We all hope that it never happens. But we need to do better than hope. This administration's plans run counter to common sense in terms of the things that need to be done to safeguard the nation's security. Hope is not a plan -- Obama should learn that and fast.

And don't worry about the next 75 years. Unless you plan to go 75 years without any hospitalization or serious bouts, as the socialized medicine he is planning WILL lead to rationing, long waiting lists and a declining life expectancy. The government will see the older people as "cheaper when dead". That is where any cost savings will come from when the government controls all the spending, especially since government programs are never as efficient as private industry.

You likely do not have 75 years.

I 100% agree with this. As I've said many times on here, I've lived in two countries that have socialized medicine (Ireland and New Zealand) and the healthcare was absolutely horrible there. Took forever to get appointments and frankly the doctors didnt seem all that good compared to the health care I've had in America.

Socialized medicine is by far the worst thing Obama could do to America... but I dont think hes going to go that far with it.

Health care DOES need to be looked at and costs must be affordable... we've allowed drug companies and malpractice lawsuits to rape our wallets over the years. Those are the aspects that need to be revised.

Socialized medicine is not the answer and will set this country and our great doctors and hospitals back so much.

i like the coverage i have now, and hope they don't do anything stupid where i would end up paying the same amount that i pay now, for crappy service/care.

Liberals like Hi I'm Dog are more concerned about Republican reaction to a terror attack than safeguarding against the attacks themselves.

Obamas' kumbiya to the worlds nere do wells is all we need for protection!

And the liberals are getting on Obama for
increasing the drone attacks against terrorists
within Pakistani territory. Going in harder than
Cheney/bush.

There is no way to please everyone.

People who think Obama is risking security
of this country need to take a hard look at
the bigger picture.

what are the chances he's the nominee in 2012?

because otherwise, isn't he just stealing oxygen from whatever neonatal icu candidate you wind up with at the last minute?

again...not that i mind he keeps inserting himself in the conversation. i'm all for it.

but isn't the fact he remains the public face for your party enough evidence for the bankruptcy of idea's that you can get some troubled intellectual asset relief program funds?
