#2 When it comes to "fixing" health care, there are two pertinent meanings to the word "fix".

One meaning is the Chicago "understanding" of the word.

The other is what the Chicago Administration WANTS the rubes to believe they mean.

#3 Off topic: Redneck Jim, you're right -- I completely missed the sarcasm. I read things pretty literally most of the time, so need little hints like /sarc or ;-) . Sorry 'bout that. :-(

#5 All of this has absolutely nothing to do with health care or insurance, or anything of the kind. It is simply a vehicle. It is Barry and his cadre's goal to establish new Federal agencies and a colossus super bureacracy through the hiring of hundreds of thousands possibly millions of like-minded, affirmative action Chicago style patronage employees dedicated to his leftest social goals and re-election in 2012, 2016, 2020 and beyond.

Anyone besides me note the absence of "diversity" in the town hall meetings? The patronage, affirmative action, pay-them-off with gov't jobs and they will be quiet mentality did not beging with Barry. He just kicked it up a notch or two. Barry is simply bringing the chickens home to roost and the evil, blue eyed devils are paying the freight.

President Obama insists that overhauling the nation's costly health care system is critical to economic recovery. But Americans aren't convinced.
"He also inherited a crack in the Liberty Bell. I don't want to that fix either. I do not want healthcare fixed," said one man.

simce the new format here I can't figure out how to post the story just the headline.

#8 Ptah: There is also the veterinary meaning of the word "fixed".

Come to think of it, that might be part of the "plan" as well. That is, to offer teenage boys free castration. Of course, on a "voluntary" basis. Like, if they go to prison. They won't need testicles if they are in prison. And they can be put back on once they get out. Doctors do that all the time.

#9 Doctors do that all the time.

At $50,000 each, wouldn't you?

#12 Speaking of prison, some horrible harridan at Wednesday's State College town hall offered prison health care as a model for the sort of government health care she wanted. I wish I was joking.
