>moving to Canada because of Obamacare
It's like people don't even try to research stuff anymore.
I knew that you were joking, but I've saw several facebook screencaps about people moving to Canada because of it.
:nu:
It was a joke, I know plenty about Canada.

You mean that I might be able to see a doctor for the first time in 4 years, because taxes might be raised a little?
Oh no
better
leave
the
country
I honestly don't know wtf it's about so someone please explain. I'm assuming it's just to switch to a health care system similar to Canada's?Basically it's forcing everyone in America to get healthcare. Not exactly like Canada's but closer to it.
I thought it was a step closer to free healthcare?
Though I haven't researched it much.
Free healthcare = "Joe cantLast time I checked, it wasn't making Bob/Sam by Joe/Don insurance, unless Joe/Don worked for Bob/Sam.affordbe bothered with his own healthcare, but Bob could pay for two. Fuck Bob."
And don't give me that "do it for the children" bullshit. You make me spend my hard earned money for the "children", I'm taking my hard earned money elsewhere.
Even this idea of making insurance companies not able to judge based on certain reasonable criteria means that healthy 19 year old Sam has to pay more so that sick ass Don can get cheap ass insurance. Its all the same shit -- it just means that people will wait to get health insurance till they're sick. Wait... we HAVE to buy insurance? Shits unconstitutional -- you can regulate a preexisting industry with taxes, but you cant tax a non-existing industry (people who don't want health insurance) into existence. Since the underpinning premise (people wont get health insurance unless they need it) is broken, the whole thing is broken.
Give Scalia's response to the supreme court decision a read, might teach you a thing or two.
Last time I checked, it wasn't making Bob/Sam by Joe/Don insurance, unless Joe/Don worked for Bob/Sam.
Maybe I'm taking what you said out of context, but you're saying that you don't want a tax raise so every US citizen would have healthcare? It seems like you're more of an 'all for one' type of person.
Also, people who don't want health insurance are just plain dumb. What's more dumb is when they give stupid reasons why they don't want to pay for it ("Jesus/God is my insurance!", etc.) Hospital bills are expensive as shit, so if they are in more of a financial hole if they get hurt as to if they actually paid for healthcare. They do the same thing for car insurance, so I don't see why it's so bad to do it on life insurance.
It's more of a common sense thing, not a "HEY! BUY THIS FOR THIS GUY AND THAT GUY BECAUSE YOU MAKE TWICE WHAT THEY MAKE" type of thing.

Bump.
You seem to have a blatant lack of empathy for your fellow, but less fortunate American. There are people UNDER the poverty line who cannot afford to eat proper food, let alone visit a doctor for their pre-existing type 1 diabetes. And while they are living in substandard conditions, you're whining about how your disposable income will be taxed more. What a fucking selfish mentality.

Darwinism at work. Why should I worry about the average homeless man if he has absolutely nothing to do with me? If I pass by one, sure I'll give some of my change if I'm carrying any, but for the most part it's their own fault they don't have any money. You reap what you sow in this society.The thing is that most most millionaires/billionaires get to this level by exploiting the system, lobbying, etc. They do 'reap what you sow' but by fucking with the system.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Darwinism should not apply to man made structures of society.
It is not evolution that I was born into a poor family, had a bad education, and cannot afford schooling.
The underlying problem here is money; not that I am less of a specimen than you.

Many people have been able to rise from the depths of that, it's not a valid excuse for not being able to become successful. There are many roads to success, and quite a few of them don't need you to be born into royalty.
I disagree. The reason low income areas still exist is because of lack of the things I've mentioned.
Because most people don't know how to rise above, exactly why it's Darwinism.
On everything else, sure, my childhood would've been absolute dicks. But I wouldn't try to wallow in the same pool my dad did. I'd try to rise, and if I failed I'd try harder.
I should've never got in this conversation with you.
