What does this idiot Krugman, an economist, know about health care? Nothing at all. This liberal should be shackled in leg irons and kicked in the ass.
-
Actually, what he means is getting enough of the mental retards that are Congressional Republicans to step away from the corporate trough at which they feed long enough to pass legislation that would actually benefit the whole population instead of just the CEOs of those corporations.
-
You as individuals don't make your "own choices," bub. You pick from what the corporations are willing to give you, according to how much money you have. That's a pretty narrow range of "choice." But don't let reality spoil your ideological wet dream or anything.

If this isn't proof that pretty much any Democrat can get a Nobel Prize, I don't know what is...
-
Haha, if I didn't have to "worry about getting it through Congress?" What he means is if he were the dictator he'd force us all into the plan that he wants. Thanks Paul. Why not just choose your own plan and let us choose ours? Oh, because he doesn't want to pay out of his own pocket for those who can't pay. We already pay for people without insurance through higher premiums. He simply wants all of us to pay for the plan that they choose instead. Again, thanks Paul, a true American hero!

minowekay,
Acne is a pre-existing condition. What did you think, they were making billions by being reasonable?? Some insurers deny most of the claims!
Anyway, talking to a moron like you is pointless.
Go back you your Tea Klux Klan party, nobody's gonna challenge your idiocy there.
-
esh, you and your friends should start a health insurance company. You can provide excellent service, never refuse a customer due to a pre-existing condition, and use ALL of your profits for the public good. YOU can work without a salary and really show up Blue Cross! Yours will become the most successful health insurance company in the country! ALL Americans with pre-existing conditions will use your company!
Provide employment, healthcare, public good. Win-win-win. Only in America!
-
semi, it does sound unreasonable that an insurance company would deny cancer coverage because of your acne 30 years ago. SO unreasonable that I would like you to provide a link or a cite so I can read the full story.
If you cannot, then I have to assume that you're just another Obama-trained ACORN thug, instructed to convince Americans--by lies and exaggerations--that Obamacare, unlike any of our other Government entitlements, will NOT go broke and WILL improve our healthcare service. HA!!!

Why do people, typically not rich, defend the private insurance companies so much? These companies kill people for a profit. We're the only industrialized country in the world that relies on private companies to do the right thing with something as important as health care. Health care is not a right in the Constitution, but we have, as a people, a moral duty to care for the less fortunate and a political duty to promote the common good in our republic.

This is a straw man argument. I don't hear very many people defending insurance companies. What we are defending is our rights as individuals to make our own choices regarding healthcare for our families. I agree that we have a moral obligation to assist the less fortunate, but when the the concept of promoting the "common good" devolves into confiscation of wealth/property and infringement of personal liberty...we've gone too far.
