Requiring health insurance is a enforcing conservative values

No. Being responsible for ones own health care means that you pay for it yourself without government intrusion into your life.

In theory yes but that does not always work in the real world.

You have a job and good insurance. You lose your job and your insurance. You cannot afford paying for insurance while not employed.

You have a heart attack and run up $300,000 in bills.

Who pays for it?

You make arrangements to pay it over time.

Do you understand how credit works. If I told you tomorrow to go out and get a $300,000 unsecured loan you would not get it. Hospitals and doctors cannot afford to be giving $300,000 loans to broke patients. They would go broke.
You would be imposing on the hospitals and doctors.
In a free market your solution is unacceptable.
 
"Taking responsibility for his own situation" in the context of health insurance, is conservative code for: "I've got mine. Screw you."
Actually that is not a 'conservative code'.

The truth is, I don't give a fuck if you die.

Or get sick.

Or can't pay for it.

I am not your keeper, nor am i responsible for your problems.

The trouble with you big government stooges is you think everyone is responsible for other people, to the point of being forced to do it. I don't think so, neither did the founders of this nation.

Nobody stops you all from getting together, pooling your money and helping whomever you please.

The problem is, you yokels use the system created to run the nation to feed your lame assed Robinhood fantasies and make everyone else pay for things they don't want and don't agree too.

And I am not a 'conservative' and care nothing for such labels anyway.

Perfect Xeno!!
 
And yet every one of the orgs I mentioned did a fine job in the late 19th and early 20th century covering all of those problems and more.
Why are these institutions so strapped? Can it be that high taxation has left them with less money? Could this be part of the overall bureaucratic plan, to cut out alternatives to big government? I don't know but it wouldn't suprise me.
I know of several times that neighborhood orgs, churches and charities have covered some or all of a medical expense or other disaster-related cost for someone. It happens all the time.

Rabbi, Think about it.

100 years ago the most expensive medical procedure may cost a few thousand dollars.
That is like saying in 1900 we did not depend on the middle east for our oil so we should do the same thing for our oil we did in 1900.

Science and technology has changed the world.

In the new world, we must have new solutions.

As the technolgy advances there will be even more expensive health options.

If the government did not provide sewers people would start crapping all over your yard and it would become your business.
You would have to make decisions. Do you start shooting everyone who craps on my yard, do you clean up the crap or do you agree to pay some taxes so you and everyone else does not have to crap on your yard.
The point is:
At the end of the day what others do will affect you. As a human it is impossible to be an isolationist in the 21st century in the USA.
Spare us the lame assed argument of basic services we agree to vs social injustice nonsense, that red herring fools nobody so stop the bullshit.
 
I wonder if anyone else has spotted the odd disparity between this post, and the sig line of the poster?

"Taking responsibility for his own situation" in the context of health insurance, is conservative code for: "I've got mine. Screw you."

So what?

You mean "so what if it isn't true?" So what if I am making it up? So what if I am totally wrong and have boiled eggs for brains?
Nothing.
But Costanza is substituting stereotype for argumentation. The truth is that Democrats are the ones who have theirs, everyone else fuck off.
The Dems in Congress voted several times to exempt themselves from the bill's requirements. This is because they are
The Party of Fuck You!

No, I mean, "So what if we're saying, 'I've got mine. Screw you'?" I don't have a problem with that in the slightest. As a matter of fact, I'll say it right out, instead of in "conservative code": I've got mine. Screw you. Go get your own and stop whining for me to give it to you.

And there we have demonstrated the basic leftist inability to differentiate between "running the system" and "lame-assed Robin Hood fantasies". The only way in which your desire to charge everyone else for your health care resembles community sewage provisions would be the smell.
 
I believe you have no idea what "conservative" means.

A conservative takes responsibility for his own situation. He does not presume to know what is best for everyone else.

In theory that sounds good.

In the real world it does not work.

Your neighbor chooses not to buy healthcare. He has a heart attack. He rund up $300,000 in bills. He has no savings.

Who pays for it?

Private foundations.
The hospital absorbs the loss
His relatives
His neighbors
His church

This is the issue. To big government types the only and universal solution is more big government. There are no mechanisms outside of government that are capable of dealing with these issues, despite the fact that they did just fine before big government got into the act.
In any case, unreimbursed health care expenses are a very small part of the problem in health care.

And what I highlighted do so because they are geared for it and do so willingly. To foist this on the people whom have other ideas on how to spend their hard-earned money is Srvitude at the point of a GUN courtesy of the Government.

That isn't Liberty. It's Tyranny in a basic form. It flies in the Face of what the Founders legacy. it's high time people start learning this basic precept.
 
Conservatives should refuse to use public highways, police, fire departments, right?

