Just as I thought.

some of us can multitask. apparently, you're not one of them.

It's called catastrophic insurance. And it's affordable.

Hey, "winner", why aren't you climbing? It's the only thing that's "real". Are your butt buddies unavailable for you?

LOL. Yeah it takes so much time to post even 50 5-6 line posts in a day, typing at 50-60 words a minute. Especially factoring in lunch and off-hour work, and time in between builds, test cases running, and so on. You're such a stupid jackass.

Selfish prick = a bowl-smoking slacker who refuses to pull his own weight.

What was that, bitch tittie boy? Go back to being your "successful" self, winner.

I'm not surprised you know people who refuse to pay their own way, or who fall down while simply walking down the street. Maybe you should be charged for their medical care for passing them the pipe or bottle one too many times?

Sorry, dude. Many of us give to charities that are not faith based. How much do you donate of your time and money, BTW? Nothing?

Yeah, you're such a 'winner'.

Define "needy" I choose charities whom I trust to make this determination and have a low overhead in terms of operational expenses.

Go get a job yourself loser. Since you are "independently wealthy" you could donate all your salary to those poor folk you claim to care about - but in actuality don't. Hell, you could pay for Kevboner's insurance and Prole's to boot.

Take care of the needy through charities, which the right fund in higher percentage than you left-wing, entitlement-obsessed fucks. Go smoke another bowl, and strive for nothing, if you want, but don't expect me to pay your way.

Wrong.

I'm sure WWU has a chapter of the Komsomol to which Prole is active member, you bourgeousie capitalist pig!

Try it in economics lingo, it sounds less harsh: "These people lack the willingness to pay and are therefore unable to generate effective demand." Either way, the capitalist market in health care doesn't give a fuck. According to the US Census Bureau, 17 million of those without health insurance live in households having over $50,000 in annual income. That's 38% of the uninsured in America. In fact, 9 million - 20% of the uninsured - reside in households pulling down more than $75K a year. Ignorance thy name is prole...... WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Those who don't work already have healthcare coverage through Medicaid. The 40+ million who don't include a great number of individuals who do work but don't get healthcare benefits through their employer and can't afford them out of pocket. ya ya ya..... exactly. Just about anyone can afford at least to pay for catastrophic insurance. Many of these "uninsured" CHOOSE to be so. But they'll happily have someone else pay for it. F*** socialism.

Yes, the gov't needs to bus lardasses up to the Mt. Si trailhead every weekend, and force them up and down the hill with an R.Lee Ermey style "motivational speaker" on their heels.

WTF you been smoking? This is a libtard state just like Cali.

Wo sind Ihre Papiere, bitte?

THE IRONY THE IRONY!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure I buy this... but, yes, if you are sick and old, doctors try to give you a whole slew of drugs. But is that all about pushing drugs for profit as much as it's how we approach medicine and treatment in this country?

Hell the govement denies claims all the time,I don't see universal coverage changing much, other than getting everyone signed up under one insurance program who is not already insured,even then your going to pay some thing. NO FREE RIDES The government will have to cut costs just like insurance companies. They'll do it by denying services, by making it difficult to get treatment (longer wait times), by providing second rate drugs, care, machines, facilities. The quality will go down, costs will go up. Those of us who bear the brunt of the costs will pay EVEN MORE. Those who get a free ride as it is will continue to do so, and be joined by more like them. The rich will get the best care $$$ can buy - as always, and only pay a little more for it.

can you explain what the cost of malpractice insurance is, and what part that plays in the overall economy? I doubt he'll respond. It has been well established that the Republican hype about malpractice lawsuits being the root cause of all that is wrong or even much of what is wrong with our medical system is overbloated hype and pandering to folks who are not interested in facts, figures, or real discussion. I never said that. I cited it as ONE factor, albeit a significant one in the higher costs of medical care. And it's not just malpractice insurance or lawsuits (settlements). The FEAR of lawsuit drives health care providers to go way overboard in providing extra services and care - often unneeded to AVOID lawsuits. Keep the machine plugged in, pump in those expensive drugs - you would not want to be sued, after all. Never mind that Uncle John was an obese fuck whose arteries were clogged by a few thousand pounds of ingested lard over his lifetime, if he dies, it's the doctor's fault, damn it! Speaking of which, unhealthy people raise our costs, as do an aging population - a less and less healthy, aging population. Then there's the freeloaders who don't buy insurance, and suck off the teat of big government, visit emergency rooms, call the ambulance because they're "lonely", excessively use an overburdened system. I know people who work in the health care industry and hear all the stories. Anyways, I'm sick of your bullshit, MattP. Time for you to go on ignore for a while - you're a waste of time.
