    "Don't you just hate it when people learn the truth?" The truth? You mean that the CBO has already raised the cost of the bill, or that various gov agencies have found that it will actually raise hc costs?

    "No, its showing your argument is idiotic." . . . . . . Simple logic RG. A syllogism. Being tough on BP is unAmerican. 70% of Amercians want Obama to get tough on BP. 70% of Americans are therefore unAmerican. You still stuck on "fickle"?

    Oh, so you're still fixated on a comment by a fairly obscure senatorial candidate? Even more sad than I thought. Didn't know Rand Paul's opinion would affect you so much. I thought opinions were part of the social contract?

    "Oh, so you're still fixated on a comment by a fairly obscure senatorial candidate?" . . . . Fairly obscure? That's your opinion of such a bright young star in the libertarian movement?

    "Won't be for another 4 years." Wrong. This type of coverage begins much sooner and many companies have voluntarily started immediately. "Secondly, they can still get health care from ERs, cahrity, or their own money." And who do you think pays for it when they go to ERs? Also, they get care for broken bones etc. at the ER but longterm chemotherapy??? Try that at an ER or even paying for it with your own funds. Charity, one or two cases of longterm care will wipe most small charities out. Your naive view of the world is telling and in not so life and death situation is is kind of sweet how you think everyone should depend on the kindness of strangers. Unfortunately thats not the way the world is RG. Pathetically dumb again, RG

    MSL, to further demonstrate how stupid and shallow your argments are, here's a poll where 50% of Americans approve of torture. By your logic, torture is therefore American. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/white-house/polling-the-torture-debate.html

    Seriosuly MSL, is this the best you have today? . . . . . . I take that as an affirmative? Paul is an obscure nobody? His views are as meaningless as your own ramblings on this obscure blog?

    "This type of coverage begins much sooner" No it doesn't, stop lying. Subsidies don't kick in for 4 years. The brave Dems made sure taxes kicked in immediately but coverage didn;t so they could get the 10 year score they wanted from the CBO. "Your naive view of the world is telling and in not so life and death situation is is kind of sweet how you think everyone should depend on the kindness of strangers." Charity existed before helath insurance, nitwit. Humans are still here. And your philosophy rests on the principle that its ok to steal from people and give to others, which is truly pathetic you free riding parasite.

    "MSL, to further demonstrate how stupid and shallow your argments are....." . . . . . LOL, you mean Paul's argument, don't you?

    "His views are as meaningless" Paul expressed an opinion about Obama's actions. An opinion that has no effect on policy. Weeks later you are still fixated on it, which is pretty pathetic,e ven more so for a lawyer.

    "LOL, you mean Paul's argument, don't you?" Paul called the presidents comments unAmerican. The president shapes policy, the American people don't. The fact that you can't see the difference between the two is sad.

    "No it doesn't, stop lying." Yes it does " •The President's proposal will provide $5 billion in immediate federal support for a new program to provide affordable coverage to uninsured Americans with pre-existing conditions. This provision is effective 90 days after enactment, and coverage under this program will continue until new Exchanges are operational in 2014. 2.) •The President's proposal eliminates pre-existing condition exclusions for all Americans beginning in 2014, when the Exchanges are operational. Recognizing the special vulnerability of children, the plan prohibits health insurers from excluding coverage of pre-existing conditions for children, effective six months after enactment and applying to all new plans" PLEASE STOP LYING ABOUT HEALTHCARE RG!

    "Charity existed before helath insurance, nitwit." Yes, you are right nitwit, but so did average life expectancy of 35 years nitwit. So did people dying in America of malaria and crippled by polio, moron.

    The Exchanges aren't available until 2014. People are still uninsured, are they not?
