Perhaps one of you "born agains" can explain what there is in

Christianity that is against helping those who need it obtain health

care insurance.

Since when was Christianity supposed to deal with insurance?

Uh, I think you missed the point. Bachmann is using her simple-minded
religious beliefs to come out against health care coverage for those who
can't otherwise get it. The question should be, why is it relevant to
use your religious belief to keep health insurance away from others?
Why are Christians in this country so adamant about pushing their
beliefs onto others who believe differently? (Not that I believe
Bachmann has any beliefs, other than the "righteousness" of sounding
really stupid)

You're statement that I was replying to was:

"Perhaps one of you "born agains" can explain what there is in

Now that you mentioned it though, why do you feel so adamant about pushing your political beliefs onto others who believe differently?

sure you are.

that would be like after a street sermon, a preacher or religious leader saying "I'm not pushing anything. My religious beliefs do not force anyone from or into accepting a religious faith"

But, if you really feel like you're not pushing any political thing, then why is it at almost every thread you make is swelled with it?

No, what prevents anyone from obtaining coverage under the ACA is an
impossible to navigate federal website and general lack of interest by
the public.

I read somewhere today that the contract to develop the website was
given to a Canadian controlled company who used 10 year old technology
in it's three year development. It also has incurred cost overruns that
has more than doubled the original cost.

Eugene Robinson had it right today when he said, "A group of overly

Why does the government need to pay extra when the let a contract for a
specified amount for the job? Would you hire a contractor to build a new
swimming pool and then when he gets 25% done, he says oops! I under bid the
price. You will have to pay 3 times as much to get the job finished?

Depends on the type of contract. Some are "fixed price". Many
government contracts are "cost plus" where the actual costs plus an
allowable profit are billed. Contractors to the government love these.
