Obamanable Faux Man
New member
I keep seeing libs talk about how unwilling Republicans are to have a rational debate so my challenge is to them. All I've seen is verbal attacks against the opposition and ZERO reasons why we should adopt a Government Health Insurance plan.
If we are to have a rational debate, please cite WHY you support Obama's vision of Health Care -- and don't cite "reform" -- everyone wants "reform":
1. How has private insurance failed?
2. Are you insured? Have you ever been denied treatment?
3. Is Government really going to bring cost down when they're a primary component in the high costs of health care?
4. Is Medicare a beacon of "hope" or just another failed Government insurance program?
5. What specifics in the bill do you like?
6. Are there any parts of the bill you'd change?
7. Do you think it's a short-term solution or long-term solution?
8. Do you see it leading to single-payer?
9. Does rationing affect your decision? Medicare DOES ration...all insurance policies do...the question is, do you want Government in charge of those decisions?
10. Do you think business owners will drop their employees from the employer sponsored plan and opt for the Government plan? If so, how does that affect cost to the rest of us?
11. Does it worry you that Geithner and Obama have been avoiding the Middle Class Tax Increase question -- saying "all options need to be left on the table?"
12. Is it the Government's job to teach you how to raise your children?
13. Is the Federal Government taking on too big of role in our lives? Do you see that expansion impeding on State rights?
14. Mass., Oregon, Hawaii and California's attempts at Government health care have all failed -- do we keep chipping away "hoping" we'll get lucky?
15. Do you understand how insurance works?
16. Do you feel responsible (as an individual) to mitigate your own financial risk?
17. Do you know what the UNFUNDED liabilities are for the program? Is it safe to base a long term decision upon short term estimates (10 years)?
18. Is emotional rationale a big part your decision?
19. Is health care a fundamental right?
20 . Do we cripple the poor by "giving them a fish" rather than "teaching them how to fish"?
Let the rational dialogue begin.
