Box, I say it all the time about SISSY... You can explain it to him but you can't understand it for him!
I think Cicero understands it just as much as Box/Joe.....
you guys/gals use different words to validate it's 'rightness'.......because you said so.....
subsidize either way is still subsidize
choice is NOT the same under either circumstance......this I know for a fact because I work in healthcare....you both know very well what happens to government mandated/subsidized/regulated systems....YOU WERE BOTH IN THE MILITARY...
let's hear it for the VA and 'orders'....
in the military EVERY grunt is expendable but the government stooge that turns the wheel or flips the switch(generals/etc) are not that expendable....
that's your health'care' making a level field between the haves/nots....
there is only so much ammunition to spread around to the grunts so the government will make sure it's regulated and use them as pawns and the 'lacking body armor' podium speeches......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Uninsured Sheriff Who Fought Obamacare Struggles To Pay Medical Bills So BOARD Right Wingers, Oath Kreapers, Libertarians, Anti Govt & TeaBaggers, BE SURE TO DONATE TO THIS POOR SLOB'S MEDICAL BILLS!
Former Arizona county sheriff Richard Mack, a fierce opponent of Obamacare and a leader in the "constitutional sheriff" movement, is struggling to pay his medical bills after he and his wife each faced serious illnesses. The former sheriff and his wife do not have health insurance and started a GoFundMe campaign to solicit donations from family and friends to cover the costs of their medical care.
Quoted Text
"Because they are self-employed, they have no medical insurance and are in desperate need of our assistance," reads a note on Mack's personal website.
Mack, the founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, suffered a heart attack in January and is in recovery. His wife fell ill late last year. Mack is on the board of Oath Keepers, a right-wing fringe group made up of police and military veterans, and is known for supporting Cliven Bundy in his standoff against the federal government. He is also an ardent opponent of Obamacare.
This guy believers in FREEDOM to die from lack of health care coverage, as long as it isn't him who is doing the dying.

I'm already paying for yours and millions of others at the VA or on Medicaid, what is one more?

Sorry Cicero, but you're not paying for mine! Not at the VA or on Medicaid! (Yet another Cissy Fail)

Why Republicans Will Never Have a Health Care Plan
Quoted Text
“All the Republican predictions have failed. Just this week, the Congressional Budget Office once again revised down its cost projections for the law, which is now projected to cost 20 percent less than originally estimated. Given conservative certainty that the opposite would occur, you might expect some revision. But conservatives have not abandoned or even reduced their fervent opposition to Obamacare. This is because the right’s specific, measurable predictions about the law are subordinate to deeper, philosophical beliefs.”
“They oppose the law’s methods (more taxes, spending, and regulation) on principle. They believe those methods will fail to achieve their stated goals, but even if they succeed, they oppose them anyway. Republicans cannot design a partywide health-care alternative because they cannot reconcile the specific things most Americans want from the health-care system (access to affordable insurance, protection from discrimination against preexisting conditions) with their ideological commitments.”

~ 105 million People no longer have a lifetime limit on their health coverage
~ Up to 129 million People with pre-existing conditions are no longer at risk of being denied coverage
~ ZERO Death panels were created
