I've decided now that I'm opposed to health care reform.

Why's it called homophobia if it's hate rather than fear? Please give an answer that does not have any yoda-isms

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

'Cause homofearia sounds really gay.

In effect you're saying the poor haven't earned to live.

I don't care if this is true retardation or intentional, it's a better troll than the OP.

This is just the kind of retardation I've come to expect from you.

Always happy to hear that from you

I don't like many possibilities. I don't like that life prolonging treatment could be withheld.

That's the status quo now. The only difference is life prolonging treatment is being withheld to more people, younger people now who cannot afford insurance.

I thought universal health care was communist/fascist/socialist.

[Theben]

It is. Just ask the Canuckistanis. Only terrorists want uni health care.

You idiot. No one is withholding anything. The market sets prices. What you want is the government to withhold things. You want the government in charge of everything. You are out of your mind, thinking the government is efficient. Would you want the government running your phone book company while you promote the hookup culture? Even Obama, who still has not produced evidence that he is not Rwandan, admitted the Post Office has problems while UPS gets it done.

"You're old. You don't fear death, since you believe in religion. NEXT!".

(a) There is no plan to withhold life-sustaining treatment. Rumors to the contrary are just right-wing fear mongering.

(b) Life-sustaining treatment is being withheld now, either because the patient is too poor to pay for the treatment, or because the insurance company is to evil to pay for it.

It's a good thing gay people can't breed

They can, you know. Even Jack on Will & Grace has a son.

How many times do you have to have sex with a woman before you aren't considered gay?

[loinburger]

The formula looks like
if([number of times you had sex with a woman] > [number of times you had sex with a man]) then straight
else if([number of times you had sex with a woman] = [number of times you had sex with a man]) then bisexual
else if([number of times you had sex with a woman] < [number of times you had sex with a man]) then gay
else throw new error("how did this happen oh god I'm not good with computers")

Of course there will be rationing under the public option, just as there is now. Its simply a question of what group the rationing mostly effects. Ezekiel Emanuel has clearly stated his belief in rationing based on age and he has the Presidents ear. Every social medical sytem that I have encountered (Britain, Canada, and Sweden) has rationing, and necessarily so. Resources are limited, we cannot provide all things to everyone. My main beef with Emanuels version is the weighting of importance based on age since it's too simplistic. For example, given limited resources wouldnt we rather save an elderly Albert Einstein than some 20 year old crackhead.
