That said, I'm still not in favor of a socialist state.
If I were, I'd move to Venezuela.

I don't think there's anyone here who's in favor of that. Still, we
should
be able to ensure that all are insured.

Many of us would not have a problem with that proposition if "insured"
meant
"insured." It's one thing to protect against unanticipated
catastrophic
costs. It's entirely another thing to prepay the costs of routine
services
that everyone will incur. Unfortunately, when most people talk about
"insuring" in the context of medical expenses, they're talking about
prepayment, and not insurance.

When are these liberals ever going to learn there's no such thing as a
free ride.
Friggin' socialists are lazy, selfish, clueless whining crybabies. I
hate their guts.


"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the
blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of
misery." -- Winston Churchill

"Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own
sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to
society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to
society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for
the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good." --
Ayn Rand

"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which
debt he proposes to pay off with your money." -- G. Gordon Liddy

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may
be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons
than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may
sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do
so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis
