My good friend and contributor Pris commented Monday morning to Ducky, our leftWINGer commenter. I say this only to make sure those of you who don't know Ducky will see why Pris has addressed him....This isn't about Ducky, it's simply a very good response to everyone who feels as he does, but the comments which inspired Pris are HERE. This is from Priscilla: Leftwingers used to want to take care of us "From Cradle to Grave", now they want to take care of us "From Abortion to Euthanasia" Good one, eh?You think Pris is right? I sure do. (Thanks, Priscilla..as always, you hit it out of the park)

Here's how it worked on the medicareRX program, Ducky. Mr. Pris and I opposed that new spending program, and did not want to accept the medicareRX. We have a supplemental insurance policy as part of his retirement package, and we pay a little over half the cost of that supplement, the company pays the balance. Mr. Pris's former employer informed us we had to accept medicareRX or our supplemental insurance policy would be canceled. Period. See, Ducky? Short and sweet. Use it or lose it! Now, if you think if government healthcare goes into effect, that companies all over the country won't cancel their insurance coverage for employees and leave millions with no other option but government healthcare, you're either a dreamer, or downright stupid. Tort reform would be a good start in cutting costs. Funny, the administration has nixed that out of hand. In fact, cutting bureaucracy, not adding to it, would cut costs too. How you can consider a 1000 page bill full of layers of bureaucracy, a way to contain costs, is the insanity Ducky, not citizens who know they're being taken for a ride, big time! The biggest cost of all? Freedom of choice, autonomy of free citizens. I thought you lefties believed in freedom of choice, no? I guess that only applies to killing babies.
