One more uninformed dolt we can ignore.


LEt's just hope that the woefully uniformed don't fall for the propaganda spread by those wishing to hurt america's chance at health insurance relief.

We should have waited on healthcare until the recession ended.  Obama knows he has 1-1.5yrs to pass his leftist agenda, thats why he is pushing all these things so fast.

Anyone with any sense whatsoever understands that without a good economy you cant do health care.  Its a joke and only the hardcore partisans on the far left ignore this fact.

No they just look back in history and see all the shit FDR did when the country was in the the great depression and think they can pull the same thing. In reality WWII is what pulled this country out of it, not all FDR's programs.

I've waited 20+ years of lieberman's health care solution.  it never arrived.

Now, he arrives with talk of why obama's plan sucks.  There's still no lieberman plan, though.




The sink is shipping.  These guys don't have any plan for making it to shore, but they can't stop shitting on your rowboat idea.  there comes a point where america will support the best plan on the table.  For the repubs and lieberman, the plan is "leave everything how it is".  That's not working for more americans each day.

Their downfall, and the reason obama will win, is that they aren't doing anything but sitting on the counch whining.  no alternative, better plan.

No 240 - sometimes doing nothing is better than "something". 

Obama is not going to get what he wants without either a massive loss in 2010, or a complete re-write of the bill to not include the public option. 

Either way, he will look like a failure - to either his base, or to the inde's.

DOW is about to hit 10,000.  Stimulus seems to be working, eh?
We declared war in Iraq, our companies won the first oil bid, and our bases rock.

Sounds like the Bush White house quote of "doing nothing is not an option" was right on.  beside guys, FOX news told us you never question a president during war-time, remember?  You guys need to wait until the afghan war is over to critize obama.

240 - your nonsense knows no bounds.  This is not about Bush or Palin.  Your magical messiah won the presidency to fix the problems of Bush, and now when he turns out to be a complete flop, you resort to blaming Bush.  Ridiculous. 

You contradict yourself within your damn statement!

mahn, take a valium, i'm just having fun.

Bush was right about iraq, in the bigger sense.  we needed the bases, the oil was nice.  and the wars saved our asses in 2001 when ecnomy was about to drop following dotcom bust.

Maybe obama will be right.  ya gotta wait 8 yers to find out.

Hey Tony - do you have health insurance yet?

There's no rush right.  I mean if you wrap your car around a tree and can't afford to pay the bills (you can't even afford insurance) then you'll just get free health care from one of those govt programs you can't actually name and the rest who actually have insurance will absorb the cost by virtue of higher premiums.

Great Plan

Stupid choice on your part

Either that or you must be a secret communist because you know if you face a catastrophic event that you can't afford you know you will receive care and the rest of us will wind up paying for it with higher premiums

It didn't occur to Tony that b/c of his blatant irresponsible behavior - he choo-choo-chooses not have insurance - the public will have to pick up the cost of his next accident.

That's the law here in this country.  They treat people in emergencies.

I can see how that would get under Tony's skin, I mean we should just let unisured people in accidents die, including Tony.

That's what the market would bear out.

240 - you know what - some of us have pride in ourselves and choose not hav e our neighbor pay our way.  

Myself, I would die rather than take public assistance.  

Before I asked you to pay for my food stamps, I would take my ass up to the catskills and kill game for food.  Ill get a few deer, a few turkeys, etc and be fine.  

Some of us are not looking for others to take care of us.  But sadly 240 - over the last year you seem to have morphed into exactly what the govt wants, a lemming looking to Obama to pay for everything for everyone.

You bought into the hype hook line and sinker and will have your hand out as soon as anyone else.

Seriously?

If you're without health insurance, and you're bleeding, you wouldn't walk into (a free) ER visit?

You would bleed out on the sidewalk in front of the hospital instead of walking in and asking to 20 stitches you cannot afford?  

I find that hard to believe.

I have been responsible my whole life and have enough money to cover almost anything.  I went a few years without insurance and used the money for savings instead.  I now have a crap load of savings, health insurance, etc. 

Health inasurance is mostly based on fear.  Most young people never use it and never have to use it.  Of course there is a case and there, but its mostly a waste of money.

Yeah, but that is 2009.  Let's suppose it's 3 or 4 years from now, worst case scanario.  Economy takes a dump.  overhaul of $ system.  Your services are rendered obsolete and your savings are reduced to toilet paper.  You have bad luck, woman leaves you.  You catch a few lawsuits.  Slip and fall and break your hand, leg, arm, back, whatever.  You get rear ended in traffic and end up sustaining a head injury leaving you mentally screwed up.

