The thing is that subsidies for the health insurance exchange are set up exactly analogous to how Republicans in favor of private school vouchers would set up those subsidies: the money follows the customer/student, regardless of whether they pick the public option or a private option. So, on principle, anyone in favor of school vouchers shouldn’t have a problem with the way the public plan and subsidies are structured in this bill.

But besides all that, those in favor of a public option want to have that choice. Lindsey Graham wants to take away your choice and force you to buy private insurance even if you’d prefer public insurance. How un-American is that?

An MRI before an emergency appendectomy? Really? Unbelievable! If I hadn’t heard that from you, of course. One of my sons had an emergency appendectomy a few years before yours, and I’d never heard of an MRI first. Regrets on those humungous bills–we learn something new every nanosecond about health care, or lack of health care, I fear…

Wow, Loo Hoo, Twain is right. Graham really is a low-life dirtbag.

I don’t get it. What does being useless have to do with punching one’s way out of a wet paper bag with a hole in it? It seems to me that it would be more useless to actually do such an activity than to not do it.

I went to a walk-in clinic (found out the rash was shingles), and the doctor made me sign an “AMA” form because I wasn’t going to get a mammo ASAP. I can’t afford to do it right now, and it’s not (IMO) a high priority/high-risk thing.

I want real public option, I want strict regulation of the insurance and drug companies, and I want the government to negotiate drug prices so we aren’t subsidizing Big Pharma.
If we can’t get those, I’m going to write my congresscritter and ask him to vote against it, because without those, it’s the same effing system we have now.

Make him send all his mail FedEx.
Make him pay for mercenaries instead of the army, the navy, and the air force.
make him hire private companies to replace the Coast Guard.

idjits.

I agree with you, being a Ms. should not be used as a derogatory term. But in this case I think the commentors are referring to the fact that Lindsey Graham was featured predominantly on the website MenWhoLookLikeOldLesbians, and no offense to the fairer sex, or old lesbians, but the comparison was spot on.

After having lived in South Carolina for about a year I can tell you that few of their Republicans have stepped outside of the bubble. They represent the meaning of a good ol’ boys club. Lindsey isn’t typically one of the demagogues – he is usually just clueless.

They have no idea what it’s like for people regarding healthcare, jobs, houses, food & gas prices, taxes, mass transit, poor road conditions, and on and on and on!!!
