ about who belongs to what party (not talking pres. candidates only, but other government officials as well) - but about all officials (R and D) working together to make this country a better place for EVERYONE.

Call me crazy but I have a real problem with people not seeing an issue with wealth distribution in America.


Just because somebody makes more money than me doesn't mean that I am entitled to some of it.

No, it's called a progressive tax system and it has nothing to do with socialism, not even close.
