That? Is hilarious.



1) You're not being forced. You have an option. You may not like the option, but it's there.
2) I didn't buy a new TV. I got a free converter box with one of those coupons.
3) The doctor's offices & hospitals have to charge more to cover care for the MORONS WHO REFUSE TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE.

JMO, of course.

Yes NYC is or going to banned big gulp soda's .Heres another nanny law.


1} Yes I understand .Ok what happens if the person is out of work and zero income.or a crap pay job with no or crap insurance package.

3}Yes the looser drunks and druggies that litter the hospitals.I agree.

She can't work anymore, and lives off of SS benefits and has children - it's tough - she can barely survive, let alone cover her medical costs. The same exact inhaler, from the same manufacturer, can be bought in Cuba for 5 cents. FIVE CENTS. Five cents because Cuba has government price controls limiting the profit that can be made on pharmaceauticals.

I want term limits too, for all members of Congress. One term per office, in your whole life, with no benefits extending past your term (no life-long salary, for example). Hell, sometimes I'm certain that random selection (like jury duty) would better serve the country.

Yes you are right free trade.But price gouging got to stop.

Two terms and thats it.We got towns here with mayors in office for 30 years.
