> [@Lightnin](#): > > And what happens when you visit another state and need to use your health insurance? Better hope your current provider approves out-of-state claims, huh? This is a good point. We live in New Hampshire, but our health insurance is through my wife’s last employer (COBRA) in Massachusetts. We cannot use providers in New Hampshire, except emergency room services. We have to travel to MA for everything else. ---

> [@villa](#): > > It’s no more rational to state that the government should protect from enemies, and little else, than to state that the federal government should protect from enemies and provide health care, and little else. I’m not bothered by this. I’m not one of those hard-core principle-based libertarians that want all roads to be toll roads, etc. I just want a smaller fed gov than do the liberal douches. I have one opinion and you have another; it is no indictment of my opinion for you to say the distinction I’m making is not rational. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > Nah, I already have health insurance. Pretty decent insurance at that since my wife works for a hospital. My own workplace offers insurance as well but my wife’s plan is better (and cheaper) and so we go with her’s. > > I voted for Obama so we could both help ensure that the other folks have insurance. You’re not really getting me anything. But, since you asked, I’ll take the car. Thanks. I’ll take the trip to Hawaii. I already have Health insurance, that you pay for right now, incidentally, **RR**. As a matter of fact, you paid for my off-post dental appointment last monday. Since most people can’t or won’t join the military, and most that do won’t stay in for 20 to keep their benefits, its probably a good thing that they have access to medical care. ---

Hey, shouldn’t RR be treating all of us to a vacation from his presence for referring to all of us in general, and at least one person in specific, as motherfuckers? I’m pretty sure he told someone to fuck off, too. (Or rather, lamented that he couldn’t tell someone to fuck off, which is what sissies do when they don’t have the chutzpah to actually say the thing they’re not allowed to say.) > [@Claire\_Beauchamp](#): > > That is not a definition of fast food. That is a definition of _junk food_. [snip rest of rant] Oh, sorry, did I push your fatty button? Feel free to change “fast food” to “junk food,” then. It still applies to most of what you can buy in fast food establishments. Go cry into your Twinkies–maybe \*\*they’ll \*\*love you. ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > The other point about UHC that chaps my hide is the whole idea of health care exceptionalism. Why is a trip to the doctor so different than a trip to the movies? Why should the government use tax dollars to pay for one and not the other? You’re not serious with that are you? Because if you are it demonstrates a level of stupidity that most people over the age of five are not capable of. ---
