Healthcare - A Privilege Or A Right?

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

"The full-time occupations with the highest earnings in 2009 were ?Health professionals', (median pay of full-time employees of £1,031 a week), followed by ?Corporate managers? (£745) and ?Science and technology professionals? (£698). The lowest paid of all full-time employees were those in ?Sales occupations?, at £278 a week. "
You think that qualifies as "VERY well paid?" Why would someone become a doctor when they can make more slinging porn?Comment

I'm certain McCain/Palin would have fixed all of our problems by now.

I guess that's why Clinton didn't get a second term... a majority of Republicans in power prevented that from happening.

McCain didn't win, Obama did and has done nothing but push the healthcare bill, some counties in California have unemployment rates above 20% and that JACK ASS is more concerned about healthcare. People that can't work, can't get healthcare, they have no money, pretty simple.

That focus would be on those who are obstructing progress, in hopes that Obama will fail - at the cost of what is right for the American people.McCain didn't win, Obama did and has done nothing but push the healthcare bill, some counties in California have unemployment rates above 20% and that JACK ASS is more concerned about healthcare.

If it wasn't healthcare, the opposition would be bashing Obama anyway.
They claimed jobs was the number one issue, and then most of them didn't even vote for the current jobs bill.
It is obvious what is going on, and it's a shame, because WE are the ones who lose in the end.Comment

Funny how often you can be found in almost every thread I start.
You are not in the adult industry, and you weren't even born in the United States!
I find you entertaining, in much the same way that I appreciate flies.Comment

What a coincidence. You give anyone arguing with you, a huge self esteem boost because they know that no matter what, they can't possibly be as dumb as you. Thanks for making us laugh

What's right for the American people is what the American people want. If we take polls seriously, the majority of people do NOT want Obamacare. We realize you are incompetent, but I didn't think you were as delusional as Pelosi. And spare us your bullshit about "we would be blaming him anyways". If he would have succeeded, you would have sucked him off. While he's failing, you're blaming Bush. Great double standards!That focus would be on those who are obstructing progress, in hopes that Obama will fail - at the cost of what is right for the American people.

If this bill does not pass, the insurance companies will be dancing in the streets. They have spent over $400,000,000 so far to prevent themselves from answering to anyone.
To think it is better to be slaves to an unchecked, healthcare-for-profit system, is somehow a better plan, then you are just too fucking stupid to bother arguing with anyway.
When your rates skyrocket, and your coverage shrinks, then you can celebrate your wonderful win! Hey, maybe you can vote Palin in next time - she's another fucking genius!Comment

Uh, what you have just explained shows you have NO idea what is in Obamacare. NONE whatsoever, not a single thing.

I wouldn't know. Seeing as how you're definitely the dumbest person on this forum not named TheDoc, I have to inquire about CNN and MSNBC's brainwashing tactics, seeing as how they not only brainwash you, but make you mentally retarded. Btw, there's nothing to read over, since I've read a portion of the bill while you have no clue what's going on other than "I LOVE OBAMA!!"Greed is Good

All this arguing is insane. The one guy in Congress who wants to see single-payer health care totally picked up for by the government and is vehemently anti-profit driven health care more than anyone else is Dennis Kucinich.
He thinks the bill sucks and doesn't want it. It's a giveaway to the insurance companies and it won't even take effect for 4 years. Who knows what kinds of loopholes the insurance companies will learn to exploit in that time.
Unfortunately he caved in yesterday. The people are going to lose on this one.Comment

I'm with Dennis on this, and it's a shame that a single payer or public option bill is not on the table anymore, but as the resistance to the current bill has been fucking insane, imagine how it would be if it was more pro-government, and less free market?All this arguing is insane.

He finally accepted that something is better than nothing at all. As I've already stated numerous times: the insurance companies have spent over $400,000,000 to kill this bill, so you have to believe it will provide some checks and balances for us, that are not currently there. It is basically a vote for some reform, as opposed to simply accepting the status quo.Last edited by BFT3K; 03-18-2010, 10:50 AM.Comment

While tort reform would help (although there are many experts who say it would only lower overall costs by around 5%, that is still 5% less) as far as I know the bill does allow for the creation of groups so that individuals can buy policies from a group pool just as if they were part of a large corporation.This post is exactly why this legislation is seriously flawed. There is no disagreement that the healthcare system needs an overhaul.
Why should US citizens get a better deal in Mexico and Canada for pharmacy items. How about tort reform, allowing group policy holders to shop for health insurance on a national level. There is a list of common sense things that could be done to get the process started. Yet none of it seems to matter to the current administration. They want to tax us for 10 years to pay for 6 years of coverage. And at the end of 10 years,then what?
I agree fully that the legislation is flawed and has a lot of problems. I am very hesitant about it and I feel in the end it will become bloated, corrupt and cost a whole lot more than anyone is guessing. Like you I think there needs to be real reform, but this bill probably is not it.
My post was a response to your question about about the government taking over a for profit business. The point is that this business is not a free and fair market. We are forced to pay as much as 500% more (and maybe more in some cases) than other countries do for the same medicine. We are forced to pay this because the government will not allow us to go out on the free market and buy it from an overseas company that sells it cheaper. I don't think the government should take these drug companies over, but they should allow we citizens who pay for our medicine with cash instead of insurance to buy it from wherever we please and create a little competition which might then cause the price to lower here in the states.Last edited by kane; 03-18-2010, 11:01 AM.Comment

He ran on transparency
Yet in an interview yesterday, wouldn't answer one question asked of him
He ran on passing bills on their own merits
Yet they added Student aid to the health-care bill to create savings to get it past the CBO so they could pass it on a 51% vote, very sleazy thing to do.
He lied on all his issues so far, so trusting that this health-care bill is right for us is a fairy taleCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

"He" ran on passing bills.... "They added" - ding ding ding... If he was to hold a sword to them, you guys would be screaming dictator.
He lied on all issues? Really, all issues? That's a huge reach that not even Fox News would try to stretch past the people.

Changing which subject? The overall post topic that you changed, or one of many sub-topics being talked about, or me adding questions to your overall statement made?
I didn't really debate anything... Mine is more comments and questions.
And yes, lots of bills go through every day without anyone ie: Obama, touching them, the bill passes on it's own merit. The difference here is, Obama said he would do health care and the people wanted it, and many still do... so it's a bit more expected that this topic would get pushed through vs. passing on it's own merit.
Either way, it's not a giant conspiracy...

Interesting take on it.
Here's the rub though: Capitalism tends to commodify everything up to and including people. So while you can say that we should not be able to grant certain commodities or services to people for free I can say that certain things should not be commodified.
Should clean air and water be commodified? Should health care? Should people?
The profit motive is a wonderful servant and is useful in that role. When it becomes the master, as it clearly has, it becomes a tyrant and counterproductive to society.Comment

You are easily the FUCKING DUMBEST person I have EVER had the misfortune of running across. I think I would have to travel to every single corner of this planet just to find someone half as stupid as you!
Seriously, I truly think you are a total fucking moron. I cannot look down upon you any more than I already do. You are a waste of everyone's time. You HAVE to be a loner, because if ANYONE was stuck in a room with you for more than 2 minutes you would not survive the experience.
In other words, I think you are a total asshole...

Is this because i called you out on being a buffoon and other people noticed? Is it because all your time on this forum has amounted to you being known as a buffon? It must be both since you're essentially repeating what I always say to you, further proving my point and making yourself appear impossibly dumber. At least thedoc has reduced his post count when people started calling him stupid. You might be even dumber because you are still typing. Thanks for making me laugh, dumbass.Greed is Good
