Dark Sovereign: @Neeneko: Sorry, should have said two emergencies. I get vaccines (no flu shots. Never got the flu either) and check ups. Why is that a threat to anything?
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:13pm
E. Zachary Knight: I agree DS. That is the central idea of the libertarian healthcare plan.
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:13pm
Neeneko: @DS - because even though you've done ok, such behavior is a threat to everyone around you and the GDP in general.
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:13pm
Dark Sovereign: @EZK: I like that too. Remember though: the libertarians worship the cult of free market, just like I do.
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:12pm
Dark Sovereign: I have seen a doctor for a cure twice in my entire life. Why can't I just pay for my rare emergencies myself?
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:11pm
E. Zachary Knight: Personally, I like the libertarian idea of a tax free medical savings account and healthcare costs that are tax deductable.
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:10pm
Dark Sovereign: Not everybody needs healthcare. Not everybody wants it. You would force such people into a system they don't want to be in.

Dark Sovereign: @scribe: Where will this come from? Why should we do just children? Why shouldn't we give the market a shot?
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:08pm
E. Zachary Knight: Especially because we have so many harmful substances being sold regularly, as well as a lack of interest in personal fitness.
Posted 08/28/08 at 03:07pm
E. Zachary Knight: I agree, we need more focus on preventative care. But unforunately, that would be hard for people to accept.
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:46pm
scribe999: a combination of deregulation along with basic national coverage for children and the impoverished to create a safety net.
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:45pm
scribe999: where the US spends MUCH more per capita than Canadians on Healthcare despite not having a nationalized system. I suggest...
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:44pm
scribe999: Fact is, our care in this country is sick care. We wait for a crisis cuz we can't afford preventative care. This raises costs..
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:42pm
scribe999: And my answer to the libertarians on Propanolol? Maybe there should have been MORE roadblocks for Vioxx.
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:38pm
scribe999: It's only a free market if I can choose not to have the product at all...healthcare is NECESSARY like water and sewage.
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:30pm
E. Zachary Knight: Check this out (healthcare) http://www.lp.org/issues/healthcare
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:29pm
scribe999: To pay for this, the Rep controlled govt has increased borrowing. In 2006, 44% of U.S. public debt was in foreign hands.
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:25pm
scribe999: spending to the tune of a $400 trillion deficit. Again, budget was balanced 9 years ago.
Posted 08/28/08 at 02:24pm
scribe999: DS: So people who CAN'T pay, can just go screw themselves. Meanwhile, the Republicans cut taxes broadly, but expanded govt.

sortableturnip: @MaskedPixelante: There are 2 Thompsons...the one he wants people to see on TV and the one that unleashes the bile online
