Wow... that means you're rich and have no problem supporting yourself, because the min. wage is a true living wage. NOT I responded to your minimum wage note, I still say, if you are too broke to pay your bills, how can you afford to support a banker/insurance company and still pay your bills. You claimed that somehow someone who makes twice the minimum age shouldn't be eligible for Medicaid. I called you out on that. I just said they were eligible. I made no judgement beyond that. Read it again. It is on top right now. So, what were you trying to point out? Why the comment? What does double the minimum wage have to do with Medicaid? Who's talking about supporting banker/ins. companies????? That is the effect of wanting "dollar zero" insurance because you can't manage to save enough to even pay a minimal amount of doctor bills. It is just fiscal lunacy, much the same as saying you are too broke to pay your bills so you charge up your credit cards. Who's advocating dollar zero insurance? The fact is that when you have lots of medical problems and you don't have a great job, you still have to get help. Where do you think you're going to get the money? While it might be lunacy from your point of view, from the point of view of the person in trouble, it's a short-term viable solution. But, you just want to cut them off, right? So they can either sink or swim on their own. You've got yours, right? I bet you always remember to pay your fire insurance too. I guess you don't have any moral imperative to help your neighbors in case they have a problem. If you can't afford your bills, how can you possibly afford your bills PLUS 29% interest? YOU CAN'T. That's the POINT. They don't have an alternative in the short term. Then, the CC bill comes due and they can't pay, and they go broke, get evicted, can't feed their kids. I don't understand why this is so hard to understand. Not everyone can manage to live like you do. Sometimes people live paycheck to paycheck, and sometimes they get over-extended due to unforeseen expenses, but I guess that's never happened to you. Good for you!! Unfortunately anyone who thinks that is OK also thinks the government is doing fine borrowing 40 cents of every dollar they spend. Please show me where anyone here thinks that's "OK." That's missing the point by a wide mile. |

If they "can't afford much" how will they be dealing with having to buy insurance. We have all agreed it won't be free. So, you think that someone who can make a $200/mo payment is the same as the person who has $3K sitting in the bank? Adding me was $500 a month, $200 was the 26 year old AFTER you bought the $500 "family" policy. Total $700 a month. I thought you were rich. What's the problem? I never said I was rich, you did. But you have a problem affording a measly $700/mo.? Yes, Karl Rove and friends certainly did a number on lots of people. They are certainly afraid. What does Karl Rove have to do with a health care bill written in Harry Reids office? It wasn't "written in Harry Reid's office." Nice try. The Republicans made lots of contributions, as did Democrats, and unfortunately too many lobbyists and not enough regular people. Bull****, the bill that came from the Democrats in the senate was written without any input from the republicans. Nice try tho. Completely untrue. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezr...ealth_car.html Nice try with an alternate set of facts. Karl Rove... not a thing, except all the money he's funneling into negative campaigns.. money from guess who? Don't know? Neither do I. Why? The Disclosure Act that was blocked by Republicans. Both sides have plenty of "bundled" money It's estimated that the contributions from hidden money is something like 10:1 Reps/Dems. Thanks SC and Citizen's United. |

If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a PC or a MAC, it's from an ID spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his current ID Boatless Harry |

What's the problem? I never said I was rich, you did. But you have a problem affording a measly $700/mo.? I just said it was stupid to pay $500 a month($6000) for $3000 worth of insurance And, I agree with you, but if you don't really have a choice, then it isn't a question of being stupid is it? Yes, Karl Rove and friends certainly did a number on lots of people. They are certainly afraid. What does Karl Rove have to do with a health care bill written in Harry Reids office?

Completely untrue. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezr...ealth_car.html Nice try with an alternate set of facts. Those are "ideas" the GOP still did not have anyone around when the bill was written. Yet those "ideas" were part of the bill. So, the Democrats who wrote the final draft didn't just use their own ideas. QED Karl Rove... not a thing, except all the money he's funneling into negative campaigns.. money from guess who? Don't know? Neither do I. Why? The Disclosure Act that was blocked by Republicans. Both sides have plenty of "bundled" money It's estimated that the contributions from hidden money is something like 10:1 Reps/Dems. cite that Well, here's 8:1 on the insurance companies... http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-0...elections.html |

You said a "minimum wage" person could not afford to set up a HSA. No I didn't. Feel free to quote me. OK You have described the problem but the ONLY fix it is to get some personal responsibility back in the populace. I am not rich and I really never have been but I was brought up understanding it is better to save up your money and buy something instead of doing it on credit. Insurance is nothing but prepaid credit. That's part of the "fix" but most people take personal responsibility if given half a chance. Personal responsibility doesn't help much if you're making minimum wage or have medical problems. Who's talking about supporting banker/ins. companies????? That is the effect of wanting "dollar zero" insurance because you can't manage to save enough to even pay a minimal amount of doctor bills. It is just fiscal lunacy, much the same as saying you are too broke to pay your bills so you charge up your credit cards. Who's advocating dollar zero insurance?

I have never said Bush was good on the debt. He was a disaster. Ok. ![]() |
