So far as the poor go, emergency room treatment is expensive and over used by the uninsured poor. If the poor person gets food stamps, he should get a medicaid card at the same time. The state and the Feds should share the cost, and if the person cannot prove citizenship, the Feds should bear the full cost of all assistence, if they are unwilling to deport the person.

I hope you don’t mind, but I couldn’t help but take the next to last paragraph and put it in my FB status (gave you full credit, of course). It is indeed the spirit of liberty that drives every single one of us in the ‘mob’ to take time out of our very busy days to stand up for ourselves and the future of this nation. We are not going to be strong-armed into submission, and we are not going to be silent! We have an opportunity to stop this administration from going any further, and we aren’t backing down – even with the big drug industry providing all that money to promote Hellcare.

Pat – so very glad we’re on the same team! : )

so it’s the evil insurance companies that obama is handing the populace to on a plate that are funding the ‘ mob’? is this something insurance companies would protest? does he think we’re that stupid or does he think the press that worships his ass is ever so skillfully stuffing his past lies and actions down the memory hole out of reach?

i’ll give them this- few people have any understanding how the pharam companies work the health care system and doctors let alone the fda( just about any tool who passes through the agency and the epa gets some cushy over paid position in firms like monsanto the second they leave office.) and the government. people have to fight with their insurance companies often enough and have more of a personal concrete reason to not like them and be suspicious of them but have little or no truck with big drug companies. only problem is the protesters all know they aren’t paid hacks and they’re realizing more and more that their government has loyalties other than to the People.

the man is shameless . he can’t even lie convincingly or with any semblance of oily charm. one wonders if in his impeachment hearings he will focus on the multiple meanings of the word ‘ is’. i am continually struck by the contempt he has for this nation and it’s people- the very ones who elected him. i for one am never prouder of this nation then when i see average people standing up to a thugocracy of terrorists- whether on a plane or outside a town meeting. i have never been more ashamed of my government than when it flippantly painted concerned law abiding citizens as a swastika carrying racist paid mob whom they intend to ignore.
