    Yes I did. That's why I want the liberals and government out of health care.

    I don't quite follow you here. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "then its private industry that will run the single payer system."?

    And you've backed it up with your own brand of logical reasoning:

    I don't know the full details of the trigger and it is likely still be worked out. That said according to the latest news there is going to be health care exchanges to address cost. Also regarding the mandate by increasing the pool of those insured also increases the amount of the pool of money to draw upon for payouts so it is still possible to control costs while also increasing the amount of insured even with a public option.

    As I said before the season isn't over and now isn't the time to tank, scrap health care reform. There are still a lot of details still to be worked out.

    I thought you are the one who want people who could not afford health care to drop dead?

    I thought you want everyone to pay for medical treatment at true cost. You say that will drop treaments like by pass from couple hundred K down to maybe 100K and if you cannot afford that you should just die? Wasn't that you?

    You are not entitled to things you can not afford. But that is not wishing someone to drop dead, silly socialist. That is wishing for health care to be affordable as possible. However, Liberals do not want health care to be affordable as possible. That makes them cry.

    So basically you are saying 95% of the old people should just drop dead because without medicare those people cannot afford to pay for their medical treatments.

    Silly Socialist, they built a highway for me, but I couldn't afford it, so i don't drive on them, so I go no where

    And those stupid ass socialists, they built these things where I could get some learning, but I don't believe in that, so I'm just an ignorant socialist hater.

    Lord have mercy

    I would replace the broke Medicare program with private charity from liberal atheist organizations.

    You should replace Ron Paul youtube videos with an actual education, including good old fashioned book learning.

    It will help you move out of the basement someday. Where you currently wallow in a smelly puddle of Randian failure.

    We should go back to the old days where all schools are private and 80% of the people have little to no education. No social security where old people are always poor and cannot afford health care. That will really advance this nation to great heights.

    ^ why the Ron Paul revolution failed, his base consists predominantly of unhinged, half-crazy old white people and kids who will one day become unhinged, half-crazy old white people.

    I wonder how people like Refman and some other well reasoned conservatives can coexist with these type of Republican base? They don't even belong on the same planet it looks like.

    Maybe it's a hearing aid issue, but I'm going to try again.
