now your probably gonna say then why are we at war with Iraq and Afgahnistan...well the second one is simple...because osama bin laden attacked us so we went and shoved a boot up his butt. Now stick with me on the Iraq thingy...see there was a leader called Sadam Hussein who ruled with tyranny. He had already tried to invade kuwait and failed...he had various plans to invade other countries as well...some people called him the next hitler. Lastly comes the threat of weapons of mass destruction...there was a threat that they had them so we invaded not only for the weapons but for the benefit of the countries around the tyrant.

then i'm sure your gonna ask why don't we invade north korea if that's the case...well that's simple because both China and Russia both are allies of North Korea. Fact is we aren't simply strong enough to take on both Russia and China teamed with North Korea...

any more arguments?World Peace is not our responsibility (only a wish of pageant contestants), so your Iraq explanation doesn't hold water. Which treaties are you referring to?

You mean like the treaties we made with Native Americans?

Go look up how savvy we are at breaking them.

We make treaties to advance our position in the world. We havent been able to manage ourselves for a very long time, maybe we should try cleaning our own house before we tackle the rest of the world.

Were at war with Iraq because of Bin Laden?

What did Iraq have to do with Bin Laden?

So your saying that as peace keepers of the world we only want to enforce our ideals on countries that wont give us too much trouble?

That hasnt worked out so well for us either *cough* Viet Nam *cough* Iraq *cough* Afghanistan.....

How can the government provide for so many people's healthcare when they are in so much debt already. They can't spend so much money without serious consequences. Furthermore, I agree that there is alot more to the healthcare bill than it says on this thread. I've heard that people who don't want insurance at all, will be forced to pay it by the government. Is this true? I'm not sure if it is or not?

I don't have health insurance and I do not, under any circumstances, support a government mandated health insurance plan. Do I think that insurance companies should be regulated? You bet! Do I think that illegal aliens should be getting free health care? Hell no!

But if you need emergency health care, without insurance, it is all the taxpayers and people with insurance that are going to pay for your care when you cannot afford $500,000 of bills. The same as illegal aliens. So you choose not to pay the monthly cost of health care insurance and let everyone who does pay it cover the cost of your emergency care.

We are mandated to have car insurance, home owners insurance if you own a house, and most of the time renters insurance if you rent - why is mandating health insurance such a sticking point?

Oh, one more question: Where in the Constitution can I find the provision for Congress to provide national healthcare? I can't find any, and I haven't heard of any movement toward an amendment.

Where does it say we have medicare/medicaid?? But we do
