so that we can at least be like the other happy members of society who are content with the status quo regarding healthcare...?

it's better than nothing- which is what we're most likely to get at this point.

3. Lobotomies are evil and cruel, I wouldn't wish them on anybody.
Certainly not something to joke about.

5. the current health system is evil and cruel...
sometimes the best way for me to get past life's tragedies is to find some humor in the situation/circumstance...and what's being done to derail honest efforts to reform our broken-down healthcare system is pretty fucking tragic.

it's like another chapter in the night of the living dead saga- but instead of brain-eating zombies, we're dealing with brain-dead voters. i've been ENTIRELY frustrated and disappointed by the political path and decisions our country has embarked on since jimmy carter left office. i'm tired of fighting- i just want to live out the rest of my life in relative peace, with a modicum of happiness, and a smile on my face...but my frontal lobe keeps thwarting my efforts to do so.

after all- if you can't beat'em...join'em. :banghead:

8. you expect VISION to be covered...?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

dental and vision have nothing to do with health, after all...:sigh:

this country made a seriously wrong turn 29 years ago, and i have serious doubts that we can ever find our way back to the correct path.
