Jay D. - great points. Their statements make as much sense as Rush saying that he is going to move to Costa Rica if the health care bill passes. Rush - Costa Rica has socialized medicine! Some of these people can't possibly be religious - certainly not Christian. If they are they need to go back and read the gospels - especially Matthew 25... We all need health care. All of us. That should be a no brainer. As far as how to best do it, that is open to debate. But to be against everyone receiving health care is simply evil.

mmm mmm mmm Roger & Lynn. According to your statements - healthcare should not be a "right" in this country. Does that mean you think we need to do away with Medicare and Social Security? Does the constitution speak about those two programs? You both must be getting yours - so who cares about the rest of the country - it's just a bunch of immigrants anyway, huh. mmm mmm mmm.

There is so much in this article that is based on false premacies it's hard to know where to start. Health care is now a "right"? Are you kidding? Where, in the Constitution is that written? Just because a drunkard named Kennedy said so doesn't make it so. There is no way that legislated health care, run by big brother government can "provide" health care. The only thing that will come from it will be "RATIONING". Wake up.
