I wish I could understand what some of you (those against the bill) are so worried about.
We have had this system of healthcare in the UK for decades and while it its by no means perfect, I still wouldnt trade it in for what you guys currently have in place. (not everyone chooses to be poor you know.)
IMHO, all this talk of turning to 'Socialism' seems rather paranoid to me. As if somehow, by next year everything will be state owned and you will all be arrested for speaking out against Premier Obama and his evil Soviet/terrorist ways
.
Can some one please tell why are words like 'Socialism' and 'Liberal' seem to be such dirty words in so many Amercian vocabularies? This i do not understand at all -they are not so frowned upon in the rest of the western world thats for sure..
Feel free to explain it to me.
And hey ...Since when did Capliatism become the greatest regime ever invented anyway? Sure in someways its great, but its also about at stable as 200 foot statue made of soup, look at the way we just had a recession caused by lack of regulation on the way our bankers conduct themselves.
Thanks to our system of 'free enterprise' they abused it and screwed us all. There is a down side to everything, is there not?
Im just saying, there is no harm in taking elements from socialism or where ever - and applying them in areas where the curent system is flawed.
If it improves things for most Amercian people - that is all that matters in my eyes.
It dosent matter if the cat is black or white so long as it catches mice
Love him or hate him, there is one fact you cannot deny Barack Obama - he is a very brave guy indeed.
