Quality health care for children, what a leftist liberal concept!

I guess most human beings are leftist liberals?

Or maybe we are just progressive enough to think people, especially children deserve a healthy life. City/County/State governments already pay the bill for uninsured who don’t or can’t seek medical care until the problems become acute. Its the pay me now or pay me a lot later mentality that has hospitals and emergency rooms in such an emergency of their own. People with colds and coughs shouldn’t have to go to an emergency room for their only means of care. Children with asthma should be treated early, not when they have a life-threatining attack. But that is the reality for so many families.

Bush is just cementing his legacy as the worst president in the history of the United States. He has been successful at turning other countries against us, not he is turning Americans against himself and the Republican party. With a little help from DeLay, Craig, and the gang!

Matt — welcome back from vacation; as to your post, SCHIP does not encourage people to switch from private health insurance to government health insurance. It merely covers health insurance for children of families who don’t have private health insurance who have earnings up to three times the poverty level. Private health insurance is expensive and there are millions of families scattered across the country who don’t make $60,000 a year who benefit from his program. Instead of regurgitating talking points, why not instead learn a little more about this program that has the support of 72 percent of the American people. I’m always amazed that the party so eager to outlaw a woman’s right to choose could be so heartless to little children born into poor to low income families.

So “having a heart” means encouraging people to switch private health insurance to government health insurance. “Having a heart” means increasing the number of Americans who are dependent on government.

Where have I heard this before? Oh yes — all my life from liberals.

Pleeeeeez… get this lying bastard and his entire administration out of here so sanity can return to government again! November ‘08 can’t come soon enough. Our nation is so disgusted with Shrub and his Band of Thugs that they can’t get the elections over soon enough…

And enough is enough… I don’t care which Democrat gains the Oval Office, or how big their majority is in both houses… let us fiscally sound, small government, states rights Democrats do what needs to be done. It’s time to Take Back America from those Hell bent on taking it over a cliff.
