NO. Stop trying to assume what I'm saying when I just detailed my friggin' point. What the hell is a socialistic tendency? It's a waste of time to debate you.
What you want me to say. That in my opinion you mean this or based on what you said I deduce that you mean XYZ or how about I just assume you mean this or how about I interpret what you say as YZX. A socialistic tendency is easy. No it is not full blown socialism yet b/c there are private companies. But now there will be a public and private. Not quite socialism but not quote capitalism. THUS A TENDENCY MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION. I'm glad you find it a waste of time. I could assume why you say that but wait maybe I will wait for your response because I can't do nothing, must do something :hihi:
Your naivete is amusing. The government should not be involved AT ALL. Obama is trying to establish a beachhead here. It's a foot in the door. You refuse to see it.
Your paranoia is disturbing. The simple presence of government is NOT SOCIALISM. Nothing to see here . . .
Never said it was. I'm not one of those screaming socialism here. But, yes, I am paranoid. Where you see a great President trying to help all Americans, I see an anarchist whose dingbat mother unfortunately decided to take a little Hawaiian vacation. If you are blind.
food for thought. Healthcare Economist Health Care Around the World: Switzerland "of all the countries with universal health care, Switzerland’s is the most market-oriented and merits discussion. Switzerland’s health care spending as a percentage of GDP is second only behind the U.S. (11.6% of GDP for Switzerland, 15.3% for the U.S. according to Frontline), yet the government pays for very little of this funding. The Swiss system is similar to the “managed competition” health care plan proposed by the Clintons in the early 1990s. Funding. Insurance is purchased by individuals. Individuals generally must pay the full cost of premiums, but the government helps to finance insurance purchases for the poor. “These subsidies are designed to prevent any individual from having to pay more than 10 percent of income on insurance,” ... Thus, the Swiss government only pays for 24.9% of health care costs (compared with 44.7% in the U.S.). Private Insurance. All insurance is private insurance. However, insurance companies are mandated to offer the same “basic benefits package.” ... Some estimates claim that 40% of Swiss citizens have purchased supplemental insurance. Waiting Times. According to a WHO study, Switzerland ranks second only to the U.S. in terms of timely care."
Listen up, Hoss. I am totally against the philosophy of the bailouts. I initially thought the AIG bailout was necessary to stop the bleeding at the time but I now see that it was strictly political and primarily to keep Goldman Sachs afloat. But, if you think I'm going to apologize for being happy to remain gainfully employed, well, think again. It was nice of you to hold your tongue until I pissed you off though.
Simple presence? Creating a public option to COMPETE with private health insurance is a SIMPLE PRESENCE? Riiiiggghhhhttttt
when it is so commonplace that people are doing this to you, perhaps it is time to examine whether you are actually doing a good job describing your position.
