Typical Tex. Makes a woman get behind him in line.

This question prompted a good discussion between wife and I, and I've been thinking about it a lot.

I don't have a good argument against Obama's answer: "in a country as advanced and wealthy as ours, it should be a right."

I think we need to maybe redefine a very basic, bottom line health care plan that is probably fraction the cost of Medicaid/Medicare and make it available universally. It will be free (or subsidized based on income level) but it will be a real PITA to use and you don't get anything that could even be considered elective.

Now be fair. I'm sure the guys'll let me to the front of the line as soon as I slip into my tightest pencil skirt, pile my hair on top of my head, smile, wink, and act all mavericky. Doggonnit, you betcha they will.

Ooo....see it ain't sooo, barbaragordon.

Tex made a fatal error in telling you to get to the back of the bus....he shows that just below the surface is a guy who wants all women to stay in the kitchen or in the bedroom.

Tex is not ready for a meeavrick like you.

Nope.

Equal rights comes with equal treatment. Back of the line, you.

I do.... Because morally its wrong to make someone work (a physician) for what some consider as the good of the people. In short one citizen becomes a slave for another's so called "right". What then else becomes a right? Does everyone have a right to job? Does everyone have a right to a higher education? Does everyone have a right to Lawyer (not just criminal cases)?

Am I that far out of the times today?

Next, you're going to tell me that my kids can't play dodge ball.
