sorry you misread me, i was saying more along the lines that the current healthcare and insurance setup is crap and only real way to obtain a great plan is to hookup with some megacorp where they dont mind dropping millions a year on their employees plans because thats 1/100th of their spending.
i dont think that me ditching my current job i enjoy to go sit in a desk at anadarko is the way to get what i want. was merely expressing the current situation could be vastly improved for all.

Think outside your liberal box for a minute, question your govt.
Tanning bed customers are now taxed 10% as part of this reform.
ANYTHING the govt. sees as a danger to it's people will be taxed in order to cover their potential extra costs in healthcare. As the healthcare funds become more depleted the taxation will become more widespread.
ATV's will be taxed into obsolescence, guns will follow, unhealthy foods will be taxed. Want to have a swimming pool installed in your back yard? pay another tax.
Have you ever traveled to Canada, tobacco products are outrageous, as is alcohol.... I'm a non smoker and light drinker, but it's not my place to judge.

Want to drive a "high performance vehicle" pay your LS1 tax

Gulf, you know me so well! I'm impressed that you can infer so much from two replies. If your referring to my belief in maximum individual freedoms, freedom of action, or freedom from prejudice or bigotry, well then guilty I guess. However, I also believe in traditional family values, a strong national defense, and a committment to faith; crap I'm so confused as that would point to conservatism. Maybe I'm just a realist who chooses to beleive in facts, not scare tactics. Tell me the truth, but don't fill me with the ramblings of extremist who parade inferences and opinions as the truth. There are some facts in this thread, but also a lot of crap. Remember the Brady Bill when some said that we'd all lose our right to own weapons(come on, do you really need an AR-15 to hunt anyway; its a defensive weapon for a two way fight?!). Well, how'd that pan out? I'm just saying to do a little research of your own rather than believe what you read once or hear on the radio or talk shows. Have an original thought and don't just regurgitate the ramblings of others. God Bless; aww damm there's the conservative in me!

Id leave it alone man. I don't think he even understands everything he said in that post he used himself as an example. That, or he feels stupid for saying it and is doing a terrible job playing it off. either way, its a brick wall man.

I respect your opinion as it sounds that you and I see a lot in the same light. My point being that just letting something like this go is part of the problem. We gave up rights with this thing in the name of "whats best for the people". I believe in standing for freedom and this is not any type of freedom.

By the way, is that a warbird hood? Looks great. If it is where did you get it?

seriously you guys do not want this!
I live in one of those countries that pride themselves in social care, and the quality of doctors are ****. Hospitals are literally falling apart and ALOT of malpractice. Im not saying this will happen in the US, but if i get sick or whatver here, im going with a private clinic.

Except now there are so many on extended unemployment and now low cost health care that it will motivate them to vote- they don't want to give that up.

I am really hoping that calling this a tax will get into people's heads and get them out to vote.

Country can't survive very well when less than half the population is paying taxes. The smart ones with all the $$ will leave.

Its just another way for the feds to get into my pocket. It will give greedy co's a way to get rid of employee health care. Their tax will be cheaper then paying the insurance cost.

We all will be paying more for crack heads, illegals, welfare baby factories, and octal mothers to have care.

The present system is broke and the feds know it. This will allow care rationing to the baby boomers so problem solved. You've worked your whole life now your sick sorry just go away and die TY for all the taxes you paid. Oh and don't forget to vote for me..before you check out. Have a nice day..

It's like that in Europe already. Oh and guess what. They don't have guns to fight back.


The NWO wants a world wide slave population to cater to the elites. If your young or old or disabled they have no use for you.

H'mmm sounds alot like **** Germany or modern day China..

Thats why people come from all over the world here to Houston to go to the Med center. Because it sucks??? Really get a clue... Where do you want to go Russia, China, Canada, Mexico.. OK

Alamo, how does hoping for the best and planning for the worst make one an "extremist"?
You act as if martial law is fiction and only in movies...you act as if governments don't often become corrupt with power and control. Yes, all of that is really far fetched....it'll never happen.

Keep sticking your head in the dirt....the rest of us will take care of the dirty work for you
