YEAH!
And Joe wants to use the streets I pay taxes to maintain, pineapple Joe! I shouldn't have to pay for a street he's going to be sleeping on and I'll never walk on. No one should pay any taxes and let it all fall to ruin!!!!
I'm sorry if I'm setting up a strawman argument. But like Eos said, they are plenty of other social services already that work remarkably well to contributing to a better country.
And@ locked. I'm disappointed the Public option was dropped since that would of given direct competition to insurance companies.
But as for the 32 million new customers these insurance guys are getting, there are reasons why they were lobbying against the bill; these are people who would of generally netted a loss for them due to conditions they most certainly would need treatment for. As I understand though the government would be subsidizing part of the cost, yet they say your deficit will lower; so they must be doing something right?
