Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

Yeah, it's been covered but my point is that we already have medicaid, medicare, workers' comp, and endless charity organizations that are ready and able to provide care for anyone that can't afford insurance. My experience was that medicaid was very easy to get post-accident; I don't know who wouldn't qualify that needed to (Obviously, if you're a degreed professional you can get off your wallet and buy your own insurance like I do now). My son's 8 surgeries (about $250K) were covered by private giving to Childrens Hospital (now my own charity of choice).
Given all that, there's no need to add more regulation, bureaucracies (and taxes) to provide more oversight of health care; as Red Cloud said: overkill. Anyone who needs health care can get it without any of the problems prevalent in more "progressive" systems that we hear about.
Works if you have a catastrophe but not if you have a run of the mill chronic illness. If you think anyone can get care if you want it~ you must've been born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I spend at least half of my day trying to finagle my treatment plans for under-insured folks who can't afford their meds, can't afford the tests and are getting sicker because of suboptimal treatment.

wow!

chris matthews wants to get the '12 GOP nomination to scott brown :eek: :eek: :eek:
I wonder what all those right wing fundies will think of the naked pics from yrs ago? Of all the things they sniped about that one was missed (shucks, I would have like to see the evidence:p )

Went to vote, had to stand in line at 2pm. I have never stood in line even at 'high volume times'. At the time it was snowing like crazy and there was no parking. They even had a policeman directing traffic.:eek:

I am going with D) none of the above. Not that I live in Mass.
 
Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

I'm an American!! I have a right to have the media call the race before the vote is in!! :rolleyes: :)
 
Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

why no exit polling?

Too expensive. Until just recently this was a 25 point Marcia blowout. The media consortium simply didn't think it was necessary. Evidently AP has done some, but very limited.
 
Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

Browns lead keeps going up:eek: :eek: :eek:
45% precincts 52 to 46 Brown

i went in at 1030a and was the only one there.

I still think Martha wins this by 1-2%. The commonwealth is so blue it is disgusting.

channel 5 just went to break with this tidbit: "with almost 30% in we see brown with a lead of over 30,000. however, sec of state galvin told us there there were over 100,000 absentee ballots requested. now whether all of those were cast or not, we don't know.... but they will need to be counted."

She's toast. Who's going to be the first to stick a fork in her on the national media?
 
Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

What is with all the :eek: :eek: ? Given how this campaign has gone the last few weeks and the poll results, no one should be surprised that he's leading, and will most likely win.

Exactly. Except in a state where one party literally controls everything, you can't comfortably rule out the possibility of some jiggery pokery. Plus, the cable channels have a vested interest in keeping the audience watching and that means keeping up the "suspense."
 
Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

nine days ago she had a 15 % lead. its Ted Kennedy's seat. its unbelievable.
 
Re: Hey Massachusetts! Coakley or Brown?

63% in according to Fox News.

53%-46% for Brown.


To big of a margin to cheat, even in the commonwealth. Hell to big of a margin to cheat even in Chicago.
