Rand Paul on the Gulag
“So why not go for the biggest group of all and just have insurance for everybody?” Burnett asked.
“Socialism’s not a good idea,” Paul responded. “Socialism’s an utter failure.”
He then pointed out the problems in Venezuela, a socialist nation that is currently suffering an economic collapse.
“But you did just make a great argument for nationalized health care,” Burnett said. “You said ‘the bigger the group, the lower the cost,’ so all I’m taking is your argument to its logical conclusion.”
Paul wanted nothing to do with that one.
“I was talking about voluntary groups,” he said. “Not the gulag.”

Paging Mr Donkey.
Suggesting a pooled group of individual insured's, is just like what employers would offer. It would give those like you, that despite the extra hours on the fry stand, that don't work full time, some purchasing power when shopping for insurance.
It's not Socialism. -

Kinda like what Obamacare did by requiring employers over 50 FTEs to provide insurance? But you called that socialism too.salemcoog said:Paging Mr Donkey.

None of those employees are compelled to work for Amazon or Boeing. They dig the high paychecks, titles, stock options, pensions, whatever.2001400ex said:

In turn, they put up with a tolerable amount of shit. When the shit they don't like outweighs the benefit of the shit they do like, they can fucking LEAVE! whenever they want.
And if they want to bitch too much about the shit they don't like without recognizing the shit the company does give them, the company tells them to LEAVE!.
