After the recent shortages in Cuba and Venezuela, Obama has

Our new Strategic Toilet Paper Reserve will be located in

The point of this post is that whenever the govt tries to run
the
economy, it fails. Cuba, a country that produces vast amounts
of
sugar actually has sugar shortages. They could process all
their
sugar cane waste into pulp to make toilet paper but of course
there is
no incentive so they now have shortages. Iran, nearly
drowning in
oil
actually has gasoline shortages because the govt runs the
industry
there. The same is true of Venezuela, shortages of fuel. The
Soviets
were great at building BFR (Big Fokkin Rockets) but were
unable to
make any necesary consumer products. Government running of
large
portions of an economy has been tried many many times and has
always
been a miserable failure so we really do not need to do the
experiment
again.
Yeah. Medicare is a big failure. Right. D'oh.
Medicare is a good demonstration of how expensive government
medical
care is tho. They spend 3% of every wage earned in this
country,
covering about 15-16 % of the population and they are going
broke
doing it. The people covered still need supplemental private
insurance.
All you are doing here is pointing out areas where Medicare can
be
improved.
Yes, Medicare is a failure with a 30% fraud rate.
And you think, that when the government nationalizes the health
care
industry, the fraud rate will go down? With government health care
there will be NO oversight to prevent fraud. If you want to see
fraud
look at some of the current government programs.
With government insurance, the government will take 40% or more of
your
income to pay for it, remove your input into your medical
treatment, and
return less insurance coverage than you get now. That is if you
are
considered a productive individual, otherwise you get nothing.
While I agree that that PROBABLY will happen, no one knows.
Especially
those who haven't read the bill.
Which includes any Democrat that works on the hill, right?

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary
thinking.
Under Obamacare, If you have a problem getting care and you complain,
you will get put on the WhiteHouse enemies list. Now, if you complain
to the govt you have some chance of getting results.
The funny thing is that you and your braindead buddy Herring probably
believe that.

Herring, of course, is funny on his own...all that hatred for
government
programs when he spent most of his working life sucking on the
government teat and depends upon that teat now for his retirement. If
memory serves, his wife also held a government job and took advantage
of
government-subsidized health insurance programs.






Will the *lawmakers* be covered by the proposed plan?
Why would they be? They have health insurance,


No, they do not have health insurance. They have a carte blanc checkbook
for their healthcare. They can get in their New Gulfstream Jet (NGJ) and
get whatever medical care they desire. Face lift? Botox? All paid for
by us that will have medical insurance under the new government plan.


More right-wing bull****. Members of congress and other federal employees
participate in the federal employees health benefit act plans, in which
dozens if not hundreds of health insurers offer health insurance plans.


You can read more about FEHBA he

Perhaps you should get your information from other than retards like
loogy, justafreak, lu foul, herring, flajim, et cetera. Unless you prefer
to come across as uninformed and stupid.



And where does it state Congress is like the rest of the Government
employees? President Obama. Does he have a deduction out of his paycheck
for insurance? Ms. Pelosi? Mrs. Blum?


Never mind, Bill. You can always tell when the idiot is in over his
head, he starts childish insults and third grade name calling instantly.
