No, it's not. It's lacking the "general" part. The rich and others who elect to choose premium health care plans will actually be penalized for it, as will people who would rather opt out. Finally, young people will not be receiving equal consideration because they do not get sick as often. So, it's yet another ponzi scheme that counts on lots of money coming into the bottom of the pyramid. Let's not keep giving our government the power to take from others so that we can get some "free" stuff.
The new law prevents discrimination from health insurers and employers
... but not Congress. And once the public option is shoved through however Nancy Pelosi sees fit, most of us will finally be subject to the eugenic dream of the progressives.
In my opinion, DOOM was a good game but it wasn't ground breaking in the same way that Quake was a few years later. It was the first FPS to do real 3D, and gave birth to real FPS competitive play, based on the groundwork that DOOM did with FPS LAN play.
FPS LAN play is the reason why Doom WAS groundbreaking.
How do you expect to "fix" HTML to provide advanced features after we've gotten rid of javascript, Flash, and Silverlight? And what does CSS have to do with reading your history and scanning your ports?
I can guarantee that in that world, most species of whale would be extinct, and environmentalists would be complaining that the rain forests were almost entirely gone because they'd been cut down to grow soybeans and corn.
I wonder why all the dictators of countries with socialized health care (and Canadian celebrities) come to the 37th ranked USA for treatment. Why not Sweden?
JFK, Reagan, and W all lowered taxes. The economy boomed, and tax revenues went up. Under Clinton, it's a little less obvious, but when taxes were hiked in 1993, the economy still grew. However, the 1997 tax cut resulted in a sudden two and a half year boom.
Presidents under which taxes were raised? FDR, G. H. W. Bush, and Carter. How did those economies do?
In the US at least, knowing a lot about ANYTHING makes you a nerd, a social outcast, the non-cool guy. Ask a coworker how their boiler works, or how to change their oil. Ask them how to chainsaw a tree. Ask them how to wire a switch, or pull a shot of espresso. Most will look at you like you showed them dirty pictures - "What? Me? Do actual labor?
Maybe you should stop hanging out with lazy people. I wouldn't call someone who's handy a "nerd". Even if that was nerdy, what's it to ya? I'm saving a lot of money doing it myself.
You left out the part where you can sue your insurance company. What do you do when a bureaucrat who was appointed by another guy you didn't elect refuses treatment? You die before anything is done.
You can be taxed for having a plan that's too good-- unless you're in a union, of course. How is that going to result in better health care for everyone?
You can ignore socialized health care? Don't buy a plan, or fail to pay the fine for not having coverage (or having coverage that is TOO GOOD and not be in a union), and let me know how it turns out.
What you're saying, then, is that prison should be a good deterrent to them becoming a repeat offender. Unless they're severely mentally retarded, in which case they shouldn't be there in the first place.
Both of you are retarded. Clearly, it's ignorant to claim that all prisoners cannot be rehabilitated, but claiming that prisons should be resorts because some are not guilty, or just what YOU consider "not guilty", is foolish.
You sort of answered your own question, because it's mainly the antireligious who use capital-F "Fundamentalism" as a straw man in their attacks on cherry-picked negatives tied to Christians.

All we need are all of those new-fangled "CCTV camera" things and we would be just like the UK.
"My country's less oppressive than yours" is like a pissing match between imbeciles. We're both soaked.

A little late for Terri Schiavo.
The problem with the parking brake is that it is on the rear wheels, which physics dictates have far less stopping power than the front.

The 20th century progressives called; they want their eugenics back.
It was only a helicopter that A-10 pilot took, but it was awesome because it was with the 30mm CANNON.

Tax revenue increased in 2005 after the tax cuts, according to treas.gov.
SS is like Madoff; it's just that it's legal for the US federal government to do it.

Damn. *puts the fava beans and chianti away*

We should also create an agency to monitor ManBearPig. I'm serial about this.
Well, FDR and Wilson were socialists and they sent out Americans to kill people.

Crappy DM, I gather.
