If you gave Bush a choice between killing an Iraqi or giving an American child insurance which would he choose

Question

Congress wants to expand a program that provided health care for poor children, and Republicans and the President are trying to kill it while asking where will the money come from? We are spending more that 2 billion a week in Iraq. How many kids would that insure? Why don't we ask where that money is coming from? (hint: We are borrowing it from China)

Answer 1

*lol* your question itself made me laugh because I can hear the incredible sarcasm of it all.

To me, Bush is an absolute disappointment. His "reign of terror" and the effect it's having on Americans today is simply incredible. We have the survivors of Katrina still without homes; or the funds promised to them by the President when he created the federal agency that was supposed to take care of that. Hundreds of mobile homes were sitting in lots -- UNUSED. The bureaucracy of it all is stunning. The man has no idea where his priorities SHOULD lie.

Simply put, I'm disgusted.

If the question of impeachment was ever raised for Clinton for perjury, Bush needs to be put on trial for MURDER and the lies & deceptions he's told the American people about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Even the politicians that are supposedly representing the American people make me sick. They'll sit there in their air conditioned offices and court rooms approving bullshit paperwork to get more young people killed and injured overseas, whereas the cost of education is going up due to lack of funding; children are without simple health care; the Medicare/Medicaid systems are a complete mess; and one of Bush's initial issues, Social Security, remains unresolved.

I can go on and on, but I will not....

Answer 2

Considering that the war in Iraq is totally bogus and to add insult to injury it's being financed at the expense of american childrenvthis entire situation stinks. Bush really should be impeach.....The wingers will ask on what charge. That's a legit question. The answer 'instigating an aggressive war'. Several high ranking Nazis after WW2 were tried and convicted on that charge. Maybe one of you folks can look this up....coming from me, a guy that has zero use for Bush and his posse it may sound like a lot of hooey.....but coming from an honest Bush supporter it may carry some weight.

Answer 3

I couldn't say it any better than Gary. I'm just amazed that your man was OK with moving so far away from them. I can only assume that the reason was his work , and that they reluctantly agreed to the move because it was in their boy's best interests. As Gary says, the one and only way to alleviate this problem, is to become best friends with the mother and sister. As hard as that might be, its the only way because these three are a tight unit which will never be broken. That is the one and only tactic that will work. In your situation I personally would not stick around - the thought of my life being decided by two other women who don't even like me.....the mind boggles. I couldn't stand it. Because you know it is not going to get any better, ever. Even if they both passed on, the apron strings will still be there, making him do things "because they would have wanted it ". Best wishes to you, and good luck.

Answer 4

Your congress wants health care for people up to the age of 24 years old. They can be married and have a family and still be covered as a child.

Bush don't kill Iraqi people, they doing a pretty good job of that on their own.

My question for you is this: Who is going to pay for this pie in the sky welfare/health care plan??? Nothing is free and either your a working person who, will probably be taxed to cover the cost, or your on welfare and are part of the problem.

Again, nothing is free, Freedom, Health care, Welfare checks and the list goes on. Do a little research and open your eyes and mind before opening your mouth.

Best example, look back to when the democrats raised the minimum wage. What did Mickey Dee's and Burger King do?? Raised the price of their food, so, who is paying for the increase??? Anyone who buys something, is paying more, to include those that got the raise so, they still lost because the cost of living went higher than their raise>

Answer 5

The kids? With all the money the Republicans are just throwing away on this war we could have given everyone in the US free health care for their lifetime; but of course helping our fellow Americans is unpatriotic (and the big corporations can't make any money off it either).

Answer 6

1.) He's too much of a coward to kill anyone. He proved that during the Vietnam war as did most of his Republicronies.
2.) He has no feelings or remorse so why would he care about insuring a child who isn't a child of a a wealthy corporate toady.

So...since he can't do either that leaves option

3.) HE WILL GO ON VACATION!!!

Answer 7

While I agree with the 2nd part of your question, I am not impressed with the original question.

We should not have ever been in Iraq and we didn't have to kill innocent Iraqi's!

The Republicans can always find the money to give to corporations and their rich friends, they can just never find it for the poor.

We almost Rank dead last in the industrial world in Infant morbidity and mortality, and just above Cuba in life expectancy. I think we are 26th or 27th. And we have more neonatologist, who are suppose solve most health problems of newborns. They are trained specifically to handle the most complex and high-risk situations. and pediatricians than every other country! Unfortunately, most poor people can't afford to see them!

macaroni, they are always turned away until they are knocking on heavens door! What planet do you live on. In California hospitals were dumping the sick poor on the streets and walking over peoples bodies for 45 minutes in an ER while she bleed to death. Take off the glasses.


LA Skid Row patient dumping alleged Wed Jun 27, 10:16 AM ET

LOS ANGELES - Prosecutors have filed civil complaints against two hospitals and a transportation service accusing them of dumping homeless patients in Skid Row,
including a paraplegic man found crawling in a gutter.

Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Feliz and Methodist Hospital in Arcadia were accused of dumping two patients each in the downtown area over 14 months. The four people were sent there not by informed choice and without any plan for followup medical care so that the hospitals could rid themselves of the expense of caring for them, the compaints said.

Empire Enterprises, whose van driver allegedly left paraplegic Gabino Olvera at a Skid Row park as spectators protested, was named as a coconspirator. Olvera,
54, was found wearing a soiled hospital gown and a colostomy bag.The complaints, filed Tuesday, seek fines against the hospitals and a court order banning the practice of dumping patients. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo
is trying to use a state law concerning unfair business practices against the hospitals.

Kaylor Shemberger, executive vice president CHA Health Systems, the parent company of Hollywood Presbyterian, issued a statement saying Olvera told the van
driver where to drop him off, against hospital policy.
"Following this incident, we instituted several new policies and intensified training to make sure nothing of the sort happens again," Shemberger said.

Methodist Hospital said its officials wanted to review the complaint before commenting.

Last year, the city's attorney's office filed false imprisonment and dependent care endangerment charges against Kaiser Permanente — the nation's largest nonprofit health maintenance organization after a patient from Kaiser
Permanente's Bellflower hospital was seen wandering Skid Row in a hospital gown.Kaiser Permanente agreed last month in a settlement with the city to institute new discharge rules, provide more training for employees and allow a former U.S. attorney to monitor its progress.
Hollywood Presbyterian later said it too would adopt the same discharge rules for homeless patients. Delgadillo said at the time that Hollywood Presbyterian's adoption of the rules would have little effect on any legal action by his
office.

Allegations that hospitals have dumped homeless patients in Skid Row have investigated by police and the city attorney's office for months.

Answer 8

American Children in need have insurance, and those who parents can afford it can buy it. If there is an emergency they are never turned away. Why are liberals such rocks on this issue?

Answer 9

1. Health care costs money, we're running low cuz of the war
2. Probably the insurance for the kid, but if its like the worst of the iraqis....

Answer 10

He would choose killing another Iraqi. Only because he cares little for the poor or children's health care for that matter.
