As well as deny ourselves that two week vacation in Hawaii, or that power, jet-ski, or that new boat, or that third auto or SUV, or that luxury, cross-country RV, or that second or third or fifth 55 inch, HD, LCD, flat screen, television, or that princely kitchen overhaul, or that extravagant, new dining/ living room furniture set?
I ask you with all the compassion of both my heart and soul, can we really afford to let Granny live? Of course not! Let’s face facts, when Granny starts costing us more than the combined amount of the interest on the national debt, our entire defense budget several times over, and all discretionary congressional spending (pork-barrel spending for those of you with a typical, substandard, worthless public school education; or to express it in clear and direct, simple Orwellian terms, it’s simply, liberal democrat, constituency service; but bribery as in buying votes and cronyism as in fattening and larding up your political pals‘ pockets will also do too) - I really am sorry to say this, but when that time comes, and mark my words, even with the brilliant perfection and laudable and praiseworthy reforms of Obama-care, that day is coming and much sooner than anyone could reasonably and humanly, possibly expect.
And when it finally arrives, again I really am sorry to say this, but it will really be high time for Granny to go - permanently, irrevocably and irreversibly (and for those of you with a public school education, all them fancy words simply means it will be high time for Granny to enter into a liberal-government, sponsored and administered “cockroach hotel/motel” - you know, the one where you check in but you don’t check out).
Look here, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the Obama healthcare plan which also is not all that insensitive and cold, calculating and callous as it might seem to be at first appearance. As I have stated or rather intimated previously, president Obama loves Granny, yours and mine and his own (even though none of his parents or grandparents are still alive, but if they were still with us I am sure he would love them dearly and would let them live, for surely as a true liberal, he would not kill them, no, because he would only abort and kill unborn, innocent children, because that’s how we liberals reason.
If you’re in your mother’s womb and are indeed, at the most vulnerable and precarious stage of all life itself, why it’s “bombs away” and take no prisoners nor give any quarter, but completely annihilate the unborn child and deprive it of its very life and breath, and then dump it in the trash unceremoniously and incinerate it, but wait a minute, isn’t that what we’re gonna do with old people? With Granny? Nahhhhhhh.

Thanks for he article...It made my day. I'm all for health care for everyone but "Obamacare" just rubs me wrong. I can't give a better solution per se but torte reform might be a better idea. As I said before not sure how to go about it but anything beats being fined or forced into poverty just beacuse you HAVE to carry insurance.

Dear Deathrider6,
Thanks for your kind comment.
I see it in very simplistic terms - simply get liberal-progressive bureaucracy and big-government out of it, and return to true free marketplace based reforms and business practices. And for the poor, give them vouchers - but with copays so even they would have some skin in the game.
BTW, tort reform would be, nay, make that must be a major component of healthcare reform. Yes, we need scumbag, shyster, lower-than-the-belly-of-a-worm, bloodsucking, vermin lawyers to a certain extent and degree, but not these aforementioned vile, scumbag, bloodsucking shysters.
Speaking of whom, does Sen. Edwards ring a bell?

Sen. Edwards...That name does ring a rather loud bell. Now to continue my train of thought. Would possible deductions for health care insurance costs also work to make healthcare insurace more attractive to smaller business? I know the requirements vary from state to state but if you made insurance premiums tax deductable for both business and private indviduals I suspect more companies could and would find it more attactive to offer coverage. Just another couple of thoughts here to stir the pot.
I do agree that the bureaucracy should be kept out of it as much as possible as it adds more cost to any program. The fewer layers the less unneeded expenses are involved.

Dear Deathrider6,
Thanks again for the comment.
Sorry, a little bit too much in the weeds for me.
But yeah, sounds good to me...I think. Surely however, you're on the right path.
