Sounds dramatic doesn't it? Well, first of all it is only 17% of the population. Is it worth ruining the future of the country for solving a problem for 17% of the people when there are far greater problems?
So, here is the real breakdown:
20 million are above average income and choose not to buy insurance.
14 million are poor and eligible for Medicaid
8 million are illegal aliens
That leaves 5 million that are truly without health insurance. That is only 1.8% of the population.

Butch the Rooster
John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets" and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs.
The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, and a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!
John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John's amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the Boone County Fair and Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result... The judges not only awarded Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?

I.O.U.S.A. America on the Brink of Financial Crisis
I saw David Walker, one of the authors of the movie IOUSA, speak at the Financial Planning Association's annual conference in Anaheim last Sunday. You need to pay attention to this man and wake up to the impending financial doom coming your way. The politicians you elected last November don't get it. They are taking this country down the tubes to further their ideological agenda. Rent the move and watch it. Then give it to a friend or enemy.

The Goal in Afganistan
Yesterday the Obama administration in the persons of Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates stated that the goal in Afganistan is to disrupt al Qaeda. You might ask why Obama is not interested in defeating al Qaeda. Usually in war the parties are looking towards defeating the opposing side. Certainly, al Qaeda is looking to defeat and bring about the destruction of the west and in particular the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the true color of liberals. They don't want to hurt our enemies. They want to make nice to enemies. They think that they can negotiate with tryants and have us all just get along. This enemy will kill you just because you are American. If you happen to be Jewish-American they will cut your head off. Christian-Americans just get shot in the head. You don't have to be a combatant, journalists and ordinary citizens are targets for these tryants. But, your president just wants to make nice to them and hope that they will all of a sudden be nice to us after thousands of years of holding a grudge.
Will you speak out for the safety and security of your fellow Americans? Even the liberals that don't have a clue?
