Part of being a liberal is "magical thinking" and an allergy to hard facts.

Unfortunately, because we've allowed them to infiltrate and dominate our public education from kindergarten through the Ivy Leagues, they have been churning out students now voters (even those with conservative parents unless those parents take strong corrective action) who also lack the desire to search out facts and even if presented with them, are incapable of linking them together to reach a logical conclusion.

So yes, to boil down this article, how can anyone believe that the same government that has messed up much smaller and easier files suddenly will be able to deliver better health care to over 300 million? Magical thinking.

The largely Dem legislators have taken care to remove their own health care from their Rube Goldberg contraption so that above all tells you the confidence they have in their plan for everyone else. Would you cross a bridge that the engineers refuse to get on?

Thanks to lib "education"/indoctrination, too many sheep people baah passively and drag the non-sheep along with them to the shearing shed or abbatoir, depending on their age.

The Dept of Health & Human Services under Kathleen Sebelius would have the power to set criteria for who gets life-saving medical care and who just gets the pain pills and/or assisted suicide.

This faux-Catholic/faux-woman was best friends with the late partial-birth abortionist George Tiller (Tiller-Tiller-the- Baby-Killer), the man who made a career out of inducing labor then puncturing the skulls of late-term pre-born children whose mothers decided not to give birth, sucking out their brains then pulling out their bodies to discard like so much trash. Sibelius, whose agency will be setting life and death standards of medical care for all of us if this heath care takeover Obamanation passes, apparently had no problems with her late buddy's career choice. One wonders, therefore, if she has any respect for the sanctity of ANYBODY's human life, and since she and her like-minded underlings will have life and death power over all of us, this is a scary thought.

Of course those forcing this c**p sandwich down the rest of our throats the rest of us will be exempt from having to endure it themselves.

I can see your point. It would be such a tragedy if everybody had access to health care, because it might be bad for you. After all did not Jesus say you should help yourself at the expense of the poor?

Ok, that was probably someone else who said that. But it is funny seeing the argument that the problem with health care reform is that other people will have access to health care. And that certainly is the content of this particular whine.

The transition in the bill is a slow one. Given how many people are currently losing their insurance thinking that the status quo will protect ones access to doctors seems like wishful thinking.

But given that the problem we currently face is a lack of jobs and a worry that they are not likely to be created in the future. The idea that we should be worried that desirable jobs will not be filled in the future seems like a weird one to peg our objections to this legislation.

We are currently losing general practitioners to more lucrative positions like cosmetic surgery. Increasing the demand for general practitioners is not likely to increase this problem.

Lon, the insurance bureaucrats you say are making decisions now are, in fact, physicians. Another writer is correct in believing that we will see massive retirements in the medical community if the current plan in Congress is enacted. There is already a shortage of primary care physicians and general surgeons. The current legislation does next to nothing to increase the supply. With a decreasing supply brought on by retirements -- or those who leave the field in disgust to do something else -- and 30 million more patients trying to get access, everyone will have longer wait times or less access to primary care. If you think having the uninsured clog up community hospital emergency departments is a problem now, wait until they are joined by lots of insured people who can no long see their primary care physician. And when $155 billion is cut from hospital Medicare payments, some those community hospital ERs will just a memory.

You need to get lost. I am just so tired of liberals . You think you are just so intelligent. Abortion and sterilization should have been mandatory for your parents. And if you aren't already they need to finish the job. Quite trying to act intelligent. It doesn't work.

I expect many early retirements if the government takes over health care. It's already happening to a certain extent. Why do you think so many people are seeing nurse practitioners for their primary care now? In most of the countries where socialized medicine is the norm the "physician" or person with the medical degree is worlds inferior to what you get here. And has the mentality of a bureaucrat. Insurance companies try to save money, but the government can actually dictate how it is spent. When you have a complaint about your insurance company you can appeal to your state insurance commissioner. When the government itself is the problem who you gonna call? Our system might have a lot of failures, but the one place where it outscores everyone else hands down is responsiveness. Is the government going to make this any better?

Obama care spoken from the mouths of liars is just that LIES!

If this was what the People Want, then why hasn't the people of this land been asked to participate and most of all Watch What is happening.

Why you ask? Because we wouldn't want it and don't have any desire for it. So they LIE!

Obama, Reed and Pelosi - The Lie, The Liar and the Lying!

Obama said everyone will be able to have the very same coverage that Congress has.

Not only has Congress failed to put this into law, Congress has exempted itself from their own Healthcare Reform.

However, Obamacare will tax people with diabetes, Sleep Apnea, wheel chairs, colon bypasses, Oxigen tanks, and a host of other medical appliances.

Then at the end of 10 years, will leave 25 million americans without healthcare.

The world according to Liberals. Just keep hurting people.

I expect my doctor to make medical diagnoses that being his job under both the current system and the post health care reform system.

As one of the quotes above notes, government officials will be making some decisions currently made by insurance bureaucrats, but they are not doctors either.

And where does this incoherent idea of Congress not being affected by the health care reform come from? Like all people who currently have health insurance, they won't be eligible for the exchanges, but that is true of most Americans. To the degree that the health care system changes as a result of health care reform, Congressmen will be accepted.

(And on a minor note, the claim that the underwear bomber flew to the US on a one-way ticket turns out to be bogus).

This is something that came to mind a week after Christmas. I'm glad to see this important and timely article.

Now, are the Congressional supporters of President Sham-Wow listening?
