Obviously

I'm not sure how this proves me wrong. If you want healthcare, you probably know where the nearest hospital is located. What you do is you go there, march up to the front desk and explain to whoever is there that you've got a a medical situation. You get asked a few questions, get handed some papers to fill out, and before long, you're sitting on a table telling a doctor where it hurts.

I think this is how it works these days, but to be honest, I'm not positive. My wife is in the administrative side of healthcare, so she handles all of that stuff. She takes me there and red carpets just start getting rolled out like roses at my feet to where I meet some guy who generally owes me a favor because I'm kinda in the business myself, he asks a few questions, and then a nurse takes over while my wife goes back to her office.

My point to all of this is that I'm probably not the most sympathetic person to your cause. I want to soak you for every penny you have, every penny in your bank account, and every penny you can borrow. I'm greedy like that.

Now if you're looking for some way to make your healthcare situation a bit cheaper, I can probably help with a few pointers, like asking your doctor to prescribe the cheap stuff. Very very few do, and what with lawyers around every corner, it's just safer to be able to say you did your very best just in case there's a malpractice lawsuit waiting in the wings. You can ask about out-patient alternatives, take a taxi instead of an ambulance. These are things that most people just don't care all that much except when it's time to pay, and then suddenly they're wondering why the car sales dude didn't try steering you towards that used pinto with 300k miles on the odometer instead of that brand new escalade you're suddenly being asked to pay for.

 

The babies. Haven't you heard? We must eat the babies.

 

We are all socialists until we grow up and earn our own money.

 

Why do you call medical care "healthcare"? Healthcare is a complex of diet and exercise.
Healthcare is a personal responsibility; it cannot be hired out.

The vast majority of medical care provided is necessitated because of a lack of healthcare.
Those who have no healthcare are not entitled to have other people then pay for their medical care. At some point, we need to let natural selection kick in.

 

I call it healthcare because that is the word used here in the US. If you want to call it "medical care", knock yourself out but it still remains the same question that you obviously understood but deflected with semantics (which is wrong, by the way) for a non answer. You made yourself look foolish. Do better.

 

I get the impression that you are in need of medical care because of a long term lack of healthcare on your part. Your sloth and torpor are catching up with you, and you want me to pay for it now. Well, that's not going to happen roy. That's not going to happen. You should have made better choices. Tuff luck buddy.

 

Agreeing with your premise and intent does not diminish the fact that you’ve conducted “over generalizations” which leave your arguments vulnerable to defeat.

Wow, so many words with so little said. Was there a point in there? This was like a stream of consciousness babble of someone that just left the dentist and is still under the influence.

 

First, I don't do impressions
Second, the only bad choice I have made recently is answering the post of someone that can't seem keep on point (that would be you). Thick as a brick.

 

The reader's digest version is that you're asking the wrong person about an alternative to obamacare. You'll just have to make do with what there is.

 

If you get your post-hs-bs-ms-grad education off of the TV and believe what they teach most likely you will end up much poorer than you would have been.
