I totally disagree. Funny, we actually HAVE universal healthcare in this country. It's been in place for several years now. The only universal healthcare in this country is found in Massachusetts and was the work of Mitt Romney, a conservative republican, working hand in hand with Ted Kennedy and the democrats in the state legislature, as well as the doctors, insurance companies, republicans, experts, etc.
The Gaggle : Romney on Obama's Push For Health Reform: Slow Down
This is the single most experienced person in the country when it comes to designing, passing, and implementing sweeping universal healthcare reform, yet he has been ignored by the administration. Weird. He wants to be involved, he wants to work with both sides of the aisle to pass the RIGHT bill, but the left doesn't want to play.
Your arguments that we need to pass something without understanding what it is, what it will cost, what effect it will have on our families, on our children and grandchildren, our economy as a whole, given the fact that our president's central goal is to reduce that cost burden while every analysis of it shows that it will instead increase that burden, is completely absurd.
First off, don't put words in my mouth. My argument is not to pass something without understanding it, that is your spin.
My point, which you will continue to ignore, is that the Republicans have openly stated that if they can deny Obama heath care reform they can break him, that it will be his "Waterloo", etc.
So you can stop with this total BS that the Republicans are trying to be constructive or fiscally prudent, or that they give a S*^T about yours or my grandchildren. The Republicans don't care about you, Cuba, unless you are wealthy or a major corporation that gives millions to the RNC.
That is the sad reality, but you can continue to defend the Republicans if you want.
PS: Mitt Romney was against this health care reform, but had a veto proof majority against him. Now, that it has been successful though, he was all for it and it was his idea, just like all those other lies he told when running for the Republican nomination that ruined his candidacy.
