    Employers do not have to provide insurance at all. But insurance has little to do with it. Outsourcing is a result of a number of things. Those "obscene profits" go into the economy to stock holders. Reduce those and you have problems in the economy.

    Conservatives out give liberals in personal giving to the needy by a significant margin. The wealth protection can only be on the side of stingy liberals who only want to use other peoples money rather than their own.

    I don't know about Florida, but here a company has to offer it if they have more than a handful of employees. I can't remember the threshold offhand, but 20 employees is it I think.

    Check again. When you have the CEO of United Healthcare receiving a BILLION dollar bonus, that is obscene. How many cancer patients could that help? His company has bean counters...not doctors...finding ways to deny coverage.

    In that case then there should not be a lot of uninsured in your state.

    Instead we will have government bureaucrat bean counters finding ways to deny treatments.

    Not sure that anyone can say that is an improvement.

    Check again yourself. That's an outright lie. He did not receive a billion dollar bonus. He has had stock options for over 15 years and those stock options are now worth roughly one billion, which happens to be down from what they were worth at one point in time. The stock options started out at much lower prices and have gone up over those 15 years to the tune of over 40 times their initial worth. You know what, that's the point of giving these guys stock options...so they try and make the company worth more.

    Now that your lie has been debunked...on with your regularly scheduled programming.

    Yes, it is an insult to prey on our seniors just to advance the conservative cause.

    Shame on you for twisting my words, you never once heard me mention a nursing home. You also know the ones you mentioned like professionals and educators are not the ones believing the fear mongering so why drag them in to the discussion? Is there future plans to scare them also?

    No, what is being said is an insult and far from the truth. THERE ARE NO DEATH BOARDS and anyone saying there are is telling a bald face lie. How can one hide behind the blood stained banner claiming to do good by protecting the innocent and can intentionally lie to scare seniors just to advance a cause.

    You should repent for defending this behavior, you pretend to be pro-life so you condone scaring seniors with the fear of death. This fear mongering is irresponsible and evil and really needs to stop. I don't know how any Christian can support or defend preying on others like this.

    ?

    Show me where I said you "have propagated that mindset?" I wasn't even talking to or about you at all, but if the shoe fits, wear it!

    Just throw politics out the window. What I stated has no bearing on any particular party.
    Our history has been changed by design
    and we are taught false concept. For instance, who know anything about the French Revolution and how it is used today because most of the revolution has been watered down. We are given doses of the same old thing over and over again. If we do not learn from our history we are doomed to repeat it. Some things have been hidden from us because it is a very successful tool and we don't know the difference by experiencing what work for others in the past.

    I GOT SUCKERED by this phrase for 30 years. All "republic" means is that no one has an inherited right to rule . . . no royalty. That is why the People's REPUBLIC Of China is also a republic as was the USSR under Stalin.

    Oh, I agree with him OldRegular. If hospitals would stop treating illegal aliens they would be much less wasteful!

    Your Christ-like behavior in supporting those who slaughter the unborn or just born has been uplifting to all on this Forum.
