This is a small victory for conservatives.
However, the health care bill has been brought up many times over the years. This is not the last time a health care reform will be brought up. This is only first major time that something has been discussed. Most other industrialized nations in the world already have systems such as this one.
Health care is a human rights issue. Every human should have the right to the same medical treatments as the next. I have discussed this with a conservative friend of mine and just like every other human rights issue the battle has already been won; it's only a matter of time. America will have a nationalized health care system at some point in time. It's simply the right thing to do. Even if you do not support the issue everyone here knows deep down that it's going to happen. Just like gay couples will have the right to marry. It's only a matter of time. If you are fighting the cause then you a fighting a losing battle.
Not only is it a matter of time till these issues are passed into policy; at some point in time everybody who fought against them will be seen as intolerant. Mark my words I am telling you the truth. It may take years, but it's going to happen.
You may have won the battle but you have not won the war. This story has already been written.

Just for the record, healthcare is not a right... That's laughable.

The thing is, this ineffectual Democrat Congress has been frantically ramrodding shoddy, half-baked, unconstitutional and positively socialist legislation into law in order to give "The First Black POTUS" some sort of legacy of "change"... Except it's not change, it's business as usual for the Lefty Libs in Congress.
That's why Obama's approval numbers are plummeting as fast as those of the Democrat-controlled Congress. The honeymoon is over, the groom has gonorrhea, and everyone is seeing this administration and Congress for what they are... Arrogant, lying thieves who are COMPLETELY out-of-touch with the will of the American People.
The Libs worked themselves into this position and they deserve what's coming to them.
Wake up and smell the coffee, Libs, because we're about to pour a whole steaming cupful on your balls in November.

Well that was said with panache and eloquence.
Hey Doc, do I have the right to someone else's job?
How about his house, car, land, life, body parts, labor?
Of course this is rhetorical.
You unknowledgeable(ignorant) people have to wake up and smell the slavery. What was the rule like back in the day of Pharoah? You had God Emporer class, their military and acolytes. Does this sound familiar to you ignorant people?
One day soon, it will be decided by the ruling class that everything will be owned by the elite. You, by their graces, are allowed to live. By their graces alone.
Do you understand that? When they need your heart to survive, the person that matches their DNA makeup, goes to the hospital, not to return.
What is better than for the greater good?
People here are really beginning to **** me off. You do not have the right to anyone else's labor. This is leading us to the end.
Rant complete, thanks Doc for getting me to unload; AGAIN!

Janky, I agree with a lot of what Doc is saying.
That does not mean I agree or even that Doc agrees with corporatism.
We have to work together, don't we?
Hell, I even think whatukno is warming up to me.

Very well said Janky.
You know I would enjoy a REAL leftist Utopia.
That cannot happen and will not happen. The corrupt are too powerfully entrenched.
Even the great experiment of the US, has come to corruption and decay.
I still go back to the collectivism vs individualism argument. Their can be no collectivism that is fair and balanced til we reach a higher level of knowledge or being.
That is why I have to stick with my individualism philosophy until the Animals in power can be removed or contained.
Always love your viewpoint.
God Bless and Peace.
