No,Mitchell is telling us he's a greedy little ---- that doesn't care a wit about who has to pay for his butt as long as it's not him..And he's good at making excuses and blamming others...

Mitchell of NC must be telling us his income is so low his obamacare is free. He must know obamacare does go in full effect until 2014.

Moments after obama signs bill into law tomorrow, at least 10 States will sue. At least 38 are working on things.

Where do you get the idea healthcare will be free?We will all pay more in one fashion or another,wheather its in higher taxes passed down,jobs lost not to mention freedoms lost.Lines for all will get longer and care harder to find and get.As in everything the goverment does,it always cost more..Why do you bring up socialist,marxist,commie cards?Thats the lefts plan isn't it?

Oh,I forgot you're not going to pay your 20,000-30,000$bill even if you win 100,000$ lottery.Not part of the problem are you?? It's ok with you for everyone elses bill to go up to cover your butt..

I don't want to talk about you personally or your family. Don't want you talking about me and mine.

Seems fair...

From some of the other posts I've seen you've posted, my guess on your age would be somewhere in the 60's Bill.

On a previuos posts you referred to something that happened in the 50's if I remember correctly

I should present COUNTERPOINT ? That’s YOUR JOB. Duhhh.

By the way, how old am I ?

Bill Hedges of MO 4:54PM March 22, 2010

I should but I won't. Now that the bill is passed, the repubs argument seems more and more infantile than policy driven.

Bill, no offense, well on second though you have been hard on me for whatever reason, so hopefully you will take offense and notice of this.

Your gruffiness and antiquated way of presenting your issues are extremely mundane and basically ineffective. YOUR links supporting YOUR stance, to be effective, you should also present the counterpoint link, because for every issue there is a counterpoint.

So, as I said to you on a different blog, please don't be offended when you are waiting in line with those using healthcare, don't grumble and feel hostile because they are using the socialized healthcare your medicare card gives YOU. Don't hatem, congratulatem because now others, that are not over the hill, can enjoy free healthcare just like your socialist, communist and marxist medicare card.

Only in Amereica!! LOL!!

When the uninsured gets sick and uses the ER, then it becomes my problem because their cost is being passed to me thru fed and state (medicaid). My insurance cost gets hit because hospitals pass the costs to those who pays. So it is on my own interest and all taxpayers to make sure that everybody has insurance. Just like flood insurance that are required for homeowners on flood prone areas and shorelines. When disaster strikes these people (mostly rich) wants the government to shoulder their rebuilding cost.

For your info,you have to have liability insurance to drive a car,that insurance covers the other person,not you unless you CHOOSE to buy full coverage.You are not forced to buy coverage for yourself.Driving an auto is a privelage,last time I checked the goverment didn't give me the PRIVELAGE of life!!

You are comparing apples to oranges.

Hunter of WI 10:31PM March 21, 2010

You bring up the old car insurance argument. How old and antiqued.

You don’t have to buy car insurance. You can choice not to drive. IRS will make sure you have health insurance. With what 17,000 new employees to check each month. Your health insurance must meet government standards.

jon what government plan meets your high standsrds. How much in debt is it. Can you say $50-60 trillion social debt ?

Shall we talk about overcost, restrictions, etc of OR, MA, Canada, England, Cuba, etc.. These States and Countries did not save money with social health care. They went deeper in debt and have to find ways to stop loss.
