What is wrong with some people

[JBeukema]

A non-socialist fire company would arrive at a fire and ask you how you intend to pay them for putting it out. Will that be cash or charge?

The moron's never read a history book.

They tried that New York back in the ~1850s.

Lots of people died.

"Denied healthcare" and being bankrupted by it are different things.

A friend of mine recently moved back to Canada because she could not afford the treatment it would have cost her had she stayed in the US.

That sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Can't afford health care in the US? Just move to Canada and let them pay for it!

key phrase...."back to Canada"

 

[JBeukema]

Oh yes they do pay for their equiptment, why do they ask people to donate to them to help pay for a new fire truck?

LOL...

No they are not asking you to pay for a new firetruck with the quarters you throw in the basket. Fire Trucks cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, training a "volunteer" costs thousands of dollars.......the local community pays that through taxes

The money you throw in a basket usually pays for some social events or even health insurance for firefighters who do not have it.

The volunteer fire departments in my neck of the woods get more then just pocket change, they get trucks and equipment.

Yes pay the doctors and nurses through services rendered.

pay them with 'services rendered'?

I think they'd prefer currency

 

[JBeukema]

Are you saying the two are the same or some how connected?

Yes they are connected and complimentary. The "socialist" Gubmint recognizes the greater good of having fire companies and provides funding to ensure their continued success

Explain how they are the same? .

Because I love living in America. The confluence of socialism and capitalism has made this country a great place to live.

One day you will wake up and ask where did my freedoms go that is if you are free to think when that time comes.

I see your tinfoil hat came with a chin strap.

Actually, that's a jockstrap on his head. Not sure where he found a metal cup; it must be oldschool

ol' saul. pitty can't you come up with some new materal?

No that's what others call me.

it should be an option and it should absolutely be written in that stone that this program can not access ANY government funds that they themselves did not collect. In other words they must run in in the black or go out of business.

ditto for the vast majority of government programs

 

[JBeukema]

Will the hand-wringing never end? The US was the only first world nation without socialized medicine. I dunno if what we got in the health care bill qualifies as that, but it's a step. If there are weird things in the bill -- as seems to be the case -- hopefully in time, they can be removed.

The answer is yes, I want to live in a nation where none of my neighbors are denied health care. I'm just as socialist as the average Canadian.

You people need a new tune to play; this one is o-l-d.

Nobody is denied healthcare.. nice talking point though.

Next

Tell that to the woman who two weeks or so ago went to a local hospital to have her baby and was sent home and had her baby in the cab. She was denied.

Here's a novel idea for you...HE'S GOT A FUCKING JOB!!!!

Interesting point

It highlights the need to rely on an employer to provide you with health insurance you can afford. What happens if you lose your job? What if you are self employed? What if your employer drops health insurance coverage?

That is why we need a Government Option

If you lose your job, if you are self employed, or if your employee doesn't offer health care insurance, you already had an option. What you're REALLY saying is that the government should cover those who can't afford to cover themselves, and that is welfare.

No...welfare means the government pays for this coverage and you get it for free

What the Government Option is you get the advantage of large scale government buying power to obtain health insurance for lower cost than you can on the open market

Think I could find someone equally as stupid at the Republican convention if I showed up with a camera looking for the dumbest person around?


Wait, I don't have to- you put them on display

I'm a complete moron

Yes, it's a quotemine, but it's the most honest part of that post

 

[JBeukema]

Look, asshole, from your posts you are clearly a Fascist. You would hold the big transnational corperations responsible for nothing. If people die, and tens of thousands of American Citizens means of making a living are destroyed through the criminal negligence of a corperation, tough shit.

But keep right on preaching this perverse ideology. Make it good and clear to all your fellow citizens that you consider them to be on no value.

Now hold on, you just accused them of a crime, and your boy Obama has extracted a penalty from them for said crime sans any sort of trial. is THAT the American way?

and don't come back with "you don't think they should pay for anything" because I certainly do, I just think that they should be you know given a trial to determine how much they owe. Either that or call the $20B a plea bargain and drop the BS about an investigation.

More drive-by labeling. That shit can come from any direction.

No ones perfect, not even you maybe you can take those lessons for me and when you're finished take the paper work aand stick it up your arse. The grammar police come out when they can't beat you any other way.

lol

Pointing out your strawman and functional illiteracy is not a case of the 'grammar police'.


I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you were simply retarded rather than purposefully dishonest.

Is it that you're stupid enough to believe that is how it will work, or is it that you think the rest of us are stupid enough to believe that is how it will work?


You can't seriously believe that ANY program ran by the government will operate in the black.

How do you pay for your health insurance, if you have it?

i dont see how this is an argument for a government option. how will that necessarily be different from a private option?

A discussion board? Do I threaten you? I really must or you're just that anal to waste time nit picking over grammar errors on a discussion board. I bet your head swells bigger then a beach ball when you find a grammar mistake. Go pick on someone who gives a shit about what you think.
