of course my neighbor lost his house, and my in laws are on the verge of losing theirs...THEY have this silly idea that that economy is bad for them...selfish people.
It is unfortunate when people buy more house than they can afford.
But I'm not quite sure how you blame that on Bush or the Republicans. It was the Dems wanting to make "home ownership" a "right". It is the Dems who now want to make health insurance a "right". The downside, of course, is that someone, somewhere, has to pay for it -- or in the alternative, we have to cut back on the quality of health care we receive.
Again, referring to my conversation with my nephew -- one of his minimum wage employees had to have a $100,000 heart surgery a few months ago. She had no insurance, whatsoever. Got the heart surgery, spent not one nickel, she's not bankrupt, she's doing fine.
We don't have a "health care crisis". When the average guy uses that term, he means "My health insurance costs too much". Well, tough. If you want the best health care in the world, as we have, that's what it costs.
Of the 41 Million "under insured", 10 million are illegals. 20 Million are "electively uninsured" -- meaning, they COULD have insurance but choose not to. The rest are either covered by Medicaid or fall through the cracks and truly need assistance. You're talking about fewer than 10 Million people out of a nation of 300 Million -- less than 3% -- who really need some kind of aid in this area.
Yet, Obama wants to dumb down our entire health care system. That's socialism. |
