As long as the rights of another are not violated in the process, the amount of money a person makes is nothing more than a score board reflection of one's service.
But the pharmaceutical and insurance companies do violate the rights of others. By monopolizing and price gouging, our rights are violated. Would you like me to present the direct causality showing this violation or do you get it?
Haha. Shows how much you know. Last time I checked I was paying rent for the last few months....
Who do you think FUNDS THE ACTORS(politicians)...
Does it not cause you any alarm or pause that the insurance giants and pharms are on board with the administrations plan?
In part yes, coupled with socialism which leads to a general malaise. When you take away the incentives to get up in the morning, a surprising percentage just won't. When you measure a life's worth with a point system, you devalue it. When you limit a persons income (through heavy taxation) and therefore spendable income, coupled with the cost of raising a child with limited funds...many ppl in Europe have stopped reproducing. You can look it up if you like.

Sure, but when you make your presentation, be sure to include the cost of research and development of each successful new life saving drug that is placed on the market. Also, in your presentation, include the time frame delays caused by the FDA ... and the lives lost due to that time frame.
And by the way, you've asked me not to be condescending toward you in my posts, which I've complied with. Now you return the favor, OK?

The other 50 - 80 million have made their choice. They can get off their a$$ go to college, get a degree, and work for a living. The could also return to their home country that they left in favor of getting our free hand outs. Or they could utilize the existing system as it is. If they're not in favor of these options then they have the right to die from their own choices.85% of those who HAVE health care. What about the other 50-80 million?
Are you saying that our government ISN'T predatory and corrupt? The same government that has deemed that Marijuana is a class 1 narcotic that has no medical value what so ever and imprisons those who don't feel like getting hooked on morphine? The government that sent millions of our children to die over a family vendetta? The government that is controlled by lobbyists and money men? The government that forced lending institutions to give mortgages to people they KNEW couldn't afford them? The government that refused medical care to veterans exposed to nerve gas in Vietnam, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq?
Yeah, thats what I said. But jhr or whatever it is insists that the government take care of us as if we are uncapable of taking
Funny, I don't remember saying that. So continue to straw man.Yeah, thats what I said. But jhr or whatever it is insists that the government take care of us as if we are uncapable of taking
care of ourselves.
Anyone can get off their ass and get some education to do better.
Hell, like I said, if my HOMELESS ex could get up and start college,
anyone is capable. It just takes some encouragement and the will
to do better. If all these people with out healthcare would quit
their bitching and complaining, and do something to better themselves,
we wouldn't be in this situation. People are too damn lazy to take
care of themselves, so they expect the government to do it for
them. Thanks, but no thanks. I want to take care of myself,
and don't want to be forced to accept gov't health care.
I bet we will become an even unhealthier country if this
bill passes.
I'm neither a democrat or a republican...
I'm an independent. And I'd rather not even be labeled that.
I'm me, and I think for myself. But jhr wants the gov't to think
for us as though we are uncapable of thinking for ourselves.
Its time for a revolution.
No, not those exact words. But thats what the bill says.
bzzzz
Watch one of those videos that trees posted. Boehner and the other republicans pisses and moans about not having time to read the bill for about an hour. Then Boehner goes through and uses small lines throughout the entire bill that are completely out of context that emphasize his fear mongering. How could he have done this if he hadn't had time to read through the bill?
1. As the bill is not passed yet the insurance company you have must be trying to scam you.
Credit card companies started to do this back in '08 to good creditors. It is sick. We basically have had to finance their stupid decisions over the last 4 years. And further more they have been doing his to people that ride the limits on cards for the last 10 years. Charging 30% interest rates and $39 bucks a pop for overlimit fees and late fees everytime. Even when it is the high interest rate that got dumped on that took it over the limit. The cc companies are some sick folks.
15%-20%? Damn man, go to your nearest credit union they can hook you up with a car loan for about 7-8%. It will save you a ton of money, and you can get a much better 'cash' deal at the dealership.
Taxes blow when we have to pay them. I hate seeing all the money leaving my household too. But something that I think of is that when I was going through school I was able to benefit from a system that I was not paying for (school), and now I am helping pay for the next childrens education. That education that I had recieved has helped me to greatly increase the money that I can make. It helped set me up for the future where I could take care of my portion of the system.
