    Obamacare is a shitty product, but acting like the Republicans have taken the high road on healthcare is so fucking laughable that I'm not even going to go into it. Look back to the Bush-era prescription drug handout for a little taste.

    Pass single payer and raise the tax ceiling for fucks sake and join the rest of the civilized world.

    Is cute how nearly every part of your life is traxed yet you think more needs to be paid.
    It is sad that you think money paid for health services is evil if it is paid via taxes instead of through insurance premiums, even if the total amount spent is lower by removing the insurance company profit.

    Imagine actually believing that the government can provide services more efficiently than the free market, because "pr0fit!!!111!!"...lol profit is the reason WHY it's more efficient.

    This was the plan from the get go. The administration knew they couldn't get a single payer system passed, so they came up with a system that would be sure to fail. Once it fails, single payer will be the only option. Pretty sick if you ask me.

    Pretty much every other advanced country has single payer or some kind of similar "evil" socialized medicine
    And America had a system where if you had money or a good job you could get the best care in the world when you wanted it. With or without insurance.

    I get cash discounts but that motherfucker Obama takes it out of my pocket at the end of the year

    Leave the death panels and waiting lists for our Veterans. Thank you for your service now die
    Chincredibled purely for quality of rhetoric.

    ^ Yup.

    "What if I don't pay into universal health services?"

    "We fine you."

    "What if I don't pay the fine?"

    "We send the police to your house to arrest you."

    "What if I don't wish to be arrested, and therefore resist?"

    "The police will kill you."

    "So if I don't pay into universal health services, I will be killed? Isn't that...unethical?"

    "Nope. It's perfectly ethical to point a gun at a harmless, innocent person and force them to do things."

    The ends justify the means comrade!

    Not always the case with insurers, who eat up close to 70% of every dollar on overhead before paying claims. While I'm a free-market capitalist 'til the end, insurance companies are the closest things to government bureaucracies the private sector has. And many laws mandate that we buy their product. So, not the best example of private vs government provided product or service.

    That's what faggot liberals like to say. But what they completely ignore is the fact that the means are ends.
