As the health care debate rages, an observer would note the idiocy being spewed forth by both parties as they attempt to defend/promote their positions.
Disclaimer: At one point in my life, I would have considered myself "generally republican".
While the Republican tired mantra of "let the capitalism system work and everything will be fine" is getting REALLY old (free market capitalism+historical human greed=FAIL), the whole idea that NOW the Democratic party is being verbally persecuted is...well, ludicrous. Some of the statements made by Nancy Pelosi strike me as someone who has let herself believe she is far more capable than most of us to make life-affecting decisions for us, the "uneducated masses"....and her statements about protests over the health care reform being "unAmerican" are just plain stupid.
Let me clear my stance on this once more. When COBRA health insurance coverage for my family exceeds $1000/month, and the private insurance route is flooded with greed (we want your premiums, but we will cover NOTHING if we can weasel out of it, sign this disclaimer please), someone please show me where the current system is WORKING?
Making sure the insurance agents live in gated communities, and drive Mercedes and BMW's is NOT a sign the current system is working!
