    Liberal view - people are too stupid to make their own decisions so we will make them for them.

    Conservative view - people need to be given more control over their health care, more options and remove the third party payer that distorts the market.

    Liberals: Healthcare provided by the government, through taxes and otherwise.

    Conservatives: Healthcare provided at a cheap rate through allowing companies to sell across state lines.

    Basically Government-Controlled vs. Free-Market.

    incorrect, Augi. we don't view well being care as a privilege: it extremely is a duty for each American to furnish for himself and his kinfolk, if he has one. i don't have faith Senator Harkin (D - Iowa) that declared it an "inalienable good" - those rights are derived from God, not the state. in case you enable the government to furnish for all your desires then you definately adjust into based on that government for sustenance and it will become your "grasp" and you the servant. And why is it that liberals, which includes your self, continually dig up the coolest ole "Race card" in those discussions and throw it interior the pot. you utilize it as a crimson herring to shift the argument and verify out to silence those, which includes myself, who experience in any different case appropriate to the project. i could say that it replaced right into a superb try, yet definitely it extremely is an previous trick and a lame one as properly. it extremely is somewhat useful to take your marching orders from the government; whether, i don't. Oh, and with the aid of the way, you may prefer to pay interest on the arriving court docket demanding situations over the bill and countless of its provisions as they're believed to be "unconstitutional." Get your crying towel out now because of fact i think of which you would be wanting it. Do your self a prefer and study the form, the Federalist Papers, and books on the controversy that got here approximately jointly as the form replaced into being built. you may definitely learn some thing considered necessary.

    "Conservative = get your own and to hell with everyone else."

    Not so ole Liberal one! We all agree something needs to be done but the way it's written right now will cost YOU more in the short run as well as everyone else? I don't suppose you have done any research other than what your Liberal friends have told you so I'd suggest very strongly you research it and then form your own opinion! The health bill isn't going to be free and isn't going to cut cost to the average joe out there working for some joe blow company! ALL compaines will be taxed on under this bill and just who do you think the company will get the money from? The Government?? Wake up my friend!

    Depends on the reform being proposed. What's in senate now is not a reform designed to help Americans.

    Liberals: Have been sick or have had a family member that was sick and have been screwed by their insurance companies in their hours of most need.

    Conservatives: Have never been sick or had a family member that has been sick. They still have faith that their insurance companies will be there for them when they need it...they won't.

    Insurance companies take your money(that is if you qualify...each company has their own very long lists of things that will never be covered by them) and pocket it or use it to pay the salaries of loused up doctors and auditors whose jobs are to find little loopholes or just flat out deny your claim...to keep them rich.

    Watch Fox for the Conservative views and almost every other media outlet for the liberal views.
