If they were educated on it and how it is not worth it (especially since the baby boomers are getting older and sicker), I believe they wouldn’t want anything to do with it.

There’s a reason I keep calling it the Logan’s Run Health Plan; I’m hoping that the boomers who are old enough to remember what it means, actually own up to what it implies.

“Lastday! Renew, renew!”

I’d rather see Hannan as the UK’s PM. I think they’re starting the process of divorcing from socialism, and he can hopefully continue that process moving in the right direction.

Only after their all their former colonies have taken the UK and its industries over; sending UK jobs to far-off Third World lands.

He isn’t as sensible as he seems. He’s in the “give Obama a chance” camp, so no. Stay in the UK. I’ve got Thaddeus McCotter, and he’s good enough for me, thanks.

He’s been highly critical of Obama now. He also had no intention of endorsing McCain because McCain is a proponent of the EU and the UK joining the EU, which really ticks off a lot of Brits.

I like Thaddeus, but why did he vote against Paul Ryans budget plan?

At least in the Red Army you get an AK.

And a little bit of ammo.

The Democrats can just trot out the long line of excuses that work so well for our atrocious public schools, to explain why our health care system sucks.

- We’re underfunded and need a lower provider to patient ratio. It’s the Republican’s fault for opposing “investments”.
- Our patients are fat, drink/eat/smoke too much, don’t exercise and eat crappy foods. It’s not our fault our customers suck. There’s nothing we can realistically do other than warehouse our patients and babysit them.

The American people have bought 50 years of Democrat excuses on public schools, why won’t they buy the same lame excuses for health care?

Yeah. Hope and change.

I think people don’t realize what nationalized health care is. If they were educated on it and how it is not worth it (especially since the baby boomers are getting older and sicker), I believe they wouldn’t want anything to do with it.

Now, tell me again how an American NHS would be so much better for womens’ health care?

It’ll be cheaper, and less expensive, and easier on the budget, and won’t cost as much. In fact, for the average citizen (FLASH: all 4 average US citizens have been found; recently moved into Big White House), it’ll be free.

That’s how.

A lot of the propaganda for natural childbirth you hear coming from Britain is paid for by the NHS who is trying to discourage the use of epidurals during labor.

Now, tell me again how an American NHS would be so much better for womens’ health care?
