Would Benajamin Franklin be one of the frontline founders of this country? Would we consider him the embodiment of our ideals? Did he say anything about public healthcare?

No response? Hmm....let me lead you a little bit, test your desire for actual facts. Try looking up his speech to the Pennsylvania Assembly regarding the Penn Hospital. You'll see exactly what our founding fathers thought...and then you'll have to come up with something else to stand behind when you are acting as pawns for an insurance industry that serves no purpose and waits to pick you off by cutting off your coverage when you need it.

texasbeta, Once again I'll be your Huckleberry, little fish.
You make the same arguments many social conservatives (with whom I often disagree)make, that everything the founders said or wrote has to be taken into account.
Well, the TEA Party movment is about a document, very specific words written on a piece of paper, it is the blueprint for our federal government, the employee handbook for those we elect to work for us, and it is the law of the land. We are not a "Cult of Personality" for that you will have to go sip chablis and munch agrulla with your leftist buddies.
One of the things that made the founders great is the fact that despite having strong personal feelings on a number of things like your reference to Franklin and numerous religious quotes by many of them, they specifically kept those personal feelings out of the Constitution.
Why are you so afraid?

Gotcha...what about amendments? Are you for amendments or a state's-rights approach? If you are for the state's-rights approach, then would the tea party people be in favor of the Confederacy during the Civil War and for the support of the Strom Thurman "state's right's" move to hold onto segregation? Is segregation a state issue? Just curious

Little Fish, how childish can you get? Please point out where in my post I expressed exception to amendments? Hell, the bill of rights are amendments.
Do you want to discuss what I posted or what you wanted me to post? Stop with the strawmen and faux race baiting. You don't know s__t about the tea party movement
Why do you think the taxpayers somehow owe it to you to pay for your insurance?

Texasbeta, Our beloved forefather, Mr. Franklin also said; "When people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic."

How people can be so clueless is beyond me. Right now, as it stands, people who don't have health insurance go to the emergency room for standard treatment, which charges the highest costs for the worst care, and you for that currently. Exactly how do you think it works? Do you think you aren't paying for them now?
