"Do they believe everyone is entitled to the same health care as Congress? If not why not?"

[phantom power]

I feel like we'd make a lot of progress if we could force any of these fucknuts -- D or R -- to get in front of a camera and state out loud that they think its OK for some people to live and some die based on how much health care they can afford.

Like the woman says. "If this is the case, state it now." Man up, motherfuckers.

The problem here—and I’m calling out all of the elected officials on the Hill—is that while they are bickering about numbers (it will be huge no matter what we end up with) I want all of them to answer one question: do they believe every person in the country is entitled to the same health care choices and offerings as Congress? If not, why not?

”It’s too expensive“ is not a legitimate answer.

That answer is loaded with the difficult truth underlying the debate—a lot of people determining the fate of our health care system believe there should be a tiered level of care—that some people are deserving of A+ quality care with all the options available, and some are not, and should be satisfied with something less, or fewer options because they poor or underinsured. If this is the case, state it now.

2. Excellent, the right question. Put it in your emails to the weasels that represent you.

They will try to ignore it, don't let them.

3. Why they believe the way they do: WE ARE A REPUBLIC not a

Democracy.

From the earliest times, we have been a country driven by Elites.
People work to get into the Elite Group. FDR set in motion the
beginnings of the first real middle class in this country. It has only
taken a few years( about 30) to get us on the road to losing
our Middle Class. Equality is not the first value in our Country.
Liberty(Financial) is the first value. This is why people go
hysterical screaming socialism. Socialism implies some sort
of trying to provide equality. Often you hear members of congress
say they are free to vote as they please on an issue. In a Republic
they are not bound to vote Constituents wishes--it is what they
think is best.

The truth be known, they believe they are entitled(Congress) to
their health care and there is no compelling reason why the
people deserve the same kind of care.

The Ruling Class rules.

This is no way intended to sound like class warfare. It is a
simple attempt to explain history.

a Democracy."

9. I hear it pretty often, and always correct them

They never have a clue what either term refers to.
