With all due respect, torte reform is NOT healthcare reform, it is only one tiny piece of a large puzzle.
I looked at your glacier pics, and if you match apples to apples, season to season, the result is undeniably that the glaciers are shrinking almost everywhere. THere are one or two exceptions that were predicted in the models. The overwhelming evidence says the ice is going away......... Have you looked at killamanjaro larely?
Won't argue with you about spending habits unless you include all of the costs that were incurred in two wars left unfinished.
Both parties are equally (get it equally) responsible for the tarp fiasco and the financial crisis. There is plenty of blame to spread around there.
Just cannot agree with yuou when you go on your glen beck marxist rants. You are so far out there that it is not even possible to argue with you. You would have to come back to some sort of reality to even have that discussion.
It's only ugly thru your tea party glasses. Take them off and look at the real world and you will see that it is not all that bad.
You have been against WH since he very first announced his candidacy. I believe the direct quote from you would be "fakir, poseur, naif"
Take your bad attitude and bring it out for the election in 2012. You may have a chance by then. For now, you will have to tolerate the majority of us that think healthcare reform is necessary and long overdue.
As to the rest of your complaints, those are normally referred to as '"sour apples" the electorate has spoken and although you have made it perfectly clear that you do not agree with the majority, the rest of us think that WH would be much further along with his agenda if he did not have such a deep pile to clean up from the last administration.

To paraphrase Barney Frank:
"Debating this issue with you is like arguing with the Kitchen Table. "
This is of course based on your continued diatribe against all things Marajuana. Your opinion flys in the face of current research and is becoming the viewpoint of the minority. You may have had your day, but on this particular issue you are far behind.
I would bet a large amount of money that your daily scotch is affecting your brain power more than MMJ's daily toke. Care to put it to a test?
I know that when my wife and I purchased our house in North Routt, we looked at several of the Vault houses in Stagecoach. We decided at that time that we wanted nothing to do with that system. It seems to me that a "vault" for your sewage is just trouble waiting to happen. What do you do the week that your vault is full and no one will come out to clean it for you do to weather, fuel shortage, expense etc.
Seeuski, you seem so dead set against providing health benefits for illegal immigrants. Read this NY Times article and tell me, who is paying for this now.
The coorect answer is every person that uses this hospital or pays insurance premiums. These expenses do not just go away, they are born by those of us that have paid our premiums over the years. It's just not called a tax so you think it isn't socialized. I don't know what else you call it. Anyone?
Seeuski,, get it thru your head one time. Those recommedations for women were not made by a "Gov't panel" and have nothing to do with this debate. Your death panels are not real your birther conspiracy was completeley fabricated.
No, socialized medicine is not going to work, but changing the rules for heath insurance companies is necessary and overdue.
JLM I have already agreed to some of those points as you well know. I agree that each and every citizen should have "Skin in the game" when it comes to healthcare. Paying for a portion of every single service is a good way to start. It helps people control their own expenditures instead of being hidden from the true costs of treatment.
What is wrong here is still 25 years after the cancer incident I find myself unable to procure helath insurance unless myself or my spouse is employed by a major company. Why are the premium numbers so muich higher for a self employed individual or a small 5-10 person company.
This is absurd the risk of insuring me is the same regardless who I work for. The insurance companies try to pick and choose the best risk they are not very successful at doing so and they raise rates on smaller groups without just cause. Anytime an employee of a small group or a self employed individual gets a major disease they quickly find their insurance rates skyrocketing. An employee of a large corporation encounters no such increases. WHY does the happen? The rates should be the same for a 45 year old white male regardless of where he lives or what he does for a living. Factors like smoking and obiesity should raise that persons rates.
These are the kinds of changes that are in all of the proposed bills that I support. The Government providing health insurance does none of this but major chucks of this legislation are necessary and it includes requiring all of us to pay for and carry health insurance.
Our View: Pot ordinance goes too far
Aich, I think thats the point. Take the money out of it and stem the flow of cash to gangs and guns.
You have not done your research well at all if you think you can get two crops per year.
Someone tell him why..

Regardless of the venom thrown out by some posters on this issue, John Salazaar makes some excellent points about healthcare reform.
