In the years that I have known him, he never once admitted to error. NOT EVEN ONCE. That speaks volumes.
Yes, it does.

For which I've paid for during many years.You are getting your health care provided by the government by utilizing VA health care services. And they certainly provide more services than someone who has NO government run health care is entitled to.
For which I've paid for during many years.So, you will be set up when you are eligilbe for Medicare. Medicare for the services the VA will not cover, and the VA for the services they will.
I never said that.In the meantime, it is perfectly acceptable that children go without basic medical care in this country
I never said anything supporting their profits, did I? Where do you get this stuff from?people are denied payment by carriers they have been paying premiums to for the same 45 years you have been paying into your government run program, and receiving your government sponsored VA health care services, and public insurance carriers are pulling down billions in profit every year.

BTW, no, it's either Medicare or VA that I'll be eligible for, not both.

SWK posted about the Armani suits. I was complementing The Write Alex on his sarcasm. But I understand....all us liberals look alike. Hard to keep us straight.
I wasn't wrong then, and I am not wrong now. Nor is everyone in this country that has the ability to distinguish between socialism, Marxism, communisim, and democracy. It is only the fringe loonies that have the lack of intelligence to do so. You keep claiming socialism, but have yet to explain exactly the points in Obama's Presidency that could even come close to being classified as socialism and why. If you are going to through words around, you should at least be able to apply them and explain how they apply to the situation you are using them for. You have yet to do so, even though numerous others have given you plenty of points regarding why Obama's policies cannot be classified as socialist. That is why your rantings and your accusations carry no weight. You quite obviously don't have any idea of what you are discussing and instead, are just throwing around words that you have heard others use (who don't know what they are discussing,either), in the hopes that they will sound so horrible as to instill fear in an entire country.
It didn't work during the last election, and it won't work during this one. If you want credibility, at least learn what the hell you are talking about.
Did you mean "throw" words around? First of all, let's make sure that those claiming Obama is not a socialist understand what socialism is themselves. It might also be important to note that those claiming he is not a socialist, are 9 times out of 10, Obama supporters that want to redistribute wealth. They also feel that since they earned a degree in underwater basket weaving that they are owed a job. They also feel that people should be forced to purchase a product or face penalties. That is just scratching at the surface.
Of course this would not make sense to a rabid liberal socialist such as yourself.

We are living in very troubling times. I agree with some of what has been said. The private healthcare system is better than government run systems in most other countries but the problem that I see with government run healthcare here is that our government has failed to run itself efficiently. I'm half afraid they would screw that up too. The private sector has been quite greedy but frivolus lawsuits haven't helped. I don't have a problem with big business as long as they are operating above board. But when there are government bailouts and insider trading that is wrong. Our system is still better than anywhere else in the world as far as I concerned but there does truly need to be some changes. For starters we need to either reform or get rid of the democrat and republican parties. Most politicians that have been around for a long time probably need to go home. We must unite on some front or it will never happen. I like they idea of OWS joining the Tea Party in some ways. We need strong patriotism again. Prayer wouldn't hurt either.
Yes, my husband fought in Korea. He was several years older than me. You have a problem with that?
How, exactly, is the private healthcare system better than government run systems in other countries? And you do realize don't you, that Obama's health care reform is not about mandated care, but mandated insurance coverage for healthcare. Big difference that people tend to ignore.
OWS joining the Tea Party? Where did you get that idea? OWS is already larger than the Tea Party ever was. It would be to the Tea Partiers benefit to join with OWS, but it would be detrimental to OWS's cause to align with the Tea Partiers. Such an alliance doesn't even make sense.
Patriotism? Isn't this country made up of individuals? One can't be "patriotic" to the country without caring about the individuals that make up that country. Get rid of the narcissism, and you will see patriotism come back. Those that are claiming patriotism in this day and time are fooling themselves.
Pray on your own time if you think it will help. We have a separation between church and state for very valid reasons. It needs to remain that way.
I have a question: I have noticed that Steiiny comes in and makes one post, then logs out. A few minutes later, you log on to respond. Can I ask why that is? Is there a reason that one has to log out for the other to log on?

She paid a price for those VA health care services. She served her country. Nothing is being "provided".....it was earned.

What about those who are incapable of "earning" it?
This is a Deaf forum and laughable to extoll the virtues of serving in the military.
Still a government run program. If you think that those who would be paying premiums to a government sanctioned insurance program haven't earned the right to pay those premiums, or that they will be receiving anything they haven't earned, you know less about health care reform than I suspected.
Intelligent reply. As I thought.
