Oh and what the hell was als463 talking about with Jena 6 and stuff? Oh well.

I'm still not sure about the uproar over this health bill. My bet is that 95% of the people on both sides of the issue (especially those who are pissed off and trying to kick ass over it) don't know what the uproar is really over. Was this thread ever really about the bill or was it a side convo about doctor and general health insurance stuff?

quickly went that way with a side of crazy

I work for Papa Palpatine. He's not too crazy about letting good workers go.

Four out of five of the uninsured were in working families.

Are they lazy? The ones who work but their employers don't provide health insurance? Oh? Should they get new jobs with employers that provide it? Problem is, there are not enough jobs with employers who provide health insurance for everybody to have such a job.

AGDee, I see your point. The only issue I have is that people are in charge of their own destiny. In fact, as a college student in a graduate program, I no longer have health care. Did I choose this lifestyle? Yes. I chose to be in graduate school. It is like teachers who "strike" for more pay. It annoys me because they knew they were going into a job which paid them about $35,000 a year (which is more than many caseworkers make) and they get 3 months off for summer break, yet they think they are entitled to more money. Then, some of those teachers get summer jobs. I mean, really?

If you chose a career path with little to no insurance, that is your own fault. I am owning up to my choice to not have it. It sucks. Yes, but I chose to go back to school. Thoughts?

Oh God forbid that anyone but DS has a problem with the crap you type out.

Let's see, you claimed that I make my org look bad...

You talk about teachers (which you aren't, and really have no idea about)

and then you come out with this stupid crap. Oh but wait, your best friends are black, aren't they? Why don't you say this shit to them?

I don't know much about that Mumbia cop killer (I never read up on it, and don't really care) but, you come off as someone who would have fought for the Jena 6. I bet you stood behind them, didn't you?

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah it never ceases to amaze me the shit you come up with too. You are more than welcome to your opinion, just like I'm welcome to mine. But when you decide to insult people and things you have NO IDEA about (even though you claim to) then that is where the problem comes in.


ETA: People have told you STOP replying to Rasputn...aka MadMax. How about you do a search for "madmax" and see if you can figure out why.

She has a job. That means no time for searches! Or reading! Or comprehension!

We should take care of it, since we're all lazy and using up unemployment anyway.

Please, please, please don't bring the Jena 6 into this. That is a tiny, backwards hole in the wall in north Louisiana. There are so many facets to that story that you don't know about, and that no one outside the state of Louisiana knows about. Those kids were not treated fairly, and several white kids got away with some pretty bad things. In the end a few of the 6 got arrested for crimes later and people want to say, "See, they're just thugs and got what they deserved." Which is crap. What they did is wrong, but the punishment should fit the crime.

I'm betting if you suffer a premature stroke or heart attack and end up in ICU, you will also happily accept those services from the hospital, which eats the cost because YOU chose not to have health insurance.

A mechanic wouldn't fix your car without you paying them. Why should hospitals have to care for people who choose not to have insurance? THIS is the main reason that health care is so expensive (among many other reasons, admittedly). The health care system I work for GAVE AWAY more than $150,000,000 in free health care last year alone. Why? Because they HAVE TO BY LAW.

Your lifestyle choice can cost others a lot of money. The government or parent subsidized health insurance available to you under this plan costs LESS in the long run.

Well, they don't eat the cost, exactly. They pass it along to the rest of us.
