At least someone understand where I'm going. Wouldn't this arguably be tax payers dollars at work?

Yes, but working for things not supported by people with those types of beliefs. Right-leaning thought is generally less government, less regulations, less taxes, less everything except "freedom". Leftists generally are happy paying more tax in order to support more regulation, government programs and policies to help promote the general welfare.
I've been seeing these types of debates on facebook lately. I'm amazed how the GOP made over 50 attempts to repeal The ACA.

 

I'll give this a shot and try not to make anything political.

 

 

I didn't quote it, but you asked about universal healthcare. So the ACA is about mandatory insurance for everyone. Insurance doesn't equal healthcare, it's just a middleman. So were talking about a program that forces you to buy a product that you may not need, and does nothing to make you healthy. Forcing you to purchase a product goes fundamentally against the Constitution. As a side note, they call it a 'tax' thanks to John Roberts, may you forever burn in hell. (politics sorry sorry)

 

I was in the hospital yesterday as a mater of fact. Sinusitis yay! So I have no insurance (yeah come and get me irs) and had to pay out of pocket. Visit and medicine were just less than $200 bucks. Say I had insurance, most deductibles are quite high now, so I probably would have paid most of that anyways. Does it make sense to buy a product that you use rarely like I do? And yes I know this is mainly targeted at expensive hospital treatments, but the same deductibles apply. Some of them are in the $4,000 to $5,000 dollar range. In my opinion that isn't very affordable.

 

Now the claim made was that there were 30-40 million Americans without healthcare aka insurance. Last report I saw was about 8-9 million of those had signed up for ACA. So we've upended the insurance model in favor of bringing in 8-9 million people. A noble attempt, but not worth the high cost.

 

I don't think any sensible person is making the case for winner-take-all healthcare. We need a healthy society, even for the poorest amongst us. I think the argument is HOW to accomplish that. Mandatory insurance, provided at the expense of the American taxpayers isn't the way to get there in my opinion.

 

We should find ways to reduce the insane costs of healthcare (and higher education to roll into your other point). There is a lot of over expenditures and redundancy in the system. I believe as a result of insurance, but that aside. There is lots of layers of bureaucracy between the doctor and patient. I can't tell you how many forms I had to fill out yesterday. Part of that has to do with litigation. One way to reduce costs would be tort reform and the reduction of onerous regulations regarding the healthcare sector. That's where I'd start.

 

Now to the GOP side. One thing you need to remember is there is two factions in the republican party right now. You've got the leadership/establishment and the tea party. Tea party is kinda a misnomer because it isn't a political party, though it could be in the near future. I think a better team is Constitutional Conservatives. So you have the leadership of a political party that is more-or-less at odds with their base. The 50 votes that you talk about were show votes. Members could go back and claim that they are against Obamacare (sorry ACA) when they really weren't. That helped the establishment candidates fight off any primary opponents as well.

 

The only real challenge was during the government shutdown. Sens Cruze and Lee proposed funding everything except the ACA portion of the budget. Dems, who had control of the Senate at the time, balked at the proposal and hence the shutdown. The buckle came from the establishment side of the republican party. They didn't want the blame, even though they went on to win the senate...morons. So don't pay any attention to the show votes, follow the money. Congress has control of the purse, if they don't use that power, what good are they?

 

Sorry for the long post, hope that helps :^:

 

 

Wow. I saw the size of the text and the issue and am very impressed in your ability to "keep it clean". Bravo. :^:

Why don't stores such as Target and Wal-Mart carry gram scales? There are uses for them besides weighing out your weed. I searched every store in the county before I ended up finding one at Harbor Freight.

because you can buy them at bed bath & beyond or staples? or any head shop

Why can't I PM some members in the forums? There's no PM option, only to find content.

If they don't have 10 posts they can't send nor recieve PM's.

I assume so people can't make accounts simply to send harassing PMs, among other reasons.

A while back there was an absolute flood of spambots signing up and sending death threats to members over the PM system. The only way to deal with them was to limit new users from being able to send PMs.

What's the point of having a 10 post minimum to have access to PMs?

to weed out the spam, a lot of car forums do the same before you can post things for sale

I have a job interview at Chuck e' Cheese's as a game room attendant. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst, how bad is it?

Dinner will probably score you more pussy points. Take her somewhere "fancy."
