The hypocrite questionnaire (premium, Obama, abortions, dollar)

[Feel The Love]

How many of you Republicans plan on using the successful socialized program, Medicare, when you reach your golden years?

[Bmateo]

Geez, you were easy on them. I figured you were going to ask, of the republicans that object to the UHC because it <MIGHT> fund abortion (which is hypothetical at best), how many are voluntarily participating a private plan that covers abortions now?

Because it's my understanding that in excess of 90% of current private plans do have some form of coverage for abortion. I respect anyone's opinion to oppose abortion, but I would have to say they are a hypocrite if they are voluntarily paying into a private plan that covers it, whilst (from the other side of their mouth) saying that the won't support a UHC that covers it.

Kinda makes it seem like another political talking point, and kinda eats away at their credibility.


(I did not answer the poll, as it was not directed at me.)

Can't vote ......I am on it.
Give me all the premiums back that were taken plus a reasonable amount of interest I might have gotten on that money .....change the restriction that disallows a private company from being my primary and I'd have been happy to continue with the last private company we were with.

We're paying into social security and very likely won't see much or any of what we're promised. That money was raided and stolen and nobody is offering to put it back. If they could put back every surplus dollar they took, with interest, it would be solvent for years to come. But we'd have to make up that money by drastcially cutting spending and all we're doing now is increasing spending insanely. Obama is outbushing Bush and none of his supporters gives a rats***. That's hypocrisy.
