Mitt's national healthcare plan is the ER

Mitt's national campaign had to clear up Mitt's comment during the first presidential debate on pre existing conditions. Under President Obama's healthcare law insurance companies could not discriminate against people with pre existing conditions. However Mitt would "repeal" the Affordable Care Act. What about pre existing conditions of the patient? Well, it would be up to states to hold insurance companies accountable. So this fits neatly into the ideology of the Republican party: 1). The role of federal government is diminished. 2). States rights means that each state acts alone. 3). There is no role for the federal government in a individual's healthcare "choice". 4). Corporations are left to make business decisions that would affect their bottom line without the "interference" of federal government. What about the the other salient features of Obamacare(s)? Mitt and his Republican party would let insurance companies cap expenses. Parents could not kept their children insured until age 26. Insurance companies would not be required to spend 80 percent of premiums on patient care. In essence the Republican plan would be: Our national healthcare plan is the ER for all. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/10/top-romney-adviser-states-will-have-to-cover-people-with-pre-existing-conditions-under-president-rom.php?ref=fpb

Jack Kirby Thoughts | Zub Tales

Jack Kirby is the best because he created worlds from which others could build upon.  Look at Marvel and see what it would be without his creations.  Look at DC and imagine what it would be without his cosmological framework.  Think of the independent worlds of the Eternals and others he created on his work with independent comic book publishers that many people still enjoy to read.

Romney Campaign Clarifies Candidate’s Meet The Press Comments On Pre-Existing Conditions | TPM2012

The ultimate goal is to do away with government's ability to help those in need by Republicans.  Their vision for America is a America that looks like the Robber Baron era.  Where the rich steal the work of the workers without just compensation.  Where the cry for justice is brutally repressed by the organs of private security firms and police departments in the pay of the 1%.

The America that Republicans want is not we, the people, want.  Must we redo the basic inhumanity of 19th Century again?

Daily Kos: The Pujo Committee and today's Banker's Senate Committee

Daily Kos: The Pujo Committee and today's Banker's Senate Committee

Nothing tells the American people that corporatism trumps democracy like Senators showering JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon with praise after Dimon wastes billions of investor dollars in a Rube Goldberg fraud.

Occupy Wall Street then let those Wall Street banksters face frontier justice.
