    Please show us where this hyper-capitalistic utopian society that you conservatives espouse actually exists. A land free of governmental regulation and social safety nets. Are you arguing that health care before Obummercare was passed was working out great and in the best interests of our...

    We have ten times the population and ten times the GDP, your flimsy excuse is, well, flimsy. If scaling up never works then please explain to us why we can have the largest military force in the history of humanity and it isn't an abject failure? Obamacare is going to suck because it's not...

    Who doesn't like inflating their egos on a message board? That's kind of the point no? Still doesn't make you or anything you say any less retarded.

    Apologies for the incoming derail, but was anyone else extremely disappoint with the latest Star Trek? Maybe I was in a bad mood that day, but it just seemed like a Michael Bay explosion/special effects shitfest with no real substance to it.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Well, most Texans have a huge chip on their shoulder and always like to refer to Texas as it's own country, but the culture, traditions, religion, food, and racism are most definitely of the Southern flavor. I've lived down here almost twenty years and I would definitely consider it part of the...

    Nah, that's impossible. He's certainly got Merlin beat on blind rage, but nothing can compete with the years of consistent stupid that Merlin has churned out. Seal Team six, liberal polls, increase defense spending to avoid the imminent Chinese invasion, etc. Merlin is the Cal Ripken Jr. of dumb.

    WTF are you even talking about?

    Ya, same in Texas. It's a bit easier if you are pregnant, but a single guy has to make below $5k i think. My summer internship was enough to disqualify me for that. So for people in states that didn't expand Medicaid, you don't get federal ACA subsidies until you hit the poverty line, $15kish...

    My thoughts are that Medicaid should be expanded to give basic coverage to every single citizen of the U.S. while retaining the private insurance market for people that want cadillac coverage or doctors that are outside of Medicaid. Everyone gets what they want. The private market will...

    Thanks, I appreciate that. But what is the solution? If you leave it up to the states and live in a deeply red state like I do, private corporations are allowed to run roughshod over the citizenry with little or no oversight, and people in the margins like myself are left out in the cold...

    Also, my lack of insurance caused me to try and tough it out an extra day instead of immediately going to the ER. That delay caused my appendix to rupture and consequently I stayed an extra 4 days in the hospital, costing much more money that will be passed on to the consumer. Privatization yo!

    I think corruption, ineptitude, and complexity permeates every aspect of private healthcare. I think it's further compounded by a focus on profit motive, hence the greediness. I just had an $84,000 appendectomy six months ago. I'm a full-time student that couldn't afford health insurance...