I mean, most homeless guys out there weren't homeless 30 years ago, ye know?  There but for the grace of God goes any of us.

1.  My business has been steady since 2002, with ups and downs like anyone else.
2.  I diversify my assets so that if something goes down, someing else will probably go up.
3.  My girl is a divorce lawyer and has her own $$$.  Pre-nup in the works.  We both want one.  
4.  I carry malpractice insurance and have a general liability policy as well as disability and auto.  


I understand that you cant cover everything, but overall I have most of my bases covered.  I operate on what is most probable to happen, not some scare tactic designed to get me into a cadicalla policy I dont or wont use in most cases.

Tony - you can't get a job that covers your health care now and you're (I presume) healthly and able-bodied.

Do you really think if you're fucked up and in a wheel chair or hospital bed that it's going to be any easier.

Let's not forget the 50k in medical bills that you can't pay.

YOU are the perfect example of why we need a public option.  

Wouldn't you like to know that if you got in a horrible accident or were diagnosed with a brain tumor that you wouldn't be bankrupt or homeless (or having to depend on family/friends etc..).

I prefer the raped by freeloaders (was it?) and illegal immigrants option.  That's quite an option too.


For some reason, you seem to think that anyone helped out by the public option is out to stick it to you personally b/c they are choosing to live a life of poverty and unemployment and underinsurance.

To me, that's crazy talk.

Decker, where do you live?  Just wondering because people that live in big cities are probably more likely to carry your liberal views on government necessities.

Healthcare reform is necessary.  Its only a small minority that wants to leave the status quo.  The left keeps making this a democratic plan vs. do nothing, which is incorrect.  
IMO, it was more important to address other issues and to concentrate on the economy this year.  The economy has stabilized but its not much better than it was when Obama first took office, we still have a long way to go and now the mounting deficit is horrendous.  Healthcare should have been left for 2010.  Obama pushed it because he knows he has the most power in 2009.

I was in several small central Ohio towns this weekend and though things were more simple, the people seemed happier.  I like living near the city but there's something to that small town atmosphere.  One thing I didn't see were Obama/Biden stickers...anywhere.  People in small towns in general rely more on themselves, their families and friends.  They tolerate taxes to pay for local gov necessities.  That was the original philosophy of our founders.

I live in a small town and in Milwaukee.  I have dual addresses b/c of my job-my employer provides me with an apartment and I work from home several days out of the week.

What is the alternative plan to the public option?  

We have a couple of big insurance companies that control the health insurance industry.  There is no real competition.  Everything the right accuses UHC of being is true of private care - it rations care, it limits doctor choice and it regularly denies claims.  What they forget is that without the public programs of Medicare, Medicaid and VA care, there would be no affordable private care.  There's no money insuring old dying people and uninsurable sick folks.

Obama is doing what he has to do to pass this watered down public option for insurance.  I don't care for the plan but it's all we have at the moment.

Tony - you can't get a job that covers your health care now and you're (I presume) healthly and able-bodied.

Do you really think if you're fucked up and in a wheel chair or hospital bed that it's going to be any easier.

Let's not forget the 50k in medical bills that you can't pay.

YOU are the perfect example of why we need a public option.  

Wouldn't you like to know that if you got in a horrible accident or were diagnosed with a brain tumor that you wouldn't be bankrupt or homeless (or having to depend on family/friends etc..).

I went 5 years without insurance.  I have it now.    I had a disability policy for $600 a year that paid me $2500 a month in the event of an illness.  

During that time, I was able to put away a ton of $$$ in net savings, but a place for pennies on the dollar with a tiny mortgage, etc.  

Did I gamble?  Yes, but it was calculated gamble that paid off that i was well aware of.  

Health insurance is mostly based on scare tacticts but it is needed for those 35 yo and older.

sure you'd gambled and we all took the risk.  If you had a catastrophic illness or accident that disability policy wouldn't have done shit.

You would received health care and the cost would have been passed along to those who had insurance or the taxpayers in some other way.

Get a stafford loan and go back to school for your MBA.

best time to get an education is during a recession.  You're not gonna get a decent job in the crippled finance area for a while.  Why not spend that 2 years (while everything is recovering) getting the MBA?

Along the way, you'll see tons of opportunities and internships that you won't hear about in the outside world.  And if you do get a good job, you can stop school anytime then go back later.  hell, most employers (used to) pay their guys to get MBAs.

The % of catastrophic injury or illness may be small but if it happens it will be much much higher than what you get with your walk in clinic at CVS.

