Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

It's getting hard to stay interested in polls these days. Spent a lot of time yesterday with some liberal friends, and tried to talk politics a bit. Most discussions came back to Bush being the worst president in history. The main thing that interests me these days is trying to understand the core differences in points of view or values that dictate one's positions on the issues. Maybe I'll start a couple of these threads again.

I'm kind of the opposite -- I'm interested more in the politics than the issues because at this point I think the issues have been talked about enough to know where everyone is coming from. Even if I disagree with an issue, I think for the most part I understand why people believe what they do.

So you believe that a single-payer, government run health care system would deliver more health care services than the current system can today? Approximately what percentage more?

I don't think this is an answerable question. I've said that I'm not happy with the legislation that was passed...I do fear that currently we have a lot of uninsured people. If health care reform in another manner could help curb that I'm willing to listen. I'm not convinced that what has been put forward by either side is what's best.

If I could see some stats that showed a significant number of people were being left to die with the old system, I'd be more inclined to agree with a sweeping change. Until then, I have a hard time believing that Obamacare will show that it is worth the 'investment". Seems like alot of money to receive similar results.
