The Big Cat Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 I'm pretty sure coverage won't pay for the waaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance. Please continue preparing for the Rapture. We've got some extra tin foil if anyone's running low.
PearlHowardman Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 It would only be rationed like everything else is going to be now, anyhow. Got universal health insurance? Yup! Got a doctor? Yup? Got a doctor's appointment? Uh, nope!

We've got some extra tin foil if anyone's running low. I'm sure you'll be happy, as I'm certain that you qualify for goverment subsidies (handouts).
IDBillzFan Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I'm sure you'll be happy, as I'm certain that you qualify for goverment subsidies (handouts). People like Big Cat don't just qualify for government subsidies. They strive for them.
PearlHowardman Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Update: My doctor just dropped the universal coverage plan.
The Big Cat Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Update: My doctor just dropped the universal coverage plan. You mean he had the freedom to do so under this socialist, totalitarian regime!? My stars! I'm sure you'll be happy, as I'm certain that you qualify for goverment subsidies (handouts). I do! People like Big Cat don't just qualify for government subsidies. They strive for them. It's true!
Magox Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I do! Good, next time the proctologist sticks a finger up your ass, just remember that I helped pay for it.
The Big Cat Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Good, next time the proctologist sticks a finger up your ass, just remember that I helped pay for it. Thinking of you and !@#$s at the same time? A reality I couldn't possibly imagine.
OCinBuffalo Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 You mean he had the freedom to do so under this socialist, totalitarian regime!? My stars! I do! It's true! As I said in another thread, and it definitely bears repeating, it's nice to see such a high value being placed on self respect and personal achievement. Perhaps those words don't have any meaning for some?
murra Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 As I said in another thread, and it definitely bears repeating, it's nice to see such a high value being placed on self respect and personal achievement. Perhaps those words don't have any meaning for some? And as I responded to in that same other thread, those values are extinct. Even the way you refer to them remind me of some professor lecturing on an ancient culture's mythological past: "The whack-job conservatives, who reigned from 1964 to 2010 even believed in the idea that private contracts were a right inherit in the constitution." "Will that be on the exam?" "What? The constitution? Of course not, why would we waste time on such an obsolete concept?!"
keepthefaith Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I do! It's true! How about a big thank you to those of us that fund your benefits plus the freedom and protection you are provided?

Perhaps those words don't have any meaning for some? As does the high value of "helping others even if it means hurting yourself." I know. Not "perhaps", by all the whining and crying that goes on with posters on this board that helping others doesn't have any meaning to guys. Nice to see that selfishness reigns supreme! Actually helping others even at the detriment to yourself is the utmost sign that somebo? This isn't a pissing contest. Keep up the great work!
The Big Cat Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Who must buy Health Insurance? Who gets subsidized insurance? Freedom in this country is SO !@#$ED.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 How about a big thank you to those of us that fund your benefits plus the freedom and protection you are provided? Suck it up. Do your job. Help others. Don't ask for thanks or recognition. Whatever happened to humility in our society? Whatever happened to this virtue? Hero worship is king. Look at me! Look at me! Thank me! Thank me! You really love me! You really love me! You really need me! You really need me!

Actually helping others even at the detriment to yourself is the utmost sign that somebo? This isn't a pissing contest. Keep up the great work! I think you'd find that conservatives are quite benevolent. I think you'd also find that conservatives would support taxation if they felt that the taxing body was responsible and efficient in spending tax dollars. Our Federal government (and llinois as well) are anything but that. Many would also argue that when you provide entitlements to people you aren't helping those that are able minded and able bodied. You're simply supporting the habit like that of a junkie. We have millions of people in this country that are addicted to handouts and a political party that is willing to exploit them and keep them "down" in exchange for their vote. That's your party. Just like kicking a lazy 25 year old kid out of the house is a good decision, so is limiting entitlements for the unproductive. Government policy and taxation should drive productive behavior, not limit it or provide a disincentive.

I agree with the helping others part to the point that I teach it. Nobody in a crew of mine leaves until everybody's work is done. But, what about the "holding up your end first" part? Who do we go see when our money/time gets wasted on some half-ass who does nothing with the benefit we have provided? How about this as a compromise: If you take subsidized health care from the government, and are willing to give up your self respect, then lets take this the whole way: the government gets to control what you eat, whether you smoke, no drugs, 1 glass of wine a day, have to exercise at the government gym, etc. If you pay for your own insurance, you get to do whatever you want, including drugs->everything is legal for you, booze, Vegas, Bills Tailgates, 10 bic macs a week, whatever. If we are going to "invest" in the health care of people, then as "owners" we should be able to have a board meeting and elect officers who will oversee the careful management of our investment. That's not selfish, that simply sound "asset" management. Hey, you are the one who keeps saying that we need to help these folks, I am merely saying that we "help" them as much as possible.
IDBillzFan Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Who must buy Health Insurance? Who gets subsidized insurance? Freedom in this country is SO !@#$ED. The simple fact that you have no problem with the fact that your government mandates you to purchase something speaks volumes about your inability to understand what is happening. You may want to read up on freedom, and liberty, and what other bigger, better, stronger, and smarter people than your own self did to provide the life in this country that you are so ready to cast aside.

Virtues like honesty, integrity, personal responsibility and self sufficiency?

My government makes my motorist friends buy car insurance, has for a long time.
OCinBuffalo Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 My government makes my motorist friends buy car insurance, has for a long time. Looks like you need wawrow to help you "perceive nuance" a little better huh? Apparently you can't tell the difference between being born a citizen of the United States(or soon, being an illegal alien and getting amnesty) Hint: involuntary and buying a car. Hint: voluntary I will leave you to ponder....
