Yeah none of the right-wingers here read anything Krugman said. They just read the title and immediately dittoed the talking point they have transmitted to their heads from the RNC.
Just one average Joe's opinion on why the markets can't cure helathcare

The most compelling reason to fight for health care reform is to ensure that 47 million uninsured men, women and children have access to a doctor, and won’t be bankrupted if they get sick.
I guess that doesn't appeal to compassionate conservatives.

DNC, you know everyone just ignores you, don't you? It's like you're white noise in our conversation.
We are the government, we vote. The corporate robber barons are above the law and should be imprisoned. However, after the past 8 years, I don't blame you for feeling that way.

This was a compelling argument. Nice riposte.
Care to explain to me how healthcare delivery by for-profit private monopolies are better than the public universal systems provided by the French, the Germans, and the Danes?
This time, using actual metrics like life expectancy, ratio of uninsured, child mortality rates, and cost efficiency…..rather than the always compelling “You’re a Moron!” retorts?

Tried to give you some rep points for that. Very true.
Any time over the proven failure that is the current system.

health care reform has not yet been passed.....if you get sick tomorrow, are you going to die for lack of treatment?.....

Our compassionless conservative friends seem unable to stop claiming that the proposed public option (health insurance run by government that acts as insurer of last resort) is a stalking horse for a single-payer health care system.
According to their theory, private insurance will wither in the face of a public option and President Obama will get the single-payer system he secretly wants to impose on an unwitting nation.
Here's what the President has to say on the issue: "For us to transition completely from an employer-based system of private insurance to a single-payer system could be hugely disruptive, and my attitude has been that we should be able to find a way to create a uniquely American solution to this problem that controls costs but preserves the innovation that is introduced in part with a free-market system," President Obama, Annandale, Va., on July 1, 2009.

sorry....doesn't matter.....you're one of the 47 million Americans who suffer without health care and we're going to force it down your throat whether you choose it or not.....because you're too stupid to take care of yourself.....

I heard on the radio today that the guv'mint could buy HC insurance for all the folks who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but too poor to afford it for less than 50 billion annually- a mere pittance compared to Obamacare. So its not about compassion with the Democrats- its about power. Very typical.

typical mindless liberal:
“The cost of health care is tipping family budgets over the edge,” the Rev. Virgil Bozeman, of the South Parish Congregational Church in Augusta, told demonstrators.”It’s important that we bring fairness back into health care, and that’s why we need a public option.”” http://www.truemajority.org/aggressiveprogressive/?p=252
What about high taxes tipping family budgets over the edge?

Contrary to the racist hate-mongering promoted by compassionless conservatives, and as the House Ways and Means Committee Section-by-Section Analysis explains (p.8), Section 246 entitled "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS" "prohibits anyone not lawfully present in the United States from obtaining affordability credits."
The bill clearly excludes undocumented immigrants from receiving federal funds to buy health insurance from either a private or government plan.
