I worked three jobs for 5 years when my youngest was born. 50 hours a week full time job, 15-20 hours partime at night and 12 hours on weeks ends to build a downpayment on a townhouse.

I never whined about my economic condition in my middle 20's to earrly 30's but worked hard trying to get ahead

Unfo/rtunately hard work does not mean success. Now because of an illness which affects jobs related to my occupation is not doable. Thus I am on fulltime disability and spending more money at Mayo Clinic to look for solutions so I can earn a full and equitable salary doing what I did well/ BCBS and Medicare will cover maybe 60% of the workup they will do. Thank goodness I can go to testing as an outpatient and not have to foot hospitallroom bill.

In conclusion a generic comment about people whining does not always hold water. I worked thru my illness for over 13 years before insurance denied coverage on a med that allowed me to work so the insurance company for meds ccould make more money.The insurance comoany who was paid premiums for LTD insurance denied coverage after acceptig my monry. I won an appeal just to have them cancel coverage less than a year later. All in the name of profits.

I have taken the issue to court in October 2011 and am no closer to a settlement or re-instatement of benefis that were paid for. The fairness of big business will large law firms who are great at delaying cases with non-sense legal briefs which take a min a 30 days to get thru docket. With holidays coming my case will be idle untill 2nd week in Janary. Big business and government. Grin and bear it.

I of course was speaking of able bodied workers.

May the rich get richer and may the poor suffer.

Because you refuse to answer my post I will assume you think my tax plan is unfair , if you do ,would you be in favor of a flat tax where every body from the poorest to the riches pays , this is the fairest?

I'm sorry to hear this sad news. This can happen to anyone at any given time.

Pretty funny.

We won't be laauging in the 2013 tax year where the Average American will probably pay an additional $3500 im Fed taxes, unless our fearless leader and the House can sharpen their pencils andd look for savings in the budget and close looholes.

They wouldn't suffer if they stopped whining and got a job! Two jobs pay more than one,you just have to work longer.Then you wouldn't suffer.

A doctor from Israel says:
"In Israel the medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles; we put them into another man, and in 6 weeks he is looking for work."
The German doctor comments:
"That's nothing, in Germany we
take part of the brain out of a person;
we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."
A Russian doctor says:
"That's nothing either. In Russia we
take out half of the heart from a person; we put it into another person's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."
The U.S. doctor answers immediately:
"That's nothing my colleagues,
you are way behind us....in the USA , about 4 years ago, we grabbed a person from Kenya with no brains, no heart, and no balls....we made him President of the United States , and now.......
the whole country is looking for work.

Debate ended.Democratic plan exposed as worthless. Robbing from the good workers to pay for the non working never works.

Nobody will be getting healthcare by the end of 2014 anyways. By that time he will have added another 3 or more trillion to the debt and everything he passed (forced passed) will go into effect in the next 2 years causing us to be the next Greece. Non of the people will be covered and all the people who are covered now will loose their coverage and for that matter everything they have and lived and worked for.
