The fantasy land, also known as Denmark, has only one insurance company, and thats the government.
Every resident gets free healthcare.

But thats just a fantasy land somewhere in the imaginary continent europe located in a galaxy thats far far away.

A tiny, homogenous country vs a huge and diverse country full of people who hate each other for a variety of reasons. Yeah, totally sounds like everyone in the U.S. will be totally happy with paying for all the upkeep of their "brothers", and that we can implement a "FREE UNIVERSAL" healthcare system NO PROBLEM.

Your retarded if you don't understand the implication of your idea...


Who pays for it?

Labor units are the base of the economy. You don't even get natural resources without mans labor.

So if a labor unit is needed to provide healthcare who provides it in your fantasy land?

Is the doctor forced to provide care for free?

Do we use the governments monopoly on legal violence to extract the cost from the society at large?

Dowe print dollars?


I don't know about you, but all of those sound faily immoral, and if anyone other than gov did any of those things they'd end up in jail.

But I know I know, the masters know best, and it works out perfect, they have conditioned whole generations to believe they are entitled to another mans labor for free, soon folks like me will be extinct and you can all live in communes where everything is free and gov is the answer.

"Retarded"? Really? Why? Oh a different opinion then yours. Got ya.

And to the programmer since he was 8. Ok what are the hackers that can easily steal this info gonna do with it? And how many "programmers" are gonna put in the time to get this info? And for what?

I think most people have a issue with who came up with the idea, not the idea itself.

I wouldn't say you're retarded, but "horribly misinformed and naive" is correct.

Use your imagination.

Right. It's all about racism, obviously.

Yes retarded, and immoral. Not because of differing opinions but because you think the government should steal from producers (everyone really) to pay for others.


Your right, im raciss, doesnt change the fact my post was truth.

Sell it to those who desire this confidential info? I know I might be going out on a limb here but what do you think hackers steal private data for?


Why not just allow health care to operate within the free market where doctors and medical providers compete for their customers business thus resulting in cheaper and better service. Then people could afford for someone to service their health needs just as they could afford to have their brakes changed.


Again, if the forefathers of our country wanted the government controlling all sorts of aspects of our lives they would have specified such in The Constitution (everyone for mandated health care know what that is yet!?). There is a reason they gave no such control. It becomes destructive against 'We the People' where decisions are made based on private agenda of the "rulers".

If you want "free" health care go live somewhere else. America is supposed to be a Republic. - less government and more liberty!

Hacker steals my medical records, sells them to someone for some reason...Im not sure what the black market is for medical records.....but lets say someone wants to use them against you in a court battle. If you haven't signed off on them there;s this thing called hipaa. Or if the courts subpena's them then it doesnt matter what form they are in they will get them......

Now some might take those of us who are not totally against "Obamacare" as looking for handouts or think we have an entitlement for something and thats not it. I do feel for those people who has worked all their lives and cant afford good healthcare. I would want my kids to go to college, and with most useful degrees going from 4 years to 6 plus, this will enable kids of working class middle class family to put their kids through school. Without the worry of healthcare. WE THE PEOPLE or I THE PERSON

I guess its all in how you read we the people.

Are their gonna be free loaders who take advantage of this yes. but you will have that with everything.

Its cool Flower I understand were you are coming from. There are good and bads to everything. Not necessarily right and wrong.

Yea.. its cool.

I'm not against health care. I'm against forced healthcare merely because it gives the government a right that they were never given... for a reason.

It sets precedence as they try to extract tax to pay for their deficits/fraud/etc. They are broke and desperate. What will they mandate after this?

Buy a house or pay a penalty....
Buy a hybrid car or pay a penalty....
Use credit cards or pay a penalty...
Pay this tax or pay a penalty...

See where I'm going with this? The US Government is broke. The states are broke. The federal government runs on borrowed/created/pixie-dust money. There is no money. Socialism doesn't work as you will always run out of people's money. I just want to retain our Liberties as our economy collapses.

Besides, ACA isnt going to work anyways as the middle-class uninsured are still not going to buy health care. Insurance costs will still continue to be increased thus results in higher taxes/more mandates/more government intervention (which never works).... and less freedom.


I don't want to see sick old people unable to afford health care either.
Whats plan B is all I'm asking?



I'm outta this one though. Good posts all around.

It's called life. Sorry, there isn't, and will never be any all powerful force that can plan your entire life for you and pay for everything so that you never have to think or take responsibility for anything. It's up to you to take care of yourself, not me.

See the bold in my quote above.

So it's not free, working people pay for everyone.

I'm not making anyone decide between a doctor or food, their choices in life and probably a whole lot of bad circumstances put them in that position not me.

Life is never going to be fair, but to use governments monopoly on violence to extract wealth from the society to pay for your problems is theft, period.

As it stands now THC in your system can void your healthcare. Think that will improve?
i think in the future you would see mandatory "treatment" for "addicts" had we gotten a single payer system.
we have a strong tendency to enforce "morals" with government in this country.
it is never the intended consequences that bite us in the ass.
so the current admin may not abuse the ACA but what safeguards are in place to prevent future incarnations from doing so?

i think the money would do better having never been taken from it's rightful owners in the first place.

LOL yeah if you ever see that anywhere let me know lol. If your going to have to give up 3 months of a years wages to WAR . Don't you think it would be better spent on health care instead of WAR? imvho stay safe headband 707:tiphat:

no, because if we spent billions on unnecessary tests and doctor visits and prescriptions, going to the doctor to get stitches would cost a 1000 bucks without coverage, or, an in and out arthroscopic knee surgery would cost 20k, and prescriptions would cost 10 dollars a pill.




oh, wait......




kinda like "everyone needs a college degree", and now a 4 year degree is 80,000 at a good college, instead of 10,000 25 years ago, when we had more manufacturing jobs where college was unnecessary and wages were higher in relation to cost of living.

not that college is bad, but with a first year drop out rate of somewhere around 35%, its clear some people shouldn't be advancing to higher institutions.
