The whole thing is bullshit.  You are born with DNA that can encode for cancer cells.  You are born with a heart with a certain capacity of limitation.  Virus and disease can be contracted easily and unknowingly.  There is no such thing as "pre-existing".  Its always pre-existing at some point.

The Private Health Insurance Industry is a sick and deranged scam.  I still can`t believe this is how healthcare operates in the United States.  Its an illogical waste of money hinged on making money off of human misery by not covering things and jacking the price up to make up for not being able to deny coverage.

Yet, you and others support this nonsense.  Very strange to me and very stupid.


So if someone doesnt pay a penny into health coverage their entire life but wants to buy it when they develop cancer, etc... that somehow makes sense to you?  I had my insurance license and know what a shitty imdustry it is but allowing someone to purchase coverage after they have developed a terminal condition is beyond moronic.

Yes.  Lets just let them die.  They deserve to die and have no coverage if they can`t pay.  Or if they get coverage, the hospital should bankrupt them, take their house and every penny they own. 

You are right, they should not have gotten cancer.  Their fault.

U are a "registered" Libertarian yet u are on Medicare? That's kind of hypocritical. Why not live what u preach and forego government medical insurance. All doctors and hospitals take cash. Is Social Security part of your "fixed income"? Fixed income of course being a classic big government term of art. Nothing is stopping u from getting more income.

You're probably a retired public school teacher or other public service worker on a pension.

Some libertarian.

ayn rand.

some libertarian



Why do you two think all Libertarians have to be hardline extremists?  Most Libertarians are probably moderates.

No, what they should have done was be a responsible adult and purchase insurance instead of counting on those of us who do to cover them and thereby drive up our cost.  Personal responsibility.

Yes, because everyone has a job and everyone can afford health insurance.   ::) 

Republican Plan: Don`t get sick, Die Quickly.  Personal responsibility.


Look, its not going to work and Private Insurance is the problem.

Private Insurance is the problem.

So, lets fix the real problem and make healthcare just like any other service people buy.

Democrat Plan: Don't buy insurance, let someone else pay for you. No personal responsibility. 

There are VERY few Americans who cant afford insurance.  Its just that they choose to have a flat screen, cable, cell phone plans beyond their needs, $150 sneakers, car payments they shouldnt have, etc...  instead of making it a priority. Medicaid would easily cover the ones who really need it.

Fixing the problem would be Universal Healthcare like the rest of the civilized world has or totally eliminating the middle man, this case being the Insurance Companies.


Healthcare is not just a service, its a matter of life and death and continued production.  You will have no economy if the sick cannot be treated or afford to be treated.

Its not that simple.  Sounds cute, but its not really like that.

You do realize that Universal Healthcare really only works for routine health conditions generally?  The real problem with it is when catastrophic conditions arise.

I realize that Single Payer is proven to be more effective in health outcomes and is much more financially viable as it would actually save much more.

http://www.pnhp.org/facts/single-payer-system-cost
the U.S. could save an estimated $592 billion annually by slashing the administrative waste associated with the private insurance industry ($476 billion) and reducing pharmaceutical prices to European levels ($116 billion). In 2014, the savings would be enough to cover all 44 million uninsured and upgrade benefits for everyone else.

Tennessee: Obamacare will triple men's premiums, double women's
By PAUL BEDARD | SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 AT 12:07 PM

— Today, a 27-year-old man in Memphis can buy a plan for as low as $41 a month. On the exchange, the lowest state average is $119 a month — a 190 percent increase.

— Today, a 27-year-old woman in Nashville can also buy a plan for as low as $58 a month. On the exchange, the lowest-priced plan in Nashville is $114 a month — a 97 percent increase. Even with a tax subsidy, that plan is $104 a month, almost twice what she could pay today.

— Today, women in Nashville can choose from 30 insurance plans that cost less than the administration says insurance plans on the exchange will cost, even with the new tax subsidy.

— In Nashville, 105 insurance plans offered today will not be available in the exchange.

Doesn't matter. Obama promised it would DROP by $2500 per family. Liberal math 2 + 2 = 800,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Obama spent $850 billion as soon as he walked into the Oval Office with his first stimulus plan.  

Remember, the one with shovel ready jobs, except that they weren't so "shovel ready?"

cancer treatment is pure shit, its just a way of fowarding people to death via chemo

chemo has a negative success rate

better off avoiding heme-iron or pay Marty Forkwater to set up a cancer free diet

It's all bullshit.  Obama has no idea how or whether this will work.

The govt. expects that somehow business will figure this out.

Just remember, when you need  a hip replacment, you'll call 1-800-529-1040 rather than your doctor.

It will drop if you choose the plans that will be offered and you meet the income requirements.  Obama can`t control what your Private Health Insurance company will do in the long run.  They will fuck you if they get the chance.

No one knows the impact this going to have.  Much of what we are reading, good and bad, is purely speculative at this point.  I can't help but feel that this is going to cost a lot of money in subsidies
