Actually, the greatest contributor to rising healthcare costs are unhealthy fat asses who eat like shit. There is a reason universal healthcare works in other countries: it's because their populations are generally much healthier to begin with. Those healthcare systems in Europe operate at fractions of the cost as ours because the majority of their populations are not suffering from chronic PREVENTABLE conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
I will agree with you that the quickest way to reduce health care costs and increase the health status of America is preventive measures. Countries with universal health care have healthier populations because they have access to preventive health care. However, preventive care costs in doctor's visits, etc. Uninsured people do not go to the doctor to receive preventive care. There is also a genetic factor to heart disease and diabetes that cannot be ignored.
Shucks, I thought you were above making immature personal attacks of this nature. Jillio's really getting to you, eh? Her posts are par for the course, but I have a feeling they're bringing out a nasty side in you. That's a shame.
What exactly is wrong with commenting on and exposing someone's psychotic, logically fallacious, and borderline treasonous behavior? This guy is claiming that Obama is a Muslim? C'mon. If you think there's is even just a little bit of credibility to that, you are absolutely nuts. This sort of rhetoric should not be tolerated at all.
Exactly.
This Looney Tunes guy is certainly welcome to put a sign on his car that exposes his buffoonery (The "keep your gubment hands off my medcare" analogy is fairly apt in this case), but the motivation behind his opinions is obviously suspect. Nothing more than a crazy.
Bingo.
Why in the world would you choose to defend and align yourself ideologically with someone like this? I've recently developed an extreme distaste for Obama, but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree with any rabid anti-Obamite that comes out of the woodwork. You seriously need to check yourself and your ideals before you go defending this piece work.
