Teabaggers are so shortsighted
What do they think is going to happen when masses of elderly people can't afford medical care beyond what their vouchers provide? Who do they think will be paying the bill when their own parents and grandparents are caught in this ugly trap? What do they think will happen within our society when we eliminate the structure that was put in place to protect us all?

I would love to see a discussion about the role of capitalism in our nations health care. If rising costs are the problem with every system that is currently in place, I want a real discussion on how we reduce those costs. Have we not progressed far enough as a society that health services have become a right? Profiting on the peoples health should limited to what is necessary to keep the actual health services in place...anything more than that is completely immoral IMO.

1. We had that argument and single payer is best. But the Koch Party doesn't care
about the truth.

They don't care about efficient, successful good government.

The Koch Party wants more money to go to the deserving Top Ten Percent.

2. I hear warm teabags on the eyes will cure the shortsightedness.

3. Silly.
Limiting the number of dollars available with the Magic Health Care Coupon will keep old people from getting sick more than the covered amount, just like preventing teenagers from learning about contraceptives will keep them from having sex.

You Liberals just have no ability to understand how us Taxed Enough Already folks think.

Health care can be run like a business just like sex can be run like a business . . . no, wait . . .

5. If seniors can't afford medical care, it will work itself out in the end
I think that is the goal.
