no but honestly ... if McCain wins this i ll officially know how retarded americans are and that all the speculations about it were actually true ... how would anyone trust his office after all the ridiculous things he and his chick vice president wannabe did over the past months ...

lol.....guess i was wrong in assuming that at least the first two sentences of this blog would be read

as i read more political threads from the online forums, i wonder the following:

1) the apparent level of knowledge that non-US citizens have about this election and its highly negative correlation with the intensity of their opinions about the election
2) same as #1 except replace "non-US citizens" with "US citizens"
3) if we should just sell elected offices to the highest bidder
4) who creates these intricate flow charts and pictures that politically-minded people use to satirize other candidates
5) if locoo's quote means that the project of his life is a technicolor butterfly

let's just redirect this blog post more toward the above

Obama doesn't want socialized health care and you're smart enough to know that, so I'm wondering if your arguing that his plan is socialism? I would really disagree. I think of it like this: with Obama's health care plan you get more options.

1) Keep your current health care
2) Try to go to a new health care private company
3) Take a government health care plan that is the same as what members of congress get

His govt health care will be more affordable, which creates competition, which means lots of people take this new healthcare and the private companies go "shit" and lower their prices to keep people.

Socialized health care is that ALL healthcare is run by the govt, (hospitals too), and it's all paid by your tax dollars. Obama's govt health care isn't paid by tax dollars - you still have to pay for it. He's just planning to make it a really low price.

Obama also wants to make laws that stop insurance companies from discriminating against sick people. It sucks business wise for the insurance companies, but on a moral ground, TAKING CARE OF SICK PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE FUCKING PLACE TO GET RICH IN THE FIRST PLACE, so fuck the insurance companies. They've already gotten filthy rich on our suffering.

brett those are obama's talking points, they don't reflect what's actually going to change. you're sickly ill-informed if that's your understanding of the health care issue.

both candidates have sickly expensive health care plans, but obama's is worse, and yes, it is a lot closer to universal health care / socialized health care than mccain's. the difference in cost between the two plans is a projected $300 billion or so as far as a net budget deficit for the next decade. mccain's plan doesn't significantly change the number of people insured, but obama's halves the number of uninsured.

anyway it's verging on ridiculous to suggest that socialized health care is PURELY socialized health care since no system in the world is a pure system in terms of capitalism, socialism, what have you. you're basically confusing the important substance of what it is to be "more socialist" and what it is to be "more capitalist." since a given that nothing is a pure system i thought i would save time and not turn "more capitalist" into a common noun.
