Wow, those republicans make me want to puke. She says "it's time to make a stand". My stand is that everyone has right to be healthy.
If these updates wont take effect, US will not be a welfare state.
Obama FTW
First, Federal Level Healthcare systems are illegal. If you want government run healthcare system then work at the local or state level where it may be legal (depending on state and local laws). Also, many states do have forms of healthcare and assistance for those are are disabled, young, or needy in some way or another.
My state offers welfare for families that need it (its abuse is another issue) and has a free healthcare program for children. I dont know about other states, but if your state needs it then ask that state's government to take action. Dont force an illegal program upon the whole country.
Second, Obamacare will ruin the healthcare system. I dont see how freezing doctor's wages (so low that many are quitting) and making it illegal for hospitals to expand (they may apply for an exception once every two years at most) will save our healthcare system. Healthcare will decline with those kinds of changes. And I havent mentioned the panel that decides what healthcare you can and cannot receive.
Edit: as a side note, I dont want the same government that claims that injecting us with Mercury is safe to be dictating my healthcare.
Third, we have other forms of BS to deal with in Obamacare. Obamacare will make it legal for government officials to come into the homes of expecting parents and parents with young children (no warrent required) and tell the parents how to raise and treat their children. That's not all, the bill also gives the government the power to empty your bank account. This Obamacare far more than a healthcare issue. Its an infringment on people's rights.
I could go on, but I think the topic was related to shootings, not this.
Edit: Looks like I was right, someone did shoot Loughner.

Although it looks like Fox wants to demonize a man that potentially saved several lives.
I also hate how the media is trying to blame the shootings on those of the "right wing" while this guy was more "left wing." They are also trying to say the tea party is responsible, but... a guy that burns the flag and calls the Communist Manifesto one of his favorite books just doesnt seem like he would be with the constitutionalist tea party.
