    We have illegals popping out babies left and right, who pays for it? The citizen taxpayer. They take their kids to the ER with the sniffles because they get the meds and can't be denied care. My sister in law is an ER nurse, she said it happens all the time.

    Like most tea party, repubs, libritarians or whatever you are mad at the wrong people:

    You've been sold out. Your party (or at least the one that most closely resembles it anyway) bitches and moans about illegals taking work that most americans won't do (without healthcare and a fair wage) and sucking off the teet of the system. Here's the news, Conservatives controlled EVERY FUCKING BRANCH of government for a dacade. If Bush wanted to do something he did it, whether it was legal or not. Why then, if that's the case were there no laws made to keep people out or punish employers who hire illegals?

    BECAUSE THEY DON"T WANT TO!!! The companies pay off the politicians to keep cheap labor to inflate their bottom line.

    Why do you think they are allowed to go to the emergency room on our dime?

    Because slaves aren't much good if they get sick.

    And hey, you lean towards the tea party mentality right? Tell me if there were laws made to enforce against illegals (stopping the cheap labor) doesn't that qualify as Government interviening on the Freedoms and liberties of corporations.

    bottom line: We are all puppets, we get to choose which puppeteers pull the strings.

    So who should I be mad at ? NEWS FLASH !!!! The dems have had control of the House and Senate for the last 4 years. There are also laws in place for people who knowingly hire illegals. What the hell do you think ICE does :roll: and illlegals are not the only ones who can be treated at the emergency room and billed later. But they are the ones who for the most part don't pay their bills.That doesn't mean they are slaves either.
    You can call yourself a puppet all you want,but im sure as hell not.

    I'm really surprised that you are not too embarrassed to come back and post in your own thread. But like most teabaggers you haven't a clue how bad you look. I'm embarrassed for you. :oops:

    we could totally pay for universal health care. the pentagon and military budget is $708 billion, BILLION dollars. the navy budget is $115 billion, which is more than the next 13 countries combined, 11 of which are our allies....we can cut the military budget SIGNIFICANTLY and pay for single payer universal health care...

    not to mention they purchase products and services so they pay sales tax....

    also, a lot of them would be eligible for a tax refund but since they are illegally here they don't file and the government keeps the money
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    First of all, I was speaking to someone on the right side of the isle. Democrats being useless is another whole discussion. Even if Republicans didn't block EVERYTHING proposed by Obama, I still doubt they would get anything done. Since Democrats and Republicans are bought by the same corporate masters, neither of which has done anything about immigration. I'd say that reinforces my argument.

    also, a law that is not enforced is a joke. Trust me, if undocumented immigrants tried to uprise and protest they'd be back in Mexico in a blink of an eye. As it stands, they are just too useful.

    I'm embarrassed for all three of you. Actually four of you. And I'm sure everyone on this board knows who the fourth is.

    And I'm not degrading you. You degrade yourselves with lack of knowledge about subjects like Universal Healthcare. And then you have the nerve to start threads about it to support a cause of supression of your own nation of healthcare that most believe should be a right of every man, woman, and child.

    And what is truly laughable is that you people rally against Obama and healthcare, so you are directly responsible for allowing the corporations to completely fuck it's citizens. Because of people like you, any reform coming from this administration now has turned to complete garbage.

    People like Cosmo in this thread have told heartwrenching horror stories about fighting insurance companies at the same time as serious illness. Fights that have bankrupted good people. True patriots believe this should never happen to one single fucking citizen. But it's happening to thousands!!!! It's a fucking disgrace. So pardon me if I'm not perfectly polite in dealing with a rightwingers lack of knowlegde posting about other countries heathcare. :roll:

    And I really am embarrassed for you. It's truly how I feel. You have been completely owned in this thread. You have made comments about things like bankrupting the country because of healthcare, then others come in the thread and point out how much is spent on defense. And you have nothing?! it's embarrassing. Do you know why America needs to spend so much on defense??? Look in the mirror.

