We don't ration on ability to pay for emergency care now. If you need emergency care you get emergency care irrespective of ability to pay.

fixed.

You just repeated the fallacious argument of why Social Security should be left alone. You didn't even address Cowen's argument. Try again.

Rick,

no more rationing based on ability to pay

We don't ration on ability to pay now. If you need care you get it irrespective of ability to pay.

Yea, I am pretty sure God does not want old people to have health care...

lol, I said wast your tax money, you know, the truth, He is not into stealing, or people that don't work getting other peoples hard earned.

lol, and I'm sure singing a bill as a first act as a nations leader to send more of said wasted tax dollars around the world to be used by one of the greatest perpetrators of crimes against humanity namely Planed Parenthood.

charity for those who can't take care of themselves, YES.

stealing to pay for lies you told to get elected, NO.

But I can understand if the parallels to banana republics make you uncomforbale.

Oh, let me assure you that such a comparison doesn't make me uncomfortable in the slightest, but, rather, merely amused...

Ya I'm sure God wanted the liberals to wast your tax money

Yea, I am pretty sure God does not want old people to have health care...

- end of life management
- more competition among Doctors (read; lower compensation )
- Changes in patent laws
- universal coverage pool
- no more rationing based on ability to pay

Then you're worse then a fool.

While in isolation Social Security might be “fine” and need only some minor adjustments, the entire budget is looking rather bleak. So, taking Social Security off the table might make the problem intractable.

Or the Defense budget, or Farm subsidies, or any number of things we currently do. If you want to say we nee to look at the budget in total ... no argument, if you are saying that any of the other things like Defense should be untouched ... no dice.

Thank god we didn't "fix" social security by privatizing it during the Bush administration, because a lot more seniors would be eating cat food and losing their homes.

Ya I'm sure God wanted the liberals to wast your tax money instead of you being able to save it on your own so you might have some when you get older.

lol!

...and the inevitable tax increases which our Year 0 Caudillo hinted at yesterday?

"Caudillo"? Oh my, perhaps the president should walk around dressed like this so that he can fit the illustrious description...

We can easily afford it as is, and it will unleash all kinds of creative potential in our economy as people start businesses and change jobs without fear that they'll be bankrupted if they lose their health insurance and get sick.

Before you worry about releasing the creative potential of those who might start businesses in the future, what about those of us with businesses today whose fear of being bankrupted has nothing to do with losing health insurance but everything to do with killing our current creative potential by destroying credit markets, engaging in uncontrolled deficit spending that is practically begging for rampant inflation, a belligerent hostility to free markets and capitalism, and the inevitable tax increases which our Year 0 Caudillo hinted at yesterday?

What we're going to do is move toward a single-payer health care system, which will fix that problem.

I can't wait to see the responses that line gets...
