      ********

    • the future is here.
      ********
    • and it looks downright terrifyingformed
    • we haven't even gotten the present working yetscarabin
    • Perhaps Trump is trying to appeal to the neo Nazi element of his voting base with these eugenicist proposals.yuekit
    • by neo Nazi element i'm guessing yuekit is talking about rules enforced with penalties, and not haircuts. Which is exactly how Obama rolled out Healthcare.
      ********
    • only an asshole and idiot would support this.monospaced
    • Adding "science denial" to list of terms omg doesn't understand, along with "free press," "free speech" and McCarthyism. What a fucking dumb fuck.monospaced
    • Hypocritical fucktard at best, troll of the highest order at worst. All qbners hate him. Fucking yuri.monospaced
    • jesus, mono... tell us how you really feel about the guy.PonyBoy
    • I'll let him take it from here.monospaced
    • its encouraging these bible bashing hate monsters at least accept some science is relevantfadein11
    • pony triggered again - chill dudefadein11
    • fadein... triggered by my triggering... one of these days this place is just going to explode from one mass triggered chain reaction.PonyBoy
    • lol. the trigger effect. could be a good movie actuallyfadein11
    • hello DaveFax_Benson
    • can we talk about sad-suited, kicked out employee photo for a second? what kind of stock photo is that bullshit?BonSeff
    • IN-VALIDPonyBoy
    • I wonder what type of voodoo science mono uses to determine his health care needs.
      ********
    • back to the article/bill in question - that's some seriously messed up shit.inteliboy
    • these brainwashed soulless science deniers want to effectively limit choices in healthcare and drive costs up.
      ********
    • I go to the doctor regularly you stupid piece of shit.monospaced
    • Surprisingly idiots can follow a calendar. Yet they oppose a bill that could make wellness programs cheaper by over $5000 for millions of people.
      ********
    • wait, hold on, you're proposing that US citizens should be gene tested?inteliboy
    • No. He's supporting that proposal.monospaced
    • mono's science denying brainwash will have you choosing between a house or health insurance for millions of people.
      ********
    • He saw some movie on TV, so now he's afraid everyone will turn into Jude Law. What a dope!
      ********
    • once again, you don't know what science denial even means, based entirely on your use of it here, so there's no way I can respond to your level of stupidmonospaced
    • and your failure to comprehend my analogy to gattaca makes you either severely mentally challenged, or just a dirty piece of shit troll ... your choice, dumbassmonospaced
    • I simply disagree that it's benign to let insurance companies and insurers screen for genetic predispositions and expect them to do only good by it.monospaced
    • You are selling it like it's entirely about giving choice, and that's an incredibly narrow, naive and frankly, fucking disgraceful. You can't win this arg.monospaced
    • So you agree with science, however using genetics isn't something you plan on helping you with your health plan because it disagrees with your view on the world
      ********
    • You probably don't mind marketers taking demographic surveys on health, but volunteering towards genetic screening would be too precise and scientific for you.
      ********
    • It's like in your world, not-knowing is better. Meanwhile genetic testing could close the mystery of unknown illnesses we'd occur likely to bring down costs.
      ********
    • I don't believe it's in the people's best interest to allow insurers and employees to tailor insurance and income based on your genetics.monospaced
    • If I want to get my own genetic panel done, i can do that privately and act accordingly, under the healthcare plan that covers me. Your way is for assholes.monospaced
    • In my world, people have equal access to healthcare despite preexisting or preconditioned situations without penalty. Your way is for profit and assholes.monospaced
    • Once again, you can't win this argument unless the point you're making is that a) you're a world class asshole, or b) you're a troll of the highest order.monospaced
    • Rewards should be given to those who focus on their health. Not smoking, working out, eating right, and genetic testing ensures a healthy lifestyle.
      ********
    • You want to take those rewards away because you don’t think its fair. Blame God, a gym membership, and call them assholes for being healthy and fit.
      ********
    • You seem to think that losing money is a moral approach to solving issues. So penalizing people who are health focused is deserving.
      ********
    • You’re not doing anyone any favors by ignoring genetics within the scope of healthcare which needs tailoring backed with facts to work properly.
      ********
    • Rewards are given to people who focus on their health. They get good health you morally-challenged asshole. Your point of view is that of an asshole. Period.monospaced
    • How you can not realize that the system you're advocating for is purely for profit is so fucking naive it isn't funny. Profit for pharma and insurance btw. Ass.monospaced
    • And once again, you lost this argument. Your argument is only making you look like an asshole and making my side stronger. Either you're stupid, or a troll.monospaced

    • Nobody is forcing you to sign up, but reducing $5000 off one’s healthcare every year can help a single mother feed her starving children.
      ********
    • You’d rather spit at the walls of opportunity and deny everyone else’s need for more affordable health insurance. That makes you the asshole with a hungry kid.
      ********
    • That hungry little kid is saying, your voodoo magic-science doesn’t help. People need companies to make profits to stay in business and improve health needs.
      ********
