Look- I never said I believed in any mandates in fact I don’t. And it’s MERE conjecture to say it will lead to the public option- and sooo dishonest about this discussion. HE IS REINFORCING THE PRIVATE FOR-PROFIT SYSTEM- NOT ANYTHING ELSE. What is it about what I really type and REALITY you people can’t seem to grasp???

And- THE FOR-PROFIT SYSTEM IS THE FREE MARKET… talk about confused individuals, you guys take the fruit cake.

I must comment on mandates. Just met my neighbor up north as we get ready for the upcoming fishing opener. I noticed he had a new Ford F-150 and he has always driven GM as well as I. I commented on his vehicle and asked him why he changed. Answer was that even though a GM guy, Ford was the only company that did not take the bailout money and until the government is out of the picture he flat out refuses to buy GM. By the way, his wife is a school teacher and firmly agreed. He does not want the government mandating healthcare, vehicles purchases, how to eat, sleep, teach, and eventually walk/talk. Reminds him of “1984″ and lemmings as I’ve previously stated. Boy, I’m glad I’m at the cabin. Have at least two days until reality hits again like my neighbor. Now I know why my neighbor back in the Cities bought Ford as well instead of Government Motors that he had done for 30+ years. I always wondered why and now I think I know the answer.

Rob, just the word “Mandate” tells American’s like me to say “No way!” Nobody tells a true American what they must purchase or get fined and if the fine is not paid you must go to jail. If that is the American that I live in, we have a hell of a problem. All my friends agree. Next thing I know the government will be telling me I must buy GM knowing that they own 61%, if not I get a fine? It is so simplistic it is pathetic. That said, the average American could care less. Too busy watching reality TV and American Idol and Dancing with an Idiot! They don’t even know their own Governor in the State they reside in! Sad but true. How about a “Reality TV show” about “Reality in real life America.” Now that could make a ton of money if done properly with “real” people. OK Rob, there’s your Lotto ticket for life. Go for it.

The mandate is just the first step. Next comes “public option” which crushes private insurance companies (after they’re already crying uncle from all the mandates that make them unprofitable). And anyway, forcing small businesses to provide insurance and forcing consumers to buy it isn’t helping the private sector. What helps the private sector is free markets. This is anything but.

My God, what have you been drinking/reading/hearing??? My God, you must be a neanderthal. Go back to your cave. President Obama helping capitalism? What planet do you live on? Actually, I hope he does look back on his policies and says, “Damn, what have I done? I must get back to reality.” Only in my wildest dreams. Of course, dreams have been known to come true? By the way, Cubanshamoo, trust me, he will.

The line has been drawn, not “crossed.” Not yet, I dearly hope. Now the question is “Who will take the right step over the line to correct the wrongs by both parties?” Includes LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2 and now Obama. (did I miss one?) They are all quilty of a socialist/entitlement agenda. I personally do not see that person on the horizon that has the moral compass to take us forward. “He who seeks shall find.” I’m still looking.

So Obama and the Democrats – the alleged party of the people, mind you, as opposed to those Wall Street hacks in the GOP – wrote a bill that takes a system whose fundamental flaw is the profitization of human beings’ most intimate and core vulnerabilities, and they exacerbated that problem, literally forcing tens of millions of Americans to buy a grossly flawed private product they probably don’t want, under peril of government-imposed penalty. If the great governance theme of our historical epoch is, as I believe it to be, the capture of the state for purposes of private enrichment, there can be no greater example than this bill. No longer content with simply using the state to aggregate the wealth of working people to facilitate its easy transfer to elites, this bill marks a frightening step further. Here we have corporate interests using the state (again, under the control of the nominal people’s party, no less) to now engage in coercive ‘marketing’ on their behalf. A big and bold line has been crossed with this legislation, and it does not bode well for the future. Welcome to our brave new world.

If I will be the Switzerland ambassador I will not be able to be part of the Obama’s administration, but of the Swiss government. It is so difficult for you to understand such simple thing?
But never mind, I will ask you somenthing, maybe you have an idea. If your knowledge on climate is so poor and you see that you even aren’t able to learn, why you try to change the theme into something you already demonstrate you know a lot less?. Eh Robby, kids first learn how to walk before start running.

Cunanshammo, Thank you. It looks like “Obamacare” circa 2014.

Paul,
I had rights to drink milk until the age of 7, I was unable to complain for a bad treatment after a parachute accident because they take care of me free of charge. As consequence I lose vision in one eye. After complains for transporting hand granades in airplanes instead of the declared baby food to Nicaragua, I saw my pilot’s license denied, because “eye problems”. In Orlando, a FAA inspector (a coastguard helicopter pilot) make me a long test called SODA (Statement of Demonstration Avility) and after landing, he said you can apply for a clase B license with your unique eye. On 2003 I try to help US troops as parachuter in Irak, the officials told me I was too old. But I try… for more about the nice hospitals in Cuba, see the link

No the “commies” aren’t coming. It is people with your mind-set that is extremely disturbing. Times will be changing my friend. Hopefully for the better. If not and things keep going towards entitlement for everything, we will have a major problem. As you know, I’m s simple man with simple thoughts just like an average American. Of course, I’m not a “Progressive” that tells me how to live as the “Trust Babies” suck from their golden nipple from Mom and Dad that made their future secure with no efort on their part..