Leftists should refuse to bring up the fucking roads and cops in every goddamned discussion about their obsessive need to play Mommy for the whole world, particularly those leftists who get told five or six times every single day (that would be you, Mensa Boy) that limited government isn't the same as no government, community concerns are not the same as micromanaging personal lives, and your personal frigging healthcare is NOT A COMMUNITY CONCERN, if only because increasing numbers of the community feel they would be benefited by you dropping off the face of the Earth every time you start flapping your gums.

What precisely do we have to do to get this message through that granite boulder on your neck that you call a head, so that you stop sounding like an Alzheimer's patient, having the exact same conversation every five minutes?

All I ask is all who think like you sign a contract that says if my money runs out while in the healtcare system I agree to not be treated under any circumstances.
You better have a few grand left to cover your burial costs so you don't impose on the government.
 
Requiring health insurance forces people to be responsible for their own health care.

If someone does not have health insurance the rest of us pay their bills. We pay their bills through health care providers increasing the costs to those who can pay. Many times the government pays the bill of those who do not pay using our tax dollars.

People who choose not to have health care insurance cannot choose not to get sick.

If an individual does not have health care coverage the rest of us will end up paying their costs one way or another.

To enforce personal accountability for health care costs we have two choices.
1. Mandate health care insurance
2. Do not treat individuals who cannot pay.

I believe in personal accountability and I believe in option 1 to make people accountable. for their health care.

YOU are in dire NEED of a lesson in Responsibility, and secondarily in the very precepts of LIBERTY of the individual.

You cannot MAKE/Force this...it has to be learned...and no Government on Earth can change people.

You may shitcan 1 and 2 on your way out the door.

What do you think is happening now when the uninsured need healthcare? We all pay for it through our taxes reimbursing hospitals and healthcare providers or through higher healtcare costs to cover those who do not pay.

Our society will not turn away people who need healthcare.

We are already paying for the healthcare for those who cannot afford it. The current program is trying to fix the broken system.

You are one of those who said do nothing while we are being milked by those who cannot afford healthcare and the insurance companies.

Are you so dumb you do not realize what is going on.

I believe in the free market but it does not work for healtcare. In the free market you eliminate risk and increase profits. With healtcare that does not work.

What the fuckin HELL do you think the healthcare bill is? And YOU applaud it at the point of a gun if people elect OUT? Refuse and Jail time?

s0n? YOU have alot of thinking to do.

If you choose to live in a city you pay that sewer cost that the city provides. You should be free to shit in your own yard as long as the smell of your shit does not infect the air of your neighbors yards. Don't expect someone else to pay for your tie in cost to city sewer. You have options you can pay for tie ins to city sewer or you build your own septic system. See how that works.

I can say I do not and will refuse to pay for cleaning up or maintaining your shit when I personally built my own septic system and maintain it without costing you or anyone else a single dime.

I had to have surgery about eight years ago. We did not have insurance. Knowing this in advance the surgeon arranged to have the surgery done at a day clinic. We traded services with the doctor for our landscaping services for his ability to do the needed surgery. The day surgery clinic cost was less than sixteen hundred dollars. A friend's wife who is a nurse had us stay at their house so she could watch over me for the night after the surgery. The next day I went to the doctor's office and he removed a drain tube. That same surgery in a hospital setting for the same procedure on the opposite side with the same problem three years later cost almost $40,000.00.

I do believe that there should be options for those who cannot afford insurance. An option and mandatory by forced into purchasing something you do not want are two different cats.

The federal legislators are mandating laws they themselves do not have to partake of. Everyone who believes in freedom should be bothered by this.

Really? No MATTER if *I* or some other Individual can pay for care ourselves?

You want to punish those that can pay for it and OPT OUT on their own accord demonstrating responsibility that comes with their Liberty?

IS THIS YOUR STAND? Is this *Your FINAL ANSWER*?

You are an idiot. Without proper sanitation you have cities full of diseased people. Commerce is dead without adequate roads. The free market works fine with health care regardless of the push you and your cohorts are willing to force on everyone else in order to line the pockets of again a few who believe they have the right to deny others freedom of choice.
 
Nobody stops you all from getting together, pooling your money and helping whomever you please.

Great. Would YOU kick in? No?

Well guess what - that's why the government has to step in and FORCE the "I don't give a fuck if you die or get sick," selfish assholes in this country to participate.

*ELMER* is advocating a FREE RIDE for those that won't exercise the Resonsibility of seeking care of their own accord, and wants Government to do it by Legislative FIAT at the point of a gun.

He totally dismisses the point that with Liberty comes responsibility. (And the DUTY of every citizen). *HE* Rather intends to Force servitude unto others By others.
