That is a straw man; the argument is not about access, it is about the compulsory power of government to forcibly take from those who labor and give it to its special interest groups while ensuring a large cut for itself. Government cannot "give" anything unless it first takes from someone. “Access to healthcare”

Who does not have “access” to it?

If anyone met me you would know that I am not a very martial person or "warrior." But as an able bodied citizen, out of both a sense of honor and gratitude, I have sworn an oath and my life to protect a document which has made this country the greatest society man has known on this earth and which afforded me opportunity undreamed of in all recorded history. This past year I have felt and thought things I have never imagined I could. Today, all kidding aside, if Texas seceded I would go to her if she would have me. Disgust at what is happening does not begin to describe it. And with the unconscionable audacity only a malignant narcissist could not just possess but display so cavalierly and without any sense of irony Obama declared today that we can not treat tax dollars like "Monopoly Money." http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/12/21/obama_we_cant_treat_tax_dollars_like_monopoly_money.html The fact that none in the room did more to call him to task strongly suggests to me that the spirit of a free people is dead in our hearts. I feel I may have lost my country today. I have always considered myself a patriotic American proud of my beloved country.

Calif Tue, 22 Dec 2009 02:54:47 +0000 http://www.neptunuslex.com/?p=12995#comment-469438 You take the 2000+ pages (plus cross references) of the House version, then the slightly different 2000+ pages (plus cross references) of the Senate version. Stir together behind closed doors to hammer out what will likely be about 5000 pages of mind numbing burro-cratic (sic) drivel and goo, then rush it through before anyone has a really good chance to study it, chart out everything, and decide what it will actually do, and you have the formula for problems. On the other hand, we may not be looking at this in the right light. I think most of us here have been on the case of the former junior senator from IL, and his former associates the the American Congressional Debate Club, for not providing the jobs that were promised. Well, the House version will create over 180 New and Improved offices, departments, bureaus, and so on. And like as not the Senate version will be good for at least another 100 or so. So, we are looking at close to half a million jobs right there. Now, for the private sector - each one of the New and Improved Offices etc. will have its own forms, information papers (each in 6 or 7 [dozen] different languages), plus report forms, form report forms, etc. This will save jobs in the paper, print, and related industries. So, rather than having a unitasking boondoggle, we have a promise fulfilling multitasker. Aren't you glad you have me to explain these things to you? ;-P You take the 2000+ pages (plus cross references) of the House version, then the slightly different 2000+ pages (plus cross references) of the Senate version.
