Hey! My vote is for sale too!!!

Since health care is now an officially blessed right by the state, I demand my slice of the pie. I've been told that I HAVE to have a 57" plasma screen TV with at least 85 speakers to ensure my continued good health.



The first political party to deliver gets my vote.



Gimme gimme gimme!!!!!

To hear a ''conservative '' repub. tell how much money it would ''save '' seniors got me . This guy acted like it all came from him. It comes from TAXPAYERS,Dude ! This is the same kind of crap that gives people extended unemployment benefits even when jobless rates are relatively low. Anybody ever notice that extended benefits always happen close to election time?

Dirty little secret is that when your private insurance carrier pays the bill. they must make up the difference on the losses not reimbursed by Medicare, the truly needy, and just plain deadbeats. hospitals survive on 53% of what are billed charges. When you pay your bill, anything over that amount is what you are being screwed out of.

If anyone ever forms up a group hospital that does NOT accept Medicare, they will also be free to NOT accept anyone else who cannot or will not pay. I will be the first one standing in line to enroll.

Flame suit on. I know i'm grumpy , but I have a kid to get to college in 18 months.

hate to burst anyone's bubble, but you don't HAVE to put your kid through college. You're choosing too, which is nice, but that's a burden YOU chose to have. I worked my tail off and put MYSELF through college with no one's help. I'm going back right now to do more, for ME, and again with no one's help.



There are programs out there for kids, there are loans available, heck the govn't will practically pay for all of it with military service. I get tired of parent's whining about how expensive college is, my parents are dirt poor and probably wouldn't have offered it if they had the money and I don't blame them. It's my future and I see it as an investment. I now have way more than they do and make more then they do... . the way the ball bounces I guess. The beauty of capitalism.



I bit off topic i guess since it doesn't relate to health care, but people whining about college ticks me off, it takes away from kids that actually earn it instead of having to it handed to them.
