Well by all means then let's have Medicare for all…oh, that's right, Medicare is failing too.Larkinn said:A broken leg can be a death sentence without proper treatment. Ever heard of gangrene? And there isn't exactly an epidemic of broken legs in this country.
As I stated before, which you conveniently ignored, 18,000 people a year die because they are uninsured.
Right here, post #252:Larkinn said:No, actually I never claimed that. Go and quote me where I claimed that, or retract it.
Since it is the Census that counted the illegals and since the poor illegals by and large do not have health care, it stands to reason they are part and parcel of the 44 million.We are talking about the people who don't have healthcare. You are trying to say that of the 44 million who have no healthcare, 12 million are illegal immigrants. This is an assumption, and 99% a LIE.
Why wouldn't they be? Or shall we say, a liberal socialist?Larkinn said:Are you serious? Do you honestly believe the asinine idea that anyone who supports socialized healthcare is a socialist?
The Census counts illegals. The Census counts the poor. You know damn well that illegals make up a good chunk of the poor.And look at it the huge wide gulf between 1996 and 2000 that would account for the difference in poverty increase between those two years...oh wait.
More unsubstantiated bullshit.

Tell me, son, do you think cocaine should be legal? How about heroine. Or even, marijuana. No? Then tell me why dangerous foods should be legal. They have been regulating food since the FDA was introduced. This is why people can't sell coca-cola with cocaine in it anymore (a pity really).
Yes, I looked at the site. Calling it the "food police" is idiotic to the extreme. It is also extremely biased and includes numerous links that either don't work or are to extremely partisan sites. The ones to genuine news agencies that work are generally about such crimes as the FDA making recommendations (omg...a recommendation? I am terrified!), and Disney signing only deals with healthy restaurants (omg...the cads...who do they are to decide who they want to do business with?).
The only thing with a teensiest bit of merit on that idiotic site is the trans fat ban.
And about trans fats...

omg...the police want to save 30,000 people from prematurely dying every year...fucking nazis...
What's the big diff? We got drug police. The legal establishment goes after drug dealers. Today the legal establishment is going after certain food dealers. Nothing at all idiotic about calling them the food police. Some future signs you'll probably see:
STOP! This is a FRENCH FRY FREE ZONE
JUST SAY NO! TO TRANS FATS
