Random Politics & Religion #26

Who cares about that? He's got a picture of a two helmet cat!

Congrats you just described every single politician in the US Government, on both sides of the isle.

It's beautiful how things just go right over some of P&R's more self-righteous posters heads.

I like to refer to total earnings as magical non-existant pixie money after KN through a fit over that.

According to CNN the Trump administration is falling apart and it's only a matter of time before Trump is gone.

Yeah that level of delusion.

Well, the Trump agenda certainly fell apart last night, his lack of leadership bearing the blame. Also, nowhere on the CNN website does it say its only a matter of time before Trump is gone. But there will be no tax reform this year (probably never) and Obamacare is here to stay.

I've never seen someone so proud that the complete failures of his hero get to stick around and stink up the place for a little longer. That being said, I'm going to tuck this little prediction into my pocket for later use.

As long as they are democrats I am sure the GOP will be fine with it.

Priebus fired over Twitter lol

no shocker there, it was never meant to be perm. Rance headed back to rnc

Priebus was chosen to be the guy to bring the never-Trumpers on board in the Republican Party. He failed miserably. Also, if he is the leaker he should be in prison.

Total dysfunction. Now a general is the Chief of Staff? He can't do anything.

As long as they are all Republicans I'm 100% sure the democrats would have signed on it already.

Except most of those at risk are conservative leaning. or, at the very least, Trump leaning.

The most at risk are the people with jobs who are paying out the nose for health insurance thanks to the "Affordable" Care Act.

I'd say the people at risk are the poor people who can't afford insurance without the ACA.

Particularly those with pre-existing conditions. Who are primarily older people. Which means Florida and Middle America. Who were among Trumps largest voting base.

Makes you wonder what they did before ACA was enacted.

If you go by the liberals/mindless sheep bleating, you would have thought that people were dying by the billions if it wasn't for Obamacare....

That's what Medicaid is for. One of the major goals behind repealing the ACA is to make insurance cheaper by increasing market competition, so I don't see how poor people who don't qualify for Medicaid are going to be negatively affected.


This is the biggest load of bull being pushed around by the Left, and it's nothing more than a scare tactic. Even under the AHCA that was supposedly designed to kill every old and poor person alive, only a tiny fraction of the population would fall under this category (lived in a waiver state, didn't maintain continuous coverage, didn't have medicaid, medicare, work insurance, etc.), and even then there were federally funded provisions and state high-risk pools to subsidize such costs.

With that in mind, the premise of feeling like you have the right to willfully not pay for health insurance when you're healthy but nevertheless feel like an insurance company should be forced to accept you when something bad happens is ludicrous and non-existent in practically every other form of insurance. But since even those dastardly Republicans won't let such people die no matter what Elizabeth Warren says, some of those costs would be covered where they should be covered - as welfare.

Interesting thing about Charlie Gard.

His story is a story that's a perfect example of what socialized medicine does. And this is what the democrats/liberals strive for.

The so-called party of compassion is really the party of uncaring. A perfect example of direct desire for making people suffer.

This, my friends, is what Obamacare is striving for. Charlie Gard is just one of many who, thanks to socialized medicine, are killed by the government for being different.

Counter hyperbole with even bigger hyperbole.

What did socialized medicine have to do with a child inevitably dying of a terminal illness?

Pass the bills off onto their kids when they died. Life insurance can cover a fair bit, but those bills don't magically disappear.

Not only prevent that terminally ill child from receiving treatment, but also took the choice away from both the child and the parents.

Not only did the kid die from the heartless bureaucracy you so praise, but that same bureaucracy prevents the kid from receiving even a chance to receive treatment, even when that treatment could have saved his life.

Let's not forget how many people died while on Medicaid waiting lists because of lack of care. Isn't that what Medicaid supposed to do, take care of the sick and needy? Isn't that your whole defense on expanding Medicaid?

Face it, you want to create a system where people would die because of the lack of care it causes, and you want to pat yourself on the back pretending like you care about those who you feel should get the treatment they desire. Mind you, these very people who are on Medicaid never was denied access to healthcare before Obamacare, but that's a fact you like to ignore.

Luckily for my dads side of the family, his brother in law is a nuclear engineer for Cordova and was able to handle things with no issues.

Battling cancer for most of a decade without insurance is expensive though.

So, you think it's better to pass off the bills to everyone instead? And not only pass off the bills, but make the bills much greater because you feel like causing more deaths to pass it on to those who actually work and pay for such services?

Seriously, do you think people were denied healthcare before ACA? Do you think hospitals turned away patients because their income bracket was lower than their own?

Are you that stupid, or did you have to work at the level of stupidity you portray?

So, your father chose to not have insurance, and because he chose it, you demand that others don't even have the choice?
