All we are going to see is what the insurance industry has to say through their bought-and-paid-for representatives in Congress.

And thanks to the recent ruling by the SCOTUS, there are going to be a lot more bought-and-paid-for representatives.
One of the gravest dangers to the survival of our republic is an ignorant electorate routinely feeding at the trough of propaganda.   -- Locutus

  A poll was taken of the people living over there and us.  The people were more satisfied than us. 

Was a source for this statement ever provided?

And before you go all hillbilly ninja on me, Troll, you should know that both me and Henry consider me a wild-eyed radical with dangerous revolutionary plans. But when you deliver a declarative statement as a fact, you gotta show me the source. I might want to use it.

  LOsborne, my lightest voice and the most even temperament. the information you want is right before you as you read this, IT'S YOUR COMPUTER!

  Just Goggle this in, "what is the standard of living rating of usa in the world."

  Just Goggle this in, "what is the standard of healthcare rating of usa in the world.

  You will find more information than you will want to read, but America is not as in good shape as the health insurance companies and the people who don't want health care for our people, wants us to believe and don't misalign the hillybilly's, their also one of the group of people, who have mistreated by the elite.

The Troll  :) :) :)

Troll, the issue is not whether I can research the question. The issue is why you think your unsupported word is good enough. Anybody can make up "facts," and then claim a person with an opposing viewpoint is a sloppy researcher, or didn't look hard enough.

Chicken Little said the sky is falling with more supporting evidence than you have provided. The basic rule of journalism is to have at least two sources, and to provide them. If you choose not to do so, I'm left to conclude you learned persuasive writing at the feet of Joe McCarthy, waving his grocery list and declaiming "I have here a list of the Communists in the top offices of this country."

  ..and don't misalign the hillybilly's...

I was unaware that misalignment is a common issue with hillbillies. What is misaligned?

And you can call me Lolly. Everyone else does.

I was born and raised in the mountains of southwestern Virginia. I have one leg shorter than the other from all that walking on mountainsides. I would call that misaligned.

Okay, let me think about this for a minute....if you are walking to the east and your left leg is shorter, I can see where you could make pretty good time....but coming back, unless you walked backwards, which would be tough.....wouldn't you do cartwheels down the mountain...making coming home a near impossible task?....just a thought BEFORE my first cup of coffee...

We walked all the way AROUND the mountain!  One way! Have some more coffee! With a little shot of Jameson!

Lolly, thou are thou playing thy Troll.  My unsupported word.  Are thou a meathead, a cabbage head.  If you would take thou educated brain and go to the sites and thou can read and understand simple English which you seem to have some control of.  READ THE DAMN STUFF!  I'm not going to take a "baby" spoon and feed it to you.  My word is my bond, I don't lie, because I don't have to or prove it to someone like you,  that I'm something I am not.  Because everything I have done in my life didn't have you in it.    :wink: :biggrin: :biggrin: :yes:

Troll - sorry, but Lolly is right. It's not a matter of spoon-feeding...it's a matter of diminishing the integrity of your arguement/discussion when you don't support your comments w/facts. It's your comment and so the burden of proof to support your position lies with you. Plus, it's the courteous thing to do.

Dear Super Rumor Stopping Hero Eggo, if you think that I am going to print all of the information that is available to you on these sites at the touch of your little bitty fingers, you must be in Lolly land.  tho I was an Information Specialist in the U.S. Army,  I am not a journalist.

   You guys are the WORDSMITHS.  If you don't like the way I presented  the facts to you, PROVE ME WRONG.  How about that.  All you have to do is tell he I am wrong and you present your written facts.  I have not been college educated in in the fine are of wordsmithing.  I am just a plumber/pipefitter who have had to deal with facts and people like you.  Take what I say, believe it, if you want, but I don't think you will find me wrong very many times.  I sure don't ever want to be wrong.
