Healthcare Premiums Soar

[Concerned American]

I guess you never learned how the founders fixed it so it can be changed.......not that it has to

Have you gotten that ERA passed yet? I guess you're not quite a sharp as you thought you were, eh? Redundant and unnecessary amendments will not be passed by Americans.

Since every other first world country offers it, maybe the Constitution isn't always what it's cracked up to be?

People in other first world are far more responsible with their health than Americans. Their government promotes healthy diet and exercise. Government in this country is in the back pocket of conglomerate food manufacturers. There are five or six companies owning just about all the brands you can name. Combining government with food manufacturers and unhealthy slops and there's your recipe for disaster.

I rarely see a doc. My last visit was more than five years ago or even longer. Why am I subsidizing unhealthy folks because of their choice in life? I don't mind the folks who are born with conditions.

I never tried.

Nor is one needed to expand what we already have.

Just an excuse......any old excuse will obviously work.

Excuse? Can you point what's false?

Then why are you trying to use it for support for your inept argument in your post #199. Now run away junior troll, you're dismissed.

we are no less healthy than many others.

I didn't bring it up. You did.

You're free to look up the longevity of all nations.

The ones with UHC live longer?

If you live in Japan say for decades or since your birth, you probably wouldn't need one. Japanese are extremely healthy. I am sure Americans living there can attest as they too are probably very healthy.

What does any of that have to do with the quality of their health care? Not a damned thing. Japanese are healthier because they eat rice and fish while we eat meat and potatoes. Is that any surprise to you? Not me.

Is in their constitution? Oh, wait! No, it is not.

The ACA is health insurance, not healthcare. There is a difference.

Yep. What we really need is healthcare. But the insurance companies have us convinced that only they can make it "affordable".

 

[dblack]

Obamacare isn't health care. It's taxpayer funded health care for persons who aren't citizens or even legally in the Country. Why won't democrats admit to what's at the root of Hussein/care?

It's worse than that. It's subsidized insurance. Subsidies that bailed out the failing health insurance industry (and fucked the rest of us).

 

[Seymour Flops]

Me, me, me.

And my family and friends, yes.

That's who I owe something to.

Why do I owe you healthcare again, exactly? Because Jesus, did you say?

I have healthcare. I want others to have it also.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Others already have it also.

 

[Concerned American]

Others already have it also.

The difference is some of us pay for our own. PK figures taxpayers should pay for his.

 

[dblack]

I have healthcare. I want others to have it also.

But you want other people to pay for it.

 

[pknopp]

But you want other people to pay for it.

As i already noted, I'm willing to pay also.
