Why do not even blink at the trillions we spend in our military and with contracted defense companies, but you start hyperventilating at the idea of spending more money for much needed health care reform?Originally posted by DinoDoc View PostIs that code for refuse to massively raise taxes on the people of his state?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

Given that the comment he responded to was about Rick Perry's actions, your's and Fun's response seem to be non sequiturs.Originally posted by Oncle Boris View PostSo you agree with Obamacare if the Fed takes 100% of the tab?
Interesting development

California is 13th best at financial health when one looks at deficit to GDP. That's after years of being battered by the recession and the resulting drop in state revenue. It had a surplus as recently as 2008. BTW in 2010 it was down to 26th but the state has really made efforts to cut spending and fiddle with service fees so it's financial position has greatly improved even while other state's have worsened.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Yes, this is a 2009 chart. No, I doubt much has changed.

If you go back to 2000, the state was in the top 10. California's gone from being one of the most fiscally sound states to a craphole in just the last 12 years.California is 13th best at financial health when one looks at deficit to GDP. That's after years of being battered by the recession and the resulting drop in state revenue. It had a surplus as recently as 2008.

Health insurance doesn't actually cover the things I need. So rather than pay for insurance, I save up to buy the things I do need.A lot of people, such as myself, cannot afford to pay a monthly premium for health insurance.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

So it's sad that people choose to pay as they go rather than pay for insurance when they don't need it? That's actually a rational, economic decision. If one is relatively healthy and doesn't engage in any high risk behaviours, why spend megabucks on healthcare insurance, when you can save that money and spend much less to deal with things as they crop up?I said it's sad that a quarter of the population is without insurance.
Why is it ridiculous? If you're getting in a car accident that's bad enough that you can't walk away from - you have more serious problems than debt. This is why you drive carefully and don't drive like a dumbass Torontonian.It's ridiculous that a quarter of Texas' population is a bad car wreck away from being indebted for the rest of their life.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

And that is precisely why it is a bad law. If we went the Canada route, we'd be in better shape. Even the UK route would be a marginal improvement.Originally posted by DinoDoc View PostWhat amuses me is that none of the reforms in Obamacare actually brings down the cost curve in the right direction as evidenced by the fact that CBO estimates of the cost of coverage keep going up."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine
