lobbyists are paid by people who are pushing for political favors, whether they're farmers, pharmaceutical companies, or trial lawyers or unions... They all have lobbyists.


Of course politicians spend our tax dollars on themselves... why do you think they wanted to be elected in the first place?

If ANY of our elected officals needed a transplant,heart,etc, WE would be paying for it with our taxes. So their life is worth more than other people's?

Do I consider their lives "worth more"? No - congresscritters are among the lowest life forms.

Doesn't federal law give the right to emergency care, regardless of the ability to pay? Do you wish to repeal that?

If you do, what would you suggest that we do with the to the poor with acute illness?

Federal law requires hospitals not to turn away anyone needing acute care, regardless of ability to pay.

"Most of us already pay exorbitant health care cost due to excessive administration costs, inflated prices and inefficiencies."

Woah, woah, woah... you think that by having GOVERNMENT health care, this is going to get any better?!?!

Bwaahhaaaa, oh man, I needed that!

Oh wait...were you serious?
