    And besides... if Obamacare was so great... why is the President and everyone in Congress and the Senate exempt from it.

    Fact is it sucks.. and they know it... thats why they exempted themselves from it.

    I'm the only one that's ever been in charge of my health care, and I'd like to keep it that way.

    I'm an Amazon Kindle kind of guy.. Even they are over-priced but it's great to carry many books around in an electronic device. Just finished Dan Brown's 'Inferno'. Good book although I'm kind of disappointed that he appears to be buying into that Malthusian time bomb myth.

    So you don't mind paying for their emergency room visits? Cool.

    I don't.

    They should get it or be turned away...

    You aren't allowed to wait to get car insurance until AFTER you wreck your car, you aren't allowed to wait to get homeowners or renters insurance until AFTER you need to file a claim...

    You pay for the insurance when you don't need it, because some day you WILL need it... that's how it works.

    But heaven forbid any of them make a sacrifice to pay for it... because that would be inhuman.

    It's come to this...

    Dems pitch national park on the moon

    Got to protect it from visitors trampling and trashing the place you know. But I must ask, when did the moon become a US territory? Or is it the 58th state Obama was going to visit?

    P.S. It would be the perfect place for liberal moonbats.

    So you agree with the mandate that requires the uninsured to get insurance? That amazing progress Smoothy.

    I believe the Federal government has absolutely no legal or constitutional business telling anyone what insurance they have to buy.

    It's the legal right of the cheap and stupid to die from lack of treatment because they decided NOT to buy coverage.

    I also believe the Supreme court should invalidate ANY law that the Senate, White House, or Congress has exempted themselves from under the equal protection Clause. Or at least invalidate any exclusion written into them.
