Social heath care for all, way to go my friends to the south today is truly a new begining and a end to many peoples suffering!!!!!
 
Well done.:biggrin1: It's about time.It's got nothing to do with So......m,it's about a fair go for your countrymen that can't afford ridiculous health care fees. And by world standards they are currently criminally outrageous. .

My brother finally succumbed to the effects of MS last month, twenty seven years after diagnosis. That he survived this long is testament to the care provided by our mother, and the excellence of the NHS during his later, profoundly disabled years.

He was the first of 17 grandchildren, born between 1946 and 1967 (me), to die, a figure unthinkable before the NHS. I was diagnosed with the same condition in 2002, and am still walking, and still in full time employment, largely thanks to early diagnosis and the advice the NHS provides, through its GPs, hospital consultants and spe......t MS nurses working in the community. Long may the NHS continue.

I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences.
 
Thank you. We had the consolation that his passing was very peaceful and dignified, a blessing really after all Phil had suffered.

That is a little consolation indeed. I lost my Grandmother in Feb. We were happy (as happy as can be expected in this sort of situation) that is was peaceful and in her sleep.

I love it when our system is commented on by people that don't vote here, don't live here, and don't have to live in the wake of a bill that quite frankly, the country CANNOT AFFORD. But hey, maybe they will put a regulated cap on what Pharmaceutical countries can charge here in the states like they do in other countries with "national healthcare".

Once the incentive to make a profit in the US is gone, do you think these advances are just going to happen? Everyone in the world benefited from the US healthcare system the way it used to be. But hey, for the last ten years, the beacon has dimmed, and the people, I am afraid no longer have the will to right this ship, and even if they do, it appears congress will just do what they want anyway.

Well, we do have some very interesting looking legal challenges to go before the Supreme Court yet, so I am not crying in my Weaties yet.
There is still hope that this monstrosity can be tossed right in the trash where it belongs.

+1 and then some!!

The rush to "Fix Health Care" (was it really "broken?") was nothing more than a way for the Left to create new taxes and further stifle our economy and kill hopes for job creation. And now, my "unearned income" (interest, dividends) is going to face additional taxes because, after all, wealth is evil, isn't it???

(Time for my medication . . . again!!!)

I certainly hope they are successful. I'm always suspicious when a group of people that shut down during the whole month of August because it is "too hot in DC" get together on a Sunday or a Holiday to legislate. Christmas Eve 1912 brought us the Federal Reserve Act, without a quorum present, a few years back it was the Terry Schiavo Palm Sunday vote, and now we have the "Commie Health Care Vote" of Sunday, March 21, 2010. Gotta love it.
 
If you think this is socialized health care then do not take your medicare, give up your police departments and fire departments. If you will get party lines out of your head and take a look at the facts you will see this is where we need to go.
 
Congrats to my neighbours in the south! I live in a city with one of the best health care systems in the world, and in a few short years I will be working for it. Glad to see the good guys win one! :)
 
Walks away.


Shaking his head in disgust...

Spits on ground under a misty lamppost on the corner of a dark and lonely American street, pushes back his fedora, wheeling around so the winds of change catches the outer edge of his long overcoat, and moves into the night, to fathom what had happened and resolve how to take back his sacred freedom from an out of control monster government...
