Punishing families who can't afford health care to begin with just doesn't make sense

so the real healthcare reform you're talking about is price controls, not better healthcare. and that makes ME the moron? pffft. I realize that your socialist viewpoint colors your outlook, but what you're talking about implementing isn't socialism, it's outright communism.

Buzzwords aside .. which I'll leave to you .. what I'm talking about is good healthcare for all Americans. You pick the buzzword that makes you feel comfortable in opposition to that.

Just so you don't get it confused again .. I'm talking about Medicare for all Americans.

Call that whatever you want.

Price fixing is not just a BUZZWORD. It's an actual approach to controlling costs.

Rationing is the inevitable result of it. and...

rationing = death.

I understand you called for medicare in your other thread. I did not see it in this one. If you did and I missed it, my apologies.

You may want to recheck that thread. As I told you, the 30/70 structure is a minimum. Insurers can offer more generous co-pay structures if they wish.

what does that have to do with the issue at hand.....what the bill provides to those who cannot afford their own insurance is the minimum, thus a 30% copay with a $5k deductible....yet you just asked Damo for a source on that very issue.....if you already knew it, why did you ask for a source?......

"Non-profit" does not mean less expensive brother. "Profit" is determined by what's left over from expenses .. which includes CEO salaries and all manner of amenitie

Damo appeared to be making a comment about the French healthcare system that I think is not quite accurate. That's why I asked him for a source.


And I really have no idea what you are talking about. I recall you saying that you were upset because you have and 80/20 co-pay heath insurance plan and that BCBS will no longer be permitted to offer you the 80/20 plan and that you will be forced into a 70/30 plan. My recollection is that I pointed out to you that 70/30 was the minimum and that BCBS and any other private insurer is free to offer you an 80/20 to 90/10 or whatever plan. I though that was what you were referencing.
