Where are you coming up with the 20% number? 82% of all Americans (regardless of employment status) had health insurance before Obamacare.

You own words were "... if you remove the profit motive from medicine, competition will decrease, and bring with it all the negatives associated with that. Individual practitioner motivation and even skill would probably decline as well as treatment availability." I think you 100% correct...

You were the one who made the assertion. I was just agreeing with you. Are you recanting it now?

The guy who wrote this is a conservative so perhaps someone who supports Obamacare can point out any factual errors in it for me. It explains why over 50% of the coops are failing How Marco Rubio is quietly killing Obamacare Calling this ?a taxpayer-funded bailout for insurance...

Isn't that the main criticism of socialized medicine? I think you just had your epiphany. You should absolutely positively never remove the profit motive from anything. The key is making sure its the doctors, nurses, hospitals, medical device companies, pharmaceutical companies etc that...

There is currently a lot of waste, fraud and abuse in the U.S. healthcare system. Legit reforms that addressed that would have little to no impact on quality. Most likely they would lead to improvements in quality.

Here is the difference. Canadians come to America because the quality of healthcare is better. That article I linked pointed out the main reason why. Americans go somewhere else for healthcare because in many cases it costs significantly less money in other countries. The point pretty much...

So in order to cut costs you support the idea of cutting off healthcare to people who are terminally ill? If so who gets to make that decision?

Based on some of the reputation comments I'm seeing, there are some butthurt Canadians out there. Apologize if I offended you. If you guys like your socialized medicine, then more power to you. I don't really care if you're system is good or bad since I don't have to deal with it. I just see...

82% of Americans had health care coverage prior to Obamacare. Obamacare has increased that number by roughly 8%. BTW the wait times for services in Canada is well documented. Do you still count that as 'excellent" if you have to wait several weeks to see a physician?

I think you are close to having an epiphany. You at least now agree that the quality of healthcare in the US is superior. The key now is how to maximize the number of people who have access to it. The Democrats want to increase taxes and subsidize the premium costs to help low income...

I love it when someone accuses me of being stupid yet their own citation proves I was correct. Cad's reading comprehension skills are clearly lacking. His own citation confirmed what anyone with a functional brain already knew. The quality of healthcare in the US is clearly better than...

First off, thanks for confirming I was correct that US healthcare is superior to Canada's and that my chances of surviving cancer are higher in the US. Secondly, it is a collosal mistake on your part to believe the US healthcare industry resembles anything close to free market capitalism...

None of those graphics have anything to do with the quality of healthcare services available in either country. Take life expectancy. More Americans use illegal drugs and commit violent crimes than Canadians. Those combine to lower life expectancy in the US. Same for obesity. Poor...

I agree. Boggles my mind that people still support Obamacare even when presented with factual information about it. Why do you think so many doctors are opposed to it and claim it will make healthcare in the US significantly worse?

Does Canada health insurance provide free crack cocaine to its citizens? It must because you're the first person I've ever heard say Canadian healthcare meteics across the board are better than US healthcare. You make the mistake of combining quality with costs. In pure quality of services...

Simple question for you. If the only auto insurance available for you to purchase in your state was GEICO, do you think the cost would be higher or lower compared to if you had a choice to pick between GEICO, Allstate, Progressive or any other company that wanted your business?

Here in the US we have the Federal Trade Commision to prevent anticompetitive business practices. In theory at least. There is always the chance of corruption and that Big Insurance has bought them off.

No that's what you are saying because your a leftwinger who either don't have the honesty admit it makes sense and would work or you aren't smart to understand how competition would drive down insurance costs. Perhaps both apply.

OK I was in the process of typing out my last post when you posted this. How about this angle. The Employer Mandate component of Obamacare has been delayed multiple times. For now it is supposed to go into effect in January 2016. I believe the 40% tax on Cadillac plans kicks in as well...

Speaking of a dumb fucker. Your first sentence was correct but pretty much everything after that was Marxist BS. Americans want high quality healthcare at an affordable price. Thanks to what we already know about socialized medicine in Canada and Great Britain, we know that socialIzed...

Do you realize that the $2k fine per employee is significantly cheaper than what it costs for an employer to provide private insurance to an employee?

I'm playing a Sith warrior for the first time. I'm in the late teens and on Balmorra. Everyone in my guild has highly recommended that I romance Darkside Jaesa for the entertainment value. Now you recommend going light side for the entertainment value. Can your character go light side...

I could use some advice. The owners of the company I work for buy their employees a gift every Chrsitmas. They pick several different gifts, all between $300-$400 in value, and you get to pick which one you want. This year one of the gifts is a PS4 with the Battlefront bundle. I'm not a...

Are there any more new companion alerts after Doctor Lokin? I think you get the quest for Lokin at level 6 with the Hutt scientist. If the answer is No, what is the point of grinding out levels 7-20 influence with them?

Healers getting 48% buff Damage output getting 15% buff for both DPS and tank roles. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=856224

Neither can I on my IPhone. No problems opening them on my PC. Is that a known problem with IOS?

The whining on the forums about the companion nerf is pathetic. The companions were so OP that there was zero challenge in the game. What exactly is the point of playing any game if you automatically win everything? I did all 9 chapters, numerous Star Fortresses, and numerous Heroic 2s with...

I firmly believe you are 100% correct when you say this is easy as shit to produce in a pre-made engine. Since it is easy to produce, when will we see a similar demo for Our World?

Damn you're probably correct. Just went to the ATT website and its displayed as 18Mbps. Never occured to me that was bits and not bytes. Thanks

I currently have a GTX 560ti and its done a good job of running the MMOs I play (SWTOR and TESO primarily). I want to play Witcher 3 and eventually Fallout 4 so I need a better card, at least for Witcher 3. The local computer store who built my PC has a GTX 960 for $200. Is the 960 good...

I have AT&T Uverse DSL and paying $57 a month for minimum 18MB/sec bandwidth. However every MMO I have played recently (SWTOR, TESO, FF14, GW2) the max download speed when patching is 2.7 MB speed. I called ATT tech support and they directed me to a speed test website that says my download...

This is where I am at now with my main. AFAIK there is nothing left for me to do on my main except grinding influence with companions and alliance specialists. My companions are already OP and making everything in the game trivial so that is causing me to lose interest. Has anyone tried...

Are you a subscriber or FTP? I'm a subscriber and have never experienced what you described. DLed the entire patch and that was it.

You can also go the poor man's route and port to your stronghold and then use the exit to go to your starship.

Past couple of nights I ran Heroic 2s in order to get 5 supply crates to run the Star Fortress FPs. I am in full 208 gear bought with the basic comms. First time thru went with me in DPS spec (JK Vigilance) and companion in healing spec. At the end I killed the champion difficulty boss but...

I started building the alliance this weekend. I'm wondering if it will even have an impact on the storyline of future chapters. Can I just blow it off entirely and run my alts thru chapters 1-9 and just pick up where I left off when future chapters are released? As far as I can tell, the...

The unfriendly to alts comment was based on the premise that you typically had a LOT more AA points on your main character and any time spent on your alt meant no AA accumulation on your main.

I've read the back and forth between Utnayan and Popsicledeath. Both of you are making valid points and neither of you are wrong. As a Day 1 player of EQ, there a lot of things about that game that were a lot of fun (to the point I wanted to spend as much of my free time playing EQ as...
