> [@FallenAngel](#): > > So not wanting to be robbed at gunpoint, which is what government programs are, since if you don’t pony up they send people with guns to come and take either you or your money, is equal to being a selfish little prick? Yep. On the plus side, if you contribute with an open heart, you’ll get into heaven. Jesus would have wanted people to help the poor get health care. ---

If it’d make you feel better, we can quit our jobs so that way when **Rand Rover** is having hysterics over paying for my insurance, at least it’ll be an accurate scenario. Will that help? Let me know 'cause I don’t want to work a full day if I don’t have to. ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > So, it looks like I may be paying for health insurance for a lot of you motherfuckers. Is there anything else I can get you while I’m at it? A brand(!) new(!) car(!) perhaps? Or how about a week in Hawaii? > > You elected Obama so he could force people like me to pay for stuff for people like you, and it looks like you may get your wish. I guess you don’t care that goverment health insurance will cost many of you your jobs and will slow investment (meaning worse infrastructure and fewer cool gadgets like iPods etc.). No, none of that matters. And I guess inflation and weakening the dollar don’t matter either. And increasing the size of the federal government is only a bad thing when we’re talking about Bush’s justice department reading people’s emails, it’s fine when we’re talking about social programs. > > Guess you won’t mind when cigarettes and fast food are made illegal due to the public’s interest in keeping health costs down. Or when the average quality of doctors goes down because doctors have to get other jobs that pay better so they can repay their student loans (and fewer smart students choose to be doctors in the first place). And gutting the market for drugs is no big deal, Obama will just tell the companies to keep researching or else. > > Anyway, you’re welcome. You had 8 years of Bush cutting your taxes and letting the middle class help keep you rich. We eliminated regulations so the wealthy thieves could steal without repercussions. I hope you were very happy. It must be a bitch having to pay your share. Poor baby. Most research is done in universities at tax payer cost. The companies just take over when it shows profitability. You must get out of your gated community more often. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > Wow, that’ll show him. :rolleyes: > > I find it interesting that [Canada](http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/30/canada-sees-boom-private-health-care-business/?test=latestnews) and some of the European countries are moving back to a private sector based health system. You’d think we’d learn from their mistakes. Even I came to the conclusion that prohibiting people from getting private health care was nuts. Funny thing is, Canada was peculiar in that aspect, now that that is no longer an issue I agree more with the Canada system. I remember seeing a report that private care can only be expected to grow to cover 5 to 10%of the Canadian population. And that is because private health care will avoid taking patients that require treatments that are no longer at a profitable level. And that will be because the public plan will remain. What Fox does not tell you is that the vast majority of Canadians and Europeans do not want the US Heath care system. ---

Actually, I’m looking forward to the news footage of pregnant women being dragged to clinics for pre-natal checkups so the government (excuse me, the gooberment) doesn’t have to pay for expensive premature births. I don’t want a pony, a vacation or a car; I want Alzheimer’s care for my grandmother who’s paid into social security her whole fucking life. ---

I would like a pony stabling facility so that I can charge fees to all those here who wanted the pony. Also, I’d like a car park facility for those who opted for the car. And, since you’re offering, I wouldn’t mind having a blowme sandwich, open-faced. Thanks in advance, Ash ---
