You should (and if "hate" is too strong a word, then you should dislike them greatly).

They are the down fall of the Republican party and ultimately responsible for the Republicans losing this election.



I dont beleive that.

Let me use a quote from Benjamin Franklin.

"When people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. sell not liberty to purchase power". BF

Fair enough... everyone gets their own opinion.

Watch a few of the news stations and you will most likely hear republican pundits stating something similar to what I said.

But, these are just opinions and you should have your own.

My profession is in Healthcare btw

I'll try to make this short.

There are lots of cuts coming starting Jan 1st 2013. Some of the biggest are in cardiology, radiology and pathology. ( specialist )


Way too much fat in that business so cuts will be welcome...

Here's a couple of links

https://www.modernmedicine.com/modernmedicine/Enews/Urologists-face-2-cut-under-proposed-2013-CMS-fee-/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/781533

This is to medicare ^^^, medicaid patients. There are some other cuts that will be happening as well to people with gov insurance.

What is currently happening is healthcare professionals are doing more with less already. Its been a tuff few years.

Some, maybe many doctors will stop offering certain test. And some of these test because of thier cost to perform will be hard to get a appointment to.

and eventually the standard of care will be reduced in order to keep up with the additional people on the rolls, people doing too much work with few less people never is a good thing, its a known cause of medical errors.

Then theres the problem that many doctors just may drop taking medicare or mediaid completly. Many have already here.

So in a enviroment like that. people are going to die. Thier diagnosis will take longer giving what ever cancer they may have had time to metastisize.

So when you hear people saying oh the gov is telling the doctors what to do and its death panles. This is what they really are tlaking about. Because a lot of these specialized test the gov wont pay for unless there is a very very hard working doctor on the other end fighting with the gov insurance to get you a referal for a specialist because it cost a lot.

Hope this helps.


More expensive care doesn't necessarily mean better care.

More testing doesn't necessarily mean better care. If you run enough tests, something's going to come back positive even if the patient has nothing wrong with them.

Like how rich people have convinced poor republicans it's in their best interest to give the rich guys huge tax cuts?

I'm getting married in September. Hopefully by then SCOTUS will have found DOMA unconstitutional, and I'll get all the rights and benefits of marriage, and just just the 1036 that my state gives me. (the feds give you about 400 more, even though marriage is a states right).

No, more like the rich liberals have the left fooled that they are for the poor. Keeping people in the mentality that they have a safty net of gov help/favors does no good for a man. It removes his sense of urgency to do for himself.

With all the money hollywood, bill gates, ophra, soros and many others they ould have created a charity to cover the few people who fall through the cracks of our healthcare system. But no, they wouldnt do that. its going to come off the backs of the working middle class like it always does.

The left continually uses groups to get votes. They are devisive and lately they are VERY devisive and its destroying our country.

I wish the DEMOCRAT party would get back to being democrats instead of the far left fring thats controlling it today. Had they stayed true to demacracy and not the need to USE people for votes in 2008 Hillary would have won the election. And now poor Hillary has been used by a man who has no idea what he is doing,her chances of a 2016 run were ruined by his handling and lies over benghazi because she took the fall for him. and he is not near worth that.

anyway, tax cuts. Itll be interesting to see if all those hollywood elites get a big tax put on them. They dont create many jobs.

Ill tell you what. When you get sick and you go to the doctor cause you cant breath good and he diagnosis you with asthma attack and doesnt send you to get an a CT scan because the gov wont approve the referal. And then you end up a year later finding out after a long sickness that you actually have lung cancer and its metstisized now becuase it didnt get caught sooner. Then tell me you dont agree with me. Ive seen this happen.

More testing doesnt mean better care, but less testing does mean things have a better chance of going un noticed.

No, they can blame them if they choose to. but really the republicans need to go back to thier libertarian roots. I'm not saying they should just toss out thier right wing religious base, but that part is going to have to understand the world we live in now. The gov is not a religious entity and it shouldnt act like one. Thy need to get outof peoples bedrooms and get back in the bussiness of defending policies that keep gov small and out of our lives as much as possible.

republicans lost because we under estimated the power of vote buying.

on tuesday night, i was watch little bit on the election that night, i wasn't that interest by the blow by blow every minute's results. because i think they are boring to watch. i surfing the tv channels's news, some commentators were talking about " the tea bags " as a new party to watch for in the future. i thought about that statement last a couple of days, i would be interesting if the tea bags had own candidate for president and vice-president for 2116 would have under " independence " catolog or a new separate catalog on the ballot sheet. what if they won? a little scare especially how think about america. since both democrats and republicans really to improve their party's images. what would happen either one or both parties use a tea bag candidate as a vice-president's candidate? if this candidate did win, how would that change the country way of thinking? i thought this scenario is something thinking about.
