Went to a republican health care forum today

I took one for the team.

1. OMG!!!

Do they ACTUALLY have any relevant points?

I'm serious.

I guess the only argument that I hear from
them that makes any sense is "Who's going to
PAY for it?"

The rest is just easily tamped down palaver.

3. let us say that if you chery pick your data you can make

a case for anything.
And when someone disagrees with you, you raise your voice very loud and start talking over them.

Relevant points? All data was geared to making any current worldwide government plan look weak and bankrupt while capitalism is the savior many nations are looking to.

5. Are they deaf, dumb and blind?

The "invisible hand" is wearing a boxing glove!

[rurallib]

8. self insulated from reality

They claimed to want universal HC. Their chosen vehicle is medical savings accounts!

[trof]

2. Did they hand out Band Aids and asprin?

:rofl:

[rurallib]

4. No. There was some gawking like we were in a zoo.

It was an open forum, yet ......
There were some nasty comments that we weren't supposed to hear.

Take a hot bath and have a stiff drink.

You need both.

7. Thank you. And next week we have a booth next to theirs at the county fair.

But I can really ignore them.

9. Oh, you poor honey -

11. There's only one response that

makes any sense to their idea of health care. The majority of them consider themselves Christian, especially the extreme right.

If this nation was truly founded on Christian principles, all of it's citizens would have access to health care, not health coverage since the greater emphasis of Christ's teachings was the focus on caring for the poor and the lesser advantaged in society. If people truly believe that our nation was founded on these principles, we would not be having this argument over single payer health care.

While I don't believe this nation was founded on Christian principles, I think everyone should send this in to the Letters to the Editor section of their newspapers.

:hi:

12. "Don't get sick"

Didn't you get the talking points?
