Why is President Barack Obama suddenly drowning in a sea of widespread resistance to his centerpiece legislation? Because it has now become quite clear to Harry & Louise Q Citizen that this was a man without a “constructive alternative” to the out-of-control healthcare system he has badgered and rhetorically beaten bloody to a pulp.
THAT my friends is the problem. People (most people) understand that we have an out-of-control healthcare system except people on Medicare (who should not have a voice in this since they are already on socialized medicine), People who are young and nutty about taking big risks, People who’s average of twelve grand a year health insurance costs are subsidized by their employer, and people who work for a government agency and have great insurance. All the rest of us poor mopes understand clearly that we have an out-of-control healthcare system and it must be revised and repaired.
The divide on this issue among Conservatives is the admission or consent to the idea that we DO have an out-of-control healthcare system.
If you deny that, then I can’t debate or argue with you. You don’t see a problem.
What must happen is People who AGREE that we have an out-of-control healthcare system must begin to have a conversation of how to repair it. I had hoped that conversion would have been with people who are conservative fiscally and socially and who do NOT like government control. I am one of those. Instead we have descended into the caldron of accusation. Just like the last Presidential Primary. How’d that work out. We voted for an old guy hoping he would quit early so the young conservative would become POTUS.
Now we have Obama. He doesn’t have a plan either other than to expand government and socialism in America.
The conservatives in the USA have no plan at all.
SO, lets see, among those who actually recognize that there is a problem with an out-of-control healthcare system can we please find a way to offer an alternative other than the house of cards status quo?
Otherwise, I’m afraid Obama will win the day because we failed to offer leadership.
Is anyone Listening?
Before you can sober a drunk up he must first admit he is a drunk.
We are drunk on a toothpaste and toilet paper system that is an out-of-control healthcare system. Time to quit drinking folks and start fixing it.
If you don’t admit that it’s an out of control healthcare system, then I can’t discuss it with you. You have your head in a barrel yelling la la la la la as loud as you can hoping not to hear the cries of a population that is drifting off into oblivion.
Are there now prisons, are there no work camps? If they are going to die, let them die soon and decrease the surplus population. Ebenezer Scrooge.

You are mixing apples and oranges. Yes, there are many aspects of the healthcare system that are messed up and fixes are needed.
BUT the things currently being worked on in D.C. by committees of elected representatives from both sides (so stop calling it the Obama plan as tho he is singlehandedly authoring it) if NOT an attampt to fix healthcare.
What they are working on NOW and FIRST is getting needed healthcare to all. Ask my friend who is uninsured and cannot afford treatment for most basic things if he CARES if the system sucks. He just wants a peice of it to get meds for his condition and checkups and the ability to go to the doctor when he hurts. Once he gets into the system, THEN he can start to complain about it.
Which is just what our elected officials intent to do. Once they get "universal care" so that all citizens have access, THEN they can go about fixing what KIND of care and quality and speed of access and waste and work on improvement.
To criticize the CURRENT PLAN to expand coverage to all because it does not fix OTHER THINGS is just distracting. Everyone KNOWS that.
