"You're an out of work heroin addict who is suffering from hepatitis and HIV due to using dirty needles? NEXT!!"

This country needs to stop helping those who refuse to help themselves.
The current approach to reform makes me sick. (Lame pun intended)

This sounds a little harsh to even me. Sounds almost like a "Death Panel". Are you advocating for the provision that you are arguing was never in the bill?
