Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Barack Obama hoists the white flag over Stalinist health care proposals

The original post was offensive. "President Pantywaist"? C'mon, if you can't discuss something without namecalling, then you don't have a very good argument.

And it is amazing how many Canadians and others who have nationalized health care are weighing in about what the US should do. Over 50 million Americans are without ANY health insurance, and that is completely immoral for a nation of our stature.

I want to be able to buy into a health plan with no pre-existing conditions that doesn't cost a ridiculous amount. The current system does not provide it (it could, but corporate greed prevents it). I currently have a very good health plan through my employer, but if I decide to become self employed, I am f****d.

The arguments against it are fear based rhetoric, nothing more.