    perhaps one of the reasons that the defense budget is so high because we have to pay for universal single payor health insurance for all of our servicemen and women?? its called Tricare...look it up...if you retire from the military you get tricare for life, in addition to medicare...2 universal single payor insurances?? no there is no way that can ever work....its enough to make my head explode with the high cost.... :roll:

    Here's a solution.
    I hear about all this crying about "strapping the debt on our kids"... how about instead of piling the costs of access to Health Care on the top of the trillion dollars we already owe on the war onto the backs of future generation... we spread it out?
    Since these are YOUR wars... how about YOU pay for them? Raise your taxes to pay for the wars you chose to support. These wars were OUR choices, not our kids. How about WE pay for the decision we made? You believe in in that Conservative cornerstone of 'personal responsibility', right? Well, so do I. I think we need to take the personal responsibility of our actions and decisions. The soldiers have to face the physical and emotional pains of our choosing to go to war... how about US civilians feel the financial pains? You support our troops, right? They and their families are the ONLY ones carrying the burdens of the wars while you sit comfortably in you living rooms... a half a world away from the bullets and I.E.D.s.
    That way... maybe you'll shut the fuck up already about the debt YOU are responsible for and are laying on the laps of your kids. At least, our kids will have access to Health Care that they will be paying for.
    How in the hell do you justify blaming me or anyone else supporting the Tea Party responsible for the war? The Tea Party was not even together when the war started...wouldn’t that be called lack of intelligence and information. Now this is how I see it....you guys didn’t do a fucking bit of good with your war protest or any efforts you all made to stop the war....you didn’t get shit done, about it did you? Is that why we don’t see you anymore? Now all you do is bitch and moan about it but doing nothing! Then you want to blame the Tea party because people joined the military and have to go to war....these men that join know that there is a BIG possibilities that they will go to war...they’re not stupid either....
    The Tea Party has a few different agenda’s, the main one I am interested is fighting the corruption in the White House. Now we all have a bone to pick with the lawmakers but since we are all individuals we are choosing what is closes to our hearts to fight or fight for . . . Hey we may not get shit done either but why act as if we are doing something bad by all the hostile comments . . . and acting as though the Tea Party wants this war...I mean people could now say to you guys “where are you now!” Did you give up?....but that makes about a much sense as
    ” Where were you when Bush was in office”? I just don’t understand all the hostility on the MT.....
    If there was a movement against the War and the corruption would we get along?

    :clap::clap::clap: Bravo You have Your style and the TB's might like it but you speak the truth and that's the way it is. The military complex and the warmongering state of mind that drives this country over the NEED to provide basic health care for it's citizens. I'll ask the question again has there been a foreign country that has gone bankrupt from providing it's citizens universal health care?

    BTW I once had health insurance, had knee surgery and my provider found a way to not pay for that operation due to what they called pre existing condition. A partially torn cartilage however that's the reason I was having the operation. The horror stories will continue, sadly. :cry:

    yep, if that was an old injury and your insurance switched they will not pay for the surgery, its a pre-existing condition. was it an injury or was it a degenerative change that caused the tear? all these tea baggers say that government will get between you and your doctor in making decisions, but the whole point of medicine is to start conservative and try non-surgical interventions and exhaust them before resorting to surgery. what your situation tells me is that insurance would have you believe that surgery should be done at the time of injury, which is the insurance company dictationg your care and getting between you and your doctor. for orthopedic issues like a torn meniscus there are several non-surgical interventions that are cheeper that should be tried first. any physician will tell you that.. if you are rushed in for knee surgery you run the risk of things like early onset arthritis down the road..which would give you another "pre-existing condition" but that is a topic for another thread....

    I have been thru the same thing....I just don’t see how the insurance death panels (as someone on here referred to them ) are going to be any different than the panels that will be formed with this healthcare they want to pass now.......I agree we should all have health care and no war....but that will only happen in a perfect world..
