IMAO: I Shouldnât Vote
"If only the military voted in the election, McCain would win in a landslide of 68% to 23%. That makes sense, because the more that someone likes this country, the more likely he is to vote Republican. So someone who likes this country enough to fight for it is going to be very Republican. I may think I really like this country, but if I explained how much I like this country to someone in the military heâd be like, âYouâre pathetic!â and push me down in the mud.
To which Iâd say, âMaybe, but pushing me in the mud was a little over the top.â
Anyway, maybe we should consider following the Heinlein principle of only allowing those whoâve served in the military to vote. Sure, Iâd lose my vote, but if I really missed it I could stop being so pathetic and join the military. Even if I donât, though, stop pushing me in the mud."

You're making all kinds of errant assumptions that cause me to be critical of your contrarian credentials.
Health care coverage-lets not be euphemistically disingenuous-liberals aren't bent on reforming the system[/b] but are only fixated on providing access to the system, so the debate is about who pays. Life is zero sum.
For a century or more the poor have received pro bono emergency and natal treatment all over the country. I provided links yesterday. Half of those admitted to USC-L.A. County don't pay. They aren't required too. Most other cities also. All the Federal government need do is expand funding-just subtract a few BS NIH funded programs-give that additional money to local institutions and then they could expand services to preventive and allow impossible to insure older or pre-condition patients to piggy-back on.
For everyone else including the middle class, fuck you. I'm 47. now what the "atmospheric" part of my coverage is? A whopping $105 a month. Too many people have been weaned onto socialism by private plans. Here's a novel idea. Want to get your teeth cleaned? Shell 50 bucks out of your own pocket. You're too poor. Shell out 25 bucks-it can be done. Destitute? We'll have a clinic where you have it done for free. Health Care by Pabst: Case closed.

--This guy isn't poor. that's the problem with out health care system, it protects the poor.
--You don't have a pre-condition, I worked for CareFirst and worked on those pricing structures. Cancel your coverage, get diabetes and try again.
Chronic disease is the problem. Not some guy shot in the Ghetto
Thank you for that adventure in fantasy. Here's reality -- over 2000 people lining up for hours, camping overnight and travelling from distant states to get their teeth cleaned:

For those who couldn't afford the care at home, the wait was worth it.
One patient, Dan Zimmer, said "they said you're going to wait in line and I have waited in line but I appreciate I'll get this done for free."
Anyone who drives hundreds of miles to get their teeth cleaned needs mental not dental care.
I see a score of ads in the Miami papers for cleanings in the 25-35 range.....
You just said that it's easy for people to get care.
If so, why did 2000 people have to line up for hours and/or camp overnight in Iowa?
When did I say it was easy to get free dental care? Please show me the quote.
