Well, LH... Think about it this way... The government is ultimately responsible for either allowing people to die or pickin' up the tab to keep them alive so me thinks that if folks don't like it then they should be able to opt out of health care entirely... That may sound cruel but if you have no way to get folks who are young and healthy payin' into the pool then all yer gonna end up with is the high risk people... So I think that, yeah, if you want health care then, like auto insurance, yer gonna have to step to the plate and participate...

If you don't want it and agree to *never* use it regardless of the situation then, fine, opt out and just take yer chances...

But that is an argument that we never could have had because it would sound heartless and inhumane...

Meanwhile, today could be the day where the House reaffirms its earlier vote... What a bunch of baloney... Shouldn't have to come down to a million parlimentary loopholes...
