My husband travels a lot overseas for work. This summer, every phone call home has mentioned that the folks overseas find the American Health care debate absolutely ludicrous. They can't believe Americans are this stupid.

36. How could you not? You basicallly have a bunch of people
   
who are demanding that they continue to pay for mediocre health care.
It's unprecedented stupidity. Most of the world's people gather to GET stuff from the government, not to get less.

So lets make everyone get less than mediocre healthcare from the Govt

Some people don't value freedom. They would rather have the govt take care of them than to have to work for themselves.

45. what I find ironic is the outpouring of support both internationally, nationally and locally
   
9/11, Katrina, Tsunami victims, you name it and US Citizens donate and give what they can for people.
Locally, there is always support for kids who need cancer treatments that insurance won't cover, or for the family of a victim of a violent crime.

Yet, when it comes to universal coverage people apparently don't get that it is basically the same principle.

No dumbass it's not the same in those cases people donate out of the kindness of their hearts. They aren't being forced at gun point.

61. Hell, I can't believe Americans are this stupid.
   
Brainwashed, AGAIN, into voting and rabble-rousing against their own best interests. It's the gullibility, stupid.

:banghead:

Yeah having Obama force me to either buy insurance that he approves of or pay fines or buying into some worthless govt deal that only covers you on the second Tuesday of the week is in my best interest.  :banghead:

It's stupid ass people with this thought process who will vindicate everything Alexander Fraser Tytler wrote about a "Democracy".

“A democracy can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.”

NEWSFLASH: You idiots can't GET SHIT from the government that isn't confiscated from the taxpayers.

Damn, it would pleasure me to no end if most of you would just end your lives. You're all a bunch of f'n adolescent kids who should have never left your mother's tit. You don't deserve freedom nor are you responsible enough to make the sounds decisions that will ensure it.

If "the rest of the world" had an ounce of sense or integrity they'd be equal to the USA instead of standing in its shadow.

BFD.

Is that the same world that is working on taking health care out of the hands of government?

Yeah thought so.

The rest of the world would love to bring us down to their level.

No one wants to be on the bottom by themselves.
