can't you tell that I'M WITH YOU GUYS on how shitty Insurance companies are?!!!!!!
I'M COMPLETELY AGAINST THEIR SHITTY MASSIVE PROFITS!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! ffs... I'm not all about making sure private commerce makes their fucking profits FFS....
... i want the cost down!!!! FUCK Insurance Companies and their greedy bullshit - THEY WON'T EVEN COVER ME...
Try getting a letter in the mail every month for a year straight from every insurance company you could think to contact to ask for 'help'... and their response is either 'No'... or "yes... except your pre-existing condition'...
... I fucking get it, guys... more than most of you here... ;)
I just want the cost down... and everything left 'private' as the Gov. is NOT capable of making decisions for me. I want the Gov. to just make sure I have options available - but I don't want THEM as my only option.
- They aren't the only option, even in Canada.DrBombay
- and now we're back to my two bowls of m&m's illustration, dobs :DPonyBoy
- Is anyone advocating FREE health care. This is why I don't think you really get it.DrBombay
- anyone w/a brain understands it's not 'free'... taxes pay for it, dobs... the point is - if you're already taxed for it...PonyBoy
- ... and it's there in front of you to take it... or... PAY MORE elsewhere - what are the majority of people going to do?PonyBoy
- think small businesses who insure their employees - they start paying the taxes into the gov plan... are they really...PonyBoy
- ... going to keep paying for private insur. on top of those taxes?
No... therefore the other bowl eventually becomes untouched.PonyBoy - of M&m's... eventually begins to just sit.PonyBoy
- So the M&M's aren't really free then are they?DrBombay
- thus why I said that metaphor is retarded :)DrBombay
- but you already PAY FOR THEM... why bother with the 'private' bowl?!
Why is this so hard for you to follow?PonyBoy - Public education is a more apt analogy. It hasn't done away with private schools and universities.Mimio
- follow?PonyBoy
- the only thing retarded here is your ability to follow the idea that people will always go the 'cheaper' routePonyBoy
- Mimio has it right...DrBombay
- education is not HEALTH... you can't compare the two at all - people drop out of highschool and do finePonyBoy
- But many people believe public school sucks, so they CHOOSE to send their kids to priv schoolsDrBombay
- Even though they still pay for the public schools out of their taxes, right?DrBombay
- that's actually a good argument :)
I have to think about that...

... Fag!PonyBoy - And we have had a breakthroughDrBombay
- if you send your kid to private school, you can apply for a voucherBattleAxe
