In 2005 my wife caught a stomach bug so bad it had her laying on the floor, incapacitated, after having basically flushed her GI tract out on both ends. She couldn’t move, so I called 911. When the paramedics got there, they were shocked at how pale she was — and this is a black girl we’re talking about.

Long story short? The Insurance company tried to BS us with ‘Oh, we’re not covering it because it ‘wasn’t life threatening”, six months after the visit. My wife, laying on the ground, so dehydrated that they had to put three saline bags into her, ‘not life threatened’. We fought that bullshit call for a half a year, until finally, they admitted, “Yes, maybe this WAS life threatening. But hey! Your hospital was in our network so we’ll cover that, but your ambulance wasn’t! So we’re not going to cover that! And now that it’s been a year, your appeals are all gone!”

Short answer? $100 deductable for the hospital, and $700 for ambulance service. Swank, you probably don’t give a shit. After all, you carry water for the party that doesn’t give a shit except padding their pockets. Like Bigfoot, you parade around the bald-faced lie that there’s nothing wrong with America’s healthcare plan. Your lies cause people’s health to suffer, and costs American lives, much like your boy Bush’s lies cost almost 4,000 American soldiers _their_ lives, not to mention hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

I call bull on your lie that there’s nothing wrong with health insurance. The American Health Insurance sector has lost touch with its primary goal of saving American lives and has joined the rest of Corporate America in their new goal of fleecing their customers for the benefits of their CEOs and stock holders. Gone are the days of slow and steady growth, replaced with get-rich-quick schemes which once the CEOs run the company into the ground, they can walk away, scott free, with a fat wallet while the workers and ethical stockholders are left holding the bags. Government may not be the perfect answer, but your people’s ideology has so permeated the American society and economy that everything that was ever good about American society has rotted away and all we have left is greed and arrogance. Health insurance no longer works.

So, keep mouthing off in support of the status quo, Swank. You either are a pitiful fool supporting your masters while they fleece you to the bank or you’re part what is wrong with America. Take your pick.

The Supreme Court to do as much as possible for the Republican party while they can. We will see Americans who will not be able to vote and lose other
rights. Woman will lose their rights and all hell will
break out.

Now we can see that government-provided health care will not only reduce the cost of health care by eliminating profit-taking middlemen and provide coverage for all, but it will also relieve religious-based employers from challenges to their values.

NO ! the bastids! I wonder where they ever learned a dirty trick like that!

And Limbaugh and O’Reilly such fine, upstanding, honest, moral, unbiased citizens! LOL. Swiftboat the hell out of them!

Freedom of religion obviously is as well.

How do you figure?

Really? Mine isn’t, why is yours?

It is…you’re just too stupid to comprehend it.

Perhaps you feel more up to backing up your vapid claims today?

Habeas Corpus and right to privacy are on life support…

Freedom of religion also includes, strangely enough, freedom FROM religion… no matter what McCain fantasizes, we are NOT a Christian nation.

Soon they will be enforcing Sharia law!

Get Atlas Shrugged on the line, we need to start the revolution.