That is how you are passing the largest risk to to the rest of us

Energy, i really really want to get on as a real time energy trader and do that for a while I already have a degree but its in psych and worthless in the world of finance. There is a customer service rep position open in this one company I actually sat down and had coffee with the head of the acct department in that company about an internship but nothing came out of it. I was thinking even though it doesnt have any finance component to it at least its in the industry and maybe that would help out.

ya didn't ask for my opinion, but I'll share it anyway :)

Get a stafford loan and go back to school for your MBA.

best time to get an education is during a recession.  You're not gonna get a decent job in the crippled finance area for a while.  Why not spend that 2 years (while everything is recovering) getting the MBA?

Along the way, you'll see tons of opportunities and internships that you won't hear about in the outside world.  And if you do get a good job, you can stop school anytime then go back later.  hell, most employers (used to) pay their guys to get MBAs.

Hey Tony, do you have a huge savings acct or family members that are willing to go bankrupt paying for your healthcare.

You could pay ~ $500 a year for 5 years doing your walk in thing at CVS and then get into a horrible accident or have a brain tumor or cancer and then you'll get a bill for 50k, 100k or more.    You'll get health care and someone else will pay the bill

Do you get the math yet?

Thats cool Im open to all ideas

ya thats why im going back to school it will only take me a year to get my degree in finance and hopefully Ill be able to study for my GMAT's while doing so. That way I can take them and hopefully find a job that will pay for or at least assist in my MBA.

try to pay attention

The % of catastrophic injury or illness may be small but if it happens it will be much much higher than what you get with your walk in clinic at CVS.

That is how you are passing the largest risk to to the rest of us

Aren't you the guy who is trying to get a job in finance?
No you try and pay attention Im passing you the smallest risk b/c thats the only portion of the risk that you will be viable for. Yes that small portion of risk carries with it a higher value monetarily but its still the smallest portion of risk brain child.

God, are you really this dense.

It's not the % of occurance that's the issue but what it costs you when it does occur.

That's why you have insurance and that's the burden that you've chosen to pass on to the rest of us

It's really too bad their isn't some cheap (or free) public option available to you so you're not a potential burden on your family or society.

thats fine but im passing you the smallest portion of risk as far as occurance even though it may cost more it happens less frequently. Again a small % doesnt jusitify giving health care to all  ::) you gonna pay for my books or what? come on let your heart bleed just a tad bit more itll only cost you a grand or so...

risk of occurance and risk of ruin are two different things

how about the govt gives you 500 a year to go to CVS but if you have an illness over 500 a year you agree to pay for it all out of pocket with zero recourse for you

don't forget

you get 500 dollars a year for free

and you know you'll never have a serious medical problem

this is easy money

right?

yes they are seperate things straw but they are related my friend so there for their % can be linked in order for one to happen the first one must happen.
 
you know how to find the % of say getting a 3 digit number correct given each single digit has 10 possibilities?
you multiply 10x10x10 so 1/1000 chance

Id really like to see the % that leads to financial ruin...

wheres my book money? "is the check in the mail"?  ;)

have you ever sold nakes puts or calls (I haven't but that's the risk of occurance and risk of ruin you should think about)

you can walk outside tonight and get hit by a car

It's probably not likely to happen but if it does happen there is a good chance you could be facing some huge medical bills

this is the entire reason why we developed the concept of pooling risk

I could benefit from the govt giving me a million dollars as well doesnt mean its whats right.

Its not right to ask ppl to pay for others shit especially when there are other options available. Look if youre bed ridden or what have you fine we can cover that but in cases such as mine I should not be given free health care on your dime.

If you feel so charitable why not pay for my books this semester?

thats a worthy cause wouldnt you say, Ill probably pay over a grand this semester for books alone. Thats 2 grand a year in BOOKS ALONE MAN, lets start govt legislation to put a stop to the idiotic profits of text book companies or the rising cost of college tuition. That would benefit ppl who are actually trying to better themselves which would be a much better use of time imho.

I'd have no problem if the govt paid for your books or your health care

if they did I don't think either would cost as much as they do now (espcially health care)

the reason you don't have health care now is because you can't afford it

that's a problem

like you said you don't even use that much health care

you'd probably pay more in that you take out but if you had a catastrophe you'd also be covered

that's how the whole gig works

remember we agreed that you're willfully passing along the catastrophic risk to others

you don't have a job and I assume very limited income so you like to pretend you're making some choice

I have actually no income at the moment as Ive said Im unemployed but I do have money as I saved instead of going out and putting 20's etc. on my truck like alot of those idiots with no health care you want to finance.

how much do you pay for your insurance?

