No. They want you to have what they call "free medical care", which
is
to
say nothing usable. You could get sex change operations but not
cancer
treatment.



The government wants us to have whatever the insurance industry tells
the
government it wants us to have. If you disagree with this, please come
back
on your 14th birthday, and we can continue.

Wrong.

Why do you say the idea is wrong? The insurance industry has already
purchased the necessary politicians to do its bidding.

States regulate the insurance industry. They've told the industry
what sorts of policies they can offer. It's not hard to figure
this stuff out, your tinfoil hat notwithstanding.

You really should try exposing yourself to more news sources designed for
grownups.

You mean NBC News? guffaw

"No one has played the role of that "winner" more enthusiastically, or more
often, than Joe Lieberman. He is everything a Washington insider loves in a
politician. He is pompous, pious and available. Routinely one of the very
top recipients of campaign donations from the insurance, pharmaceutical and
finance sectors, and a man whose wife, Hadassah, is a
pharmaceutical-industry lobbyist for Hill and Knowlton, Lieberman has
quietly become one of the greatest allies corporate America has in
Washington.

Notice that the Democrats rode him out of the party, except he's
too nice to get the hint.

For example, Lieberman, who as chairman of the DLC in the mid to late
Nineties presided over an organization heavily subsidized by companies such
as AIG and Aetna (the latter of which also contributes lavishly to his
campaigns), sponsored a bill that limited auto insurance suits by permitting
the offering of lower rates to consumers who forfeited their right to sue.
He has fought for similar anti-lawsuit laws for tobacco, for HMOs, for
pharmaceutical companies. Victor Schwartz, general counsel for the American
Tort Reform Association, once bragged that "if it were not for Lieberman,
there would never have been a Biomaterials Access Act"-a 1998 law that
protected companies like Dow Chemical and DuPont (also big DLC contributors)
from lawsuits filed for the production of defective medical implants. Yes,
that's right: Joe Lieberman fought for the principle of manufacturing faulty
fake tits with impunity.

Ancient history. The Democrats had some people with balls then.
Now the only one they have is Hillary.

In a move that was perfectly characteristic of everything he stands for,
Lieberman in 2001 offered a piece of legislation, S. 1764, that purported to
provide incentives to companies that develop medicines to treat the victims
of bioterror attacks but, more important, extended the patent life of a wide
range of drugs for several years, delaying the introduction of more
cost-friendly generic drugs. Shilling for the socialist subsidy of drug
companies while masquerading as a Churchillian, tough-on-security Democrat
in the War on Terror age: That's Joe Lieberman, and the modern Democratic
Party, in a nutshell."

You're an idiot. Lieberman also wants to *WIN* the war in Iraq and
is 100% behind the President in his efforts. Are you all for that
too?
