Ninety seven million people signed up for Medicaid last year, so this

When CBO says the proposed changes will cause 24 million to "lose"
health care they don't say that 19 million of them will simply choose
not to buy it because they dropped the mandate. At a certain point,
when they come back with a "pre existing condition" or just show up
sick, **** them. If they are really poor, they got medicaid anyway and
if they had the money and chose to buy "stuff" with it instead of
insurance, go bankrupt and lose that "stuff".
We won't replace your house or your car if you refuse to insure it.



Your only significant and revealing post to date in our national
provision of health care challenge:

"At a certain point, when they come back with a "pre existing condition"
or just show up sick, **** them."

"**** them." How very Republican Libertarian of you.


I notice you trimmed the part where I said to make them financially
liable for their treatment.


As I stated, most people on Medicaid do not have the means to be
"financially liable" for medical treatment.


If you are on medicaid, you are covered so that is a red herring.
I was talking about people who can afford it and just choose not to,
(the 19 million who are covered by the mandate now that the CBO is
talking about)


That is going a lot farther than your "single payer" plan then isn't
it. Would your wife be happy to be a government doctor, making a set
wage that would have to be lower if we really wanted to cut costs.

My wife worked as a "government" psychotherapist at the state and county
government level, and was offered a "government" job when she got her
M.S. and another "government" job when she got her doctorate. She didn't
go into her field for the money or turn down government employment
because of the money.

I was talking about not having the choice.



Would you want to go to a government doctor?

If the doctor were competent, of course.

Hmm, one is wage limited and promoted based on time in grade vs
someone who gets paid for performance. Who do you think will be the
most qualified?


You will end up with 2 tiers of medical care, like UK.
We are actually moving that way anyhow.

BTW there is not really any competition in the health care business

And there won't be under a so-called "free market" health care system.

I agree I have not heard of anything out of the Democrats or the
Republicans but they are both bought and paid for by the health
provider, pharma, lawyer, insurance industry.
Nobody wants to derail the gravy train.
