Justin
I know far more about the healthcare, who pays for it, how are insurance and doctors are going to react to it than you, or Obama or Sebelius combined. PPACA has done NOTHING to control healthcare cost…it will increase the costs

I am not on Medicare, but my mother in law is and what I see how they handle claims is horrendous.

And I do not argue with either religious or political fanatics since they erroneosly believe they have everything figure out. You seem to be a fire eater hate the rich left wing faithful

Good Luck to you and I wish you earn enlightment

Hey, do you know where Ayn Rand’s grave is? I want to stop by and fertilize it next time I’m in town.

And oh, Ayn Rand took medicare because she was an enormous hypocrite.

What we need from the One percent is their God damn money. The greedy pricks refuse to part with a dime. The Forbes 400 richest enjoyed a 13% increase in their wealth in just the last year. That increase amounted to 221 billion dollars and their total wealth increased to 1.7 trillion. I hope on their death bed they think about all the money they have and wonder why it didn’t make them immortal.

There are clear differences between the Republicans and Democrats.
The Republicans are greedy pricks that will never be satisfied and the Democrats want the middle class to be restored to former prosperity. If you haven’t figured that out you must be on another planet or are a die hard Republican that doesn’t care about “facts”.

I agree with eat the rich. I am working on my own version of the guillotine waiting for just the right time to bring it out. The rich have screwed this country into the ground and still think there is a little more they can take. The French had their methods and we have ours but the result will be the same.
Perhaps you should go eat a little cake now German.

German, that is total BS. You, like everyone else will find a way to handle the costs and go on and prosper.That same argument was given when Social Security and medicare were enacted. “I will go out of business if I have to spend one dime to help my employees” cried the right wing self absorbed, I did it all myself, no one ever helped me., I pay my employees because I just like giving money away. they don’t earn the money I give them, I am so great and everyone else is just takers, assholes. If your business is so precarious I suggest you just go out of business and let someone else take over.

German, you have a lot of balls questioning a health care program that is not even fully implemented. People like you suggest that the answer to health care costs is to do nothing. Please name one thing that was solved by doing nothing?. Health care costs have been going up steadily for 25 years and the ACA is the first attempt to do something about it.
I’l l bet you are on Medicare and are badmouthing it at the same time.
What is bankrupting the country is people like you that have no problem with the collection side but balk when it comes time to pay.

While I agree with this article’s premise–Ryan and other Republicans who love Rand pick and choose the parts they love and ignore the rest–I will stress that Paul Ryan is also a dipshit.

iamabrummie:
I am not claiming there is fairness in the tax system or in our society.
If we all focus our attention on the tax system we would be able to solve the problem.

My was a reply to EATTHERICH. His/Her kind of attitude is what bring upheaval and communism to a society.
People like that are the” Occupy Wall Street” people living in tents for weeks complaining about the rich and so….
What did that solved? Did it accomplished anything but blocking trafic, annoying local merchants? Any lasting legacy?? NO

On the other hand we have the Tea Party. What a bunch of wackos ! BUT, they organized, they voted and they elected a large number of representatives that are moving their philosophy forward. You may not like them, but their organized power took the mayority from Democrats in the house.

My goal is probably no different than yours. Like it or not if we are ever going to get out of this economic situation we need the 1%, we need the business community.

Also, like it or not, the 01% (the 1% of the 1%) may control the Republican party, but the democratic party is as well controled by other types of special interests also focused in their OWN benefits, not the country’s

If we ever going to solve our problems both Democrats and Republicans need to stop arguing and need to work together
