The point was that you like to blame the GOP for everything bad that
happens to you but they were the only ones who had NO voice in this
medical legislation you are now criticizing.

uh no. first, the GOP would never have permitted the BEST
solution...a
single payer system...to take hold. THEY guarded the insurance
companies under the guise of 'free enterprise'.

The American public rejects single payer in most polls.


2nd the GOP has been ranting about 'rationing'....it's already being
done by their friends the insurance companies

Then why are you shocked in the top note of this thread?



Nope. Wrong again:

http://www.wpasinglepayer.org/PollResults.html



That was collected by "single payer.org"
Do I really have to find the polls that say the opposite?

The real question is still, how do you pay for it?
Are those people willing to accept doubling their income taxes?


Well, either it's an accurate list of polls or not. They seem like
pretty mainstream polls to me.

Cut the military budget, fix as best as possible fraudulent claims,
increase taxes for those who can afford it.



Hey! Those were my ideas, sister!

:)

Cut $500 billion out of the military budget...

Increase taxes dramatically on incomes over $250,000...

Close tax loopholes for the rich...

Disallow corporate overseas investments that do not serve our national
interest...

Do not allow importation of products manufactured overseas from countries
that do not pay decent wages and bennies to workers...

Allow a commission to government workers who uncover fraud in government
contracts and payments. ..

I'm happy to pay a bit more. I get a lot of services and am frequently
astonished by what's available for the asking for free to the general
public.
