  1. They used one anoynmous source and the story has been disproven by other outlets? They were fired because not only did they not follow protocol but the story has been proven to be false.

     

    No argument. They were fired for not following proper process.

     

    Does that mean they lied?

  2. Are we saying that if a person is culpable in their health issue (ie heroin OD) that taxpayers should not be on the hook? Is that true for fat people who have heart attacks? Smokers who get cancer? Drunks who crash their cars?

     

    And if they're at the hospital and can't pay (as someone suggested earlier as something to consider) what do we do? Put them in jail?

     

    I realize we all are spread on on the religion spectrum but for those of you who claim to be Christians I'd ask you to think about the teachings of your bible and see if you're aligned properly.

     

    Of course, I also think you don't punish the child of a welfare recipient but I know that's not a universal belief on BGP.

  3. The passing of the first one is the reason we are in the mess we're in now. I'm not going to play partisan politics here. The first one was stupid, this one seems stupid. To pretend the first one was any better is simply pretentious. We need to start being honest with one another and ourselves and put aside party line and get something done that's going to fix the problems. Bickering on which is worse is going to change nothing and is going to fix nothing. We all need to admit to ourselves what's right and what's wrong. We need a real fix and we need both sides to participate. Until then skyrocketing Healthcare will continue.

     

    I've already stated the first one had some serious issues - mainly the fact they negotiated away one of the key factors needed to help it be more successful - so I'm not defending anything.

     

    My point was in response to your comment about how fast the first one was passed. This one wasn't even allowed to come to light until Thursday with a vote this week.
