Anyone else find it ironic that the people fighting the hardest against health insurance for all...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

...get it for free from the government themselves?

[arthritisR_US]

1. I know! Greedy, selfish buggers...

[RC]

2. Who? The Congress Critters?

They have to pay portion of the premiums. Being a government employee, the government picks up the rest.
But no, they do not get it "Free".

[A Simple Game]

7. They may not get it "Free", but 100% of their coverage is payed by the taxpayers. n/t

3. They seem to be saying we should get ourselves into that group that gets government healthcare.

Debate moderator: Why are you running for Congress?
Candidate: I need the health insurance. This is the only occupation left with a decent plan.

[Still Sensible]

4. Yes, it's the I've-got-mine-fuck-you

school of thought.

The belief that less-deserving people (in their opinion freeloaders, lazy people, and 'gasp' minorities) are getting something for nothing drives their rage. Of course, they will scream up and down that they earned theirs, and never got anything for free...

5. it's disgusting - think cheney

6. End Free Health Care for Supreme Court and Congress

Unless these officials find out what it is like to find health insurance for those with pre existing conditions and at what cost, they will have no sympathy for ordinary people of ordinary means of ordinary health. Justice for all means access for all. What good is a "right to happiness" if one cannot get health care? There is no liberty in dying on the street or being without health care for one's family and for oneself. Universal health care would be great but, if not that, Obamacare will do for now. The Citizens United case and, earlier the Gore v. Bush highly politicized decision, resulted in a great loss of prestige and support for the Supreme Court. A decision ruling Obamacare unconstitutional will mark in stone that the Supreme Court is just another political body. Justices Roberts, Scalia, Alioto and Thomas have ruined the Court's reputation and historical stature. Hopefully, Justice Kennedy will make a turn for the better and be the swing vote upholding Obamacare.

10. And all that mess about it not benig in the constitution...

...that health care has to be provided pisses me off. That document was written at a time when doctors charged only what you could give. It was a bartering system for health care. They never would have dreamed that our Health Care system would get as far out of hands as has.

8. RepubliCons al all about me me me me me me me and

screw you.

[EFerrari]

9. "Health insurance for all" except those 27 million other guys. nt

[Kingofalldems]

11. That's why they don't take it away from Federal employees

Repubs in Congress in the same plan.

[fascisthunter]

12. No I don't... really think about it

they feel they are helping to bankrupting the system and at the same time while taking advantage of it, convincing others that it doesn't just work for those that need it.

It's cynical, pathological and deliberate... fanatics.

[mother earth]

13. I think benefit and pay cuts are in order, let them endure what the majority of the country endures.

[tjwash]

14. The "I got mine fuck you" is strong with this crowd.

The biggest most outspoken opponents of socialized anything that I know personally are ex-cops / ex-military / ex-county employees. People that got by their whole lives off of our tax dollars, and are retired and living pretty nicely off of our tax dollars.

But...you see...it is DIFFERENT. With them that is not socialism...they just worked harder than everyone else. :eyesroll:
