Another one to stop

I was doing research for a comment I was going to submit to another website and ran across an interview Senate candidate (and Congressman) Ben Cardin did with a “friendly” site (MyDD.com) and interviewer Jonathan Singer. What leaped off the page at me was this quote:

Singer: Now let’s look at something specific to your state of Maryland. Your state legislature enacted a plan that would mandate that large companies, like Wall Mart (sic), provide at least some healthcare benefits, either directly to workers or through contributions to the state program. Should Congress look at a similar plan?

Cardin: Congress should pass a program that provides for universal health insurance coverage.

It is not acceptable for us to have 45 to 47 million Americans without health insurance. It’s not fair for those who have health insurance to pay for those who do not have health insurance. That was the frustration in Maryland, where you had companies that were not only paying for their own employees but literally paying for their competitors’ employees because of the extra cost for the uninsured.

So the Congress should pass legislation that guarantees that every person in this country has health insurance, and it’s in every one of our interests that that be done.

I wonder if he knows James Hubbard? So, not only would we get tagged with higher taxes and a health insurance mandate here in Maryland if HB1510 passes, but if Cardin wins (and remember, his term would extend beyond the 2008 presidential election and could be the same time as Hillary’s re-election) we might have the same thing nationwide.

Spread the misery around: the unofficial credo of the Democrats.

  1. How is that the credo of the Democrats?

    Looking at what bush has done time and again, I think that spreading misery is his trademark.
    It would only be fair for you to suffer as a non-insured individual…only then will you sympathize with people who can’t afford it, or thanks to your Bimbo Bush, have had their benefits CUT.

    Is it a pre-requisite to be a non-caring, selfish prick to be a Republican, or do all the assholes naturally gravitiate to that sinking ship?

  2. You put moderation on here? What are you, a pussy? Only losers like Toilet Bowl who can’t take what they dish out, do that kinda thing.

  3. First of all Dan, I have been a non-insured individual. It’s not fun, so as a condition of my employment I demand to have good health insurance. Unlike somebody in a union, I’m free to negotiate my own wages and benefits, or not accept an employment offer that doesn’t meet the numbers I realistically want.

    Secondly, I moderate because I seem to get a lot of “spam” comments. Unlike Blogspot, I don’t have the “secret word” moderation on this site. But I moderate in a timely matter, and even though you call me a “non-caring, selfish prick” and a “pussy” I’m putting your comment up. Shows how non-caring and selfish I am, huh?

    Now give me a good reason why I should count on the government to provide my health insurance. The dirty little secret about all this is that once the government does that, it’s going to put private health insurers out of business because unscrupulous companies will just have the government take care of their employees and pocket the difference. In their heart of hearts, I believe Hubbard and the rest of his moonbat ilk have that as their goal, because the savings that companies get by turning health insurance over to the government will shortly be eaten up and exceeded by the additional taxes required to keep the program afloat while maintaining a balanced budget.

    I know, you already think Wal-Mart has already turned over the health insurance needs of their employees to the government (hence the so-called “Fair Share” bill that started this in the first place) but they actually do offer health insurance to full-time employees as do most employers.

  4. First off, Toilet Bowl… find a bear trap and jump your tubby ass into it, you malcreant whore dog spawn of Beelzebub.

    Swartz, considering the taxes I pay (1/4 of my paycheck) with most of it going to SOC Security, You bet your ass I want to be taken care of if and when I can’t do it myself….when I’m old, btw, not too lazy to work. I will pay into SOC SEC for the good of those who need. All I ask is some care in return. I’m at least $20,000 poorer as a result of the taxation of my checks over the years. I don’t want it going into anyone’s pocket in some bureacracy. Take care of me in this “great” nation… otherwise, quit taxing my paychecks.
