Hello Dave,   
      
    JM>> did away with the social security, medicare, medicaid, and   
    JM>> the mandate that hospitals provide care in the ER even to   
    JM>> those  who can't pay.   
      
    BK>> IOW, die quietly. You just admitted to wanting the republican   
    BK>> plan I described.   
      
    JM>> The Republican "Plan" you describe?   
      
    JM>> Like I'm gonna believe you actually know what the Republican plan is.   
      
    LL>> Bob has it all wrong.  The Republican plan is NOT "Die Quietly".   
    LL>> It is "Die Quickly".   Preferably also quietly, but most importantly   
    LL>> quickly.  That is the essence of what "compassionate conservatives"   
    LL>> are all about.  Conservatives really do want to put a quick end to   
    LL>> po' folks' suffering...   
      
   DD>Actually both you and Bob are correct. Die quickly - so you don't   
   DD>suck up any more resources than necessary and the right can increase   
   DD>their pile without spending an extra farthing maintaining you in your   
   DD>dying days. And die quietly so your mewling do not disturb their   
   DD>roseate vision of our life as they wish it to be.   
      
   Well, look on the bright side - you can only die once.
