Hillary Clinton is right when she said insurance companies are destroying the health care system. Insurance companies charge premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and then you only get 50-80% coverage at best. They drop seniors from their coverage and deny children coverage with pre-existing conditions and these insurance companies think they're providing a service to society. This is criminal.

Health insurance companies should be non-profit.

This is the result of allowing the health insurance lobbyists to write their own health reform legislation

WOOPPHHEEEEE!!! DOOOO DOOO!!!!

The HMO's need to be RIP

@SSky06 None of those goods are socialists, they are community-contractarian--they are pacts entered into transactionally between govt and citizens. The reasons you give in support for socialism are in reality the best argument against govt "helping" its people when that help becomes harmful, such as when revenues exceed expenditures to the point where many govt programs are struggling just to pay down the interest on their debt, not even the principal on their unfunded liabilities.

@thereinliestherib- Lol, you could've avoided the redundancy by simply stating he's using "Strawman argument data".

[thereinliestherib]

@CmdrTobs The structural invalidity of deriving qualitative statements from quantitative data is the first lesson in stats; if you're unfamiliar with that, I beg your pardon, but it does say something. Comparative health stats can only take things as given, they presuppose very little about the quality of any particular country's HC. You still haven't given any info to support the assumption that population composition (personal health/risk) is equal for the countries you're comparing.

[CmdrTobs]

@thereinliestherib "The statistical data you state implies nothing qualitative" - Why if you account for variables that are the same? That is the essence of experiment.

"which is structurally invalid" ?? What structure?

"is that which says risk and population composition is equal across international borders" It is, because those boarders are political designations not biological ones or even economic ones.

Care to site any of this "enormous" evidence?

I think you need a Dictionary too.

[thereinliestherib]

@CmdrTobs The statistical data you state implies nothing qualitative; that's because statistics (especially epidemiological ones) are purely passive. You're pulling the same old fallacy of using quantitative stats to infer something qualitative, which is structurally invalid. Likewise, the assumption you still haven't been worthy of defending is that which says risk and population composition is equal across international borders, despite enormous evidence to the contrary.

[CmdrTobs]

@thereinliestherib You mistake the burden of proof. The numbers are collected by the very doctors who work in these hospitals in America and the rest of the world. It's collated by several organisations including the WHO and the CIA and there in almost total agreement. The burden of proof is SQUARELY on you to show in EVERY single case why there data points are wrong.
