“Papa told me to never get in a p***** contest with a skunk on a balcony.”
What did papa tell you about playing the skunks part?
“Oh, my, how condescending. Why the chip on your shoulder?”
You were being annoying, I was returning in kind. I’m probably better at it than you.
“However, just so you’ll know, I pay for my health insurance, so I’m quite aware of the issue. BTW, in answer to your question to justiceseeker93, he probably won’t mind if I tell you he also provides for his own health care.”
Ok, gotcha. I’m sure that’s why Mr. Justice wouldn’t answer the question himself.
If you pay your own premiums for your insurance policy then you have seen them increase substantially above the rate of inflation year over year just about every year. I’m sure your papa also taught you about exponential growth and how it diverges from reality, so that even reasonable people will do unreasonable things, like support socialized healthcare.
Healthcare is broken, the free market (that isn’t really free) has not brought forth a solution that mitigates costs and expenses, so we’re gonna get socialized medicine. There is no doubt, only a matter of time.
Stating the obvious doesn’t make me a socialist. Refusing to see the obvious doesn’t make you conservative.
Be more polite next time, and you’ll get polite dialog, assuming there will be any more.
You’re deliberately writing ambiguous messages. You’ve said you are against socialized medicine, but from your other comments it appears you are advocating it, and yes, my reading comprehension is just fine.
However, I do agree with you on one point, it’s only a matter of time until this country has socialized medicine.