I tried to research a single coverage for one year and the premiums vary with different factors but it seems to be around $2000.00 a year in premiums as stated in this link
http://ohmygov.com/blogs/general_news/archive/2008/10/16/for-the-record-just-what-is-the-average-cost-of-health-care-insurance.aspx
that is a summary of this report
http://www.ahipresearch.org/pdfs/Individual_Market_Survey_December_2007.pdf

Now again I will spend over that in books alone for my year of college so dont tell me I cant afford it brain child its not worth it when I can simply find a job that will pay for it.

You're hilarious! Today, the fat ass welfare queens (gov programs) and the very rich (expensive insurance) are taken care of.

The people you want to punish are the poor slobs who work their asses off for meagre pay. Like the independent trucker who can't afford $600 a month for insurance, so when his wife gets cancer, basically there goes their tiny house, his rig, and everything else.

Or the admin assist who pays her premiums for 25 years, then is laid off. Her unemp benies give her $100 a month over the limit to get healthcare assistance. The stress gives her cancer and a heart attack, and $75,000 later, her house and savings are gone. She's worked and paid for 25 years, but too bad. Out on the street she goes. All to line the pockets of insurance execs.

The whole point behind the public option is so, like single payer countries, everyone is FORCED to pay for their OWN healthcare. That takes care of idiots who would rather go into their 40s and 50s, taking chances and spending their money on hookers and trucks. In single payer countries, as soon as you work, even if it's a small employer, you have to contribute to your own health. Part of it often comes from the VAT, so even fatass welfare queens contribute every time they purchase cigs or beer, or a plasma screen teevee.

You on the other hand, live off the taxpayer's dime in case of disease or accident, whether there's a public option or not. Part of the huge problem also is that uninsured working slob people wait till that boil on their ass (a $100 doctor's visit) turns into a $25,000 emerg bill when the boil turns into festering flesh eating disease.

Do you live on planet Mars? Do you know how many working couples pull in maybe $24,000 between them? What do you think WalMart pays? Add in two kids and you're fucked as far as getting affordable insurance. Do you know what an admin assist makes? Maybe she should never purchase a house or go on vacation because even though she pays hefty insurance premiums, should she get laid off or get sick and fired, she may end up with $100,000 in medical bills.

It's fairly obvious that you've never been out in the working world. You're as naive as a baby.

I'm not arguing Obama's throwing of money around, just your ridiculous assumptions about work vis a vis health care in general.  I'm sure if something happens to you at this point, mommy and daddy will pick up the pieces. Whatcha gonna do when you're 40, have two kids, a mortgage, bills, and your wife gets a debilitating disease. I hope people tell you what an ass you were not to save better while they pile you and your family out onto the street.

No one's asking you to feel bad. I don't feel bad either. I just know that there are millions of uninsured people because insurance premiums are through the roof due to all the skimming by big business. I don't want to have to pay for your hospital bills when you get cancer or wrap your car around a tree because you can't afford to buy insurance. And even if I did have to contribute, it'd make me feel better if you at least HAD to have contributed something because the government forced you to take care of your own health, rather than wait until the day "you" felt you could "afford" to contribute.

None of what I posted is "sob story crap." That's the way the world works. Either you can let people pay $150 a month for affordable insurance, or mark it so high they can't get it, then I and other taxpayers pay for their astronomical emerg bills. Your "I don't give a shit" attitude is what costs everyone in the long run.

The example of the admin assist I gave, was not about someone who didn't save to pay for her insurance. It was an example of someone who's worked and PAID huge premiums for 25 years, then gets sick right after being laid off. That happens every day. People also get fired from their jobs when they get sick WHILE being employed and covered, because it drives employer premiums up. Also happens every day. Like I said, naive as a baby.

And even if I did have to contribute, it'd make me feel better if you at least HAD to have contributed something because the government forced you to take care of your own health, rather than wait until the day "you" felt you could "afford" to contribute.

None of what I posted is "sob story crap." That's the way the world works. Either you can let people pay $150 a month for affordable insurance, or mark it so high they can't get it, then I and other taxpayers pay for their astronomical emerg bills. Your "I don't give a shit" attitude is what costs everyone in the long run.

The example of the admin assist I gave, was not about someone who didn't save to pay for her insurance. It was an example of someone who's worked and PAID huge premiums for 25 years, then gets sick right after being laid off. That happens every day. People also get fired from their jobs when they get sick WHILE being employed and covered, because it drives employer premiums up. Also happens every day. Like I said, naive as a baby.



Exactly DeeDee,

As well too, don't forget those who want insurance, but the insurance companies refuse to provide it because there's a significant chance they'll fall ill one day. So what happens... they eventually DO get sick, and everyone else has to pick up their tab.
