Only Tea Bag Republicans understand just how important it is to reduce the excess population. Bite the bullet Americans!

Lawyers and Hospital Admins are also the badguys. They are the ones pocketing the money and driving up prices. Insurance companies aren't driving up the health care costs.

Congress is guilty of the murder of thousands of American citizens a year because they care more about insurance and pharma profits than they care about the health of the citizens of this nation. I don't won't to hear any more s**t about Republicans being "pro-life." They promote a culture of death and continually exhibit their hatred of the American people.

...unless the dissenting 'Democrats' are really deep cover Republican operatives. Hmmm. Interesting.

When have you ever paid them???? Did you go to jail??? Hospital bills do not go against your credit either! Be careful what you wish for, you liberals and Obama nuts!!!!!

Good. I hope she is a martyr for everyone and ends up saving thousands and thousands of lives by bringing her up in a debate.

FTA:"Young, a previously healthy 2008 graduate of Miami University of Ohio who lived in Oxford, was diagnosed with swine flu and pneumonia. A few days later, her roommate's mother told a local news channel, she went to an urgent care center. But as her condition continued to worsen, she was reluctant to go to Oxford's McCullough-Hyde Hospital to get proper treatment."So, what does this story prove? That people make stupid decisions every day?Even the "public option" is not free, she still would have had to pay $3,000 a year.

The article ignores the fact that Obamacare is going to cost the uninsured about $3,000/year.If this girl had just gone to the hospital when she was first told to, she probably would have saved money over Obamacare -- IF her life could have been saved.It's just unfortunate that this young girl's death is being exploited by Obamacare advocates.
