And the socialists are wondering why people are packing guns to these town hall meetings? Let’s see how ‘hungry’ some of these fellow travelers get when they see Bersa Thunder 9 milimeters in somebody’s shoulder holster.

I would love to be able to keep my employer health insurance that I pay for when I turn 65 (in 9 years); however, you are REQUIRED to enroll in Medicare at that time. There are no exceptions. So the gentleman having Medicare isn’t surprising. You have no choice.

I would agree with that except for the fact that people are forced to pay into Medicare regardless. If that money has been stolen from them, they have every right to demand the promised services for which they were fleeced all their working lives.

I’m sympathetic to that, but if we ever want to become a country free of socialism again, we need to ween these programs out of existence. And I’m just not sure how many of these older folks who oppose ObamaCare would be on board with that.

The Public school system is also socialist and unConstitutional, but how many conservatives today are concerned with getting rid of that government monstrosity? Not many at all; I could probably count them all on my fingers and toes.

The vast majority of people in this country, both on the left and right, have accepted the premise of American socialism. The disagreements, then, are over how far that socialism should go, not over socialism itself.

These tea parties and health care protests are a step in the right direction, but this country still has a LONG ways to go.

Why does the fact that people would choose Medicare over nothing imply somehow Medicare is the best?

I’d choose eating garbage over starving, so what does that mean?

They have little to no problem with socialism per say, they just personally don’t like this particularly form of socialism because there’s no advantage in it for them.

The victim was 65 years old. Under the current system, he's covered by Medicare. Already short a finger, should he cut off his nose to spite his face? For Shuster, the fact that Medicare was involved is some kind of proof that government programs are the way to go. Where's the logic? The question is what is best for the country going forward.

Obviously I have no use for Shuster, but he does call to my mind a good point. It's very hypocritical for people taking advantage of Medicare/Medicaid and social security while protesting ObamaCare because it's "socialist." I have a feeling these people aren't as much concerned with the "socialist" part as they are the "death panel" part. They have little to no problem with socialism per say, they just personally don't like this particularly form of socialism because there's no advantage in it for them.

As the commenter on Politico mentioned, I think releasing his payment information was a HIPAA violation. Even if the guy was 65 he could still have had private insurance and/or Medicare. Whoever that spokesperson was should be seeking the advice of the hospital attorneys.

[...] How desperate is Moveon.ORG and the left wing nutjobs getting now that reports about Obama wavering on the public option? They are biting off people’s fingers! From Yahoo: California authorities say a clash between opponents and supporters of health care reform ended with one man biting off another man’s finger. Ventura County Sheriff’s Capt. Frank O’Hanlon says about 100 people demonstrating in favor of health care reforms rallied Wednesday night on a street corner. One protester walked across the street to confront about 25 counter-demonstrators. O’Hanlon says the man got into an argument and fist fight, during which he bit off the left pinky of a 65-year-old man who opposed health care reform. No TweetBacks yet.
