@LeksServices "Who destroys the planet in the interest of making a buck? Wealthy capitalists." I agree completely, but you're missing the main point. The government helps them get away with it. The government is on their side, not the peoples'. The government will never be on your side, because the government's goal is to make money!

I don't know why you're arguing with me, honestly, the government is every bit as capitalist as Wal-Mart.

Less stealing isn't better than more stealing because stealing is wrong. Even if money is stolen and then spent for you, it's wrong to steal.

@givethemahand besides, Stef is totally in favor of actual reform. He wants healthcare to be a free market function, not 66% government controlled, cartelized and paid for (which is the status quo), nor does he want healthcare to be even more mediocre (like the ones that are 100% government run and paid for).

@givethemahand It doesn't seem to make any difference to the "reform" crowd that the US government fails at most of what it does or that Obama has broken so many of his other campaign promises.

Personally I am getting sick of idiots who think that some retard (US Government) is going to somehow pass the calculus exam (making a better healthcare system).

I say people soak up as much benefits as they can while this system is going through it's final death throes. Get financial aid, apply for every financial benefit you "qualify" for & take in as much as you can in the way of "public" benefits. I think it will help kill this system off faster.

It doesn't seem to make any difference to the anti reform crowd that the recently passed US reforms have very little in common with the UK or Canada systems.

Personally i am getting pretty sick of straw-man arguments that compare the US health care bill with UK or Canada. Its like comparing apples and oranges.. actually more like apples and hockey sticks.

Note that this is from the Guardian, not exactly a free market champion.

Everyone wants to get all crazy over this peice of legislation.....i vote and make my opinion on what i feel is best for me and my family....which is what we all do right? Well when a bill affects my job and my way of life i am opposed to it......Just be thankful we are able to respectfully disagree about this.....if the people wanna change it then do it with your vote in November.....stick to what you believe and never let anyone stray you from what you feel is right....

The only reason anyone could be forced to comply with an insurance company's edict on payouts would be if the state enforced such edicts with violence. The amount of choice involved in your purchases is directly proportionate to how good of a service you will receive and how reasonable the price will be. Why do you shake your fist at the CEO when it's the state which is the only entity capable of destroying your freedom of choice? The CEOs are just using what is available to them.
