You are so right, Ron....and here's just one MORE example of how liberals support....
More Socialism from the left. MORE government regulation of private companies and our people. Their motto is more and more becoming....."The government will DECIDE FOR YOU"
----
Another pox on the dem party:
"Massachusetts politicians last week rose to new heights of holier-than-thou arrogance. House members on Thursday---just three days after the 80-page bill was introduced---voted overwhelmingly to tax businesses that do not provide health insurance for their employees, and to require all residents who can afford it to buy health insurance...
No doubt, buying health insurance is a good idea. But so is buying a car with a five-star safety rating, brushing after meals and not running with scissors. And yet government lets people decide whether to do these things...
If the state can order people to buy health insurance, then where does that authority stop? Why can't it order people to exercise a half-hour a day, quit smoking, and floss regularly?" ---New Hampshire

Yep...leave those liberal democrats and they will be passing more and more of these types of anti-American policies.

Linda, as an example, do you think it's ok for the drug companies to show record profits each year, even though they are aware that millions and millions more people could be helped with the drugs they offer if the price were lowered or free? Did you know know Mr. Capitalism himself, Bill Gates, has donated more for medicine to Africa and AIDS than the U.S.? Which of these forms of capitalism do you think is best?

Are you a socialist, KD?
You appear to be to me....I'd like you to answer though.
Then I'll answer you question.
But you also don't appear to be aware that these drug companies, who you're always complaining about making American system, allowed profits. No income/benefit redistributions that socialists are always supporting.....DO have programs for those who can't afford medications....AND they do give all kinds of donations to doctors offices...clinics for those medical practioners to pass out to those who can't afford them. PLUS our government has another program where the truly poor DO ALREADY get free medical and medicine care.
There is NO reason the government needs to control ANY of this.....not in a FREE society. One that the socialists keep trying to change.

Another example of just how we COULD take care of a HUGE group of those un-insured American....get rid of all the darn illegals....AND have the liberals quit voting to give them all sorts of benefits like they do.
Take THEM off the list and we'd have a much smaller number of un-insured people here.
But no, the liberals THINK and VOTE to give them all sorts of American citizen benefits....SS, drivers licenses, free medical, free legal aid...Medicare....on and on.

Insurance Woes, Illegal Aliens Linked
By KEVIN FREKING
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) --
The increase in the number of people without health insurance has occurred largely because of illegal immigration, a study found.
Researchers at the RAND Corporation, a nonpartisan think tank, analyzed data received from about 2,400 people in Los Angeles County in 2000 and 2001, and applied that information to the nation's undocumented population at large.
The number of uninsured adults in the United States grew by about 8.7 million between 1980 and 2000. If the trend for Los Angeles County held true for the rest of the country, about a third of that growth can be attributable to illegal immigrants.
other reports have place the illegal un-insured at 60% of all American's in the USA
The study does not diminish the severity of the problem of the uninsured. Nor does it call for some sort of health insurance coverage for illegals.
"That's where I don't go," said James Smith, a senior economist at RAND. "That's not a scientific question."
Rather, the study shows that any meaningful impact on reducing the number of uninsured has to take into account the issue of illegal immigration, he said.
"There are pros and cons of providing insurance to the undocumented that should be debated openly," he said.
"Undocumented immigrants make up too much of the issue to be ignored or hidden by polite silence."
The study also indicates that, since the number of illegal immigrants is growing rapidly, "we can expect that the uninsured population is going to grow rapidly as well," said another study co-author, Neeraj Sood.
The researchers said about one in five illegal immigrant adults have some health insurance coverage through their work, but virtually none of them purchase it on their own. Also, they rarely make use of public insurance through programs such as Medicaid.
The study was published in the journal Health Affairs.

No, I'm not a socialist, Linda. I just don't believe that big corporations should be making record profits at the expense of displaced, poor and diseased people. Again, the drug companies make so much money, it's laughable. Yet the amount they give back - the amount spent on research is also laughable. Soon, these companies will become so big they'll be able to control the government - or maybe that's happening now.

You say your not, KD, but there are three different times in this thread alone where you have stated what ARE socialist views of yours.
Like just HOW would you like to see the current situation changed? By the government forcing the drug companies to give their profits up to anyone other than their own shareholders?
