...if it disagrees with you. End of discussion.

It's important to understand the statistics, because if they only get worse under whatever system you prefer, the system you prefer will be dismantled, or changed to something you don't prefer.

Read it again HM.

a) Govt can't do anything right
b) sugarpop mentions that Merc works in and receives government run health care
c) Merc points out that it is earned not given out for free

If you're suggesting that "Yeah, but" is some ringing endorsement of the quality of govt run health care - you're really reaching.

No. Because "what if" isn't real. It's a pipe dream. I prefer to deal with reality and think we should use what has a proven track record of success like the system in the UK.

I never once brought the VA into the disussion, Sugarpop did that. I responded to her post that the VA was a form of socialized medicine. I did not use it to support or refute what the current system is, or is not. The VA system is like any other huge government run system, some elements work, some do not, some are good, others are not.

Ohhhh, and about those illegal immigrants that aren't being covered.....
So with a wave of his hand they become legal. The issue is less about whether you think there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant (Radar) or whether you want them all to leave or go thru the process of becoming legal. The issue is more about the deception of stating that illegals won't be covered and then just "POOF" making them all legal. This is not the openness and honesty I expected. This is simply more wordsmanship by another lying politician.

Which is irrelevant. sugarpop said he got government run medicine, not free medicine. And sugarpop was responding to a post that the government can't run anything.

So I guess we're going with non sequitur.

Sugarpop is b) in my quote.

How the hell did you get that from your quote?

with a wave of MY hand :)

This is politics ya know. Truth need not enter into the discussion.

Or, if you are Joe Wilson, two months before you call the president a liar, you can introduce legislation to gain permanent resident status for an illegal immigrant named Sainey H. Fatty, who has been working in your district for several years.

Are you a retard?

She was speaking to when I was on active duty, I do not receive medical care from the VA. It is not free medicine. People who get medical care in the military or from the VA get it as a condition and part of a contract they make with the military. If you would like to join up and have the same benefit after you pay your dues I am sure that someone could look into that for you, if you can make the grade. It is nothing of the sort of a non sequitur. But you are starting to make me think that you have some kind of problem understanding the difference between benefits after a contractual obligation and something that people get for nothing more than popping out some group of spawn from numerous unkown babies daddies. There is a huge difference. One group gets their care for free, one gets it after the delivery of and in the performance of a mutual contractual agreement between two parties. Get it?

Or you could just work for that criminal organization ACORN and tell them anything you want to get the job done.

ACORN cannot introduce legislation in Congress.

Thank fucking God for one small thing they can't taint in our legislative process...
