Bush objects on philosophical grounds that saving children from disease and death is wrong. He will not spend a dime. Yet in Iraq he will spend billions killing human beings, even children whose only mistake is getting in the way. George Bush, the architect-of-death, sleeps good at night while the children call out in pain and suffering. Why do we tolerate this monster and his henchmen, the republican enablers. This means you, Kay Bailey Huchinson and John Cornyn.

on anything.  He does not know and does not care about the healthcare because  that is how  he was brought up.  A good- for -nothing drunk was cozied by a  wife- with -history and catapulted into  greasy politics.  He  is mad.  But those who put him there are not mad at all.  They know that he is  an ideal case  of promoter who  would promote anything, no questions asked. Here some commenters  say that ' Bush spends billions on Iraq'. Nope. We spend billions. Our Congress authorises the money.  Bush is just a patsie.  But he is our patsie. If,say  there were no guests on the official White House dinners as a protest  against Iraqi carnage, or if Oprah, the dearest would openly say that she would never invite Laura Bush on her show or if the White House press core stop going to those  idiotic briefings- then  we could complain. Otherwise... there is always ER.  Bush is  right:  everyone has access.

After 18 years as a paramedic, it is clear that the ED isn't free, taxpayers cover the cost.  That alone demonstrates how far departed from reality Little George is.  It further demonstrates utter contempt for taxpayers in that there is here an innate assumption that what ever it is, taxpayers can foot the bill.  I can't count the number of times I was called out late at night or early in the morning on what turned out to be something in the realm of clinical medicine, though in the eyes of the patient, was emergent.  A sort of dox in the box arrangement.  But one other thing is abundently clear Doctor, i've been visited twice by the Secret Service, Little George's Mukhabarat, for threatening that low life bastard.  Further, IF the day ever comes, and i'm confident it won't, where chickenshit Americans get off their fat pasty asses and TAKE little George and his playmates down, which it IS their right to do, I'll be among the first to pick up a weapon and ride out.  Will you?

Emergency rooms will stabilize someone, but they don't provide treatment. They provide referrals to (nonexistent) "personal physicians" and prescriptions which the poor can't afford to fill.

 My stepdaughter was in an accident and broke her neck. They provided a stabilizing collar and the name of a doctor she should make an appointment with. Of course that doctor would not see her without insurance, so she has essentially had her neck broken and healed without any medical intervention, the result being constant, debilitating pain.

 Our system is entirely broken and I, too, wanted to throw up when I heard the fool who passes for president suggesting the emergency room for medical care. My contempt for him grows with his every utterance.

Bush proudly asserts that he is guided by God in what he does as president.  When someone does not want to accept reality/facts/science because they conflict with what they want to do they creat fictions; Bush is clinically delusional.  His professed belief in God makes a mockery of all religions and really puts Bush squarely in the camp of the insane muslims determined to kill and destroy whatever they oppose.  So Bush has no problem denying health care to American children, nor killing and maiming thousands and thousands of both American and Iraq citizens.  Nor does Bush have any problem in destroying all kinds of federal programs intended to protect the health and safety of Americans -- from protecting our food supply, our ports, our prescription drugs, and our borders.  Apparently Bush's God has not yet been able to communicate that respecting and honoring life means a whole lot more than being against abortions.  We need a constitutional amendment that provides a mechanism for removing an insane president; clearly relying on impeachment is insufficient.

Thousands of dead Iraqi children at the hands of Bush's war.  Anyone that thinks Bush cares about children in the U.S. is full of it. 

Being born on American soil isn't a reason not to fear this killer.  What comes around goes around.  I think an attack on America is coming soon because Bush's approval rating is so low and Bush needs to get the American people to rally behind and attack on Iran next!

Why not cut the uncooperative politicians out of the equation?

If enough physicians just provided their services for free,  the lack of insurance wouldn't be a problem
