Why do Republicans think the purpose of government is to turn a profit?Why do Republicans think the purpose of government is to turn a profit?
They don't. They use that as an excuse to decimate the safety net that helped make America great

OohPah - I'm not trying to defend the Republicans; I don't like the Republicans and I think they're just as crony and crooked as the Democrats.
I agree - The 'ObamaCare' model was first implemented by Mitt Romney when he was Governor of Massachusetts (implemented in 1 state).
But who was the guy that implemented this same structure in 50 states?
No one person implemented it.
What it is called is irrelevant. If I called you a carrot would that make you a carrot?It's freaking called "OBAMAcare"
OohPah - I think 99% of the American people would agree Obama was central in Obamacare getting passed. I realize - obviously - a lot of individuals were involved in the bill, but it was Obama who used his power as President to get this initiative pushed through.
Once again, are you saying that Obama wasn't central in the creation of Obamacare?
And for the fourth time, what about Obama's appointment of Monsanto VPs to the FDA, and the signing of an act that absolves Monsanto of all liability for health issues that arise from their products?
I just want to see if you're capable of a non-biased assessment of our President.

And the definition of "non-biased" assessment is, I take it, one that agrees with yours?
So government profiting off of its citizens is good?
who says it has to be off their citizens? that's a liberal mentality
Who else would they profit off of?
Obfuscation....The GOP was 100% shut out of all ACA negotiations. And that has ZERO to do with who helped to draft the bill.Obamacare? This bill was drafted (in large part) by some gigantic capitalistic Pharmaceutical companies, something that I consider to be a heavy conflict of interests. Thanks to Obama, we now have no choice but to contribute to the already gigantic profit margins of these companies via government mandate. There was even a law that was included in the bill that will limit United States residents ability to obtain cheap medicine from Canada over safety concerns (as if were stupid enough to believe it has nothing to do with the fact that the Pharm companies can charge 16x the price in the United States).
It was the Republicans that blocked the public option proposal by Obama. Obamacare was thought of by Mitt Romney, you should thank him instead.

Pharmaceutical Companies and Insurance Companies as well as several medical corporations had a hand in drafting ACA.

The Republicans didn't want to be a part of any health care proposal by Obama. They shut themselves out.
Republican staff members had secretly set up a video camera outside the committee room. The camera captured a stream of Democrats leaving through a side door of the very committee room they were scheduled to be in calling into question Democrats' claim that a scheduling conflict involving another committee meeting prevented their attendance.
On Tuesday, the committee's Democrats let the Republicans know that their keys wouldn't work in the hearing room anymore. They'd had the locks changed.

Liar.Obamacare? This bill was drafted (in large part) by some gigantic – capitalistic – Pharmaceutical companies, something that I consider to be a heavy conflict of interests. Thanks to Obama, we now have no choice but to contribute to the already gigantic profit margins of these companies via government mandate. There was even a law that was included in the bill that will limit United States resident’s ability to obtain cheap medicine from Canada over “safety concerns” (as if we’re stupid enough to believe it has nothing to do with the fact that the Pharm companies can charge 16x the price in the United States).

You said they were locked out of discussions about the health bill. Your link does not mention the health bill. Try again.

Perhaps this article makes it a bit more clear for you. C-span (a well respected, non-biased institution) is basically making a plea to the Democrats that they quit converging in secret meetings regarding the Healthcare discussion, and bring things out into the open (given that the discussions will affect the lives of all Americans).
Why do you think they were being so secretive?
