Didn't mean to take so long to get back to you, steve, had to be pallbearer earlier this week for relation. That's why I was asking questions...just why is it that people who are self employed treated like they are? While my 'relation' had put plenty away for her funeral, being as how the insurance wouldn't cover the 'clinical trial' that kept her alive a year past the time she was supposed to die, she was forced to go on GA. Whatever 'change' remained after her funeral, the county got.

Sorry, B.A.C.- But when I question things, I look for answers. Not more questions. However, when I am asked questions, I try to answer them, while keeping the original topic of debate alive. Therefore, after asking questions, and answering questions from you, where are some of your answers? That is what debate is all about.

Sorry, steve, I just thought that my questions might answer yours, or at least give you something to consider. "Counter questions" if you will? Our Congress are the people the majority of us voted in. I don't mean to be rude, but where is 'your' Congress?

This poll, that poll. When it's a 2% difference, who can say? What's even the point in arguing something like that? Obviously, it's about half and half, and we don't know what the heck we want.

When the American people are told about the truth about Obama care the majority disapprove. Most Americans would like some form of health care reform but not at the costs this plan will cost. Even Gallup has the majority of people disapproving of Obama's handling of the plan.

Dylan, the ama leadership illegally endorsed it. It needed to be voted on by it's delegates and will pribably be recinded. The unions are for it vbecause they are being exempted from paying for it.

b.a.c- I respect your opinions, along with everyone else's, but, when I ask a question, I don't expect more questions to my questions. I answered your questions to my questions anyway though, even though I was waiting for answers.

I didn't vote for anyone who is involved in this big government takeover of healthcare. The fact is, like I stated before, the majority of Americans are against it, so why is "our congress" voting for it, and cramming it down our throats when we don't want it? And why do some people answer questions with just more questions? That is not debate.
