Is the GOP like a spoiled child--they only want health care reform on their terms


Is the GOP like a spoiled child--they only want health care reform on their terms.?
Any reasonable and enlightened person knows our current system sucks and like a broken down car needs to get into the repair shop before the engine blows. Are they just too messed up in the head to stop their nonsense and help solve the problem.

Are 54% of Americans like spoiled children? If so, then yes, I guess Republicans are too.
2 :
On their terms? No. They just don't want anything done unless they are doing it. More like a really overly competitive sibling who is always trying to outshine the other. Willing to screw themselves over to not let the other one accomplish anything.
3 :
They just don't want Obama to be the one to pass it.
4 :
no they're just worried about paying the mechanic
5 :
Or, maybe some of us can see that the democrats are trying to get us started down a road that leads to single payer coverage. Anyone that doesn't see that is either dishonest or naive. lp
6 :
The current proposal would make it much worse. Not having anything is better than that.
7 :

Here's an answer to your bs... This is from a doctor who works the emergency room shift who sent this letter to osama. Dear Mr. President: During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone. While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture".....a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear. Respectfully, STARNER JONES, MD If you agree....pass it on.

Republicans only like things that help rich, old, white men stay in power. If the American public got a taste of good healthcare, it would pave the way for us to experience other things, like equal pay for women, a smaller contrast between the classes, clean air, reduction in global warming, better education that is more on par with the rest of the world, etc. The heads of the GOP know that people who can think for themselves won't put up with being treated badly, so they use falsehoods and scare tactics to keep the masses ignorant.

Is that why Harry Reid made the deal with the Nebraska Senator, or the deal that preserves Medicare advantage to 800,000 senior in Florida? Nice job of totally ignoring the facts.
14 :
The GOP are brain dead. They only care about money.
15 :
And exactly when will the democrats realize, the american people do not want their current health care bills When they all get voted out later this year ? So why not scrap the current bills and start over, that's what the american people want to happen ? And why not mention the house liberals, blocking a vote on the senate bill, just because they want a public option or nothing at all ? Republicans are blocking nothing at all, the balls in the democrats court now The House is trying to say, its our way or no way

GOP elected officials are adept at placing party/power before country/citizens. They've used egregious fear tactics and outright lies to tear down the President, and they'll stop at nothing to ensure he fails. This, of course, discounts regular Americans, who would all benefit from real health care reform. Interesting that when Republicans were in control for 8 years, their "leader" only offered more privitation (including social security). So much for "compassionate conservatism"-the epitome of an oxymoron. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/weekinreview/28abelson.html

What? why not try the things that don't cost anything first, then see what happens before you nationalize 1/6 of our economy? THings like cross state carriers, tort reform, etc. BTW- Do you know what health institution declines more claims than any other? Medicare! Medicare declines more claims than any other insurance provider in the US, 16% more denials than Blue Cross/ Blue Sheild! Che-che: Awesome post!

They are too locked into a thought process that believes that poor and sick people are morally inferior to monied heathy people. They actually think it is God's will to smite the immoral people and their spawn with what they deserve. It is a convenient and morally righteous way to mentally dehumanize people they find distasteful and expendable. Spoiled children aren't so intentionally mean and heartless, they are just overpriviledged kids.
19 :
None of the GOP's suggestions have been implemented. Obama & Pelosi have shut the GOP out of the process in the most partisan national reform in American history. No other politician has attempted such a sweeping change while ignoring any input from representatives of 49% of the American people.

Your question reminds me of another recent one asking how so many could have voted for Obama, but are now seeing him with open eyes. I'm afraid you'll feel that same way AFTER this over-priced, over-legislated, government take-over healthcare bill is passed. Have you read the 2000 pages? I beg you to read them and then see if you still feel the same way. You know page 820 says government may access all personal finances? You know page 915 says government Mandates cultural and linguistic competency training for healthcare professionals? You know page 859 says government will establish a public health fund at a cost of $88;,800,000,000 (which is a Billion)? You know page789 says government will mandate drug prices controlling which drugs will be brought to market? You know page 676 says government will regulate hosptials in every aspect? And they also will decide about end-life decisions. Now, truthfully, are these things the reform America really wants? No. That is why is many are against it and not "messed up in the head". Please know what's in the reformed bill before telling those against that they are like spoiled child.
