So true. Electric powered cars would be great.

So, what is this topic

This topic is, as the title suggests, a place to post interesting facts. I know that we've been trailing off in discussion of the facts, so if it bothers you I could split the off-topic posts into a new topic of their own.

Thats totally okay

Idealists? Yes. GOOD Idealists, not stupid ones who love taxes... They want to get more and more money to spend on unnessecary things. Healthcare included. Give us your life and we will give you healthcare. I don't want to be like Canada where they spend a fortune on Health care. Yes, it is important, but the way that Obama and others go about it is wrong. We want to be diferent and great, not like Canada.

I think that a lot of people are getting the wrong idea about Obama's health care plan. It isn't identical to the Canadian health care system. In fact, it's very different. But when everyone hears the term "social health care," they don't listen to another word and become relentlessly opposed to the idea. That's the problem with the people in our country today: they only hear what they want to hear and, if they don't like what they hear at first, they simply give up listening to the rest of it.

I blame the fear-mongering media (I'm look at you Fox & ABC).

Of course it is, but how different? Not that much. He is also screwing adults over the age of 50 or 55 (somewhere around there) in his healthcare plan.

How? And if you're going to use the 'Death Panel OMFG' argument, join the hysteria train.

Hey guys, I believe this was the "Little Facts to Know and Share..." thread, not the "Heated Debate Over Healthcare" thread.
