I Hope the democrats clearly exclude illegal aliens.
Hope all you want but they didn't. It was they that ADDED it.
A family in the $70-80K range with a couple of children does not have $8,000 per year, which is the average cost of family health insurance, to pay just for health insurance.
You mean they would have to give up their nintendo, Ipod, and other luxuries to afford this?? Oh the insanity of getting a person's priorities right.
If a person has that much value on having insurance then it would be a priority would it not? Would you subsidize me getting a house while I buy booze? No, you wouldn't. You'd tell me to clean up my act and save THAT money to pay for a place of residence. So why are you giving these people who make enough.
As I said I make less than 40K and my wife currently does not work. She doesn't have insurance Col. NO INSURANCE. But do you see me whinning that I am poor waiting for a bloody handout? No you do not. Why because I know that right now we cannot afford it just yet. We have other things that we must pay off/for first. We have chosen to not have insurance on her because we adjusted our priorities. That is the bottom line. You want to keep people lazy by giving them a pass on their poor choices but are the first to scream at Bush for his irresponsibilities? You want Bush to be responsible how about making the American Public responsible?
