    Then you should LEAVE. Now. If you pay for medical insurance right now, you are paying for other people's sickness. If you don't pay insurance and are paying cash, you are still paying for other people's sickness through inflated costs.

    It's almost like you don't understand basic concepts of insurance and health care costs.
    Thank you for your input. :smile:

    The more I see your poast the more it pisses me off. When in thee fuck did we decide we're giving up on being the shining city on the hill? (Miss you Ron)

    I accuse @TierbsHsotBoobs of being dogmatic. Well so am I. And my dogma is America. Not micro aggression American but of country of men and ideas. A country that buttfucked the world empire with Hawkins rifles.

    Not a country of apologists and well wishes and non-intervention. We were destined to be leaders. Embrace it

    If we wanted to, we could be the Imperials. We've got lawyers guns and money. But we're too good for that. Because. This is the greatest country ever. It sucks. But it sucks a lot less than the rest of the bastards.

    Fuck off, NMBE, DIAF, Thank me for my service.

    *too
    Then why is everyone wanting us to follow socialist practices for medical insurance?

    Sounds like you prefer entities with a profit motive to make health care decisions for you. Have you ever known anyone who got sick and their insurance pulled? Or the insurance company denied a necessary surgery because it costs too much?

    I'm not in favor of government overegulation. But there are some things the government need to step in.
    Have you ever considered that everything has a cost, and that allowing people to be free allows for equilibrium spending for services? It's often times extremely expensive to give somebody a slight extension of their life, and as horrible as it might sound, sometimes it's really not worth it.

    There is no magic formula to make everyone happy. If a doctor came up to me and said "Mr bender123, you have ________, and you're going to die in 3 months unless we perform this surgery on you which costs $400,000. And if you do have the surgery, you're probably only gonna live for another 3 years." I'd say it probably isn't worth it. If I had the money, sure I'd pay it. But I wouldn't sit there and cry about how everyone else should be forced to chip in to give me a slight life extension.

    Government is already a huge reason why everything costs so much. Shortage of doctors, for example. That's inflating the salary of doctors, and costing everyone money when they want to see one. What's preventing the country from having a steady supply? Regulations. You can't just start practicing medicine, you've got to go through a whole bunch of shit, have enough money to pay for the excess barriers to business, and be approved by a board of existing doctors who have an incentive to keep the supply short. For example, there are a lot of perfectly qualified and experienced doctors who could start practicing, but we don't let them because they can't get residency acceptance due to having been educated in other parts of the world. Fucked up.

    You didn't answer my questions. But I'll ask you this additional question. What is your proposed solution then?

    Do you think it may be related to the diets and the failure of the FDA to allow giants such as Conagra to provide cheap, instant blood sugar spiking foods to the masses... Just maybe???

    Since the FDA has done such a bang up job with the regulation of our food. I'm sure the Federal Government would do even better at further control of health care.

    Every Looberal says so.
    So then, maybe we should do something about corporate lobbying and the round robin between corporations and regulating agencies.

    It is fucking hilarious how people want to blame the gov't while ignoring the corporate lobbying that controls the gov't.

    So the government is the victim? Got it
    Actually, no, you don't get it. At. All.
