And this was what I was referring to all along. Not the hard working

satisfactorily been explained to me, by anyone - not just Ken, is how
it is OK to throw half a trillion and counting at this war, but $35
billion for health insurance for children is unacceptable. Staggering.

Both are ratholes. One is much larger than the other.

One rathole kills people. The other helps people. And God knows, we
don't want to do that! "Who Would Jesus Bomb?"

Has anybody even stopped for 30 seconds to consider WHY Bush vetoed
that bill? Do you really think he cares about all that bull*** about
entitlements? Does he really want people to suffer?
Or is he simply catering to his big-business buddies in the insurance
and medical fields who stand to benefit from the status quo?

And I love the arguments trotted out whenever the discussion is
national health care. They Repugs always say, "They have to wait
months for an appointment in Canada and nobody wants that." Well even
if true (it ain't), wouldn't that be preferable to not getting any
care at all? Not to mention the cost savings to the patient.


I don't understand what they mean by waiting for months to get an
appointment. If I need to see my doctor today because of an
emergency, he will indeed see me. If I need to book an appointment I
could see him today or the next day, whenever he is available and
whatever time is convenient for me. To see a specialist the wait is a
few weeks because of the amount of people who want to see him/her. I
assure you, they receive quality care. The doctor treats each patient
personally and privately. If it is an urgent request requiring
attention right away, your family doctor only needs to call the
specialist and you will see him as soon as possible. The emergency
room of hospitals are also another alternative whenever there is an
emergency.
