A majority of the population believes that Universal Health Insurance will be provided by the government, at the governments expense.

There is no such thing as the 'governments' expense. The government is nothing more than a collecting agent for the taxpayers funds. This means that people who earn a living pay taxes on their income are technically the 'government'!

In effect, the those earning income will be subsidizing those who are unemployed, who choose not to work and who cannot work as a result of poor health, etc. Oh! And don't forget their dependents. We'll dole out for their dependents too.

Now I am being told that my current health insurance provider is actually a pretty good deal. A good deal that is,...

Why Aren't Americans Obeying Obama?

I just might obey someone if I respected them. But I have no respect for the Marxist dictator who is leading his followers away from common sense and decency. There is absolutely no doubt that Obama, regardless of his place of birth, is not an "American". He is, in fact, someone who hates this country, hates the Constitution and wishes to bring the republic to its knees.

I despise this lying egomaniac and hope to see him brought down and returned to Kenya as soon as possible.

Black folks will never see Obama for what he is because they believe him to be African American (he has Arab blood, not African)and they are bedazzeled by the his pigment. And white folks, are just plain cowards! Everyone, including myself, is pouring our hearts out in comments made in online articles and it...

My life and my death are neither the business of the government nor the reader. You didn't live my life and you weren't around when I needed help either economically or emotionally.

If I am dying from pancreatic cancer and the pain is unbearable and I do not want to further burden my family because the end is inevitable, you have absolutely no right to tell me what I can and cannot do. If it is my decision to end my life with dignity and with the opportunity to say a goodbye to all of those whom I love and who love me and who were by me during my lifetime then it is my decision alone!

I don't know how anyone could sleep at night if they force a terminally ill patient to endure pain because they do not approve of...
