At the point of a gun?
What in the f*ck are you talking about?
Why don't you dumbasses just pay your doctor yoursleves like the idiot ObamaCare objectors claim to be the best health care plan. And leave the government out of it.
God you people are stupid.
JP| 4.4.11 @ 7:21AM
We would love to leave the goverment out of it -beginning with mandated HMO and PPO plans and ending with Medicare.
Man, you are a moron!
Oldefarte| 4.4.11 @ 11:45AM
Maybe the solution is to completely EILIMINATE/DISBAN Medicare [and Obama's WELFARECARE and Johnson's Medicaid also], and completely reimburse the taxes [actually premiums] paid by taxpayers that are forced to pay for. Since Medicaid recipients don't pay for their benefits, naturally there would be no reimbursement to these indigents. Thereafter, everyone would be free to purchase PRIVATE INSURANCE INDUSTRY healthcare products that best suited their individual needs. Oh, and the indigents of Medicaid would no longer have health insurance benefits....gee what a crying shame [boo hoo hoo!]. Problem solved, Harp-the-MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Curtis Rasmussen| 4.4.11 @ 12:28PM
After stopping these deleterious welfare programs, stop the government from over-regulating the healthcare industry into extinction.
Allow carriers to cross state borders.
Stop all the 'must carry' crap that inflates plan fees.
Get lawyer greed and corruption under control.
Allow insurers to focus particular ailments into insurance pools to significantly reduce costs through buying power.
jharp| 4.4.11 @ 12:43PM
"Allow carriers to cross state borders."
God you people are stupid.
Carriers can sell insurance in whatever state they choose. They have to follow the rules of that state of course, you know states rights and all.
How can you people be so effing stupid?
Curtis Rasmussen| 4.4.11 @ 1:02PM
Troll alert. Don't feed the troll.
Oldefarte| 4.4.11 @ 4:49PM
YOU STUPID MORON! No one can buy health insurance outside of their individual/residential state. YOU ARE A STUPID FOOL and a DUMBARS to boot. Its one thing to be stupid, but to proudly acknowledge same is the height of imbicilism!!!!!!
jharp| 4.4.11 @ 12:40PM
"Thereafter, everyone would be free to purchase PRIVATE INSURANCE INDUSTRY healthcare products that best suited their individual needs"
No they wouldn't you effing dumbass. That is exactly the problem.
Without ObamaCare those with pre existing conditions cannot buy insurance.
God you people are stupid.
Oldefarte| 4.4.11 @ 4:53PM
You are an idiot! New York, Florida etc insurance carriers offer economical insurance plans that are only purchasable by NY residents, you DUMB TWIT! What rock do you live under, you stupid pig???????????
Oldefarte| 4.4.11 @ 4:56PM
Moron, I'll tell you about pre-existing conditions. these are mostly welfare recipients who are too lazy, too stupid to acquire health insurance using their own/empty wallets. 90% of pre emptions exist upon company-group health insurance plan coverages so they are COVERED [you dumb hick]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oldefarte| 4.4.11 @ 4:59PM
With EL CHOSEN ONE'S '''''WELFARECARE''''' now you will be able to stoay on MOMMIE & DADDY'S plan until youre 26 [but since you are a RETARD, they'll allow you to permanently remain on same no doubt]!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey folks, at least one communist, (pardon the shorthand), got out of bed early this morning.
Congratulations, Jharp!
OK, you can go take a nap now.

My debate with my college prof in 1968 is continually being manifested. I called Medicare, generation warfare. Eventually old people would be considered "overhead" and "disposable". First they make you pay, then they help you, then they own you, then they eliminate you.
