yes, everyone now pays for those who don't .. always have
The most important right a consumer has in a free market is the right to say "no thanks" to a product or service that they don't think is worth the money. Stripping that right from consumers makes us utterly powerless in the marketplace.
If what you want is to remove health care from the free market, than have the integrity to do it above board. Forcing us all into involuntary servitude to the insurance industry is not a 'step in the right direction'. It's a sickening sellout and everyone supporting it is culpable.
"The most important right a consumer has in a free market..." how are rights enforced? regulation?
"If what you want is to remove health care from the free market..." never said that

who has the power with socialized medicine....certainly not the patient....When you say solidarity, you mean equal treatment for everybody?
Equal [insurance] premium, ... and that everybody can be insured.
Who has the power? The small group of the people who leads these companies. And it is something for me which can be dangerous, because it is a business with a billion of Swiss francs, and the check and balance is not optimal in the present system. ...
You are not a rule maker of any sort, son.
Is the fact that Roberts essentially rewrote Obamacare, and declared that the mandate is simultaneously not a tax, yet still is, too complicated for you? Are you aware that he actually trashed precedent to accomplish this feat of legerdemain because, up until yesterday, SCOTUS had consistently ruled that anything Congress said is a penalty is not a tax? Do you even have a brain?
In other words, you don't have a clue.
Try that in any ABA law school in America and you will be sent home.
You are not a rule maker of any sort.
Do you even know what judicial activism is? Really?
Go ahead, define judicial activism in a way that excludes rewriting laws from the bench and creating taxes in complete violation of the Constitution.
Only cretins believe that American jurisprudence ends with the first ten Amendments.
All of your challenges have always been answered correctly and properly.
That you, along with comrades such as bigrebnc, refuse to accept reality is your problem.

Like the one where I asked you to explain how a judge rewriting a law and ignoring precedent is not judicial activism?

You have been answered by your betters. You don''t buy it, so you have to provide the case, I don't, because it is your affirmation.
Go for it meathead.
On fox now
Amazing how one guy who vowed to bring us together, can make a country so divided

your analysis of quotes take out of the context of the full interview helps you? What is best for the consumer? Not all consumers are patients getting care. You are skewing things to fit an anti socialist argument. Fine. But be fair. Is a socialist solution that works bad just because it is a socialist solution?
Social Security is a socialist solution, and how many decades of Americans have been better off then Americans before FDR?
question: When you said to the insurance companies, "No more profit on the basic health plan," what did they say?
Pascal Couchepin answers: They accept it; they have no choice. And [all these] companies are [heirs] of former social companies. For instance, the Groupe Mutuel ... was built on this idea: no profit; everything must be given to the people who are members of it. So there is a tradition of social attitude in these systems.
I am not systematically against the idea of having profits in the health insurance system, but if we introduce it, it is more with the idea to balance the power in the health insurance system, because now there is a lack of balance of power.

question: But you have government regulation, what we might call regulated competition. Does that work?
Pascal Couchepin answers: It is regulated competition. It is in order, but I think, as a Democrat, ... it could be not bad that once a year they [the company managers] have to go in front of a public assembly to answer questions about their salaries, about the way they see the future, about improvement in the quality of the services. It would be, my opinion, not so bad. And it could be possible through a system of shareholders, but not for profit, more for control.
