>> What in the hell do you think happens to a person without health insurance if they get real sick or hurt?; serious cancer or chronic disease? They generally do not die in the streets. Those few people falling into this category may struggle to find the best solution, but there are solutions out there. There are numerous options available to these people, and were prior to Obamacare. If you were poor, there was Medicaid -- which provided better care than that available to the indigent than practically any other country in the world. If you were a child, St. Judes turns no one away. If you were over 65 you probably had Medicare. As I've pointed out on another thread, multiple Oncology clinics I've worked with treated indigent patients without coverage at no charge. There are clinical trials, there are programs that provide chemo drugs for qualified individuals free. These are all difficult options but they are options for someone who has cancer or other difficult diseases and no insurance. But no one wanted that. The goal, whether R, D, or L, was to deal with the problem. The disagreement was over how best to deal with it. As we know, the D's programs have failed, failed, and failed again. Ds do not understand that it is the profit motive that helps people, and you are stupid and go about it all the wrong ways. My suggestion would be that liberals stick with the arts and allow Ls and Rs to do the analytical stuff because you guys could not analyze your ways out of a paper bag. Every last one of these programs of yours have been disasters and Obamacare clearly is, too. >> I know a thing or two about this subject. No, you don't know crap. You have a bureaucrat's point of view. I work in the real life situations, in clinics where physicians have to keep the lights on while trying to take care of their patients. Where they have to decide how many Medicaid patients they can see and still pay their student loans. You don't know shit. You're part of the problem. Don't ever get the idea that as a bureaucrat you're part of the solution because that is bullshit. Now fuck off.

It is your ignorance that is so hard on the poor Koan, you represent a retrograde, destructive, and immoral attitude that transcends mere ignorance. You're utterly without comprehension of the forces that improved the average income of most everyone by factors measured in the hundreds, sometimes thousands, over the past few centuries hither and yon. That leaves you, among too many others, susceptible to contemptible nonsense, agents of destruction, enemies of everyone -- and especially the poor. Your ignorant prescriptions mitigate against the wonders that the tumultuous activities inherent in free market processes have wrought. Left to your kind humankind might regress to where life is nasty, brutish, and short. You suck!!
