You mean committing fraud? There's laws for that
I wasn't a fucking moron and since I'm not a fucking moron I invested in my personal health by taking out my own private health insurance when I was a teenager and ever since then I've been paying a large sum of money every month to make certain that in the event I get hit by a bus or get a disease that I will be able to get treatment without having to sell my house.
You expect to just have breast cancer and walk into a firm and think they're just gonna start paying for all of your chemo. The hell fairy land are you people living in.
Now I'm not going to speak for the new gop health bill as it's still pretty ambiguous but this wouldn't be an issue for ANYONE if people took out their own damn insurance long ago.
It's not that difficult. Insurance is the most important necessity in life. I'd take the fucking bus every day and not purchase a car if it meant I could pay for great coverage.
Obama was right when he told people to not buy the new phones if it meant getting good coverage.
Why is everyone so entitled. Trump is right. Shop around for your healthcare. Companies should be able to compete for your business. That's what everyone I know did.
And yes. I know insurance companies are thieves. We all know. But more competition between them will mean better deals and that's what trump was at least trying to do.
I've always said that a business president would be the best choice. Whether or not Trump is capable of doing so seems unlikely. But if I think that those principles are important for government and then pass on a candidate that, at least superficially, matches my rhetoric then I'm a hypocrite, imo. If he turns out to be awful (and that seems likely) then I have to revise some of my positions in the future because I'll have evidence that shows me I was wrong.
I can't preach an ideology and not put it to the test.
And yes driving the best bargain is exactly what I want my government to do with healthcare. But the best bargain for the government - which would mean maximum coverage for minimum expense. Of course, that's predicated on what someone thinks the role of government is because that determines whether or not the government have negotiated the best deal for itself.
Great post.I just want to be the first one (to my knowledge) to call this. I hope my friends on the right side of the aisle, particularly the far right, take it as a cautionary note.
In Obama's 8 years, the annual number of abortions in the US has decreased by 25%. More, WAY MORE than any president in history.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think is going to happen when insurance companies are again allowed to sell policies without pregnancy and maternity coverage? And at the same time leave millions of women uninsured altogether?
I am going to go out on a limb and say if this legislation passes, it will add 200,000 abortions per year to the tally by the end of his first term. And that is a conservative guess, as the annual number with the ACA in place has gone down nearly 300,000
Get ready for the abortion rate to explode my pro life buddies.
I agree, free market shouldnt be forced to cover guaranteed losses.
In the USA, you have the right to:
You do not have the right to health care.
- free speech
- freedom of assembly
- freedom of religion
- freedom from unreasonable search and seizure
- a fair trial
- bear arms
- public education
- freedom from discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, country of origin, and religion
The ACA was the first step towards making health care a privilege.
If anything, this move cements that house Republicans do not give a shit about the people whose interests they were elected to represent.
The old Republican LIE. The rest of the world has guaranteed basic healthcare.I wasn't a fucking moron and since I'm not a fucking moron I invested in my personal health by taking out my own private health insurance when I was a teenager and ever since then I've been paying a large sum of money every month to make certain that in the event I get hit by a bus or get a disease that I will be able to get treatment without having to sell my house.

Including several countries with more "economic freedom" than the US.
But tell a Republican that we need universal coverage and
Nope.Every country listed has extremely strict regulations that are basically against immigration. So is your head going to explode now too?
I have said it the whole time, you can't have it both ways.
We either bite the bullet, go universal healthcare and raise taxes a whole bunch, or go back to something like we had before and let people suffer.
Not one Republican voted for Obamacare. The Dems should of passed universal health care when they had the chance, but even the Dems don't care about America and its people that much.
Nobody other than you, I guess. And based on how hypocritical and blindly Team Democrat your reaction is, you better hope nobody else does.Nobody is watching a 14 minute rant to see how much someone can spin Obama's statements.
Then so is Chavettz.Yes, people will not always prioritize health insurance when balancing their budget. It might seem unimportant to people who are healthy, and that creates a policy problem. This is known as adverse selection. Obama is right on the money.
Obama didn't specifically say iPhone, you're right. He said cable bill and cell phone bill (suggesting they shouldn't have cable or any cell phone until they paid for Obamacare).What he didn't to was to be boneheaded enough to suggest a new iPhone was equivalent in cost to health insurance and that people could just stop buying phones and be insured. And he didn't talk about that while trying to take health insurance away from them.
I don't think you should be lumping in most people when you are clearly a biased hypocrite. And this video wasn't meant to educate people, just to remind them of the hypocrisy of the Democrats, why they lost and why they're on their way toward losing again in 2018, probably even 2020. Your rustled response adds some pizzazz to it, though, thank you.You see, this isn't some gem you found. Most people here can weigh in on Obama's statements and not find them as nearly as stupid as Jason Chaffetz's. And most people don't need a 14 minute rant to educate them about it. Because they're not morons.
