#2 Who is pushing for real health insurance - with a $1000 deductible (O.K.. $500 if you're "poor").

Are we worried about 'catastrophic illnesses destroying families' or about getting the government (meaning me) to buy everything down to vitamins for poor folks and illegal aliens?

#3 Bobby,

Real Health insurance would have a deductible of $3,000 for a family of four ($750 per person). It would also allow higher premiums for life style choices, smoking, weight, and homosexuality for example, just like car insurance costs more for a 19 year old male driving a Corvette.

You can get something close with an HSA.

#4 Here's the problem: SCIP is supposed to help poor uninsured kids, but the Dems have designed something that give free health care (paid by me) to wealthy insured adults. Oh here's another problem -- what about anchor babies?

#5 "The Poor", "The Children". It used to be in the name of "God", "The People", "The State". The goal was and remains POWER over other people. The terms change, those seeking power, never do. To include the disaster they all seem to visit upon everyone else.

#7 An interesting story about the poster boy for SCHIP that the Dem's put up against Bush in their weekly radio address...turns out his family's not so poor after all.

#8 See also WND.com > THE COMMIES ARE COMING! Essentially little or no difference btwn Dems and Commie Party, ergo a vote for the Dems is indir a vote for Communism. * Lets not forget that DIALECTICISM > can also be ascribed or premised manipulation of any and all sides including that in direct and indirect opposition. HENCE, FASCISM > LIMITED COMMUNISM = WELL-MEANING BUT DEFECTIVE/ERRORPRONE COMMUNISM; COMMUNISM = DITTO LIMITED CAPITALISM; NATIONALISM = LIMITED GLOBALISM, ........
...................@etc. WOT > War agz Fascism = ergo WAR FOR COMMUNISM.Maionstream. Amers must look very closely at the -Isms and Personages behind the various political platforms/agendas.
