So you would compare a plan that does not insure the uninsured against one that does? What's the value of that? Of course there would difference in absolute cost. Thank you. You claimed that the PO would save money. I challenged that assertion, which you now agree was an false assertion. My purpose was to disabuse you of it and set the record straight. You are becoming condescending and patronizing. People believe all sorts of unsupportable and often downright silly things. There are lots of human and environmental factors that enable those beliefs to persist, a subject area I find fascinating. I try to reason people out of them now and again, particularly the obvious ones. The resistance is amazing. You and I spent 11 posts settling this one. Most of them are never resolved. That tends to provoke in me a bit of an attitude, I admit. In the course of our colloquy, you claimed YOUR assertion was "obvious," challenged my objectivity, and offered a bunch non sequiturs. My attitude in response, while hardly admirable, cannot be much of a surprise. Peace.
